Abstract: A steam valve is provided with a valve body, a valve seat, and a valve rod provided for the valve body. The valve body has a bottom portion to which a recessed portion is formed, and the recessed portion has an edge, which is positioned on an upstream side of a place at which a shock wave is generated in steam flowing through a steam path defined by the valve body and the valve seat.

Abstract: A main steam valve with improved flow characteristic and enhanced reliability comprises a valve seat, a main valve body, and a bypass valve body. A side surface of the bypass valve body slidably fits into the inner surface of the main valve body and forms a steam inlet comprised of a plurality of rows of inlet openings arranged along the side surface. The openings are diametrically symmetrically arranged in the bypass valve, and the positions of the openings in each of the rows are shifted from the positions of openings in the next row.

Abstract: A hydraulic pressure generating apparatus includes a hydraulic oil feed line for feeding hydraulic oil with high pressure from an oil tank to a hydraulic pressure control system of a generator by an oil feeding pump unit, a hydraulic oil return line for returning drain oil from the hydraulic pressure control system to the oil tank, and a circulation line for circulating and purifying the hydraulic oil of the oil tank by a circulating pump unit. In such apparatus, the hydraulic oil is flame resistant hydraulic oil which is hardly deteriorated by direct heating, and the flame resistant hydraulic oil is heated by a heater disposed in the oil tank.

Abstract: In a gas turbine apparatus of a premixed gas combustion type, a plurality of fuel supply systems are provided for supplying fuels to a combustion chamber of the gas turbine apparatus after the fuels are mixed with a high-pressure air, and the supply of fuels from the plurality of fuel supply systems is controlled according to programmed patterns which are predetermined for the fuel supply systems. According to a variation of the turbine load, the patterns of fuel supplies are executed in a transferred manner at a number of transfer points along a variation of the turbine load, with equal amounts of fuel reduced and increased stepwisely in the precedingly and subsequently executed patterns at each of the transfer points.
