0 GENERAL

0. 1 PRINCIPLES OF CONSTRUCTION (Figs. 1 and 2)

Turbine steam flow is contained within a single HP/IP module. This basically
consists of an outer cylinder, an inner cylinder, and a rotor. The inner cylinder
houses all the HP diaphragms and IP diaphragms 1 to 8, the HP nozzle box
assembly, the IP steam inlet connections, and the centre gland ring carrier.
The front and rear gland ring carriers are housed in the outer cylinder. A
diaphragm carrier houses IP diaphragms 9, 10 and 11.
The outer cylinder and inner cylinder are located such as to accommodate
thermally induced expansion.
All gland carriers are similarly designed with allowances for expansion to
prevent damage to the gland rings.
The module is designed to withstand the effects of pressure and temperature
variations at all expected loads without detriment to turbine performance.

0. 2 COOLING STEAM FLOW

Steam bled from between HP stages 13 and 14 is allowed to circulate in a
controlled quantity between the cylinders to promote acceptable temperature
gradients on the cylinder walls.
A proportion of the steam flow from the HP stage 1 exit, leaks through the
inlet gland, cooling the upstream face of the first IP disc.

0. 3 ROTOR SEALING ARRANGEMENTS (Figs. 1 and 2)

Gland seals are designed to avoid steam leakage to atmosphere and to
prevent air ingress into the module cylinders.
Sealing is provided by spring loaded gland rings housed within gland carriers.
The gland rings have integral fins which form gland steam expansion
chambers in conjunction with castellations machined on the shaft.
The rings are spring loaded to maintain a minimal radial clearance with
respect to the rotor.

0. 4 EXPANSION ARRANGEMENTS
Expansion relative to all three axes and the maintaining of axial (longitudinal),
radial and transverse clearances is achieved as follows:
0. 4. 1 Horizontal supports (Figs. 3, 6 and 9)
The main components of the HP/IP module, i.e., the outer cylinder, the inner
cylinder and the diaphragm carrier, are held on sliding supports at the
horizontal plane and in sliding keyways on the module centre line, allowing
radial expansion, while maintaining the cylinders location with respect to the
axis of the rotor.
The diaphragms and gland ring carriers are supported on suspension keys
located just below the horizontal joint.

0. 4. 2 Longitudinal expansion (Figs. 5 and 9)

Longitudinal expansion of the inner cylinder is permitted by the sliding
supports, the cylinder being located at the rear end by an external integral
collar.
The outer cylinder is located at the rear by key blocks machined as an
integral part of the bottom half casing, engaging in keyways formed as part of
the pedestal.
Adjusting plates are located either side of the keyblock and similar packers
are secured to both sides of the keyway.
0. 4. 3 Longitudinal guide keys (Figs. 6 and 10)
The module cylinders are provided with guide keys allowing longitudinal
expansion and vertical expansion whilst locating the module transversely.
0. 4. 4 Sliding surfaces
The materials used for the sliding components and the clearances provided
ensure minimum contact friction.

0. 5 STEAM ADMISSION (Figs. 11 and 12)

HP steam is admitted through nozzle segments housed in four nozzle boxes
supplied independently from the HP steam control valves.
IP steam is admitted to the IP turbine stages through two steam inlet
connections supplied by the IP steam control valves. The steam supply is full-
arc admission.

0. 6 CASING HORIZONTAL JOINT ASSEMBLY (Fig. 2)

The HP/IP outer and inner cylinder halves are assembled by studs which are
heat tightened. Gaskets are not used on the horizontal joint surfaces.
The top and bottom half cylinders are located by parallel dowels, and guide
rods are provided to facilitate accurate upper cylinder positioning during
erection and maintenance.

1 HP/IP OUTER CYLINDER

1. 1 GENERAL
The HP/IP module outer cylinder is constructed from top and bottom half, low
alloy steel castings. The outer cylinder is machined to house the inner
cylinder, the diaphragm carrier, the front and rear gland carriers, and the HP
and IP steam inlet connection assemblies.

4 STEAM PATH

4. 1 GENERAL
HP steam, admitted to the HP portion of the module, flows through the HP
stages and exhausts to a reheater. From the reheater, this steam is admitted
to the IP part of the HP/IP module via control valves, and flows through the IP
stages and then via the crossover pipes to the LP module.
The running clearance between the rotating rotor and the fixed diaphragms
allows for thermally induced expansion. To minimise the resulting leakage,
sealing arrangements are provided at the centre bore of the diaphragms and
at the blade shrouding.
The space between the inner and outer cylinders in the area of the HP and IP
steam inlets is cooled by a flow of steam bled from between HP stages 13
and 14 via drillings within the HP inner cylinder, bypassing the integral sealing
collar.

4. 2 BLED STEAM CONNECTIONS

Bled steam supplying heater No. 7 is tapped from between IP stages 4 and 5
of the module. The steam connection is sealed within the inner cylinder by an
arrangement of sealing rings.
Bled steam supplying heater No. 6 is tapped from between stages 8 and 9 in
the IP portion of the module. The steam connection is sealed within the outer
cylinder by a sealing ring and an integral collar.
Bled steam supplying heater No. 5 is taken from the IP exhaust.

