WET STEAM REACTION TURBINE Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC F01D1/32 F01D25/32 

FIELD: mechanical engineering; turbines.

SUBSTANCE: proposed reaction turbine for wet steam has housing accommodating hollow rotor fitted on shaft and made in form of at least one disk with system of distributing channels, all communicating with space of rotor and connected on periphery with de Laval nozzles. Axes of de Laval nozzles are arranged tangentially. Rear walls of distributing channels are made in form of penetrable partitions separating distributing channels from condensate collecting chambers. Condensate collecting chambers communicate with ring chamber of disk with fitted-in condensate outlet pipes whose inlet holes are arranged square to direction of disk rotation. Pipes are connected with condensate outlet line.

EFFECT: increased service life and reliability of reaction turbine operating on wet steam or "wet" gas owing to elimination of erosion of nozzle walls.
