    摘要: An improved method of heating feedwater streams in a steam-to-steam reheating system for turbine generators is disclosed in which a drain cooler is located to receive the reheater drain and pass it in heat exchange relationship with the discharge of the highest pressure feedwater heater. By use of the drain cooler, heat rate improvement is effected on both single stage reheat plants and two-stage reheat plants. Cycle impairment from moisture carryover in the moisture separator/reheater is also reduced.

    摘要: A steam turbine system has a plurality of moisture-separator-reheaters (MSR) each connected via a respective drain line to a corresponding drain receiver. Each drain receiver includes a further drain line coupled through a flow control valve to a common line. The common line empties into a drain cooler connected at the highest pressure end of a series of feedwater reheaters. The drain cooler dumps through another flow control valve to one of the feedwater heaters. Each of the drain receivers includes a pressure sensor and liquid level sensor. A control processor monitors the pressure sensors and selects the drain receiver subjected to the lowest pressure. The processor then fully opens the valve associated with the selected drain receiver and thereafter regulates the liquid level in the others of the drain receivers by adjustment of their respective flow control valves in response to their respective level sensors. The liquid level in the selected drain receiver is adjusted to its preselected level by control of the flow control valve connected to the drain cooler. The pressure in the common drain line is regulated to the pressure at the lowest pressure drain receiver by adjustment of the control valves associated with the other drain receivers.

    摘要: A moisture separator which incorporates an inner cylinder disposed in coaxial relation with an exhaust pipe of a steam turbine utilizes the spiral secondary flow of a gas stream to remove liquids which are entrained therein. The moisture separator incorporates an inner cylinder which has one or more apertures through its wall. The inner cylinder is placed in coaxial relation with the exhaust pipe of a steam turbine with means for sealing the axial ends of an annular chamber formed between the cylinder and the exhaust pipe. Means are provided for dividing the annular chamber into a plurality of arcuate spaces and for removing liquid which collects within each of the arcuate spaces. The moisture separator utilizes the characteristic of gas streams which creates spiral secondary flows when forced to turn around a bend. The spiral flows cause liquid, which is entrained in a gas stream, to migrate to the inner surface of a pipe or cylinder and coalesce on the walls thereof. The moisture separator utilizes these characteristics of turning streams of gas in order to separate liquid from a moisture-laden gas stream.

    摘要: A sequence of activating and deactivating arcuate nozzle chambers which together form a structure for admitting steam into a steam turbine and directing it through turbine blades. At least one small and one large nozzle chamber are cooperatively activated and deactivated to provide maximum turbine efficiency. After minimum admission operation has been achieved, a small nozzle chamber disposed arcuately adjacent the activated nozzle chambers is increasingly activated as load is increased. When the small nozzle chamber has been fully activated and load on the turbine increases further, the large nozzle chamber is increasingly activated with load. At a predetermined degree of activation of the larger nozzle chamber, the small nozzle chamber is increasingly deactivated as the large nozzle chamber is increasingly activated. When the large nozzle chamber has been completely activated and the load on the turbine increases further, the small nozzle chamber is again increasingly activated as the load increases. The most efficient turbine operation obtains when the small nozzle chamber is deactivated simultaneously with activation initiation of the large nozzle chamber. Suitable relative disposition of the nozzle chambers allows avoidance of double shock operation of the turbine blades when the previously described method is practiced.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for converting high pressure, high temperature elastic fuild (such as steam) to elastic fluid having a desired relatively low pressure and low temperature. Relatively high pressure, high temperature steam supplied from any point (preferably from a steam drum or equivalent location) in a steam cycle is initially throttled from a high temperature and pressure to a relatively intermediate temperature and pressure. Such intermediate temperature and pressure steam is routed through the tube side of a heat exchanger and subsequently throttled to a relatively low temperature and pressure. The resulting low temperature and pressure steam is then separated into its liquid and vapor phase components wherein the vapor phase is transmitted through the shell side of the heat exchanger and absorbs heat from the intermediate pressure, and temperature steam. The relatively low pressure, low temperature steam exiting the heat exchanger has the desired thermodynamic state. The temperature of the steam exiting the heat exchanger may be regulated by adjusting the high to intermediate pressure throttling device and the pressure of the low pressure steam exiting the heat exchanger may be regulated by adjusting the intermediate to low pressure throttling device. Such temperature and pressure regulation permits maintenance of steam temperature and pressure leaving the heat exchanger for varying temperatures and pressures of the relatively high pressure, high temperature steam supply. Such temperature and pressure maintenance enables elastic fluid utilizing devices to operate efficiently and reliably for fluctuating pressures and temperatures of the supply source.

    摘要: A nuclear steam turbine power plant system having an arrangement therein for extended fuel cycle operation. The power plant includes a turbine connected at its inlet to a source of motive fluid having a predetermined pressure associated therewith. The turbine has also connected thereto an extraction conduit which extracts steam from a predetermined location therein for use in an associated apparatus. A bypass conduit is provided between a point upstream of the inlet and the extraction conduit. A flow control device is provided within the bypass conduit and opens when the pressure of the motive steam supply drops beneath the predetermined pressure as a result of reactivity loss within the nuclear reactor. Opening of the bypass conduit provides flow to the associated apparatus and at the same time provides an increased flow orifice to maintain fluid flow rate at a predetermined level.
