Modular design concept

Ansaldo Energia steam turbines are based on a Steam Turbine IP/LP rotor
modular concept to reduce technical risk and ma-
nufacturing time and ensure high reliability. Each

thermal and small-size steam turbines.
All blades have 3D airfoil design to maximize sta-
ge 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 pressu-
re requirements.

Separate HP and IP sections
Generally, Ansaldo Energia steam turbines for rehe-
at applications have separate HP, IP and LP sec-
tions to deliver the highest possible sustained effi-
ciency 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 mas-
sive horizontal flange. The shrink rings hold the
two half inner casings together to form a symme-
trical, light geometry with uniform mass distribu-
tion. 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 Axial and side exhaust modules, developed pri-
maintenance

In addition to the traditional downward exhausts
for single and double flow configurations, low pres-
sure modules are available for single flow axial
exhaust or double flow side exhaust to the con-
denser.
marily 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 submer-
ged arc processes in a dedicated rotor welding
shop.
This technique allows the use of different ma-
terials 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 for-
gings.
Moreover welded rotors have better thermal fle-
xibility, which is a significant advantage for start-
up, shut-down and load changes.

 Product Line

Steam Turbines for Conventional Steam Cycles

Today’s 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.
