Definitions

  • This invention relates to elastic fluid turbines of the kind comprising parallel-flow co-axial a1-' ternatively oppositely rotatingturbines, the flow of elastic fluid taking place axially through each turbine toward the other turbine to enter a common exhaust chamber disposed between the turbines.
  • Figure l is a longitudinal sectional view of part of a steam turbine embodying the present invention in one form, and V Figure 2 is a developed plan thereof.
  • the steam leaving blades K is, in t the tangential plane, turned in the direction h with'a substantial component in the direction of astern rotation so that the portion represented by x which impingesupon the ahead rotor blades D will have a turning effect and actually increase the astern power over that developed in the normal astern blades.
  • the area through the final moving row of blades of the astern turbine is insuflicient to accommodate expansion down to the pressure in the exhaust chamber, and the steam consequently leaves these blades at a higher pressure, the further expansion to the exhaust pressure taking place in the exhaust chamber itself, after leaving the blades.
  • the blades K are so designed that the areas for steam flow through the blade passages are such that the passage of the steam through them does not cause any, or any substantial, increase in the pressure of the steam leaving blades C.
  • the object of the ducts P is to ventilate this space between the blades C and K when running ahead, the blades C acting as a centrifugal pump to draw a cooling stream of steam over the blades, which steam can escape into the exhaust belt through the ducts P.
  • An elastic fluid turbine of the kind comprising paralle1-flow co-axial alternatively oppositely rotating turbines, the fiow of elastic fluid taking place axially through each turbine towards the other turbine to enter a common exhaust chamber disposed between th turbines, said turbine having exhaust guiding blades between the common exhaust chamber and the last row of astern moving blades and including deflecting devices thereon having exhaust guiding surfaces to direct the astern exhaust steam with axial, radial and circumferential components against at least a portion of the last row of forward moving blades in a direction to give an additional turning efiect to the rotor in the astern direction.
  • An elastic fluid turbine of the kind comprising parallel-flow co-axial alternately oppositely rotating turbines, the flow of elastic fluid taking place axially through each turbine towards the other turbine to enter a common exhaust chamber disposed between the turbines, having a row of fixed blades immediately succeeding in the direction of flow the last row of astern moving blades and wherein the space separating the said row of fixed blades from the last row of moving blades on the astern turbine is furnished with ducts serving to ventilate the space when the ahead turbine is in operative rotation.
