<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To vertically adjust a diaphragm without the need of removing a rotor and the lower half part of the diaphragm. <P>SOLUTION: A support bar (430 or 530) for a turbine diaphragm that facilitates reduced maintenance cycle time and cost, is disclosed. In one embodiment, the support bar (430 or 530) is secured to the turbine diaphragm vertically rather than horizontally, allowing access to remove a lower diaphragm half (410 or 510) without having to remove the rotor for maintenance. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
