How to Steam Turbine components work? Power Engineering
Technical Engineering School・2 minutes read
Turbines convert steam energy into mechanical energy through a combination of moving and stationary parts, including diaphragms and wheels with multiple stages for efficient energy generation. The turbines utilize impulse and reaction blades along with stop valves and control valves to regulate steam flow and optimize energy conversion.
Insights
- Turbines are complex machines with both moving (shaft and wheels) and stationary (casing and diaphragms) components, working together to convert steam energy into mechanical energy.
- The design of turbines involves multiple stages with interstage diaphragms and nozzle blocks, allowing for the efficient conversion of steam energy through the use of impulse and reaction blades.
