High-Speed Steam Turbines

Data:

• Direct drive - eliminates the need for a separate gear box
• High performance - greater than 80% efficiency
• Operational efficiency - 12 to 14% steam savings
• Speed matches the compressor, allowing for a smaller compressor frame size with reduced number of stages
• Compact casing size - 20% in space savings
• Lower operating cost - less mineral oil and cooling water required
• Reduced maintenance - fewer spare parts required
