1. General Characteristics
The document describes in principal the DST-G20 condensing steam turbine and accessories.

Note: All pictures in following chapters are illustrative only and are subject to change as per last
technical development.

DST-G20 Intermediate pressure turbine model

1.1 Description of the Turbine

1.1.1 Turbine Casings

The steam turbine is of a single casing, high speed running with connection to the generator through
a gearbox. There is used an axial exhausting to a water. Turbine casings are divided by a horizontal
plane into the upper and lower halves. The turbine inlet section is of double shell design. Stud bolts
made from temperature resistant alloy steel are used to locate and secure the two halves. The front
high pressure section of the outer casing and the inner casing are made of cast steel, whilst the rear

 SECTION B – Technical Part

N051335

exhaust casing is fabricated of steel plates. The connection of the front and rear casings is provided
by bolting to a vertical flange. The exhaust branch has a circular form.

The front section of the turbine casing is mounted over lugs in the horizontal plane on the front
bearing pedestal. Mounting in the horizontal plane ensures that any expansion due to thermal
effects has a neutral effect and the rotor and stator alignment in the hot and cold conditions remain
the same. The rear exhaust casing is mounted to the base frame by welded brackets located on both
sides of the casing.

The exhaust space is equipped with a spray cooling system. Spray cooling is used when the quantity
of steam passing through the rear section is low and the associated ventilation losses of the blades
increase the temperature (typically during low load or no load operation).

1.1.2 Turbine Rotor and Blades

The turbine rotor is machined from a solid forging. The rotor is coupled to the high-speed shaft of the
gearbox by means of a torsion shaft and the low-speed shaft of the gearbox is coupled to the
generator rotor by a rigid coupling. The couplings are also designed to withstand short circuit and
torsional critical speed conditions.

The turbine rotor is fitted with advanced blading with cylindrical or 3D profiles. The rotating blades
are mounted to the rotor by "T" non-clamped, "T" clamped roots or fork type pinned roots. The
rotating blades of the last stage are mounted by fir tree type root. The rotating blades are provided
with shrouds. These shrouds bind the blades to increase the dynamic stiffness, but they are also used
for forming the peripheral sealing of the rotating blades.

The rotating blades of several last stages are with shrouds.

1.1.3 Nozzles and Diaphragms

A nozzle control system is used. Nozzle chambers are formed in the inserted nozzle chamber. The
nozzle segments are fixed to the steam chest.

Guide blades are situated in guide blade carriers in the outer casing.

The diaphragms of the last two stages are made of steel and the nozzle cascades are fixed by means
of pins or welded in the diaphragms discs and rims.

The guide blade carriers and diaphragms are divided in the horizontal axis to form upper and lower
halves. They are centre-line supported, to maintain precise inter-stage sealing clearances.

The guide blade carriers form upper and

lower halves which are bolted together or
mounted separately in casings

1.1.4 Bearings
The turbine rotor is carried on two tilting pads journal bearings which are horizontally split. The lining
of the sliding portion of the bearings is made from a tin based white metal.

The thrust bearing is combined with the front journal bearing, to manage the unbalanced thrust in
both directions, with pads tilting on the tilting edges. The thrust bearing is axially adjustable.

Inspection of the bearings is possible without removal of the rotor. Bearing temperatures are
measured by thermocouples located directly under the white metal lining of the bottom pads in the
journal bearings and in two diametrically opposed pads on active and inactive sides of the thrust
bearing.

The thrust bearing combined with one journal bearing is placed in the front bearing pedestal. The
rear bearing is in the rear bearing housing, which is welded to the exhaust duct structure.

Front bearing pedestal and rear bearing pedestal

1.1.5 Thermal Expansion

The fix point of the turbine stator section is in the brackets of the rear exhaust casing. The turbine
casing expands due to temperature expansion from the fix point. The front bearing pedestal is
connected directly to the turbine casing by a flexible "I" piece. The casing pushes the front bearing
pedestal with thrusts bearing forward. The flexible "I" piece enables a free expansion of the casing
from the parting plane downwards, whilst remaining very rigid in the transverse and axial directions.
During any axial movement the front bearing pedestal is maintained in the coaxial position with the
base frame to which it is keyed. The thrust bearing, which is placed in the front bearing pedestal, is
shifted forward by the casing thermal expansion, together with the bearing pedestal so the turbine
rotor follows the stator displacement. This design minimizes the relative axial displacement between
the rotor and the stator and avoids any problems with axial rotor/stator clearances during loading
and all other operational regimes of the turbine. Sliding of the pedestal is made easier by a plastic foil
inserted between the sliding surfaces, which considerably reduce the friction resistance.

