Abstract

Measures aimed at making steam turbines more economically efficient, reliable, and suitable for repair, and at increasing their available power output through reducing abrasive and drop impingement erosion of blades and improving the vacuum tightness, modernization, and monitoring of the labyrinth seals are proposed.
