Abstract
The present application provides a section cooling system for a steam turbine to limit a leakage flow therethrough. The section cooling system may include a first pressure flow extraction from a first section to a shaft packing location between the first section and a second section and a rotor aperture extending towards the first section. The first pressure flow extraction diverts the leakage flow from the first section into the rotor aperture so as to limit the leakage flow to the second section.