1.1.6 Shaft Glands

All shaft glands are of an axial flow labyrinth type. The labyrinth rings are mounted in the seal
casings, which are adjusted in the turbine casing during assembly to ensure correct alignment of the
rotor and casing.

On the individual rings there are alternate higher and lower teeth that form a seal from true
labyrinths. In the seals of the LP turbine, the relative displacements are greater. Teeth of uniform
height are caulked in the rotor and seal casing, forming a look-through labyrinth.

1.2 Main Steam Valves

1.2.1 HP Main Stop Valve

There is one HP Main Stop Valve, which is placed in front of the control valves. There is a steam
strainer just in the chamber of this HP Main Stop Valve. The HP Main Stop Valve is driven by a
hydraulic actuator and the valve is closed by the force of the springs. The main stop valve is directly
attached to the control valves chamber by bolted flange.

Note: The steam strainer is installed to capture only the major (sizable) impurities. It does not relieve
the PURCHASER from its obligation to maintain mechanical steam purity as defined in clause 2.4

1.2.2 HP Control Valves

The live steam is passed from the HP Main Stop Valve into the control valves chamber. The valve
chamber containing four HP Control Valves is situated on the top of the front HP casing, and is an
integral part of the outer casing. Each control valve is controlled by an independent hydraulic
actuator.

HP Main Stop Valves and HP Control Valves

1.2.3 HP Control Oil System

HP control oil system is used for control of turbine main steam valves (stop valves, control valves
etc.).

HP control oil system consists of:

• HP hydraulic aggregate

• HP hydraulic actuators

• Control fluid

• Interconnecting pipe lines between aggregate and actuators

Note: For more info see chapter 5.6 Control and instrumentation.

1.2.4 Extraction Pressure Control – Control Valves

The pressure of the control extraction is governed by control relief valves. The lift of each control
relief valve is controlled by means of the hydraulic actuator. The valve spindles are sealed by special
graphite rings. The seats of the valves have hard overlays, which improve their reliability.

1.2.5 Extraction Pressure Control – Governing Diaphragm

The controlled extraction steam pressure is governed by a throttling diaphragm, in which the nozzle
area can be changed by shifting of inlet nozzle section. The governing diaphragm is controlled by
means of the hydraulic actuator through a leverage system.

1.3 Turbine Accessories

1.3.1 Gear Box

The gear box is inserted between the turbine and the generator and reduces the turbine speed to the
generator speed. The gear box is of single stage, double helical type design with horizontal offset
shafts. The gear box is supported on a separated supporting structure.

1.3.2 Turning Gear

Turning gear of steam turbines is used:

• after the turbo-generator shut-down, to ensure uniform cooling of the turbine rotors
• before the start-up of the Unit, before opening of the gland steam feeding valves

The turning gear is of the mechanical gear type, with an AC electric motor drive. It is attached to the
gear box casing and connected through a clutch to the gear box high speed shaft. The turning gear
operation is fully automatic.

Main parts of the turning gear are as follows:

• Electric motor
• Gear box
• Automatic clutch
• Components of oil system

The conditions necessary for turning gear operation are as follows:

• Supply of lubricating oil to bearings is open

• Supply of jacking oil to generator bearings

A manual turning of the rotors is ensured by means of a hand wheel. The auxiliary and jacking oil
pumps must be in operation during the manual barring.

Gearbox

1.3.3 Gland Steam System

The gland steam system is designed so that no steam from the turbine glands escapes into the
machine room atmosphere. There are two important circuits in the gland steam system, which
ensure this function.

First circuit controls the steam pressure. It connects the front and rear turbine glands, and ensures
that the steam extracted from the HP glands is feeding the LP vacuum glands. The rest of the steam
is passed back to the steam flow path and increases the turbine efficiency. Two gland steam valves
achieve the pressure control. One valve delivers steam into the circuit during start-up of the turbine.
The other valve relieves excess steam, typically when the quantity of steam extracted from the HP
glands is higher than the quantity of steam fed into the LP vacuum glands. This condition occurs
during operational modes when there is a higher inlet steam flow. Steam delivered into the gland
steam circuit during start-up or shut down is taken from a steam header.

Second gland steam system is the vent steam circuit. The piping of this circuit connects the front and
rear turbine outer glands. The pressure in the vent steam circuit is slightly under atmospheric
pressure (approximately 0.98 bar). This means that steam and some amount of air (vent steam) are
extracted from the last gland section. The slight vacuum pressure in this system is provided by a vent
steam fan. Vent steam that enters the vent steam condenser (VSC – cooled by main condensate) is

N051335

condensed, and the non-condensable gas (air) is blown out by the motor driven fan to atmosphere.
In case of VSC failure vent steam is blown out directly by vent steam fan.

