Abstract

Provided are a turbine rotor fixing device capable of easily fixing a turbine rotor in a radial direction and an axial direction, and a shipping method of a turbine module. A fixing device ( 30 ) of a turbine rotor ( 11 ) includes a radial direction fixing jig ( 32 ) provided in a gland part ( 21 A) that seals a clearance between the turbine rotor ( 11 ) and a turbine casing disposed to cover a periphery of the turbine rotor ( 11 ), to fix relative movement of the turbine rotor ( 11 ) to the gland part ( 21 A) in a radial direction, and an axial direction fixing jig ( 31 ) provided between the turbine rotor ( 11 ) and the gland part ( 21 A), to fix relative movement of the turbine rotor ( 11 ) to the gland part ( 21 A) in an axis (X) direction.

Claims (17)

1. A turbine rotor fixing device comprising:

a radial direction fixing jig provided in a gland part that seals a clearance between a turbine rotor and a turbine casing disposed to cover a periphery of the turbine rotor, to fix relative movement of the turbine rotor to the gland part in a radial direction, and

an axial direction fixing jig provided between the turbine rotor and the gland part, to fix relative movement of the turbine rotor to the gland part in an axial direction,

wherein an inner peripheral surface of the gland part is provided with one seal ring groove which is formed in the axial direction and into which the radial direction fixing jig is incorporated, and an other seal ring groove into which the axial direction fixing jig is incorporated.

2. The turbine rotor fixing device according to claim 1 , wherein the axial direction fixing jig is located on a side of a rotor end of the turbine rotor outside the turbine casing away from the radial direction fixing jig, and

the axial direction fixing jig is provided with a cutout in a measuring position of a clearance between the turbine rotor and the gland part so that the clearance is visible from the rotor end side of an end face of the turbine rotor away from the axial direction fixing jig.

3. The turbine rotor fixing device according to claim 2 , wherein one end of a measuring jig is inserted into the cutout and is attachable to the gland part on the rotor end side of the turbine rotor in the gland part, and

the measuring jig is configured to measure a clearance between the end face of the turbine rotor on the rotor end side and the gland part in the axial direction.

4. A turbine module comprising:

a turbine rotor,

a turbine casing disposed to cover a periphery of the turbine rotor, and

the turbine rotor fixing device according to claim 1 to fix the relative movement of the turbine rotor to the turbine casing.

5. A shipping method of a turbine module by use of a turbine rotor fixing device comprising a radial direction fixing jig provided in a gland part that seals a clearance between a turbine rotor and a turbine casing disposed to cover a periphery of the turbine rotor, to fix relative movement of the turbine rotor to the gland part in a radial direction, and an axial direction fixing jig provided between the turbine rotor and the gland part, to fix relative movement of the turbine rotor to the gland part in an axial direction, the shipping method of the turbine module comprising:

a radial direction fixing step of fixing, with the radial direction fixing jig, the relative movement of the turbine rotor to the gland part in the radial direction,

an axial direction fixing step of fixing, with the axial direction fixing jig, the relative movement of the turbine rotor to the gland part in the axial direction, and

a shipping step of shipping the turbine module comprising the turbine rotor fixing device, the turbine rotor fixed by the turbine rotor fixing device, and the turbine casing,

wherein an inner peripheral surface of the gland part is provided with one seal ring groove which is formed in the axial direction and into which the radial direction fixing jig is incorporated, and an other seal ring groove into which the axial direction fixing jig is incorporated.