HP/IP MODULE

5. 2 HP NOZZLE BOX (DIAPHRAGM STAGE 1) (Figs. 13 and 14)

The fixed blades of the stage 1 diaphragm are machined as an integral part of
the nozzle plate.
The plate is assembled in four segments within the respective nozzle box
section, located within a ‘T’ - shaped channel.
Each segment is secured in this channel by a retaining dowel and a further
safety dowel. Both dowels are in turn secured by locking plugs.
To minimise leakage over stage 1 blading shrouds, baffle rings are caulked
into grooves machined in the nozzle box extension ring.

5. 3 HP DIAPHRAGM STAGES 2 TO 14 (Fig. 15)

These diaphragms are of welded construction, the fixed blades being
positioned between bands which are welded between separate inner and
outer rings.
An extension ring, welded into a recess in the outlet face of the diaphragm
outer ring, houses the baffle rings, caulked into extension ring grooves, which
minimise steam leakage over the shrouds of the adjacent stages of rotating
blading.
The diaphragm is split at the horizontal joint and the halves are held together
by shouldered screws. Centring rings, concentric with the shouldered screws,
locate the top half to the bottom half.
The diaphragm is located transversely by a single centring key secured within
the inner cylinder, and is located axially in a groove machined in the bore of
the inner cylinder.
The complete diaphragm is supported within the inner cylinder by suspension
keys engaging in slots machined immediately below the diaphragm horizontal
joint, and secured in recesses in the inner cylinder bore by shouldered
screws.
In addition to the provision of baffle rings to minimise steam leakage between
stages at the blade tip, barrier keys are provided to minimise leakage through
the horizontal joint.
T - shaped grooves at the diaphragm bore house spring loaded gland rings
which function in a manner similar to the main gland rings. The top gland ring
segments are secured by stop plates.

5. 4 IP DIAPHRAGM STAGE 1 (Fig. 16)

The diaphragm for stage 1 is of welded construction, the fixed blades being
positioned between bands which are welded between separate inner and
outer rings. It is located by the inner cylinder and the centre gland carrier. The
diaphragm is bolted at the horizontal joint, supported on suspension keys and
located by a centring key in a similar manner to the HP diaphragms. There
are no gland rings and no barrier keys.

HP/IP MODULE

5. 5 IP DIAPHRAGMS STAGES 2 TO 11 (Fig. 17)

These diaphragms are constructed in a similar manner to HP diaphragm
stages 2 to 14. They are similarly supported on suspension keys and located
transversely by a centring key. Barrier keys and gland rings are provided.
IP diaphragms 5 and 6 are bolted together prior to assembly.

6 BLADES

6. 1 GENERAL (Figs. 18 and 19)

There are 14 HP blade rows and 11 IP blade rows mounted on integral discs
on a common rotor. The blades are handed to accept the opposing direction
of the HP and IP motive steam flow.
The blades are of similar design, although detail dimensions vary.
The blades have integral shrouds and forked root attachments. The fingers of
the forked root locate in corresponding slots in the rotor disc and each blade
is secured by parallel pins which are locked in place by imprinting the disc.

6. 2 BLADE SEALING
Steam leakage at the blade periphery is minimised by seals formed between
the integral blade shrouding and baffles caulked into the adjacent diaphragm
extension ring.

7 ROTOR

7. 1 GENERAL (Fig. 20)

The rotor is machined from a single forging, with integral discs machined to
carry the rotor blading for both HP and IP stages. The blades are located in
grooves machined to take the blade forked roots.
Steam balance holes are provided through the discs for all HP stages, apart
from stages 1 and 8, and all IP stages apart from stages 1 and 6.
Special plugs are secured within the front face of the HP stage 1 disc and the
rear face of the IP stage 1 disc to enable creep readings to be taken during
shutdown.
The rotor shaft to the rear of the HP stage 14 disc, and between the HP and
IP first stage discs and the front of the last IP stage 11 disc is machined to
form castellations to provide labyrinth restrictions with the module gland rings,
as part of the gland sealing assemblies. Similar castellations, machined
between each of the HP and IP discs, provide steam sealing at the
diaphragm bores.
The rear end of the rotor terminates in a coupling flange which is in turn
coupled to the LP cylinder rotor. The HP/IP rotor is supported by journal
bearings at the front and rear ends.

Date 20/11/01
abcd CNK 12 G MA-011 MM001

HP/IP MODULE

7. 2 ROTOR BALANCING (Fig. 20)

Grooves machined in the rear face of HP stages 1, 14 and IP stage 1and the
front face of IP stage 11 enable balance weights to be secured to the rotor.
The weights are located in the appropriate groove and are retained in position
by locking screws.

