A nozzle is provided for increasing the velocity of a fluid flowing therethrough, such as steam or other working fluid. The nozzle generally includes a body portion with a conical helical passage formed through the body portion to define an unlet port and an outlet orifice. The passage diameter can decreases continuously from the inlet port to the outlet orifice. Further, the conical helical passage can be a right-handed helix. To aid in manufacture and repair, the body can be divided into quadrants, where each plane of division passes through the center axis of the body portion. The present nozzle can be, for example, inserted into a steam turbine nozzle box as s retrofit for increasing the velocity of the steam incident on the turbine blades to increase turbine efficiency.

The present disclosure relates to a feedforward structure for controlling water level, in particular to a feedforward structure for controlling a steam drum water level in a steam turbine FCB test and a control method therefor. The feedforward structure includes a steam drum provided with a steam drum water level measurement sensor therein, a feed water pipe provided with a feed water flow measurement sensor therein, and a steam inlet pipe provided with a steam flow measurement sensor therein. A steam drum water level measurement value I in the steam drum water level measurement sensor is compared with a set value of the steam drum water level.

An exhaust hood (Ec) of the present invention is provided with an inner casing (21), an outer casing (30), and a diffuser (26). The inner casing (21) surrounds a rotor from the outside in a radial direction, and forms a first space (21s) in which a fluid flows in an axial direction (Da) between the rotor and the inner casing (21). The diffuser (26) is provided with a bearing cone (29) that has a diameter that gradually widens moving towards an axial downstream side (Dad) and forms a cylindrical shape extending to the axial downstream side (Dad) to be continuous with the outer circumferential surface of a rotor shaft that forms the first space (21s). An end edge (29a) on the axial downstream side (Dad) of the bearing cone (29) forms an oval shape in which, in a direction orthogonal to an axial line (Ar), a distance (R2an) between the axial line (Ar) and a second cone end part (29ab) of a second side (Dan) is greater than a distance (R2ex) between the axial line (Ar) and a first cone end part (29aa) of a first side (Dex).

A moving blade 21d is disposed in a last stage closest to a diffuser 10 among a plurality of stages of a turbine 9 including a turbine rotor 12 and a stationary body 14. The diffuser 10 is connected to an outlet side of the stationary body 14. A distal end of the moving blade 21d is opposed to a seal fin 38 provided in the stationary body 14. The moving blade 21d includes a blade section 26, a cover 27 and a guide 32 provided on a moving blade distal end face 31, which is a surface of the cover 27. The moving blade distal end face 31 extends in a rotation axis direction of the turbine rotor 12, and the guide 32 includes a guide surface 41 located on a side close to the diffuser 10 with respect to the seal fin 38 and formed to incline upward in a direction from the seal fin 38 toward the diffuser 10.

A combination valve for a steam circuit, includes a quick-closing valve and a regulating valve. The quick-closing valve and the regulating valve are arranged in a common housing. The regulating valve is displaceable by an active drive and the quick-closing valve is passively displaceable by the steam.

This steam turbine comprises: a rotating shaft that extends along an axis; a plurality of rotor blades that are arranged in the circumferential direction and that extend in a radial direction from the outer circumferential surface of the rotating shaft; a casing body that covers the rotating shaft and the rotor blades from the outer circumference side; and a plurality of stationary blades that extend in the radial direction from a position on the inner circumferential surface of the casing body on the upstream side of the rotor blades and that are arranged in the circumferential direction.
