Turbine expander
Thread Content
What does “turbine” mean in a turbine expander? Could you please explain?
Turbine is the transliteration of the English word turbine
Turbine expanders have advantages such as a large flow rate of gas passing through them, high efficiency, no frictional components, stable operation, and reliable performance. It is suitable for processes with high flow rates and low pressure drops; turbine expanders are generally used in large air separation units.
Turbine is the transliteration of TURBINE, referring to turbine-type devices. For example, centrifugal compressors
Turbine refers to steam turbines and turbines in general. A turbine is incorporated into the expander because of its similarity to a steam turbine: in both cases, gas exerts force on the impeller, generating mechanical energy that causes the rotor to rotate at high speed. The expanded portion provides energy to the rotor blades.
A turbine refers to a rotating machine.
