Abstract
A steam turbine with an operating temperature of more than 650° C. includes a thermally highly-loaded housing (G) which is produced by a casting technique at least partially from a nickel-based alloy. Production of such a steam turbine is simplified by the housing (G) being divided into a multiplicity of smaller housing sections (G1, . . . , G8; G21, G22, G31, G32) which are interconnected and together form the housing (G).
Claims22
A steam turbine with an operating temperature of more than 650° C., the steam turbine defining an axis, which steam turbine comprises a thermally highly-loaded housing which is produced by a casting technique at least partially from a nickel-based alloy, wherein the housing is divided into a plurality of smaller housing sections which are interconnected and together form the housing to simplify production of the housing.
The steam turbine as claimed in 19, further comprising:
- connecting lines connecting the at least two stop valves to the control valve;
- a connecting port connecting the control valve to the steam turbine;
- and
- wherein the connecting lines and the connecting port form a fork-shaped configuration.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
