Abstract

A steam turbine 1 includes a turbine body 11 which includes a rotor 5 which is configured to rotate around an axis Ac, and a casing 6 which covers the rotor 5 to form a flow path through which steam flows in an axis Ac direction, together with the rotor 5 , a thermal insulation member 12 which is provided to be in contact with an outer surface of the casing 6 in a high-pressure side region 61 out of the high-pressure side region 61 and a low-pressure side region 62 of the steam in the axis Ac direction of the casing 6 , and a soundproof cover 13 which covers the low-pressure side region 62 out of the high-pressure side region 61 and the low-pressure side region 62 via a space between the outer surface of the casing 6 and the soundproof cover 13.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A steam turbine comprising:
a turbine body which includes a rotor which is configured to rotate around an axis, and a casing which covers the rotor to form a flow path through which steam flows in an axial direction in which the axis extends, together with the rotor;
a thermal insulation member which is provided to be in contact with an outer surface of the casing in a high-pressure side region out of the high-pressure side region and a low-pressure side region in which pressure of the steam is different from each other of the casing in the axial direction; and
a soundproof cover which covers the casing in the low-pressure side region out of the high-pressure side region and the low-pressure side region via a space between the outer surface of the casing and the soundproof cover.

2. The steam turbine according to claim 1 ,
wherein the soundproof cover includes at least one silencing porous plate in which a plurality of silencing holes are formed at intervals from each other.

3. The steam turbine according to claim 2 ,
wherein the soundproof cover includes a plurality of the silencing porous plates which are arranged at intervals in a direction away from the outer surface of the casing, and
wherein when viewed in the direction away from the outer surface, positions of the silencing holes are shifted from each other in a pair of the silencing porous plates adjacent to each other.

4. The steam turbine according to claim 2 ,
wherein the soundproof cover further includes a sound absorbing porous plate which is disposed at a position closer to the outer surface of the casing than the silencing porous plate and in which a plurality of sound absorbing holes are formed at intervals from each other, and
wherein a diameter dimension of each sound absorbing hole is smaller than a diameter dimension of each silencing hole.

5. The steam turbine according to claim 1 ,
wherein the casing is formed of different members in the low-pressure side region and the high-pressure side region, and
wherein the casing in the low-pressure side region is formed to be thinner than the casing in the high-pressure side region.

6. The steam turbine according to claim 3 ,
wherein the soundproof cover further includes a sound absorbing porous plate which is disposed at a position closer to the outer surface of the casing than the silencing porous plate and in which a plurality of sound absorbing holes are formed at intervals from each other, and
wherein a diameter dimension of each sound absorbing hole is smaller than a diameter dimension of each silencing hole.

7. The steam turbine according to claim 2 ,
wherein the casing is formed of different members in the low-pressure side region and the high-pressure side region, and
wherein the casing in the low-pressure side region is formed to be thinner than the casing in the high-pressure side region.

8. The steam turbine according to claim 3 ,
wherein the casing is formed of different members in the low-pressure side region and the high-pressure side region, and
wherein the casing in the low-pressure side region is formed to be thinner than the casing in the high-pressure side region.

9. The steam turbine according to claim 4 ,
wherein the casing is formed of different members in the low-pressure side region and the high-pressure side region, and
wherein the casing in the low-pressure side region is formed to be thinner than the casing in the high-pressure side region.

10. The steam turbine according to claim 6 ,
wherein the casing is formed of different members in the low-pressure side region and the high-pressure side region, and
wherein the casing in the low-pressure side region is formed to be thinner than the casing in the high-pressure side region.

11. A construction method of a steam turbine comprising:
a step of preparing a turbine body which includes a rotor which is configured to rotate around an axis, and a casing which covers the rotor to form a flow path through which steam flows in an axial direction, together with the rotor, a thermal insulation member which is provided to be in contact with an outer surface of the casing in a high-pressure side region out of the high-pressure side region and a low-pressure side region in which pressure of the steam is different from each other of the casing in the axial direction, and a soundproof cover which covers the casing in the low-pressure side region out of the high-pressure side region and the low-pressure side region via a space between the outer surface of the casing and the soundproof cover;
a thermal insulation member attachment step of attaching the thermal insulation member to the outer surface in the high-pressure side region of the casing; and
a soundproof cover attachment step of attaching the soundproof cover with a space between the outer surface and the soundproof cover in the low-pressure side region of the casing.
