Abstract: A seal arrangement (15; 26; 43; 50) for sealing an annular gap (14) between a high-pressure steam space (12) and an adjacent low-pressure steam space (13). The gap is defined between two turbine casings (10, 11) each split into two casing halves, the seal arrangement (15; 26; 43; 50) has a seal element (24; 47; 58) which is formed in a segmented and annular manner and extends between the two turbine casings (10, 11) and engages in an annular receiving groove (9, 23; 30, 34; 49; 54) by means of at least one of its radial end regions. The seal arrangement (15; 26; 43; 50) has at least one segmented ring (16, 20; 27, 31; 44; 51; 55) with a first circumferential surface (17, 21; 28, 32; 45; 52, 56) releasably attached to one of the turbine casings (10, 11) in the region of the annular gap (14), and has an opposite second circumferential surface (18, 22; 29, 33; 46; 53, 57) with the annular receiving groove (9, 23; 30, 34; 54) or, in a one-piece form, with the radially projecting annular seal element (47; 58).

Abstract: A valve for shutting off and/or controlling the throughflow of fluid flows is provided. A valve housing, having a valve seat contact surface, a valve cover with a valve cover thickness which is provided with a material allowance, and the valve body form together a first, maximum lift; and when the worn region of the valve seat contact surface is removed, the valve cover thickness can be removed such that the first, maximum lift remains the same or remains the same with only minor deviations; and/or the valve housing, valve seat contact surface, valve cover with the valve cover thickness, and the valve body is provided with a material allowance form a first, particularly maximum lift; and when the worn region of the valve seat contact surface is removed, the valve body can be removed such that the first, maximum lift remains the same or with only minor deviations.

Abstract: A valve diffuser (3) for a valve (1), wherein the valve diffuser (3) has a valve seat (8) to make contact with a valve body. The valve seat (8) has a bushing (10) for making contact with a valve body. The bushing is formed from a different reinforced material wherein the valve diffuser (3) and preferably stellite.
