To all fro/1.0m, it may concern.

Be it known that I, HERMANN Joos, a citizen of the Swiss Republic, residing at Berlin, Germany, have invented certain new and .useful Improvements in Tapped Turbines, of which the following is spccitication. l

' This invention relates to elastic fluid turbines in which provision is made for 'drawing off a portion of the steam after it has passed one or more high pressure stages, and utilizing it forheating or other industriai purposes. It is customary to regulate the admission of steam to the turbine by a speed- 'responsive device in .accordance with the .variations in load.

My invention has for its object the additional regulation ot' the admissioirof such. steam in accordance. with the variations in the consumption of steam for heating.

The essential features of construction and imode of operation are hereinafter set fertbl and particularly pointed out in the appended claim y In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a somewhat diagrammatic representation 'of a tapped turbine embodying my invention, the important parts being shown in section, and Fig. Q is a section of the pilotvalve and sleeve for the throttle valve motor.

Through the casing l of the turbine runs the shaft 2, carrying the high pressure bucket wheel 3 and also low ,pressure wheels a, of which one-is shown. Steam is admitted to the high pressure stage through one or more nozzles 5,' and to the lowv pressuie stage through nozzles G. The high Dressure steam is conveyed to the machine byle main and its flow is controlled by a y,suitable regulator, such as a balanced throttle valve S, the aniountci" whose opening is regulated by a speed governor S) through lever 10 which operates the pilot valve 11 of a hydraulic motor whose piston 12 is connected to the stem of the throttle valve. The admision of steam from the high pressure stage chamber 13 to the low pressure nor/.- zles is controlled by a balanced overflow valve 14, whose stem is connected to the piston of a hydraulic motor 15 having a pilot valve 16 actuated by a movable abutment, preferably a Weighted piston 17.

The conduit 1S for leading oit the heating steam opens from the chamber 13, and a pipe 19 runs from said conduit to the mov- Specificaton of Le abie abutment l?, closiu'" of the oveiuow if pre.

A pipe 22 runs from this constriction, or throat., to the underside of a Weighted piston 23, whose upper side is subjected tothe stage pressure in the chamber 13 by means of a. pipe 21e The piston '123 is connecte by a .lever 25 with a slee e 26 inclosing the pilot valveft and con the mid-position of sai are ciosed, so that. ne iiui the Wider porte above and` bei steam consumed ir tl-e than tq tails.
