Abstract (en)

An axial flow steam turbine includes an exhaust diffuser in the form of a volute (40) for diffusing the exhaust steam and turning the exhaust steam from a generally axial flow direction to a generally radial direction. The volute exit (46) may be at the bottom or to one side of the steam turbine. The volute and casing are independently mounted relative to one another on a foundation with a flexible joint therebetween.