7. 3 ROTOR COUPLINGS (Figs. 21 and 22)

The rotor shaft is coupled to the adjacent rotor by hydraulically tightened bolts
incorporating a tapered sleeve, ensuring accurate location.
A split spacer ring is positioned between the coupling flanges of the HP/IP to
LP rotor to facilitate longitudinal shaft positioning and for maintenance
purposes.
All the coupling bolt nuts are recessed into the coupling flange face, and the
recesses are blanked by half cover plates, secured to the shaft coupling by
screws.
Provision is made for jacking screws.

8 ROTOR SHAFT SEALS

8. 1 GENERAL (Fig. 1)
Steam leakage across the rotor shaft is minimised by three gland assemblies
designated as front, centre and rear glands.
The front and rear gland assemblies are positioned at the exhaust end of the
IP and HP stages respectively. The centre gland assembly is positioned
between the HP and IP steam inlets.
The assemblies are housed in gland carriers, the front and rear gland carriers
being housed in the outer cylinder while the centre gland carrier is housed in
the inner cylinder. Gland steam pockets are formed as part of the exhaust
gland carrier castings, sealed against the module outer cylinder bore by
sealing rings.
Gland rings are housed within the gland carriers, spring loaded in relation to
the rotor shaft.

8. 2 FRONT GLAND ASSEMBLY (Fig. 23)

8. 2. 1 Gland carrier
The gland carrier is constructed from top and bottom half, low alloy steel
castings secured at the horizontal joint by hexagon headed screws.
Jacking screws are provided for maintenance purposes.
The gland rings are located within machined grooves in the gland carrier in
four equal segments forming a complete ring.
The top two gland ring segments are retained in the top half carrier by two
stop plates engaging in machined recesses in the segments at horizontal

Date 20/11/01
abcd CNK 12 G MA-011 MM001

HP/IP MODULE

joint level. The stop plates are held in the carrier by socket head screws. The
bottom half segments have no stop plates.
The gland ring radial position is determined by a series of small springs
located in the outer periphery of the gland rings.
The bottom half is retained within the outer cylinder by suspension keys
engaging in machined slots in the bottom horizontal flange of the carrier. The
keys are secured to the outer cylinder by shouldered screws. Adequate
clearance for carrier expansion is provided.
Transverse location is provided by a single key on the module centreline,
secured in the bottom half of the outer cylinder and engaging in a keyway
machined in the carrier.
The carrier is located axially by an integral collar in the bore of the outer
cylinder engaging a groove machined in the periphery of the carrier.
Two gland steam pockets are formed as part of the carrier casting, sealed
against the outer cylinder bore by two sealing rings. The outer pocket
connects to a vacuum, the inner pocket to the gland steam sealing line.
8. 2. 2 Gland rings
The four gland rings, each comprising of four segments, are located within
grooves in the gland carrier.
Steam is allowed to leak through a recess machined into the butt end faces
of the gland segments at the horizontal joint, ensuring gland ring position
relative to the shaft.
The outer gland is similarly pressurised by atmospheric pressure.
Fins machined in the gland ring bore, are positioned adjacent to castellations
machined on the rotor shaft ensuring that steam leakage along the shaft is
restricted.
In the event of minor rotor eccentricity, clearance in the locating grooves will
allow the spring loaded gland rings to retract and minimise damage due to
rubbing and consequent overheating.
8. 2. 3 Gland carrier sealing rings
Gland pockets are formed and sealed by two rings located in grooves
machined in the gland carrier. The rings are spring loaded against the module
outer cylinder bore, and pressurised in a similar manner to the gland rings.

8. 3 CENTRE GLAND ASSEMBLY (Fig. 24)

8. 3. 1 General
The centre gland assembly is generally similar to the front gland assembly. It
contains seven gland rings each comprising of six segments. There are
however no gland pockets and accordingly no sealing rings.
Transverse location is provided by a keyway in the lower half of the gland
carrier. This engages in a key secured to the bottom half of the inner cylinder.

Date 20/11/01
abcd CNK 12 G MA-011 MM001

HP/IP MODULE

Longitudinal location is provided by an integral collar engaging a groove

machined in the bore of the inner cylinder.
Cooling steam is fed to the first stage of the IP flow via the centre gland
assembly.

8. 4 REAR GLAND ASSEMBLY (Fig. 25)

8. 4. 1 General
The rear gland assembly is generally similar to the front assembly. There are
however, six gland rings each comprising of four segments.
Three gland steam pockets are formed as part of the carrier casing, sealed by
three sealing rings. The outer pocket connects to a vacuum, and the inner
pocket is pressurised by HP steam path leakage, with a connection to the
gland steam sealing line.

9 CYLINDER DRAINS

9. 1 GENERAL (Figs. 1 and 26)

The inner cylinder is drained via a small bore pipe welded to an inner cylinder
stub and passing through the outer cylinder to which it is seal welded. A loop
in this pipe between cylinders provides adequate allowance for thermally
induced expansion.
The lowest part of the outer cylinder, together with all sleeved steam
connections are drained.