The pressure section of the front HP gland upstream mentioned two steam circuits, reduces the
gland steam losses by introducing the extracted gland steam back into the working flow (in an
applicable extraction or an appropriate point on turbine or LP steam inlet).

Gland steam – principle arrangement

1.3.4 Turbine Drain System

To avoid thermal stress and any distortion of the turbine casing and deformation of the turbine
rotors which may result in mechanical damage of the turbine, the condensate arising due to
condensing steam during warming-up of the turbine and any moisture from saturated steam, will be
discharged via drain valves into the collectors, the collecting vessels and the condenser or a drain
tank.

The drain system of turbine has been designed with pneumatically driven valves and with steam
traps (bimetallic or float type) in the parallel lines. Drain valves are controlled by turbine control
system and open during cold start up or according operator´s requirements. Drain valves and steam
traps are located as close as possible to drain header connected to the flash tank. Steam traps ensure
draining in case if drain valves are closed.

The drain pipes are routed into separate drain sections which consist of separators of impurities, pipe
lines with pneumatically operated drain valves and parallel arranged pipe lines with isolating valves
and steam traps. Drains with similar parameters are collected in headers obviously welded to the

flash tank and connected to condenser. Low pressure and high pressure drains have the same
arrangement.

Steam traps are used in the drain systems of all SUPPLIER´S turbines. These devices are proven to
maintain a high level of performance and reliability.

Turbine drains – principal arrangement

1.3.5 Lubricating Oil System

The lubricating oil system of the turbo-generator is designed for lubrication and cooling of bearings
of the turbine, gear box and generator. The system is independent on the HP control oil system. The
system must ensure safe supply of lubricating oil in all operating modes. In operation, the system
ensures oil pressure 150 – 180 kPa(g) at the inlet to the bearing pedestals and gear box. Turbo-
generator oil system is designed to operate with mineral turbine oil ISO VG46.

Main Oil Pump is designed to ensure the delivery of necessary oil flow for lubrication and cooling of
bearings during operation of the turbo-generator. The pump is of screw type and is installed on the
low speed shaft of gearbox. The pump has sufficient capability to suck oil from the Main Oil Tank
installed below the axis of TG.

Start-up Oil Pump ensures the supply of lubricating oil during barring, start-up, normal and
emergency shutdown of the turbo- generator. The pump fills the suction and discharge lines with oil
and prepares system for operating of turbo-generator. The pump is started automatically from the
control system. The pump is of centrifugal type in a vertical design. It is installed in arrangement of
1x100 % on cover of Main Oil Tank and submerged in oil. It is driven by an electric motor (AC).

Emergency Oil Pump ensures a safe supply of lubricating oil in emergency shutdown of the turbo-
generator, in case of loss of AC power source, Start-up Oil Pump failures, loss of lubricating oil
pressure for other reasons (e.g. oil leakage caused by the pipe failure, etc.). The pump is started in
case of emergency shutdown of the turbine generator automatically through the control system. In
case of malfunction of the control system it is started directly by the binary switch sensor of low

Revision 1
 SECTION B – Technical Part
5.1 Steam Turbine and Accessories

N051335

pressure. For safety reasons, the oil from the pump to the bearing is routed directly bypassing
coolers, filter, pressure valve and temperature control valves. The pump is of centrifugal type in a
vertical design. It is installed in arrangement of 1x100 % (of emergency oil flow) on cover of Main Oil
Tank and submerged in oil. The pump is driven by an electric motor (DC).

Oil coolers are used for removing of the heat dissipated from bearings to lubrication system and for
ensuring of the required temperature of the lubricating oil at the inlet to the turbo-generator
bearings. Coolers are installed in the arrangement of 2 x 100%. Coolers are cooled by water (or
water/glycol) from the closed/open cooling circuit. Coolers are of tube heat exchanger type. In the
event of reduction of cooling power due to fouling cooler can be disconnected during operation of
the turbo-generator (stand by cooler is started). Cooler can be cleaned after draining of the oil and
water.

The required temperature of lubricating oil at the inlet to the turbo-generator bearings is achieved
by mixing of cooled and uncooled oil in Thermostatic Control Valve. The valve operates
automatically on the principle of expansion of the wax filling in the control elements of the valve.
Elements open or close each inlet of oil into the valve depending on the oil temperature at the
outlet. It is possible to use the emergency control to close inlet of warm oil into valve and open only
inlet with cooled oil from coolers.

Lubricating Oil Filter is intended to protect the bearings from damage by impurities. The filter is
installed in arrangement of 2 x 100% (duplex). In case of fouling filter elements in one chamber of the
filter two-stage three-way valve directs the flow of oil into the second chamber with clean filter
elements. The dirty elements can be changed. The chambers are connected by piping for pressure
equalization, which ensures the bumpless redirection of oil flow. The filter is equipped with optical
and electrical signaling of fouling, which enables local visual inspection and remote transmission
(contacts 75 and 100%).

