Add to ORKGThe purpose of the diploma thesis is the design of condensing steam turbine for driving a compressor with mechanical power of 14,5 MW and operating speed 6800 rotations per minute on the compressor clutch. The main part is the thermodynamic calculation of the blade canal, which is verified with strength calculation to meet the requirements of the standart API 612. The next part is a basic design of gland sealing system, including a piston which is leveling the axial force with reusage of steam back to the blade canal. This thesis includes a calculation of axial and radial forces including the choice of suitable bearing, which both support the turbine. In the end there is an operating characteristics and function reliability of rising rotati...
