Abstract
A method of adjusting a thermal balance of a rotor. When obtaining a difference in shaft-vibration component of the rotor between an actual load condition and a no load condition, on the basis of detection results at a simulated load, a difference in shaft-vibration component of the rotating rotor between a no-load condition and a condition in which the rotor is heated from the outside and a difference in shaft-vibration component of the rotating rotor between a no-load condition and a condition in which the rotor is heated from the inside are detected at the simulated load. The detected differences in shaft-vibration component are converted respectively to differences in shaft-vibration component under a temperature condition at the actual load. Both the converted differences in shaft-vibration component are added to each other in a vector manner to obtain a difference in rotor shaft-vibration component at the actual load. Coolant flow rate at each section within the rotor is adjusted to eliminate the difference in rotor shaft-vibration component, thereby adjusting the thermal balance of the rotor.
