DEVELOPMENT OF A JAPANESE DESIGN OF MARINE STEAM TURBINE PLANT

The development of the marine turbine from the viewpoint of the design produced by Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd is reviewed from 1948 to the present. The design philosphy of the blading, maneuvering system, material of labyrinth packing and reduction gears, which are considered to be part of the original design, are examined. Also discussed are the design of large output turbines for the reheat cycle, including designs with direct driven electric alternator, and boiler feed pump, together with an arrangement of a future turbine design planned by Kawasaki.
