  • Patent number: 9976445
    Abstract: A pressure regulating system which is an arrangement with a turbo machine for example a nuclear steam turbine. Main lubricant oil pump supply fluid for example lubricant oil to the nuclear steam turbine passes through a cooler and via filter through a main supply line. The pressure regulating system is connected to the main supply line through an actuating line. Based on requirement of the fluid excessive fluid can be diverted through the actuating line to the pressure regulating system and from there to oil tank. In oil tank an auxiliary lubricant oil pump is provided to supplement the supply of the lubricant oil to the nuclear steam turbine. An emergency lubricant oil pump has also been provided to supply the lubricant oil to the nuclear steam turbine in case when regular supply is not working.

  • Patent number: 9816623
    Abstract: A high-flow valve arrangement in an electro-hydraulic safety control unit to discharge oil volume on instructions from a steam turbine safety system to actuate actuators to stop steam flow in steam turbines to shut-off, is provided. The valve includes a valve body with a flange having a plurality of spaced-apart through holes, a flat-circular plate cartridge and a valve housing configured to each other. The housing includes a chamber to accommodate oil volume; an inlet/outlet port to enable the oil volume to enter and exit therefrom, and a peripheral seat where the cartridge seats. The plate cartridge is capable of being moved upward, defining a very small stroke, upon the increase or decrease of the oil volume in the chamber to open and close the outlets defined via the plurality of spaced-apart through holes to enable and stop the fluid flow therefrom.
