  Recent steam turbines are being considered to increase the temperature of steam as part of a review of strengthening plant thermal efficiency.

  Steam temperature increase is a property of the Rankine cycle, and it is said that the higher the steam temperature, the higher the plant thermal efficiency.

  For this reason, steam turbines are becoming nearly established from the relatively low temperature and low pressure steam conditions to single-stage reheating of steam temperatures of 538 ° C / 566 ° C or 538 ° C / 538 ° C.

  However, recently, as global warming and environmental destruction have been highlighted at the global level, research and development has been promoted in the steam turbine field to further reduce fuel consumption and increase the unit capacity. It has been proposed that the steam temperature be set to an ultra-high temperature of 700 ° C. or higher and this ultra-high temperature steam be supplied to the turbine.

In a steam turbine that handles a steam temperature of about 600 ° C., for example, as seen in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-350911 (Patent Document 1), the main steam inlet pipe has a double structure, and a space between the double structures is used.
