Patent References 2643078 3808819 System for supporting the rotor in an axial exhaust turbine with an exhaust end bearing having isotropic stiffness and directly connected to a foundation Patent #: 5108258 InventorsAssigneeApplicationNo. 444964 filed on 11/22/1999US Classes:415/213.1Casing with mounting meansExaminersPrimary: Look, Edward K.Assistant: McAleenan, James M Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassF01D 025/26Foreign Application Priority Data1997-05-21 DEAbstractThe steam turbine has an exhaust steam housing and a turbine rotor mounted in an end bearing. The turbine installation is intended to have a high stability with respect to movements of the exhaust steam housing, with a particularly high rigidity of the end bearing. For this purpose, the end bearing is held by a support guided through the exhaust steam housing and supported on a foundation block. In a steam turbine installation having a steam turbine of this type, a condenser assigned to the steam turbine is detachably but rigidly connected to the exhaust steam housing. | |
