ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for controlling the steam pressure at the exit of the last row of blades of a steam turbine by means of an adjustable guide vane assembly having a plurality of vane segments supported by the bearing cone that are moved to change the cross-sectional area of the exhaust flow passage so as to improve turbine efficiency under varying operating conditions by minimizing the average pressure in the annulus following the last row of turbine blades.
