Best Answer

Gland steam is steam supplied to the labyrinth glands of the low pressure turbine to prevent air entering in the exhaust side, which disturbs the vacuum (± 50 mbar absolute) in the condenser. Gland steam pressure is to supply at about 0,2 bar.

Why steam enter at bottom and exit at top in gland of steam turbin rotor?

Gland steam always send from bottom because if we send the gland steam from top then it has a tendency to pass directly to the bottom (condenser) .Due to this reason gland steam is send from bottom so that it occupies total turbine inside vacuum space and seal it.
