SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HYDRAULICALLY ACTUATING MAIN AND BYPASS VALVES OF A STEAM TURBINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17877792 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HYDRAULICALLY ACTUATING MAIN AND BYPASS VALVES OF A STEAM TURBINE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system that includes a hydraulic power unit for a steam turbine system.

  • The hydraulic power unit consists of a tank, a pump assembly, an accumulator assembly, and a header.
  • The tank stores a common hydraulic fluid.
  • The pump assembly pumps the hydraulic fluid from the tank to create pressurized hydraulic fluid.
  • The accumulator assembly stores the pressurized hydraulic fluid.
  • The header is connected to the pump assembly and the accumulator assembly.
  • The header supplies the pressurized hydraulic fluid to the main valves and bypass valves of the steam turbine system.


Original Abstract Submitted

A system includes a hydraulic power unit having a tank, a pump assembly, an accumulator assembly, and a header. The tank is configured to store a common hydraulic fluid. The pump assembly is configured to pump the common hydraulic fluid from the tank to provide a pressurized hydraulic fluid. The accumulator assembly is configured to store the pressurized hydraulic fluid. The header is coupled to the pump assembly and the accumulator assembly, wherein the header is configured to supply the pressurized hydraulic fluid to one or more main valves and one or more bypass valves of a steam turbine system.
