The ribs are staggered and welded on the surface of the cylinder body, which not only effectively enhances the overall stiffness of the low-pressure outer cylinder 6 and the bending strength of the peripheral side plate, but also saves the overall installation space.
[0041] After multiple rounds of simulation test and scheme optimization, the flange thickness of the low-pressure outer cylinder 6 is increased to 250mm, and the thickness of the middle support plate is 420mm, which significantly improves the overall stiffness of the outer cylinder and the structural stability of the gas outlet flange.
