Abstract

A steam turbine facility suppresses the possibility of vibration from occurring and prevents a drastic increase in facility cost, thereby realizing an increase in size of the facility, even if steam conditions of 650° C. or higher are adopted. In the steam turbine facility including a high-pressure turbine, an intermediate-pressure turbine, and a low-pressure turbine, the intermediate-pressure turbine is separated into a first intermediate-pressure turbine on a high-temperature and high-pressure side and a second intermediate-pressure turbine on a low-temperature and low-temperature side. At least any one of the rotors and casings of the steam-introduction-side turbines into which steam with a temperature of 650° C. or higher is introduced is formed from Ni-based alloy, and at least any one of the overall rotors and the overall casings of the turbines are constructed by joining together a plurality of rotor members or casing members by welding.

Claims (13)

1. A steam turbine facility comprising a high-pressure turbine, an intermediate-pressure turbine, and a low-pressure turbine,

wherein the intermediate-pressure turbine is separated into a first intermediate-pressure turbine on a high-temperature and high-pressure side and a second intermediate-pressure turbine on a low-temperature and low-pressure side,

wherein the high-pressure turbine, the second intermediate-pressure turbine, and the low-pressure turbine are integrated to form an integrated structure having a casing and a rotor in common,

wherein the integrated structure and the first intermediate-pressure turbine are connected together on a same axis or are arranged on different axes from each other,

wherein at least any one of rotors and casings of steam-introduction-side turbines into which steam with a temperature of 650° C. or higher is introduced is formed from Ni-based alloy, and

wherein at least any one of overall rotors and overall casings of turbines are constructed by joining together a plurality of rotor members or casing members by welding.

2. The steam turbine facility according to claim 1 ,

wherein the integrated structure and the first intermediate-pressure turbine are connected together on the same axis, and

wherein at least any one of a rotor and a casing of the first intermediate-pressure turbine on a steam introduction side into which steam with a temperature of 650° C. or higher is introduced or at least any one of rotors and casings of the first intermediate-pressure turbine and the high-pressure turbine on a steam introduction side into which steam with a temperature of 650° C. or higher is introduced is formed from Ni-based alloy.

3. The steam turbine facility according to claim 1 ,

wherein steam with a temperature of 650° C. or higher is introduced into the first intermediate-pressure turbine,

wherein the integrated structure and the first intermediate-pressure turbine are arranged on the different axes from each other, and

wherein the first intermediate-pressure turbine is arranged at a position closer to a boiler than the integrated structure, the boiler superheating steam introduced into the high-pressure turbine and the intermediate-pressure turbine.
