Steam turbines of thermal power plants are installed in such a way that packing ring surrounds the entire turbine rotors in order to reduce the amount lost due to a leak of steam and to improve performance. However, the conventional packing ring cannot affect positively fluid velocity of the direction of steam, so it does not have the power to reduce vibration of the rotor. In this research, a study was conducted to reduce it by lowering the rotational speed of steam in the rotor. Anti-swirl teeth which changes rotational speed of steam into axial speed of it, designed in front of the conventional packing rings, and their numbers, twist angles. The characteristics of the rotor and the anti-swirl teeth were chosen as design factors to reduce vibration of the rotor. Through the finite element, the improved packing ring designed with the optimal anti-swirl teeth was developed.
