DRIVE STEAM TURBINE

Category: Business

In general, compressors for plants are driven by steam turbines, which convert steam energy to rotational energy by means of rotor blades. Unlike the turbines used for power generation, which rotate at a constant speed, these turbines can be operated at variable speeds. Steam Turbines are well suited as a prime mover for driving boiler feedback pumps, forced or induced-draft fans, blowers, air compressors, and other rotating equipment. This service generally goes with the back-pressure noncondensing steam turbines. The low-pressure steam turbine exhaust is available for Feedwater heating, preheating of deaerator makeup water, and/or process requirements. In operations where it is possible to reduce the steam pressure to a lower level, it may be advantageous to run the turbine in basic operation, thereby reducing the power consumption. https://turtleturbines.com/drive-steam-turbine/
