TURBINE PLANT Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: construction engineering; turbine plants for thermoelectric plants, thermal and atomic stations. SUBSTANCE: turbine plant includes mean-pressure and high- pressure cylinders with steam supply and discharge pipe lines fitted with vertical supports, rotors mounted in movable bearings sliding over longitudinal key joints relative to fixed foundation frames mounted on cross-bars of foundation. Steam supply and discharge pipe lines are additionally provided with spring-loaded supports of non-vertical comprehensive action for prevention of seizing of longitudinal key joints; spring-loaded supports are mounted in pairs on vertical section of pipe line or on adjoining horizontal sections. Support including cross-member with rods and spring secured between bases is additionally provided with at least two suds and nuts. Deformation of spring is adjusted according to force exceeding load from pipe line. EFFECT: enhanced operational reliability due to reduction of forces transmitted by pipe lines to turnable plant. 3 cl, 3 dwg
