Abstract

A new design of the low-pressure cylinder is presented, which allows increasing the efficiency of the flow path of a steam turbine in the area of unregulated steam extraction. The cylinder upgrading is based on the use of a special ring, which directs the steam flow stream, formed by the intersection in the radial clearance of the rotor, directly into the heat exchanger through uncontrolled extraction. Experimental and computational studies have confirmed the advantages and effectiveness of the new design compared to the initial one, in which steam leakage from the radial gap entered the output stage.

 

Keywords: steam turbine, low-pressure cylinder, rotor, extraction chamber
