Turbine. Drain from forward to after end of L.P. Turbines. Drain from after end of H.P. Turbine to afler end of either L.P. Turbine. Two-way Cock for changing over. Drain from after end of both L.P. Turbines to "Wet" Air Pump. Light Non-return Valves. U Bend in Pipe to act as "Water Seal" and prevent return of Air. S. "Wet" Air Pump Suction Pipes. Note.--The connections marked I, 2, and 3 are only open when the turbines are stopped, and the connections marked 5, 6, 7, and 8 are open when the turbines are either running or stopped (temporarily). bend contains water, the admission of air is prevented even should the air pumps cease working. The non-return valve mentioned above would prevent the possible return of water back from the pump into the turbine casings. H.P. Turbine.--The drain from the after end of the H.P. turbine is merely led to the drain pipe connection of either of the L.P. turbines, a cross or "change over" connection to either L.P. being arranged by means of a twoway cock. Note.--The water which is constantly drained off from the L.P. turbines when running is formed by the adiabatic expansion of the steam in the turbines. The H.P. exhaust pipes to each L.P. turbine are placed low down to allow the water condensed in the H.P. turbine to pass easily to the L.P. turbines, and afterwards be drained off by the connections aft to the " wet" air pumps. (See sketch facing page 74.) All casing drains can be opened up to the bilges when required, and this is done when the engines are rung off, so as to get rid of the vacuum existi...
