design features

Modular design concept

Ansaldo Energia steam turbines are based on a
modular concept to reduce technical risk and manufacturing time and ensure high reliability. Each
model is a combination of well-proven, pre-engineered modules of different sizes, to provide a broad
range of power ratings and applications. Several
different material options are available to meet different steam conditions up to the most advanced
ultra supercritical parameters (600C/620C).

Steam Turbine IP/LP rotor

Blading
Over the years of its technological history, Ansaldo Energia has designed both impulse and
reaction steam turbines. Today Ansaldo Energia
steam turbines are based on reaction technology,
while the impulse design is maintained in geothermal and small-size steam turbines.
All blades have 3D airfoil design to maximize stage efficiency, achieving 92% of efficiency in the
HP section and 94% in the IP section.
LP last stage blading
The development of longer last stage blades is
one of the most effective solutions to achieve a
compact and a highly efficient turbine design.
A family of modern last stage blades up to 48 is
available, with free standing or coupled solution,
to satisfy any cooling condition and back pressure requirements.

Separate HP and IP sections

Generally, Ansaldo Energia steam turbines for reheat applications have separate HP, IP and LP sections to deliver the highest possible sustained efficiency and good thermal flexibility.
For output up to 350 MW, a compact, combined,
single flow IP/LP solution is available, thanks also
to the use of the welding technique used for the
IP/LP rotor.
Shrink ring design
The HP inner casing of reheat turbines has a
shrink ring design that does not require any massive horizontal flange. The shrink rings hold the
two half inner casings together to form a symmetrical, light geometry with uniform mass distribution. They are assembled or removed by heating
them with annular gas burners.
The advantages of this solution are:
rapid start-up and shut-down and excellent
behavior during load changes
simple dismantling and reassembly during
maintenance

Steam Turbine with lateral exhaust

Axial and side exhaust arrangement

In addition to the traditional downward exhausts
for single and double flow configurations, low pressure modules are available for single flow axial
exhaust or double flow side exhaust to the condenser.
Axial and side exhaust modules, developed primarily for combined cycle applications, allow
installation of the turboset on low foundations,
minimising overall foundation costs and reducing
the overall height of the machine building.

Welded rotors
Ansaldo Energia uses the welding technique for
rotor manufacturing, in which the rotors are built
from forged disks and welded together using a
combination of tungsten inert gas and submerged arc processes in a dedicated rotor welding
shop.
This technique allows the use of different materials for HP, IP and IP/LP rotors, providing high
temperature resistance at the hot end and high
toughness at the cold end, and allowing large
LP rotors to be manufactured from smaller forgings.
Moreover welded rotors have better thermal flexibility, which is a significant advantage for startup, shut-down and load changes.

Product Line

Steam Turbines for Conventional Steam Cycles

Todays medium and large power generation steam turbines are mainly reheat type with regenerative
feed water cycle and possible district heating applications.
Ansaldo Energia offers three steam turbine models, specifically designed to satisfy all possible Client
requirements in terms of operating conditions, performance and reliability, including steam turbines
for ultra supercritical applications.

Steam Turbines for Combined Cycles

Steam turbines for reheat and non-reheat combined cycles must be easy to adapt to different gas
turbine configurations (number and models) and steam conditions delivered by various heat recovery
steam generators.
Ansaldo Energia offers four steam turbine models able to meet the full range of Client requirements
and all specific site conditions.

Cogeneration Steam Turbines

These turbines, either back pressure or condensing, with or without controlled extractions, are used
in industrial, desalination and district heating power plants.
As it is basically the process that dictates the steam parameters and therefore the turbine design,
each cogeneration steam turbine is a unique product, tailored to the specific needs of the Client.
