TURBINE BEARING ARRANGEMENT

TURBINE BEARINGS

Types of bearing Used in Steam turbine: Elliptical bearing-Radial type of simple journal Bearing. Tilting type bearing-self aligned ,radial type journal bearing. Thrust bearing: pad type of journal bearing for axial thrust of rotor

TURBINE BEARING THRUST BEARING:

Double collar Position at middle standard. Used for axial position and Thrust load of rotor. Size of thrust bearing:2258 sq. cm Bearing pad made of copper back to increase bearing heat transfer.

ELLIPTICAL BEARING:

TURBINE BEARING

TILTING PAD BEARING:

Improved dynamic performance of the rotor-bearing system. Bearing adaptability to shaft movements as a result of to the ability of the shoe to tilt. Uniformly distributed oil flow from equidistant radial feed holes. Increased stability due to greater damping. Lower spare parts costs since only the pads need to be changed.

Used Where there are larger temp. changes and therefore greater mis-Alignment potential.

Nozzle & Diaphragm

NOZZLE BOX & DIAPHRAGM

Steam flow concerns: (A) Steam path contour (B) Nozzle area (C) Nozzle angle (D) Flow coefficient Full and partial arc admission system

Nozzle & Diaphragm

Lower bending Stress and deflection due to the high stage pressure drop. In the smaller diaphragms ,nozzle partitions are inserted into the punched band for easier welding and to maintain proper uniform throat condition between partitions. Larger diaphragms nozzle partitions are welded directly to fabricated or forged outer rings and inner web plates.

STEAM PATH CONTOUR

STEAM PATH CONTOUR

Steam Balance holes are provided. Removable Radial strips segment Smaller rotor packing diameter and more packing Teeth Steam balance holes control thrust
