A main steam valve includes a cylindrical guide centered about an O-axis, a valve body disposed inside the guide so as to be slidable in the O-axis direction, a valve shaft on which the valve body moves in the O-axis direction between open and closed positions, and a casing having a flow path and a valve seat formed on an inner surface thereof. The flow path guides out a fluid guided into the casing from the inflow direction along the O-axis direction. The valve body abuts against the valve seat when the valve body is in the closed position. A valve chamber, formed in the casing, has a baffle plate provided in a region between an outer circumferential surface of the guide and an inner surface of the casing. The baffle plate interrupts swirling vortex flow with spiral vortex core extending in the circumferential direction of the O-axis of the guide.

An object is to provide an engine system including an intake bypass device whereby it is possible to expand the operation range of a compressor without causing the output of a turbine to become insufficient. An engine system includes an intake bypass device including a bypass channel connecting a downstream side of a compressor of a turbocharger in an intake channel and an upstream side of a turbine of the turbocharger in an exhaust channel, a bypass valve disposed in the bypass channel and configured to control a flow of compressed intake air in the bypass channel, and a heating unit for heating the compressed intake air flowing through the bypass channel.

A cooled gas turbine engine component includes a wall having a plurality of effusion cooling apertures extending there-through from a first surface to a second surface. Each aperture has an inlet in the first surface and an outlet in the second surface. Each aperture includes an inlet portion, a collection chamber, a metering portion, a U-shaped bend portion and a diffusing portion arranged in flow series from the inlet to the outlet. The inlet portion of each aperture is arranged substantially perpendicularly to a surface of the collection chamber. The metering portion of each aperture is arranged to extend longitudinally from a first lateral side of the collection chamber and the diffusing portion of each aperture is arranged at an angle to the second surface. Each outlet has a quadrilateral shape in the second surface of the wall and each outlet is displaced laterally from the metering portion.

An aeroplane turbojet low-pressure compressor vane includes a leading edge, a trailing edge, a surface, and an extrados surface which extend from the leading edge to the trailing edge. To combat the presence and the formation of ice, the vane is provided with an electric de-icing device with a thermistor. The thermistor forms a heating electrical track suitable for de-icing the vane. The present application also proposes a method for producing a turbine engine vane.

A compressor with negative coefficient of thermal expansion case material comprising a rotor having blades with tips, the case including an inner case comprising a negative coefficient of thermal expansion material, and a tip clearance located between the tips and the inner case; wherein the tip clearance is maintained responsive to a flow of air over the negative coefficient of thermal expansion material.

Provided are a main steam piping connecting a steam generator and a steam turbine, a bypass piping branched from the main steam piping and bypassing the steam turbine, a bypass valve provided in the bypass piping, a warming piping branched from the bypass valve, a warming valve provided in the warming piping, and a control system. The control system controls the warming valve in such a manner that bypass valve temperature t is brought to within a temperature range satisfying the three conditions: (1) being equal to or higher than the saturated temperature of steam flowing into the bypass valve; (2) having a temperature difference from the flowing-in steam of equal to or less than an allowable value; and (3) being equal to or lower than a temperature at which the formation rate of steam oxidation scale rises.
