Vorrichtung zur Abstützung eines Ventilgehäuses einer Turbomaschine

摘要

Apparatus for supporting the body of a valve for a turbomachine such as a steam turbine on its foundation which is so constructed as to permit displacement of the valve body in three different directions at right angles to each other as a result of stresses imposed upon it when in service. To this end, the valve body is provided with three laterally extending support arms, each arm being connected in a flexible manner with a rigid support frame anchored to the foundation which permits the three different directions of movement. In addition, the support frames are each provided with means by which the corresponding arms on the valve body can be adjusted under restraint in at least two different directions at right angles to each other during assembly and also during dismantling of the valve body when out of service.
