Reduced weight control stage for a high temperature steam turbine

Reduced weight control stage for a high temperature steam turbine

The control stage buckets for a steam turbine have airfoils which are hollowed out to form an interior cavity within the airfoil. The cavity opens through the radial inner platform of the bucket and terminates short of the tip of the bucket. The buckets are therefore of reduced weight. This reduced...

Zusammenfassung:The control stage buckets for a steam turbine have airfoils which are hollowed out to form an interior cavity within the airfoil. The cavity opens through the radial inner platform of the bucket and terminates short of the tip of the bucket. The buckets are therefore of reduced weight. This reduced weight causes reduced creep damage in the axially extending dovetails along the rotor rim.
