Abstract

Bei Dampfturbinen bilden sich durch die Kondensation in der Dampfströmung Primärtropfen von Wasser, die sich teilweise an den Leitschaufeln ablagern. Weiterhin entstehen an und hinter den Leitschaufeln Sekundärtropfen, die ein erheblich größeres Volumen als die Primärtropfen haben. Gemäß der Erfindung wird durch elektrische Felder an den Leitschaufeln die Größe der Sekundärtropfen beim Tropfenabriss an der Hinterkante der Leitschaufeln zumindest reduziert, wobei aufgrund der elektrostatischen Kräfte es zu einem vorzeitigen Abriss der Wassertropfen und damit zu einer reduzierten Sekundärtropfengröße kommt. Bei der zugehörigen Dampfturbine, die Leitschaufeln einerseits und nachfolgende Laufschaufel andererseits aufweist, werden durch die Turbinenschaufeln Elektroden gebildet, indem Lauf- und Leitschaufeln auf unterschiedliches elektrisches Potential legbar sind.
