Abstract

A steam turbine 10 according to an embodiment includes: a casing 20 having a turbine rotor 22 ; a diaphragm outer ring 23 arranged at an inner side of the casing 20 , and having a hollow part 30 inside thereof; a diaphragm inner ring 24 arranged at an inner side of the diaphragm outer ring 23 ; and a stationary blade 25 joined to the diaphragm outer ring 23 by welding and supported between the diaphragm outer ring 23 and the diaphragm inner ring 24 . A non-joint part 61 existing at a part of a joint part 60 between the diaphragm outer ring 23 and the stationary blade 25 , and in which an end part at an outer diameter side of the stationary blade 25 is not welded to the diaphragm outer ring 23 ; and a suction part 40 collecting waterdroplet or a water film from the non-joint part 61 are included.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A steam turbine, comprising:
a casing where a turbine rotor is provided to penetrate;
a diaphragm outer ring arranged at an inner side of the casing, and having a hollow part inside thereof, an inner wall surface of the diaphragm outer ring forming a steam flow passage, the inner wall surface configured to move a water film toward a downstream of the steam flow passage while adhering the water film on the inner wall surface;
a diaphragm inner ring arranged at an inner side of the diaphragm outer ring;
a stationary blade forming a turbine stage with a rotor blade implanted in the turbine rotor and supported between the diaphragm outer ring and the diaphragm inner ring, the stationary blade having an end face at an outer diameter side, the end face being contacted with the inner wall surface of the diaphragm outer ring, the end face at the outer diameter side of the stationary blade being welded directly to the inner wall surface of the diaphragm outer ring;
a non-joint part existing (1) at a part of a joint part between the inner wall surface of the diaphragm outer ring and the end face at the outer diameter side of the stationary blade at the turbine stage where wet steam flows, and (2) at a leading edge portion of the stationary blade, and in which the end face at the outer diameter side of the stationary blade is not welded to the inner wall surface of the diaphragm outer ring; and
a suction part communicated with the hollow part, and configured to collect waterdroplet or a water film from the non-joint part.

2. The steam turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the suction part includes:
a through hole formed at an inner wall of the diaphragm outer ring, and communicating between a steam flow passage where main steam flows and the hollow part; and
a suction port made up by the through hole which is not covered with the stationary blade when the stationary blade is joined to cover a part of the through hole at an inner wall surface of the diaphragm outer ring,
wherein the non-joint part is the end face at the outer diameter side of the stationary blade covering a part of the through hole.

3. The steam turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the suction part includes:
a through hole formed at an inner wall of a part where an inner wall surface is covered with the stationary blade when the stationary blade is joined, and communicated with the hollow part; and
a suction port formed at an end face at the outer diameter side of the stationary blade and made up by a recessed groove communicated with the through hole,
wherein the non-joint part is the end face at the outer diameter side of the stationary blade where the recessed groove is formed.

4. The steam turbine according to claim 2 , wherein the suction port is made up of one or plural opening(s).

5. The steam turbine according to claim 3 , wherein the suction port is made up of one or plural opening(s).

6. The steam turbine according to claim 2 , wherein a guide groove guiding the water film to the suction port is formed at the inner wall surface of the diaphragm outer ring.

7. The steam turbine according to claim 3 , wherein a guide groove guiding the water film to the suction port is formed at the inner wall surface of the diaphragm outer ring.

8. The steam turbine according to claim 4 , wherein a guide groove guiding the water film to the suction port is formed at the inner wall surface of the diaphragm outer ring.

9. The steam turbine according to claim 5 , wherein a guide groove guiding the water film to the suction port is formed at the inner wall surface of the diaphragm outer ring.

10. The steam turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the hollow part is communicated with a condenser provided at outside of the steam turbine.

11. The steam turbine according to claim 2 , wherein the hollow part is communicated with a condenser provided at outside of the steam turbine.

12. The steam turbine according to claim 3 , wherein the hollow part is communicated with a condenser provided at outside of the steam turbine.

13. The steam turbine according to claim 4 , wherein the hollow part is communicated with a condenser provided at outside of the steam turbine.

14. The steam turbine according to claim 5 , wherein the hollow part is communicated with a condenser provided at outside of the steam turbine.

15. The steam turbine according to claim 6 , wherein the hollow part is communicated with a condenser provided at outside of the steam turbine.

16. The steam turbine according to claim 7 , wherein the hollow part is communicated with a condenser provided at outside of the steam turbine.

17. The steam turbine according to claim 8 , wherein the hollow part is communicated with a condenser provided at outside of the steam turbine.

18. The steam turbine according to claim 9 , wherein the hollow part is communicated with a condenser provided at outside of the steam turbine.
