TURBINE ASSEMBLY OF TURBO-PUMP UNIT Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC F04D13/04 F01D15/08 F01D9/02 F01D5/14 

FIELD: engines and pumps.

SUBSTANCE: turbine assembly of the unit includes a working medium - steam supply housing, a nozzle block with inclined nozzles, a turbine having a shaft with a runner, and a waste steam outlet housing located downstream of the turbine in the steam flow direction. The steam supply housing is equipped with a header including an axisymmetrical annular cover having the shape of a flattened fragment of a tore or a toroid. The turbine runner us made at least of one disc with blades. Blades are convex-concave as to width and have radial height comprising (0.05÷0.25) of the disc radius. The blade thickness is variable in the direction of steam flow with maximum in the middle part of the blade chord width. The chord width of the blade in the projection to a conditional chord plane attaching inlet and outlet side edges of the blade does not exceed radial height of the blade. The nozzles are made in the disc in the amount of 8÷15, located radially at equal distance with their longitudinal axes from the turbine axis and equally spaced in a conditional circumferential direction at equal angles determined in the range of (24÷45)°. Total number of blades exceeds by 2.6÷34.4 times the number of nozzles.

EFFECT: increasing service life, improving reliability and operating efficiency of a turbine assembly at simultaneous reduction of material consumption and improving compactness of the assembly.
