Glands are used on turbine to minimise the leakage of steam (or air) between the rotating
and stationary parts components which have a pressure difference across them.
LOCATION: particularly where turbine shaft passes through the cylinder.
In both the cases :
1. PRESSURE cylinder > PRESSURE atmosphere
(general steam leakage outwards)
2. PRESSURE cylinder < PRESSURE atmosphere
(general steam leakage outwards)
-sealing system is employed to prevent air from entering into cylinder and condenser.
Causes:
Symptoms:
Eliminate steam vapors in the vicinity of the machine which are usually toxic due to additives
found in the machine
Reduce humidity in the vicinity of the machine resulting in safer and more reliable operation of all
electric devices installed in the area
Eliminate lube oil contamination from the migration of water condensate into the seal oil thereby
extending the period between oil changes
