axial shift depends upon the gap between rotot blade and fixed blade , not on float
The thrust pads will be there at the front or non drive end of the turbine side....These are usually used to limit the axial displacement of the rotor( Means to minimize the movement of rotor axially in order to maintain the axial clearance between the moving blades and the fixed blades of steam turbine rotor).....
it is used balance axial thrust on turbine rotor due to admitting of high pressure steam in to turbine. it basic purpose is to save thrust bearing.
in a steam turbine, it is the speed at which the turbine should not go above. some time they call it overspeed trip. because the turbine rotor and berings are not design for such high speed and is not capable to handle this huge cenerfugal forces. usually there is two type of trip system: Electronic and Mechanical. some Steam Turbins have both protaction system.
my LP turbine differential expansion increase ,when rated gland steam temperature maintain.
When a large turbine rotor stops it will still be hot and will tend to bend in the middle if left to cool normally. To prevent this the barring gear will turn the rotor slightly at given intervals during the cool down period.
axial shift of a steam turbine is the shifting of turbine rotor in the forward and backward direction due to steam thrust on blades of rotor.

Thrust pads are used to protect the steam turbine rotor from damage due to axial displacement due to axial thrust created by entry of steam in the turbine. generaly the pads clearence is 0.45mm for a bearing size 250mm.
Dummy piston is provided to oppose the axial thrust generated (in the direction of steam) due to incoming steam.
Ljungstrom Turbine is a Radial Outflow Steam Turbine with two counter rotating discs. Blades are mounted in circles one bigger than the other. Blades of one rotor work as nozzles for the other rotor blades. This turbine design is very forgiving on wet steam. It is said that the turbine design had limitations on scaling up above 30 MW and hence could not compete with Axial Flow Turbines.
ROTOR ROTOR
in a steam turbine, it is the speed at which the turbine should not go above. some time they call it overspeed trip. because the turbine rotor and berings are not design for such high speed and is not capable to handle this huge cenerfugal forces. usually there is two type of trip system: Electronic and Mechanical. some Steam Turbins have both protaction system.
No these are two different sensors. The thrust bearing temperature trip device measures either the metal temperature of the bearing, or the oil temperature exiting the bearing, or both. If this temperature exceeds recommended temperatures by 10 to 15% the turbine will trip to avoid damaging the bearings or shaft. The rotor position sensor is a proximity cell that monitors the axial position of the turbine rotor, often there is four such sensors mounted at the end of the rotor, if the distance between the sensors and the rotors exceeds a specific distance ( often 15-30 mils) the sensors indicate a failure, if two or three sensors indicate failure the turbine will trip.
In axial flow compressors, the primary purpose of IGVs (fixed or variable) is to guide the airflow onto the first stage rotor blades at an appropriate or required angle of attack.
It depends upon megawatt of turbine & design of blades.
differential expansion is refer to differential distance between rotor blade and fix blade.rotor expand toward generator and casing expand toward control valve.when temperature increase ,expansion in casing and rotor.so rotor mass is less than casing which rotor expand more than casing.
