  • Patent number: 9567868
    Abstract: A steam turbine control device has first and second valves, first and second valve controllers, and a valve control adjuster. The first valve is provided in a first steam supply path connected to a steam turbine. The second valve is provided in a second steam supply path connected to a lower-pressure side of the steam turbine while bypassing the first valve from on the first steam supply path. The first valve controller controls an opening degree of the first valve based on flow rate information A designating a flow rate of steam to be sent to the steam turbine. The second valve controller controls an opening degree of the second valve based on the flow rate information A. The valve control adjuster adds adjustment to control of the opening degree of the second valve by the second valve controller.

  • Patent number: 9347336
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, there is provided a steam valve apparatus including a main throttle valve, a steam control valve arranged on a downstream side of the main throttle valve, and an intermediate flow-channel part which connects the main throttle valve and the steam control valve. The intermediate flow-channel part is a circular pipe flow channel forming a circular arcuate shape so as to change a flow of steam, which has flowed out of the main throttle valve, from a perpendicular direction into a direction of flowing out into the inlet part. An outlet part is open upward, and a valve rod penetrates a lower part of a casing downward.
