Abstract
A turbine includes an outer casing and an inner casing surrounded by said outer casing. The outer casing and inner casing are coaxially arranged with respect to a machine axis. The outer casing and inner casing are each divided in a split plane into an upper part and a lower part. The upper and lower parts are connected with each other in said split plane by means of a flanged connection. The disassembly process is improved by the flanged connection of the upper and lower part of the inner casing comprising a plurality of bolts, which extend each through through holes in respective flanges of said flanged connection of the inner casing, protrude from said through holes at both ends with a threaded section, and are tightened by means of nuts screwed on said threaded sections at both ends of said bolt.
