  • Inner turbine shell axial movement
    Patent number: 9488062
    Abstract: A clearance control system for a turbine having a stator assembly and a rotor assembly includes a hydraulic or pneumatic controller that axially drives, through a shaft, one or more actuators connected to the stator assembly casing. The controller causes relative movement between the stator and rotor assemblies to adjust the clearances between portions of the stator and rotor in accordance with the varying operating conditions of the turbine. More particularly, the controller moves the stator relative to the rotor in first and second axial directions to compensate for thermal expansion and contraction during the operating conditions of the turbine.

  • Seal end attachment
    Patent number: 9353635
    Abstract: A seal end attachment is provided and includes a vessel through which a working fluid flows, the vessel being formed to define a recess with a mating surface therein, a seal contacting the mating surface and a pressing member being more responsive to a high temperature condition associated with the flow of the working fluid than the vessel and being disposed within the recess to press the seal against the mating surface responsive to the condition being present.
