Lesson 3.

8 Explain the meaning of throttle governing and nozzle governing,

which is the way of control of turbine output

Throttle Governing Of Steam Turbine:-

When steam turbine controls its output speed by varying the quantity of steam
entering the turbine is called Throttle Governing. It is also known as
Servomotor methods (A servomotor is a rotary actuator or linear actuator that
allows for precise control of angular or linear position, velocity and acceleration).
In this system, a centrifugal governor is driven from the main shaft of turbine by
belt or gear arrangement.
In nozzle governing the flow rate of steam is regulated by opening and shutting
of sets of nozzles rather than regulating its pressure. In this method groups of
two, three or more nozzles form a set and each set is controlled by a separate
valve.
