    HP TURBINE

    The HP turbine has 2 main stop valves and 2 control valves located symmetricallyto the right and left of the casing .The main steam is admitted through the main steam inlet passing first the mainstop valves and then the control valves. From the control valves the steam passesto the turbine casing.The HP outer casing is designed as a barrel-type casing without axial joint .

    Because of its symmetrical construction, the barrel-type casing retains itscylindrical shape and remains leak proof during quick changes in temperature (e.g.on start-up and shut down, on load changes and under high pressures.The inner casing, too, is almost cylindrical in shape and axially split.

    The inner using is attached in the horizontal and vertical planes in the barrel-typeusing so that it can freely expand radially in all directions and axially from a fixedpoint when heating up while maintaining concentricity relative to the turbine rotor.

    On the admission side, four projections of the inner casing and on the exhaustside three projections into corresponding grooves in the barrel.

    Shaft Seals and Balance Piston

    FUNCTION:The H P turbine has shaft seals in front and rear. The front shaft seal islabyrinth type,while the rear shaft seal is see through type. The function of these shaftseals is to seal the interior of the casing from the atmosphere at the ends of the shaft on

    the admission and exhaust sides. The difference in pressure before and after the raisedpart of the shaft seal on the admission side serves to counteract the axial thrust causedby steam forces. The effective seal diameter is suited to the requirements for balancing

    the axial thrust.

    GAP SEALS : Sealing between the rotating and stationary parts of the turbine is

    achieved by means of seal strip caulked into seal rings and into the rotor.SEAL RING: The seal rings the number of which depends on the pressure gradient tobe scaled are divided into several segments, mounted in T-shaped annular grooves inthe inner casing and shaft seal cover. In the region subjected to the low relativeexpansion in the vicinity of the combined journal and thrust bearing, the seal strips arecaulked alternately into the shaft and into spring-supported segmented seal rings in the

    casing, forming a labyrinth to impede the outflow of steam.In the region subject to greater relative expansion at the exhaust end, see through sealsare used. in which the seal strips are located opposite each other, caulked into the Shaftand into seal rings cantered in the outer casing.STEAM SPACES: Steam spaces are provided within the shaft seals.For HP turbineconnection is given to IP/LP crossover, seal steam supply header and gland steam

    condensor.

    Rear Bearing Pedestal

    Arrangement: The bearing pedestal is located between the HP and IP turbines. Itsfunction is to support the turbine casing and bear the HP and IP turbine rotors. Thebearing pedestal houses the following turbine components:

    Combined journal and thrust bearing Shaft vibration pick-up Bearing pedestal vibration pick -up Thrust bearing trip (electrical).

    Oil Supply: Lubricating oil is admitted to the bearing shell, fro, one side via oil linefrom where it flows to the oil spaces milled into the upper and lower bearing shellsat the hi joint. Oil leaving the journal bearing flows to the two annular groovesadjacent to the bearing surface and then to the thrust pads. Through the two returncowlings, is discharged into the drain area in the pedestal.

    Passages are located at the lowest point in the lower bearing shell through whichhigh pressure jacking oil is supplied ' ed under the journal at low speed of the.turbine reef (on start-up or shutdown)

    CASING SUPPORT& FIXED POINT

    The turbine casing Is supported on the support horns such as to make allowance forthermal expansion. It is essential for the casing to retain concentric alignment withthe rotor, which is supported independently.The turbine casing is supported With its two front and two rear support horns on thehorn supports of the bearing pedestals.

    Fixed Point: The fixed point for the turbine casing is located at the rear horn supporton HP-IP pedestal at the turbine centreline level and is formed by the parallel keys.

    IP Turbine

    Casing : The casing of the IP turbine is split horizontally and is of double-shellconstruction. Inner casing is supported in the outer casing.

    Steam from the HP turbine after reheating enters the inner casing from top andbottom through two admission branches which are integral with the mid section ofthe outer casing.

    This arrangement provides opposed double flow in the two blade sections andcompensates axial thrust.

    The provision of an inner casing confines the steam inlet conditions to the admissionsection of this casing, while the joint flange of the outer casing is subjected only tothe lower pressure and temperature effective at the exhaust from the inner casing. Inthis way, difficulties arising from deformation of a casing with flange joint due to non-uniform temperature rise, e.g. on start-up and shut-down, are avoided.

    GAP & SHAFT SEAL : The function of the shaft seals is to seal the interior of theturbine casing against the atmosphere at the front (thrust bearing end) and rear shaftpenetrations of the IP turbine.

    In the region subject to low relative expansion in the vicinity of the combined journaland thrust bearing, the seal strips are caulked alternatively into the shaft and intospring-supported segmented rings in the casing, forming a labyrinth to impede theoutflow of steam.

