ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for reducing thermal stress in steam turbines having steam chests with a plurality of linearly-arranged valves controlling respective nozzle chambers. By crosstying selected pairs of the valves, and selectively admitting steam through the crosstie, transfers of the turbine from a full-arc admission mode to a partial-arc admission mode, and vice versa, can be made with a minimum temperature differential.
