FLUIDICALLY CONTROLLED STEAM TURBINE INLET SCROLL

A turbine inlet (26, 500) includes an annular housing (202) and a main inlet (200) port, a steam (24) outlet, and a flow diversion port in the annular housing (202). A center axis (224, 230, 232) of flow from the flow diversion port avoids intersecting a center axis (224, 230, 232) of the steam (24)...

Zusammenfassung:A turbine inlet (26, 500) includes an annular housing (202) and a main inlet (200) port, a steam (24) outlet, and a flow diversion port in the annular housing (202). A center axis (224, 230, 232) of flow from the flow diversion port avoids intersecting a center axis (224, 230, 232) of the steam (24) outlet. A turbine system (700) includes a turbine inlet (26, 500), a fluid supply, and a flow diversion supply conduit (214, 216, 707, 807). The turbine inlet (26, 500) has an annular housing (202) including a main inlet (200) port therein, a steam (24) outlet therein, and a flow diversion port therein. The flow diversion supply conduit (214, 216, 707, 807) couples the fluid supply to the flow diversion port. A method of retrofitting a turbine inlet (26, 500) in a turbine system (700) comprises opening a flow diversion port through an annular housing (202) of a turbine inlet (26, 500), connecting a flow diversion supply conduit (214, 216, 707, 807) to the flow diversion port, and connecting the flow diversion supply conduit (214, 216, 707, 807) to the fluid supply.
