  • the outer and inner casing structures are normally divided into upper and lower halves enclosing a bladed rotor structure and a corresponding stationary blade structure.
  • the inner casing halves are fitted with the stationary blades.
  • the lower half of the inner casing is fitted into the lower outer casing half.
  • the rotor is placed in the lower halves of the casings and the upper half of the inner casing is inverted and secured to the lower half.

The outer member 56 and the inner rod member 58 can rotate relative to each other.
  • a keyway 59 On the radially inner end of the rod member 58 and integral therewith is a keyway 59 (FIGS. 4 and The key slot 54 corresponds in size to receive the keyway 59, although the slot is longer in an axial direction than the keyway for reasons which will be subsequently explained.
  • a pair of jackscrews 61 (FIGS. 2 and 4) is located on the lower half of the turbine outer casing 26b, one on each side of the vertical centerline, disposed radially inward therefrom.

  • the turbine section 16 is shown in a jacked-up position with the upper half of the outer casing 260 removed.
  • the inner casing 34 is comprised of a frustoconical portion 34a and a cylindrical portion 34b.
  • Projecting radially outward from the inner casing 34 is an annular shoulder 69 separating the frustoconical and cylindrical portions.
  • Projecting radially inward from the turbine casing 26 is an annular flange 71.
  • the right-hand surface of shoulder 69 and the left-hand surface of flange 71 abut each other in sealing relation as best seen in FIGS. 1 and 4.
  • four bushing structures 52 are shown supporting the inner casing 43, more or less can be used.
  • the lower outer casing half 26b is axially aligned with a taut wire or laser beam representing the axis of rotation of the rotor RR' (FIGS. 2 and 4).
  • the inner casing halves 34a and 3417 are fitted with stationary blades 36b.
  • the lower half of the inner casing 34b is then lowered into the lower half of the outer casing 26b and is supported on the jackscrews 61.
  • the upper half of the inner casing 34b is inserted so that it is then in a backed-off position meaning that the annular shoulder 69 and the annular flange 71 do not come into contact with each other.
  • the inner casing 34 can be moved vertically and horizontally to make it concentric with the axis of rotation R-R'.
  • the tubular outer member 56 of bushing structure 52 can turn, moving the keyway 59 either to the right or the left, as shown by the dash-dot lines.
  • the keyway 59 is kept aligned with the key slot 54 as the outer member 56 rotates around the rod member 58.
  • By moving the keyway 59 the axial position of the keyway is changed, requiring the key slot 54 to be axially longer. This provides the versatility needed to easily line up the inner casing 34, properly position it relative to the axis of rotation RR, and to support the inner casing.
  • the rod member 58 and tubular outer member 56 are securely fastened together by any suitable means such as by welding (not shown).
  • the bushing structures 52 are then secured to the outer casing 26 by any suitable means.

  • Raising the jack 73 causes a slight bowing in the upward direction causing small axial clearances indicated by letter C between peripheral flanges 43 in the upper half of the turbine casing 26a (the bottom half still being bolted).
  • the bowing will also cause a slight clearance space d between the flanges 69 and 71.
  • This clearance d protects the mating seal surfaces on flanges 69 and 70 from damage when the upper turbine casing 26a is either lifted off of the bottom half of casing 26b or when it is replaced.
