| Popis: | This paper presents the experimental research for the flow of the last stage of a turbine for saturated steam with the nominal output 1090 MW. In addition, the flows in 600, 800, and 1070 MW output turbines were also measured. Pneumatic probes were used to determine the distribution of static pressures and absolute angles at the outlets from the penultimate and the last stages of the turbine. Optical probes were used to measure wetness distribution and were placed in positions similar to the pneumatic probes. The courses of static pressures, angles, and wetness for all outputs respectively were compared and discussed. The difference between wetness courses on the left and right side of the turbine as well as before and behind last stage was minimal. Absolute angles of steam behind the last stage are strongly influenced by the vacuum level in the condenser. Big difference between the outlet angles from last stage on the left and right side of the turbine is confirmed. The influence of the tie-boss was evident in both pneumatic and wetness measurements. Differences of the flow field on the left and right sides of the turbine behind the penultimate stage are noted and discussed. These differences lead to a dynamic loading of the penultimate rotor blades and could reduce the service life. |
