Abstract
A clamping and support system for a turbine is disclosed. The clamping and support system may include a support bar coupled with a lower diaphragm portion of the turbine. The support bar may have a protuberance extending from a first end portion thereof that may at least partially extend into a slot formed in the lower diaphragm portion of the turbine. The clamping and support system may also include a clamping bar coupled with a second end portion of the support bar. The clamping bar may at least partially extend into a slot formed in an upper diaphragm portion of the turbine such that at least a portion of the lower diaphragm portion and at least a portion of the upper diaphragm portion are interposed between the clamping bar and the protuberance of the support bar, thereby coupling the lower diaphragm portion with the upper diaphragm portion.
