The paper describes a procedure that allows to start up a steam turbine in a significantly shorter period. The procedure is developed for start-ups that begin from a cold state, when the temperature of the parts of the turbine is close to the ambient temperature. The pre-heating rises the parts temperature before the actual start-up begins. It changes the thermal state of the turbine and causes smaller maximal stress during the initial period of the start-up. The procedure involves a pre-heating of the turbine with a hot air generated in an electric heater. The paper describes the requirements of the process. It presents the possible configurations of the flow in the turbine and the analysis of the thermal and the strength state of the turbine during the pre-heating.
