A system includes a trip manifold assembly (TMA). The TMA includes a plurality of block valves configured to receive a flow of fluid from a hydraulic power unit (HPU), and a plurality of solenoid valves configured to admit the flow of fluid to actuate the plurality of block valves, a plurality of dump valves, and a plurality of relay valves of the TMA. The plurality of solenoid valves is configured to admit a respective portion of the flow of fluid. The plurality of dump valves is configured to depressurize a trip header of the TMA as an output to operate a plurality of stop valves coupled to a turbine system. The TMA is configured to regulate the flow of fluid to control the operation of the plurality of stop valves as a mechanism to interrupt an operation of the turbine system.

The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a fluid actuator system including a fluid actuator having a housing having an inner wall defining an interior cavity, a piston having a piston head configured for reciprocal movement within the interior cavity, the piston head contacting the inner wall and dividing the interior cavity into a first fluid chamber and a second fluid chamber, a first valve configured to control fluid flow between the first fluid chamber and a bypass conduit, and a second valve configured to control fluid flow between the bypass conduit and the second fluid chamber.

An emergency shut-off device shuts off supply of control oil to a trip-and-throttle valve of a steam turbine and closes the trip-and-throttle valve in an emergency. The emergency shut-off device includes: a cylinder; a piston that slides into the cylinder; a spring that applies a biasing force to the piston; a plurality of piston valves disposed on the piston; and a plurality of chambers that are formed by the piston valves. The control oil is supplied to and drained from the plurality of chambers, and a sliding surface of each of the piston valves has a groove to leak the control oil in a corresponding one of the chambers to another one of the chambers that is adjacent to the corresponding chamber in an axis direction.

A hydraulic drive for executing a linear movement includes a motor, a pump, a lifting cylinder having the one linearly movable piston and a cylinder housing with at least one first connection and at least one second connection, a spring arranged such that the piston can be extended or retracted when the spring is in the relaxed state, and at least one first valve with which the first connection and the second connection of the cylinder housing can be fluidly connected. At least one second valve connected in parallel with the first valve is further provided, wherein the first valve has a maximum volumetric throughflow which is greater than the maximum volumetric through-flow of the second valve.

A hydraulic control device for an emergency stop valve of a steam turbine has a module for reducing a hydraulic pressure by rapid opening of an outflow valve and/or unloading or loading an actuator for actuating the emergency stop valve. In an operating medium supply and/or conducting system a control valve arrangement with at least three safety valves is provided, which are hydraulically interconnected such that they open the outflow valve or unload or load the actuator only when a safety circuit by way of at least two safety valves of the control valve arrangement has assumed an emergency stop position. A precontrol valve that is independent from the remaining safety valves is hydraulically connected upstream of each safety valve. A safety valve that is connected downstream of a respective precontrol valve can be hydraulically decoupled from the same during the operation.
