  • Method for a temperature compensation in a steam turbine
    Patent number: 9416684
    Abstract: A structure and method are provided for preventing or at least minimizing thermally-induced structural distortions, such as may occur when a steam turbine is cooling down. The steam turbine may include an inner housing and an outer housing. An intermediate space is formed between the inner housing and the outer housing, and sealing steam may be injected into the intermediate space to avoid the formation of temperature strata in the interspace and thus prevent the outer housing from bowing.
    Type: Grant

  • TURBINE CONDENSER FOR A STEAM TURBINE
    Publication number: 20160169053
    Abstract: A turbine condenser includes an area with condenser tubes for liquefying waste steam from the steam turbine, a chamber formed by condenser walls for receiving the waste steam, and a diverted steam channelling system for channelling diverted steam into the chamber in the turbine condenser, wherein the diverted steam channelling system includes an annular nozzle extending into the turbine condenser, the outlet end of which has an uneven edge.
