Abstract
A turbine casing may comprise a casing body and a first heat pipe disposed in the casing body. The first heat pipe may comprise a first working medium. The first heat pipe may include a first vaporization section and a first condensation section. The first vaporization section may be located forward the first condensation section. A second heat pipe may be disposed in the casing body and may comprise a second working medium different from the first working medium.
