SST-500

Double exhaust flow steam turbine


The SST-500 is a single casing, double exhaust flow steam turbine, which can be used as an entire drive or as the lowpressure module of a multiple-casing turboset, directly driven or geared. This turbine, with its capacity to operate over a wide range of speed and power, is ideal for large steam  volume  flows.  Steam flows into the turbine via two tangential inlets to equalize thermal loading and blade stress.

 

Emergency stop valves and control valves are installed in the steam inlet pipes. The steam flows tangentially into the inner casing and then axially to both exhausts. The customized design of the steam path allows exact adjustment to surpass general physical limitations of the last stage blades. Double-end drive is available, if required, e.g. for booster pump drive.

Typical applications

Stand-by heating system

When it is a bit cold

One of our key service goals is to minimize system downtime and resulting productivity losses

 

Our stand-by heating system maintains the turbine at a high temperature during standstills and thereby greatly reduces the start-up time. Keeping the steam turbine generator units warm increases the remaining service time for the most important components, such as the turbine casing and the rotor.