Pressure Relief Valve is designed to control automatically the lubricating oil pressure to the adjusted
value 150 - 180 kPa (g) measured before entering the bearing pedestals. The valve actuator is of
membrane type without auxiliary power. When pressure in the system is increased valve opens and
increases the pressure loss and valve discharges excessive amounts of oil into the Main Oil Tank. The
failure of the actuator results in the automatic valve closing.

Oil Vapor Exhaustion Device is intended for sucking of oil and water vapor from the Main Oil Tank,
pipe of return oil and space of bearing pedestals. Vacuum in the bearing pedestals reduces oil leaks
around the rotor, supports continuous outflow of oil from the pedestals and removes water from the
system. The device is installed in arrangement of 2x100 % on cover of Main Oil Tank. The fan is
driven by an electric motor (AC).

Main Oil Tank is intended for degassing, sludging and dewatering of lube oil. Tank is of single - wall
design. The tank is reinforced for the possibility of installation and operation the equipment on
cover. Entry to the tank is designed to avoid excessive foaming of oil in tank. Oil flows through

removable strainers. The tank is equipped with level indicators to measure the maximum oil level
upwards the strainers, oil level during operation and minimum oil level downwards the strainers.

Jacking Oil Pump(s) is intended to supply oil for the lifting of the generator rotor in the bearing
shells. It ensures reduced friction when starting the turbine generator, easy to start turning gear and
bearing protection at start-up and run-down of generator. The pump is of volumetric type. It is
installed together with the generator. The pump is driven by an electric motor (AC).

To start-up the turbine generator for normal operation, the operating oil temperature must be at
least 35°C. Achieving the correct temperature is ensured by install of oil heating. Oil is heated by
electric heating elements installed in the Main Oil Tank.

2. Operational Properties
The turbine design insures a high level of operational flexibility. The unit may be connected to the
grid with frequency or load control.

2.1 Operation with Abnormal Mains Conditions

2.1.1 Operation with Abnormal Electrical Grid Conditions

DST steam turbine generator set fulfills requirements of contractual grid code.

2.1.2 Turbine Starting Modes and the Lifetime of the Turbine

The turbine components in direct contact with live steam are exposed to temperature changes
during the transient operational conditions including start-up, load changes and shut-down of the
turbine. The temperature of these components is therefore subject to some variation. These periodic
changes cause additional cyclic stresses, and depending on the level and frequency of occurrence
may substantially influence the service life of individual turbine components.

Through thermal fatigue calculations, it can be determined that the maximum allowable additional
stress typically occurs during the start-up. These thermal stresses become very important in
determining the limits for the duration of turbine start-up.

The calculation of the temperature distribution and thermal stress in rotors and casings indicated
that, the component in the Doosan Skoda design with the highest stress is the rotor in the section of
the inner gland. The thermal fatigue calculation for this point therefore determines the rate of
turbine start-up.

In spite of the elevated stress encountered during start-up, none of the exposed turbine components
exceed their allowable stress limit. The service life of the critical point component is characterized by
the number of temperature cycles for the initiation of cracking in relation to the elevated stress level.

2.1.3 Service life, expected number of start-ups

The startup times calculation considers the 25 years’ service life of the unit. The following numbers
of start-ups are considered during the turbine lifetime:

Initial metal temperature. 1)

Cycle (% of metal temperature at nominal Number of cycles (starts) 2)
conditions)
cold start tR < 40 % 100
warm start tR = 40 ÷ 80 % 500
hot start tR > 80 % 1250

Note:

1) Initial metal temperature – mean integral temperature of the rotor before turbine start-up –
typical values.

2) Number of starts mentioned above is for information only and it can be modified based on
PURCHASER requirements for the start-up times and load cycling.

3) Permanent feeding of steam turbine glands must be provided in case of one or two-shift operation
and weekend shut downs.

2.2 Critical Speed

Lateral critical speeds are calculated for the complete turbo-generator shaft train. The critical speed
calculation takes into account the bearing supports and the oil film characteristics. Within the range
of operating speeds in power production, the modal sensitivity of the shaft line shall be in the modal
sensitivity range of A (very low modal sensitivity) defined for the type II machines when judged
according to ISO 21940-31.

Each steam turbine rotor is balanced and evaluated according to ISO 11342 methodology
respectively to comply to ISO 7919 and ISO 10816 standards. The over speed test at 120% rated
speed takes 2 minutes and could be done once per lifetime of the steam turbine rotor and it is
always conducted in the SUPPLIER´S facility..
