摘要

The present application provides a continuous purge system (100) for use with a steam turbine. The continuous purge system may include a one or more pressure sensors (130) positioned about the steam turbine, one or more pressure lines (140) in communication with the one or more pressure sensors, and a critical flow nozzle system. The critical flow nozzle system (200) may include one or more critical flow nozzles (210) in communication with the one or more pressure lines (140).
