Before entering the LP [low-pressure] turbine, the steam passes through intercept valves. In a fashion similar to the emergency stop valve, these valves shut off steam to the LP turbine in an emergency. Steam passes through the normally open intercept valve, passes through the low-pressure turbine, and is then exhausted to the condenser ... 1, record 3, English, - intercept%20valve

Avant de pénétrer dans la turbine basse-pression, la vapeur doit traverser des vannes d’interception. Tout comme la vanne d’arrêt d’urgence, ces vannes permettent, en cas d’urgence, d’isoler la turbine basse-pression. En condition normale, la vapeur franchit la vanne d’interception ouverte, s’écoule dans la turbine basse-pression d’où elle ressort pour passer au condenseur. 1, record 3, French, - vanne%20d%27interception
