  • Patent number: 11852032
    Abstract: A turbine includes a rotor including a rotation shaft that rotates around an axis and a blade row formed on an outer surface of the rotation shaft; a casing, which covers the rotor, has a casing inner surface being expanded radially outward approaching a downstream side of the casing in a direction of the axis; and an inner member body formed to line the casing inner surface of the casing such that an extraction port is formed between an upstream side end of the inner member body and the casing inner surface. A discharge port is formed between a downstream side end of the inner peripheral member body and the casing inner peripheral surface. The extraction port and the discharge port are formed in an annular shape centered on the axis. A flow path cross-sectional area of the discharge port is smaller than that of the extraction port.

  • Patent number: 11773753
    Abstract: This turbine stator vane extends in the radial direction which intersects the flow direction of steam, and includes a pressure surface facing the upstream side in the flow direction, and a suction surface facing the downstream side in the flow direction. A plurality of grooves are formed in at least the pressure surface, the grooves extending outward in the radial direction toward the downstream side. At the periphery of the grooves in the pressure surface, formed is a hydrophilic uneven region having greater hydrophilic properties than the pressure surface. The downstream-side ends of the plurality of grooves are connected to slits for capturing a liquified component of the steam.

  • Patent number: 11719132
    Abstract: A turbine stator blade (21) includes a pressure side (21P) extending in a radial direction intersecting a flow direction of steam, and facing upstream in the flow direction. A slit (5) extending in the radial direction and capturing a liquefied component of the steam is formed on a downstream side of the pressure side (21P). A hydrophilic uneven region (6) having a liquid film capacity greater than that of the pressure side (21P) by being recessed in a depth direction intersecting the pressure side (21P) is formed in a further upstream position than the slit (5). The hydrophilic uneven region (6) has a depth in the depth direction increasing and a flow resistance decreasing toward downstream and toward the slit (5).
