Abstract: Electro-hydraulic control assembly for turbine valves, including electric control means, a shaft connected to a turbine valve, a valve housing and an integrated compact actuator unit disposed in the housing, the actuator unit including an electro-hydraulic converter connected to the electric control means, a hydraulic control cylinder being connected to the electro-hydraulic converter and having a control piston connected to the shaft, and a hydraulic supply system, the supply system including a fluid reservoir, a fluid pump being fed from the fluid reservoir and having a pressure side, an electric motor for driving the pump, and a hydraulic pressure accumulator connected to the pressure side of the pump.

Abstract: An electrohydraulic actuating drive for a valve is constructed as a compact drive block which is mounted on the housing of the valve. The drive block includes a support structure which supports other components of the actuating drive on the valve housing and which consists of two plate-shaped end walls one of which is secured to the valve housing, and at least two carrier members which interconnect the end walls and keep the other end wall at an axial distance from the one end wall. One of the other components of the actuating drive is a non-carrying removable tubular circumferential wall which surrounds the support structure and is in sealing contact with the end walls to form a storage receptacle for a low-pressure hydraulic fluid therewith. The remaining components of the actuating drive are a hydraulic pump, an electric motor driving the pump, a pressure storage, a hydraulic actuating cylinder-and-piston unit, a force storage spring and an electro-hydraulic transducer.

Abstract: In a turboset having a high-pressure turbine stage and at least another turbine stage mounted on foundation supports and largely disposed above a machine floor, the high-pressure turbine stage being connectible to main steam lines, a valve arrangement includes emergency-stop main-steam governing valves through the high-pressure turbine stage is connectible to the main steam lines, the emergency-stop main-steam governing valves being disposed forward of the head of the high-pressure turbine stage and below the machine floor, and including an upper foundation ceiling disposed approximately at the level of the machine floor and formed with beams from which the emergency-stop main-steam governing valves are thermally displaceably suspended.
