1.Introduction of Turbine Valve
1.1 Function of the Turbine Valves
The main Function of Turbine Valves is protecting the turbine from the Turbine Overspeed, and
controlling the turbine load. That is, the Valves are equipments to controlling the speed, load and
steam flow of turbine.
1.2 Arrangement of the Valves
In order to protect the turbine from the Turbine Overspeed, there are two kinds of valve set. The
first is a set of Main Stop Valve (MSV) and Control Valve (CV) at the inlet of the Main Steam
Lead Pipe, and the second is a set of Reheat Stop Valve (RSV) and Intercept Valve (IV) at the
exit of the Reheater. So, MSV and CV are called as HP Valves, and the valve installed at the LP
or IP turbine is called as Combined Reheat Valve (CRV).
The arrangement of HP Valves and CRV is operating to the double protection circuit for
preventing the Turbine Overspeed. That is, For protecting the Turbine from the Overspeed, CV
and IV response first under Pre-Emergency condition, and MSV and RSV response as
secondary under Emergency condition. Also, MSV and RSV are closed individually when each
CV and IV is not working

6. Design Features - Stem & Bushing
1 . Reduced Leak-off Flow
2. Apply Running Clearance preventing from sticking
between stem and bushing.
- Material Thermal Expansion
- Determine proper clearance
3. Nitriding process to prevent from oxidation buildup and have a good abrasion resistance.
4. Ni alloy steel is used for stem which has a high
creep strength and a low oxidation rate. It is expected
that this material will reduce the amount of stem
bending and extend the interval between required
cleaning of the stems.
