welded on the inlet casing. Also inspect the gradient in relation to the HP casing
upper flanges. (See turbine generator unit layout drawings).
10. If the dimensional differences arc minimal, any corrections to the adjustment of the
casing will be carried out when assembling the upper steam inlet piping.
11. Lightly relock the rod centering screws in the support pads, to allow the rod to slide
when assembling the servo-motors.
12. Cheek that the casing is stable on its 3 supports (prepare appropriate wedging).
13. Remove the slings.
1. Check the new spring compression values to calculate the bearing load on each
spring. Inspect the dimension between the upper and lower plates.
2. If necessary correct the spring extension with the adjustment device to obtain
correct adjustment of the casing. See tooling.
3. Unlock the stem centering screws in the support pads and tighten the
counter-nuts.
4. Mount the protective covers on the upper support pads.
- The Erection and Adjustment of the Left and Right Inlet Casing
1. The bushes are welded on the plates embedded in the foundation after the lower
and upper steam inlet pipes have been assembled. The allowances for expansion
and the final adjustment of suspensions are also taken into account.
2. Lock each rod and nut assembly used to adjust suspension with a plate which is
welded on each part.
