7.4.1 Turbine casing


The turbine casing consists of high pressure casing and low pressure casing
(exhaust casing). The turbine casing is split into two parts horizontally. The high
pressure casing is cast steel construction ad the exhaust casing is the welded
construction.
The flanged faces of the casing are accurately ground for complete sealing. Both
halves are secured by stud bolts, nuts and dowels.
The emergency stop valve, steam chest and first stage nozzle are provided in the
upper casing.
The upper casing of high pressure casing is supported by the special supports on
which the governor side bearing housing are mounted.
7.4.2 Turbine rotor
The main shaft is manufactured from only one piece steel forging accurately
machined, with ground journals.
After the blades, coupling and other rotating elements are completely assembled,
rotor is dynamically balanced.
The target gears of speed sensors are fitted to the ends of governor side of rotor
for the electric governor system.
7.4.3 Bearing cover & bearing housing
The governor side bearing cover is equipped with the speed sensors for 505
governor, hydraulic amplifier, shaft vibration probes, key phase probe, axial
displacement probes and gas breather.
The coupling side bearing cover is equipped with the shaft vibration probes,
speed sensors for electric over speed trip device and gas breather.
The both bearing housings are jointed to the turbine lower casing by the special
supports.
The governor side bearing housing slides axially by the center key that is located
on the bed to absorb thermal expansion in the axial direction.
The temperature detectors (RTD) for bearing pads are mounted on the governor
side and coupling side bearing housings.

7.4.4 Packing box & labyrinth packing

a.

Packing box
The packing box splits horizontally with the upper half bolted to the
upper half of the turbine casing.

b.

Labyrinth Packing
Each ring consists of 4 segments and each segment has a spring.
The 2 halves of the packing box must lineup correctly to avoid a step at
the joint.
If the labyrinth packings are only to be examined and reused, it is
essential that each one be identified as to its exact location and assembly
of segments.

c.

Labyrinth fin
Labyrinth fins is mounted on turbine rotor by wire.
These fins shall be removed from turbine rotor.

7.4.5 Journal bearing


The turbine rotor is supported on two TITLING PAD type journal bearings lined the
white metal.
Lubricating oil enters the bearing, through grooves of rectangular cross section,
which are machined across the joint face of the top half.
Oil grooves are provided in the bearing to carry the lubricating oil.
If the bearings only are to be examined or replaced, remove the bearing cover and
cap.
Do not remove the turbine casing.
7.4.6 Thrust bearing
The Kingsbury type thrust bearing is located in the governor side bearing housing.
Although thrust force is small in the impulse type turbine, this bearing has sufficient
area to add extra safeguards.

NOTE
The temperature of the journal and thrust bearings is measured by the RTD.
These RTD elements are embedded into the white metal.

7.4.7 Emergency stop valve


The valve is installed on the steam inlet flange at the governor side of the steam
turbine upper casing.
It serves to open and close the turbine and to shut off automatically the steam supply
in emergency by working together with emergency trip device.
This valve comprises of 2 valve discs; the main valve (2) and the small valve (5).
The valve has a pilot piston to provide a more positive closing when tripped by the
safety devices.
Governor oil pressure (9.5 Kg/cm2g) supplied from the lube oil system is acted to the
piston (47).
The valve stem the valve discs of the emergency stop valve shall be opened and
closed by means of moving this piston (47).
If any trouble causes the solenoid valve to actuate, the governor oil pressure acting
on piston (47) will drop.
And the valve is fully closed by the spring (53).
When this valve was closed, it will not reopen automatically even if the governor oil
pressure is restored.
A stainless steel strainer is provided in this stop valve casing to prevent the entry of
foreign matter into the steam turbine.
This should be inspected periodically or when the inlet steam pressure drops for
unknown reason.
7.4.8 Over speed trip device
The over speed trip striker is fitted in the end of the turbine rotor and oil relay is
mounted on the governor side bearing housing. The over speed trip device consists
of a trip striker; spring, adjusting liner and nut.
The trip striker is spring loaded to stay in the rotor until the speed of the turbine
reaches a pre-determined safety level.
Up to this speed the centrifugal force is smaller than spring load, but at the speed the
trip striker is released from the set screw by overcoming the force of the spring, then
the trip striker strike the lever, and biting of the lever and piston is declutched.
If so, the control oil for the emergency stop valve is escaped into the bearing housing,
and the steam turbine is stopped.
The adjusting liner is used for adjusting the spring load and thus sets the trip speed.

Detailed description

The sealing steam defends that the air flow into the turbine casing from the turbine
gland.
Before the steam turbine is started up, the surface condenser system is operated and
the steam turbine gland forms a vacuum.
If the air ejector inhaled the air from the turbine gland, a vacuum will drop.
So, sealing steam should be supplied in the turbine gland.
This sealing steam pressure is controlled automatically by the control valves (PV1530, PV-1535)
Those control valves are operated by the air signal from the controller (PIC-1530)
detected the sealing steam pressure.
