Granted: 1911-06-08
Abstract: 8980. Akt.-Ges. Brown, Boveri, et Cie. June 20, 1910, [Convention date]. Regulating.-Turbines comprising one or more impulse stages followed by reaction stages are provided with hand-controlled or automaticallyoperated valves by means of which, simultaneously with the closing of one or more of the nozzles admitting steam to the impulse section, one or more reaction stages of smaller crosssection for flow of steam than those in use are inserted between the impulse stage and the reaction stages already in use. Fig. 1 shows hand-operated valves i, g, h, which are closed in the order named as the valves controlling the nozzles to the impulse stage are closed. For high power, all the valves are opened, and the stage e is the only one of the reaction stages that is active. When the valve i is closed, the stage d becomes active, thus providing a smaller area of flow for the smaller quantity of steam supplied to the turbine.
