🔍 Key Concepts

• Steam turbine gland sealing system purpose and normal pressure behavior • How labyrinth packing and gland leakoff maintain vacuum and prevent air leakage • System symptoms when there is a restriction vs. leakage/wear

💭 Think About

• Think about what would make you have to keep turning the gland sealing steam pressure up just to keep conditions normal. Is steam being blocked, or is it escaping more than usual? • Ask yourself: if something downstream is restricted, what happens to the pressure you need at the inlet? If something is worn or leaking, what happens to the amount of steam you must supply? • Consider which condition would most directly increase the steam flow requirement to the glands, rather than just changing the condenser or hotwell conditions.

✅ Before You Answer

• Review how excessive gland sealing steam pressure relates to either increased leakage out of the glands or a blockage after the glands • Verify which option describes a problem at the gland itself (where sealing steam does its job) versus a problem in the condenser or hotwell • Check which condition would most likely show up FIRST as a change in required gland sealing steam pressure, not as a general condenser vacuum or hotwell level problem
