Best Answer

Hood spray is injection of water near the outlet part of the last stage of the low pressure turbine to prevent overheating of the turbine exhaust hood and blades when running at partial (less than 35%) load). This phenomena is caused by partially stalled steam flow at the blade roots (steam is recirculating with turbulence at those parts and heating up its self and the blades due to friction losses)

What is purpose to spray in exhaust hood of steam turbine?

The purpose of exhaust hood spray is to decrease the temperature of steam turbine last stage that is probably LP. This is operate on low load specially at start up and shut down of steam turbine when the temperature at the outer most edge of the turbine blades of that stage is very high and As we know that the steam flow also decrease The temperature of turbine blade.


What is vaccume breaker in steam turbine?

A vacuum breaker is a check valve installed on the exhaust casing of a turbine. It opens to prevent the collapse of the exhaust hood when the turbine cools and the condensing steam produces a vacuum.


Why turbine blades are largenr in size at exhaust end?

Because the steam expands as it passes through the turbine. The steam velocity through the turbine is constant from steam chest to exhaust hood (though it changes in each stage). Thus, the space needed for the steam to expand needs to be expanded to correspond with that expansion of the steam.
