- Abstract
This paper, which is based upon the author's personal experiences in operating and manufacturing, deals with modern features of turbo-alternator plant and indicates the operating conditions chiefly responsible for the adoption of features which make plant "easy to live with".
Steam pressures and temperatures, steam re-heating and regenerative feed-heating are discussed, as well as important factors in the design and manufacture of turbine spindles, thrust bearings, couplings, cylinders, blading (including blade erosion and hollow blades), governor gear, lubrication, condensing plant, etc.
On the electrical side the paper deals with direct generation at high voltages, alternator stability and ventilation, rotor and stator construction, non-metallic end shields, etc.
