Industrial Applications

Siemens Steam Turbines (SST TM )

SST-800 steam turbine for economical

production of heat and power
Whether you need power generation for
independent power production or for
any industrial application, the SST-800
offers you the flexibility, reliability and
economy of operation you demand.
volumetric flow rates. Steam is led into the turbine
by one or two emergency stop valves, which,
together with the control valve chest, form an
integral part of the turbine casing. It is directly
connected with the inner casing in the middle
part of the turbine body.

The SST-800 range: proven design
for a wide range of applications
The SST-800 is a single casing center-admission
steam turbine with reverse steam flow inside casing,
designed for operation at 3,000 or 3,600 rpm for
generator drive up to 150 MW. For compressor
drives variable speed up to 5,000 rpm is possible.
It represents a solution based on long experience
of industrial steam turbines, covering industrial
applications such as:
The intermediate section of the turbine is highly
customized. It can be equipped with one or two
internally controlled extractions and steam bleeds
as required.

Design features
The SST-800 single casing steam turbine can
be used for both condensing and back-pressure
application. It is built up from pre-designed
modules combined to a single unit for optimum
matching of the required parameters.

The SST-800 turbine can be equipped with impulse

control stage and reaction blading fixed in blade
carriers. Each front section, which includes the
main steam admission, is available in a number
of geometrically scaled sizes to match different

Flexible design for individual customer needs
Operational flexibility
The turbine concept together with its modular
configuration ensures high stress absorption
during turbine operation whilst maintaining high
flexibility in design.
The combination of the inner and outer casing subs-
tantially reduces weight, dimensions and axial forces.
Together with the bearing pedestal arrangement it
also improves the thermal stability of the turbine (and
reduces stresses during operation).
Optimum performance
The SST-800 offers an extensive range of inlet
steam parameters. Variable inlet control valve
configuration and high flexibility for arrangement
of controlled extractions and bleeds guarantee an
optimum performance for almost all requirements
in regard to plant configuration and operational
conditions.
Blades configured into groups mounted into sepa-
rate blade carriers support high optimization of the
complete steam path, which, together with the
advanced design of the blades themselves, forms
the basis for achieving the highest efficiency.
Modular arrangement
The turbine consists of three main modules:
inlet, intermediate and exhaust section, which
are available in various sizes and configurations.
The complex inlet section consists of emergency stop
valve, control valve chest, internal casing with blad-
ing and external casing. Blading in the internal casing
is aligned for the steam to flow in the opposite direct-
ion to the intermediate section. The intermediate
section can be designed for straight flow, or
equipped with bleeds and/or extractions, depending
on the application requirements. A wide range of
exhaust sizes and types is available, as described in
the following section.
Layout concepts
The versatile design of the turbine and its auxiliaries
provides for a wide range of layout concepts and
solutions, where the most typical are standardized.
For ground-level installations the turbine is VW Wolfsburg, Germany,
equipped with axial or upward exhaust, yielding one of two 68 MW steam
substantial savings in foundation and building cost. turbosets for the automotive
For the axial exhaust alternative, the embedded industry
bearing is supported by the exhaust casing itself.
Where space is restrictive, an arrangement with
downward exhaust and underslung condenser can
be selected.
These typical arrangements cover the majority of
steam turbine installations, but the turboset can
meet any project-specific requirements thanks to
the versatility of its individual parts and their high
configuration adaptability.
Easy installation and maintenance
The modular design simplifies the installation and
maintenance of the turbine. A high level of pre-
assembled and pre-tested components (turbine
package, generator, oil unit etc.) minimizes the man-
power and time for installation and commissioning
at site. The horizontally split outer casing permits easy
access. Stop valves and steam strainers are accommo-
dated in the steam chest and can be removed without
dismantling the piping.