    In the region subject to greater relative expansion at the exhaust end, see-throughseals are used, in which the seal strips are located opposite each other, caulked intothe shaft and into seal rings cantered in the Outer, casing.

    Sealing between the rotating and stationary elements of the turbine is achieved bymeans of seal strip caulked into seal rings and into the rotor.

    Steam Spaces Steam spaces are provided within the shaft seals. One connectionis drawn off to the steam seal header. The slight amount of leakage steam which arestill able to pass the seal ring are conducted from the space into the seal steam

    condenser.

    CASING SUPPORTS & FIXED POINTS

    The turbine casing is supported on the support horns such as to make allowance forthermal expansion. It is essential for the casing to retain concentric alignment with the

    rotor, which is supported independently .

    The turbine casing is supported with its two front and two rear support horns on thehorn supports of the bearing pedestals at the turbine centreline level. This arrangementdetermines the height of the casing and also allows thermal expansion to take place inthe horizontal plane by the support horns sliding on the sliding pieces of the bearingpedestals.

    The fixed point f or the turbine casing is located at the front horn support at the turbinecentreline level and is formed by the parallel keys . Axial expansion of turbine casingoriginates from this point.

    LP TURBINE

    Shaft Seals : The function of the shaft seals, arranged between the bearing pedestals

    and the LP turbine, is to seal the interior of the LP turbine casing against theatmosphere at the shaft penetrations.Sealing between the rotating and stationary elements of the turbine is achieved bymeans of seal strip caulked into seal rings. The pressure gradient across the seal isreduced by conversion of pressure energy into velocity energy which is thendissipated as turbulence as the steam passes through the numerous compartments.

    Seal Rings: The seal rings are divided into several segments and mounted ingrooves in the shaft seal casing such that they are free to move radially. Eachsegment is held in position against a shoulder by 3 helical springs.Steam Spaces

    Steam spaces are provided within the shaft seals. During start-up and on-line turbineoperation, seal steam is fed into space to prevent the penetration of air into thevacuum region of the system. The slight amounts of leakage steam which are still ableto pass the middle seal rings are conducted from the space into the seal steamcondenser.

    COUPLING & BARRING GEAR

    There is limit to the length of turbine shaft that can be economically made.So there is need for coupling to join the individual rotors together to transmit the

    driving torque to each other and generator rotor. Due to high torque flexiblecoupling can not be used ,otherwise thrust bearing is required for each looselyconnected shaft. So rigid coupling is used between turbine shafts so that entireshaft behaves as one continuous rotor.

    Turning gear is provided to rotate turbine shafts slowly during the pre run up

    operation and after shut down, to prevent uneven heating or cooling of shafts. Thatlead to bending between the fixed and moving with possible fouling between fixedand moving parts. Another advantage of turning gear is that the necessity forsuddenly admitting a large flow of steam, in order start turbine from rest is avoidedand therefore prevents sever temperature gradients occurring in turbine metal.

    During turning gear operation, the shaft system is rotated by double row bladewheel which is driven by oil provided by AOP. This oil passes into nozzle box tonozzle which conduct the oil jet in front of the blading. After passing the bladingoil drains into bearing pedestal and flows with the bearing oil into return flowpiping.

    Steam Purity Required values for main steam condensateThe deposits which occur in turbines due to impurities in the steam can lead to thermodynamicand mechanical inefficiencies and, with the presence of salts, especially chlorides, and sodiumhydroxide also cause damage to turbine parts. The corrosion stressing caused by active

    deposits, f or example, has an adverse effect on the fatigue strength of the blade material whenthe steam is in the transition zone between the superheated and the saturated state.Compliance with the target values is mandatory in continuous operation, with the values in thenormal operation column preferable. With the commissioning of a new plant and starting-upoperation, however, these values ran not be attained with an economical outlay. The valueslisted in the column "starting-up operation" are then valid.It should be pointed out that adherence to the target values does not rule out deposition in theturbine with absolute certainty. Wherever possible every effort should be made to achieve thevalues in the normal operation column.A recording instrument may be used to continuously monitor the electrical conductivity of themain steam and turbine condensate following a strongly acid cation exchange unit. In order todetermine slight impurities, the sodium concentration should be measured in addition to this.Should saline contamination occur, the turbine is to be immediately washed with saturatedsteam to remove salt deposits.Whether an alkaline, neutral or combined method is used for conditioning, the water-steamcirculation is for the customer to decide. If an alkaline method is used, the oxygen content inthe main steam condensate can be max. 0.02 mg/kg and the pH value in the turbinecondensate max. 9.3 with brass condenser piping. When the condenser piping is of cooper-nickel alloys, the pH value must not exceed 9.5. There is no limitation f or the pH value withnon-corroding steel or titanium .
