Turbine by-pass arrangement for thermal power plants

摘要

A turbine by-pass arrangement for use in thermal power plants serves to by-pass a portion of the steam delivered by the steam generator around the turbine and discharge it into the coupling sleeve located between the turbine outlet and the condenser inlet. The by-passed steam is divided into two parts, one of which is de-compressed as well as de-superheated while the other part is merely de-compressed. The two parts are admitted into the coupling sleeve in such manner that each constitutes a screen with respect to the other as regards protection for the turbine and condenser components of the installation.
