The inlet flows into the turbine by means of two tangential inlets to equalize thermal and blade stress. Emergency stop valves and control valves are installed in the steam inlet pipes. The steam flows tangentially into the inner casing and then axially to both exhausts. The customized design of the steam path allows exact adjustment to surpass general physical limitations of the last stage blades. Double end drive is available, if required, e.g. for booster pump drive.
Power output and typical optimized corresponding speed can vary between 10 MW at 15,000 rpm and 100 MW at 4,500 rpm. Both inner and outer casing are horizontally split for easy access. The guide blades are fastened in the inner casing or blade carriers to allow easy and rapid replacement.
