1. Steam pressure 2. Arrangment 3. Steam flow 4. Cycle |
Turbine classification |
|
Charles parsons |
Anglo-irish. Inventor of steam turbine - 1884 |
|
1. Tandem compound 2. Cross compound |
Tubine arrangements |
|
Cross compound |
All the turbines arr not joined on the same shaft |
|
Tandem compound |
Turbines joined end to end to each other on one shaft. |
|
Steam flow |
Main steam flow may breakup to flow in two, three, or more directions. Single flow, double flow, triple flow turbines. |
|
Main steam header |
Contains and guide the flow of superheated, high pressure steam from boiler to the turbine. |
|
Basket strainer |
Prevent large solid materials from reaching & damaging the turbines. |
|
Reheat turbine |
A turbine that steam is send back to the boiler for reheating after partially used. Can be name double reheat if it is used twice. |
|
Steam chest |
A manifold that contains the control (governing) valves |
|
Inlet bends |
Connects the steam chest with the nozzle block in the H.P turbine. |
|
Nozzle block |
The first row of stationary nozzles. |
|
Full arc steam admission |
A procedure used to start up turbines from a cold or relatively cool condition. |
|
Rotating blades or bucket |
Bladed attached to the rotor. |
|
Control (governing) valves |
Controls the flow of steam to the high pressure turbine |
|
Main stop valve |
Admit steam to the turbine for normal operation or shut off the flow of steam quickly if emergency conditions requires it. |
|
Stationary blades or nozzles |
Blades attached to the cylinder or casing. |
|
Cold reheat steam |
Exhaust or steam from H.P turbine piped back to the boiler to be reheated. |
|
Reheat stop valve |
A valve placed in series in the hot reheat steam line to I.P turbine to protect it from dangerous overspeeds in an emergency. A further insurance that the hot reheat steam flow will be cut off. |
|
Intercept valve |
A valve depended upon to close quickly in the case of a trip. |
|
I.P turbines |
A turbine that has a longer blades for the expanded steam. |
|
Crossover |
A pipe or duct that contains and guides the steam from I.P ti the L.P turbine. It is the largest pipe on the entire turbine. |
|
Hot reheat steam |
Steam returning from the boiler that will go to the I.P turbine. |
|
Extractions |
Various points along the blade path steam which bled steam off the turbine. This steam is piped to the feedwater heaters. |
|
L.P turbine |
The last bit of work of steam will be extracted in this turbine. |
|
Close cycle |
A cycle where the turbine uses the water over and over again. |
|
1. Single impulse stage 2. Curtis stage |
Types of impulse turbine |
|
Impulse type |
A type of turbine which is the force that turns the turbine comes from the impact of the steam jet on the buckles or blade. |
|
Reaction type turbine |
A type of turbine which all blades, being the same shape act like nozzles with steam expanding, gaining velocity and losing pressure while passing through. |
|
1. Impulse type 2. Reaction type |
Fundamental types of steam turbine |
|
Sealing |
Stop steam leakage past the blading or diaphram to get top efficiency from unity |
|
Balance drum |
Compensate the force that pushes the rotor towards the low pressure of the rotor. |
|
H.P turbine casing |
Made of high grade steel to withstand the initial pressures and temperature of the steam. |
|
I.P turbine casing |
Usually made of the same quality steel as the H.P turbine but somehaw have a thinner wall section. |
|
L.P turbine casing |
Turbine casing usually made of fabricated low carbon steel plate. |
|
Turning gear |
A motor driven combination of gears that engages and turns the turbine shafts at a very slow speeds. Used to prevent the shaft from warping or bowing. |
|
Atmospheric relief |
Consist of a thin lead of copper diaphram across an opening in the exhaust hood which ruptures at a slight internal pressure. |
|
Shaft seal |
Prevent steam leakage out of the turbine and air leakage into the turbine. |
|
1. Carbon - used in small turbines 2. Water - 3. Labrynth - used in many turbines |
Three common type of shaft seals. |
|
1. Lubricating oil 2. Control oil 3. Main oil tank 4. Main shaft pump 5. Auxiliary oil pump |
Oil system |
|
Lubricating oil |
Oil that is supplied to bearing to allow the turbine shaft to rotate without touching the bearings. |
|
Control oil |
Same oil used to lubricate the bearing except it is at higher pressure. Used in the valves in the main steam header. |
|
Main oil tank |
Tank or reservoir that is located below and away from the heat of the turbine to reduce fir hazards. |
|
Main shaft pump |
A centrifugal pump mounted directly on the turbine shaft in the frint standard. |
|
Auxiliary oil pump |
Provide oil to the system during start-up and shutdown. |
|
1. Oil driven booster pump - located in the oil tank. Drive the oil from aux. pump 2. Ejector - use small quantity of h.p oil to lift large quantity oil 3. Hydrogen seal - reduce pressure from main oil system 4. Turning gear oil pump - small pump that supply oil to the bearings and turning gears 5. Oil coolers - reduce oil temperature 6. Vapor extractor - motor driven fan that removes oil vapor |
Primers for main shaft pump |
