Gland Seal System

The document provides details on the turbine gland seal steam system of a power plant. It describes the key functions, design bases, components, and operation of the system. The system uses sealing steam, condensers, and exhausters to create vacuum around turbine elements to prevent steam leaks and air in-leakage. It maintains pressure differentials across labyrinth seals and uses pressure regulating valves to control steam flow through the various components of the system during startup, normal operation, and changing load conditions of the plant.
