Abstract
Design of a new single-cylinder steam turbine up to 100 MW with axial exhaust pipe is considered in details. The turbine belongs to the class A.3 and is capable to operate in both steam and gas combined cycle. The turbine is designed for operation at newly commissioned generating plants, including those with air-cooling condensers. A.3 class turbines are single-shaft single-cylinder machines with loop-type steam circulation in the flow path, which are suitable for both radial and axial exhaust hood arrangement. In this paper, axial exhaust hood version with an air-cooling condenser is described. The turbine cylinder consists of four major parts: steam intake path made from two cast casings – inner and outer, and also intermediate and exhaust welded parts. The flow path is as follows when passed through the left flow stages, steam is diverted by 180o and flows down the inter-casing space to the right flow stages. Full designing cycle of this single-cylinder turbine with axial exhaust hood was completed in less than 9 months. Design documentation for the steam turbine included a complete set of 3D-models (100% of component parts and assemblies).
