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
