62Steam turbines may differ from one another in size, appear
ance, and construction, but all steam turbines are similar in
operation and work on similar principles,
Tn Unit 1 of this program, you will learn how impulse and
yeaction turbines convert thermal encrgy to mechanical
energy. You will learn how condensing and non-condensing
turbines work, how turbine speed is controlled, and how the
sainst failure of other
In Unit 2 you
learn the construction of the turbine: rotor
and easing, diaphragms, seals, and packing boxes, including.
labyrinth and carbon-ring packing, You will learn the con-
struction of the bearings and bearing combinations used in
turbines, of singles and multi-valve governors, anil of the vil
circulation system.
In Unit 8, you will learn turbine operation and operating
problems; the effects of pressure, heat, and steam condensa-
tion; of uneven heating and cooling; lenkage of steam, vibra-
tion; lubrication and lubrication problems; speed adjustment,
instrumentation, and visual inspections to be conducted before
startup,
Through this understanding of turbine principles, constrn
tion, and control, you will be better able tn assure the efficiency
and safety of turbine operations,
