majmor,
When you ask a "general" question and expect a "Specific" answer you are asking for trouble.
Your question should be very specific regarding:
- the orientation (up, down, horizontal, north/south/east/west) of the inlet and out nozzles,
- the distance for each above the Turbine support point
- the direction of the piping coming to or leaving the nozzles
- the maximum operating temperature of the supply steam and the exhaust
- the location and type of the support for the piping (supply steam and the exhaust side)
- the type and location of any concentrated loads (valves) in the piping between the piping support and the turbine
- add a sketch
Now you have asked a specific question and you will be more likely to get a specific answer.
