Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A plurality of slots with different widths are provided in a plurality of line on a stationary blade surface. More specifically, the steam turbine stationary blade has a hollow nozzle with a penetrating space, which is connected with a diaphragm outer ring or inner ring, and a plurality of suction slots extending radially which are arranged on the blade surface. At a position where a water film deposited to the blade surface is thick, the width of a slot is smaller and at a position where the water film is thin, the width of a slot is larger.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A steam turbine stationary blade with a hollow inner portion, including: a plurality of slots formed on a blade surface of the steam turbine stationary blade, extending in a blade height direction and provided in a plurality of lines, wherein the slots are located on a pressure side of the stationary blade, wherein the slots include a first slot located upstream in the turbine axial direction and a second slot located downstream of the first slot and having a slot width larger than the slot width of the first slot, wherein the first slot is located at a position within a range of l/L ratio from 0.6 to 0.8 where l represents a distance along the blade surface from a leading edge of the stationary blade to a given position on the blade surface and L represents a distance along the blade surface from the leading edge of the stationary blade to a trailing edge of the stationary blade, wherein the second slot is located at a position where the l/L ratio is larger than at the position of the first slot, and wherein the steam turbine stationary blade with the hollow inner portion is made of a plastically deformed metal plate. 2. The steam turbine stationary blade according to claim 1 , wherein the first slot is 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm in width. 3. The steam turbine stationary blade according to claim 2 , wherein the first slot is about 0.5 mm in width and the second slot is about 1 mm in width. 4. A steam turbine having a turbine stage comprising a steam turbine stationary blade and a moving blade located downstream of the steam turbine stationary blade in a working fluid flow direction, wherein the steam turbine stationary blade according to claim 3 is used as the steam turbine stationary blade. 5. A steam turbine having a turbine stage comprising a steam turbine stationary blade and a moving blade located downstream of the steam turbine stationary blade in a working fluid flow direction, wherein the steam turbine stationary blade according to claim 2 is used as the steam turbine stationary blade. 6. The steam turbine stationary blade according to claim 1 , wherein the slots provided in the plurality of lines are arranged in a broken line pattern in the blade height direction respectively. 7. A steam turbine having a turbine stage comprising a steam turbine stationary blade and a moving blade located downstream of the steam turbine stationary blade in a working fluid flow direction, wherein the steam turbine stationary blade according to claim 6 is used as the steam turbine stationary blade. 8. A steam turbine having a turbine stage comprising a steam turbine stationary blade and a moving blade located downstream of the steam turbine stationary blade in a working fluid flow direction, wherein the steam turbine stationary blade according to claim 1 is used as the steam turbine stationary blade.
