Abstract :
Steam turbines must be judged not only upon their original characteristics, but also upon the permanence of these characteristics and the reliability of operation over a period of years. Some of the factors affecting reliability and permanence of performance of modern steam turbines are discussed in this article, and several recently developed methods of maintaining efficiencies are given.
