Abstract

A steam turbine pipe 1 of an embodiment includes: an upper half side main steam pipe 11 that leads steam to a steam turbine; an upper half side main steam control valve 30 that intervenes in the upper half side main steam pipe 11; and a post-valve drain pipe 31 that is connected to the upper half side main steam control valve 30 and leads drain to an outside. The steam turbine pipe 1 further includes: a shut-off valve 32 that intervenes in the post-valve drain pipe 31; and a branching pipe 60 that makes the post-valve drain pipe 31 on the side closer to the upper half side main steam control valve 30 than is the shut-off valve 32 communicate with the upper half side main steam pipe 11 between the upper half side main steam control valve 30 and a high-pressure turbine 200.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A steam turbine pipe in a steam turbine facility, comprising:
an upper half side main steam pipe that leads steam from a boiler to an upper half side of a steam turbine;
a lower half side main steam pipe that leads steam from the boiler to a lower half side of the steam turbine;
an upper half side main steam control valve that intervenes in the upper half side main steam pipe and regulates a flow rate of the steam to be led to the upper half side of the steam turbine;
a lower half side main steam control valve that intervenes in the lower half side main steam pipe and regulates a flow rate of the steam to be led to the lower half side of the steam turbine;
an upper half side drain pipe that is connected to the upper half side main steam control valve and has an open end; and
wherein the open end of the upper half side drain pipe is connected to the lower half side main steam pipe between the lower half side main steam control valve and the steam turbine.

2. The steam turbine pipe according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a lower half side drain pipe that is connected to the lower half side main steam control valve and leads drain to an outside; and a shut-off valve that intervenes in the lower half side drain pipe.

3. The steam turbine pipe according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a lower half side drain pipe that is connected to the lower half side main steam pipe between the lower half side main steam control valve and the steam turbine and leads drain to an outside; and
a shut-off valve that intervenes in the lower half side drain pipe.

4. A steam turbine pipe in a steam turbine facility, comprising:
an upper half side main steam pipe that leads steam from a boiler to an upper half side of a steam turbine;
a lower half side main steam pipe that leads steam from the boiler to a lower half side of the steam turbine;
an upper half side main steam control valve that intervenes in the upper half side main steam pipe and regulates a flow rate of the steam to be led to the upper half side of the steam turbine;
a lower half side main steam control valve that intervenes in the lower half side main steam pipe and regulates a flow rate of the steam to be led to the lower half side of the steam turbine;
an upper half side drain pipe that is connected to the upper half side main steam control valve and has an open end;
a lower half side drain pipe that is connected to the lower half side main steam control valve and leads drain to an outside; and
a shut-off valve that intervenes in the lower half side drain pipe,
wherein the open end of the upper half side drain pipe is connected to the lower half side drain pipe between the lower half side main steam control valve and the shut-off valve.

5. A steam turbine pipe in a steam turbine facility, comprising:
an upper half side main steam pipe that leads steam from a boiler to an upper half side of a steam turbine;
a lower half side main steam pipe that leads steam from the boiler to a lower half side of the steam turbine;
an upper half side main steam control valve that intervenes in the upper half side main steam pipe and regulates a flow rate of the steam to be led to the upper half side of the steam turbine;
a lower half side main steam control valve that intervenes in the lower half side main steam pipe and regulates a flow rate of the steam to be led to the lower half side of the steam turbine;
an upper half side drain pipe that is connected to the upper half side main steam control valve and has an open end;
a lower half side drain pipe that is connected to the lower half side main steam pipe between the lower half side main steam control valve and the steam turbine and leads drain to an outside; and
a shut-off valve that intervenes in the lower half side drain pipe,
wherein the open end of the upper half side drain pipe is connected to the lower half side drain pipe between the lower half side main steam pipe and the shut-off valve.
