lo wl whom it may concern:
Turbines, of whichv the following is a description.
My present invention relates to means for reducing` the leakage at the clearances of elastic-Huid turbines, and particularly in that class of turbines disclosed by my Patent No. 566,968, dated September l, 1896, wherein the velocity of the elastic fluid is fractionally abstracted by directing it two or more times suc cessively against moving buckets. In turbines of this character the pressure is not entirely converted into velocity by the expansion-nozzle; but some pressure above thatof the exhaust is retained in the elastic fiuid at the point of delivery by the nozzle to the first set ofrevolving buckets and Ialso to a less extent at subsequent clearances, resulting in Leakage of the elastic fiuid is obviously reduced by making the clearances between the moving and stationary elements of the turbine as small as possible. 'In practice, however, and especially in turbines of large diameter, it is found impossible to make the revolving parts run perfectly true on their side facesor, if constructed to run true, to remain true during use, and it is also desirable and practically essential that more or less end play of the shaft carrying the revolving buckets should be permitted. Hence in operation the revolving parts of the turbine necessarily have more or less lateral movement toward and away from the stationary.
parts, increasing and decreasing the width of the clearances and permitting a serious leakage of the elastic fluid thereat.
The object of my present invention is to provide means whereby this leakage may be very materially reduced.
1t is a fact that the cylindricalfsurf'aces of` the revolving parts of an elastic-fluid turbine, between which the revolving buckets are located, when once made true will remain approximately true in use, and this is so independently of the end play of the shaft. I utilize this fact by constructihg the turbine so that the meeting sides of the stationary I and revolving elements of the turbine shall overlap each other on lines concentric with the axis of rotation, whereby the clearances will be trapsferred from the side faces of the parts to the cylindrical surfaces. Owing to the high velocity of' the revolving parts in turbines of this character, it is not practicable to use ordinary forms of packing between the moving and stationary surfaces. In oider to reduce the width of the clearances, which are transferred from the side faces to the cylindrical surfaces, as already stated, and to provide means of adjustment, :o as to secure at all times the minimum separation,
I provide ring-segments orlips, which are attached to the nozzle, and preferably, also, to the other stationary elements, and which overlap the cylindrical surfaces of the rotating elements throughout so much of thecircumference as is necessary to cover the bucketsin the line of the fiow of the elastic fluid. These lips are set in such close proximity to the moving cylindrical surfaces that the virtual clearances are thereby reduced to a minimum. The lips may be made adjustable with respect to the revolvingcylindrical surfaces, with which they cooperate, so as to secure the necessary preliminary accuracy of fit and so as to take up any subsequent wear 'and also to provide for the readjustment of the lips when the position of the axis of rotation of the moving elements is changed from 'any cause-as, for instance, by the wear or re-` lining of the bearings. I have also found it desirable to make these lips of brass or some metal softer than the steel of which the rotating cylindrical surfaces are constructed, so that if desired the lips maybe adjusted into actual contact with the cylindrical surfaces and will quickly wear clearv of contact With-v out cutting the eylind rical surfaces.
In the. drawings, Figure I is a vertical section through the nozzle and the moving and stationary buckets of a turbine of. the type referred to equipped with my present improvement in one of lts forms and showing the employment of three sets of rotating buckets and two sets of intermediate stationary buckets.' Fig. 2 is a section on a larger scale, showing the construction for reducing the clearances between the end of the nozzle and the first set of revolving buckets; and Fig. 3

1 represents the shell ofan elastic-Huid turbine.
2 is an expansion-nozzle of any suitable type for converting the pressure of the elastic Huid into velocity and for directing the fluid against the first set of revolving' buckets. The nozzle illustrated is the sectional nozzle described in my application, Serial No. 666,379, filed January 12, 1898.
3 3 3 are the revolving buckets, all carried on disks or wheels a. supported on the shaft..
The vane-passages formed by the buckets 3 are closed on their inner side by the rims of the disksor wheels, and on their outer side by covers c. The diameter of the shell 14 is greater than that of the revolving disks or wheels and the buckets carried by them, leaving a chamber d between the bucket-covers c and the curved wall of the shell. The function of this chamber is to avoid the necessity for finishing the inner curved surfaces of the shell, and it also serves to avoid any waterbrake action between the bucket-covers and the shell, which might occur if these surfaces were brought close together.
4 4 are the intermediate stationary buckets, carried on blocks e, as shown, formed integral with or attached tothe cylindrical portion of the shell and projecting inwardly therefrom into thechambcr of. 5 represents the exhaust-opening. A chamberf is also formed between `the covers g of the stationary buckets and the shaft.
6 6 are the ring-segments or lips for transferring the clearances from the side faces to thecylindrical surfaces of the rotating elements. They are strips having any suitable form in cross-section and having a length suilcient to cover the buckets in the line of flow of the elastic fluid. They also have the proper curvature to lit the cylindrical surfaces of the moving elements, between which cylindrical surfaces the revolving buckets are located. The lips are preferably made of brass or some other metal softer than steel. The lips may be secured in place by means of bolts or screws 7, which pass through slots 8 in the lips, so that such lips can be adjusted toward and away from the cylindrical surfaces. Means may also be provided for adjusting the lips during the running of the turbine. This is particularly desirable with regard to the lips, which are located at the clearances between the nozzle and the first set of revolving buckets. For'this purpose cams 9,
bearing against the lips and carried by shafts 10, projecting through the liange of the nozzle yto the outer side of the turbine, maybe used. To adjust the lips while the turbine is in operation, the screws T will be slightly loosened and the cams 9 turned so as to force the lips against or close to the revolving cyi l n l be turned as true as possible after the wheels are finished. After the shafthas been properly mounted in the shell the lips will be adjusted close lto or into light contact with the adjacent rotating cylindrical surfaces and will then be secured tightly in position by the screws or bolts 7. When the turbine is started, if the' lips are thenftouching the wheels will at once wear themselves clear, so that the clearance will then be a minimum and the leakage will be as small as possible.
It will be observed that one set of the ringsegments or overlappingcurved projections 6l is 'located in the ehamberdbetween the wheels andthe curved wall of the shell, reducing the leakage into this chamber from the clearances between the rotating and stationary elements, while the other set of these ring-segments or overlapping curved projections is located on the inner side of the clearances ybetween the rotating and stationary elements-vi. e., between these elements and the shaft of the turbineHred ucing the leakage from these clearances into the centralspaces f around the shaft.
