Abstract: To provide a method of controlling a turbine equipment and a turbine equipment capable of carrying out a starting operation of controlling a load applied to a speed reducing portion while complying with a restriction imposed on an apparatus provided at a turbine equipment. The invention is characterized in including a speed accelerating step (S1) of increasing a revolution number by driving to rotate a compressing portion and a turbine portion by a motor by way of a speed reducing portion, a load detecting step (S2) of detecting a load applied to the speed reducing portion by a load detecting portion, and a bypass flow rate controlling step (S3) of increasing a flow rate of a working fluid bypassed from a delivery side to a suction side of the compressing portion when an absolute value of the detected load is equal to or smaller than an absolute value of a predetermined value and reducing the flow rate of the bypassed working fluid when equal to or larger than the absolute value of the predetermined value.

Abstract: To provide a method of controlling a turbine equipment and a turbine equipment capable of carrying out a starting operation of controlling a load applied to a speed reducing portion while complying with a restriction imposed on an apparatus provided at a turbine equipment. The invention is characterized in including a temperature elevating step (S1) of elevating a temperature of a working fluid flowing to the turbine portion, a flow rate increasing step (S2) of increasing a flow rate of a working fluid bypassed from a delivery side to a suction side of the compressing portion when a temperature of the working fluid flowing to the turbine portion is elevated by a heat source portion, and a flow rate reducing step (S3) of reducing the flow rate of the bypassing working fluid after an elapse of a predetermined time period after increasing the flow rate of the bypassing working fluid.

Abstract: A scroll structure of a rotary machine and a rotary machine is provided in which it is possible to achieve an improvement in reliability and functionality of a rotary machine such as a turbine and to achieve a reduction in size. Provided are a scroll main body that entirely covers an area surrounding an annular channel extending in a circular shape about a rotational axis in a rotating portion of a rotary machine and a cylindrical channel extending from the annular channel at the rotational axis side and extending towards the rotating portion; and a fitting portion that supports the scroll main body with respect to a support portion and a casing accommodating the scroll main body so as to enable expansion and contraction in a radial direction centered on the rotational axis, while restraining the scroll main body in the direction along the axial axis.

Abstract: To provide a thermal insulation structure for a structural member and a scroll structure which can be easily used even in integrally constructed structural members and which can ensure reliability and thermal insulation properties. Provided are securing portions (52 and 53) extending outward from an outer wall of the structural member; a press plate (55) attached to the securing portions (52 and 53), with a gap between the press plate and the outer wall; and a thermal insulation member (56) disposed between the outer wall and the press plate (55).

Abstract: To provide a connecting structure of a double tube and an assembling or disassembling method of the double tube capable of disassembling or repairing an inner tube without cutting an outer tube. A connecting structure (10A) includes an outer tube (11) and an inner tube (12). The outer tube (11) is provided at a location corresponding to a connection flange portion (13) of the inner tube (12) with an outer tube short cylinder (15) including openings (14) each having a lid (14a). The outer tube short cylinder (15) is provided at respective ends with outer tube connection flange portions (16A and 16B). There are provided push-up bolts (21) capable of adjusting gaps respectively between an outer tube connection flange portions (17A-1 and 17A-2) which are opposed to each other, and between an outer tube connection flange portions (17B-1 and 17B-2).

Abstract: A double pipe apparatus that includes an outer pipe and an inner pipe inserted into the outer pipe, and regulates a flow of a gas flowing through the double pipe apparatus. The double pipe apparatus includes a flow regulating valve, a valve stem which which penetrates the outer pipe and the inner pipe, and fluid leakage preventing parts including a bellows which is provided between the outer pipe and the inner pipe and which prevents the gas from leaking outside the outer pipe. One end of the bellows is attached to an inner wall of the outer pipe, and the other end of the bellows is attached to a flange formed on the valve stem, so that the gas flowing through the inner pipe is prevented from leaking outside the outer pipe.
