To research the operation feasibility of the equipment in the heat recovery system in a heating unit after retrofitting, the adaptability of the equipment was checked, while the performance check was conducted on the high-pressure heater, the low-pressure heater, the condenser and the deaerator. Results show that, the shell-side strength check of the high-pressure heater can meet the parameter requirements after retrofitting, but the shell-side hydraulic pressure of the equipment should be retested, which is caused by the increase of the shell-side design pressure. The thermal performance check and the shell-side strength check of the low-pressure heater can meet the parameter requirements after retrofitting, but the retrofit may lead to the risk of the tube bundle vibration, which is caused by the increase of the steam velocity of the low-pressure heater. The operation of the condenser is safety with the thermal performance check and the shell-side strength check. The deaerator can basically meet the parameter requirements after retrofitting, while there would be a certain risk of vibration.
