DOUBLE FLOW IP IN 660MW
– The decision for single or double-flow is primarily made on blading design and efficiency.
– Double-flow casing for IP turbine has the advantage of eliminating the rotor gland at the high pressure end.
– The Axial force balanced by two identical Turbine flows with opposite orientation on common axle (no thrust balance piston)can auto balance
the rotor.
– The high pressure Gland steam entering the Rotor for sealing can be avoided and the same quantity of Steam can be converted to work.
– For 660MW and above the following companies use double flow IP turbine configuration.
1.Siemens.
2.Doosan Skoda Power.
3.G.E Power.
4.Toshiba Power.

• For every 1Mpa(10 bar) improvement in main steam Pressure the Turbine heat rate could be
reduced by 0.13%-0.15%.
• For every 10% improvement of Main Steam Temperature Turbine Heat rate could be reduced
by 0.25%-0.30%.
• For every 10% improvement of Reheat Steam Temperature, Turbine Heat rate could be
reduced by 0.15% -0.20%.
