The turbine is a single-shaft machine with separate HP, IP and LP parts, the HP part being a single-flow cylinder and the IP parts double-flow cylinders. The individual turbine rotors and the generator rotor are connected by rigid couplings. HIGH PRESSURE (HP) Turbine :

The

outer casing of the HP turbine is of the barrel type and has neither an axial nor a radial flange. This prevents mass accumulation with high thermal stresses. The almost perfect rotational symmetry permits moderate wall thickness of nearly equal strength at all sections.

 The The

guide blade carrier is axially split and kinematically supported. As only slight pressure differences are effective, the horizontal flange and connection bolts can be kept small. barrel type casing permits flexibility of operation in the form of short start-up times and a high rate of change of load even at high initial steam conditions.

INTERMEDIATE PRESSURE (IP) Turbine :

The IP part is of double-flow construction. Attached in the axially-split casing is an

kinematically and taking the guide blades.

inner casing supported

The

reheated steam is admitted to the inner casing through the top and bottom centre of the casing. The arrangement of an inner casing confines the high steam inlet conditions to the admission branch of the casing, while the joint of the outer casing is only subjected to the lower pressure and lower temperature at the exhaust of the inner casing.

LOW PRESSURE (LP) Turbine :

The casing of the double-flow LP cylinder is of three-shell design. The shells are axially split and of rigid welded construction. The inner shell taking the first rows of guide blades, is attached
kinematically in the middle shell.

Independent Two

of the outer shell, the middle shell, is supported at four points on longitudinal beams. rings carrying the last guide blade rows are also attached to the middle shell.
