The Chinese translation of Turboexpander
Thread Content
Scope: Steel smelting. It is sometimes called a \"turbine expander\" and at other times a \"turbine expansion engine\". I lean toward the former. I wonder what everyone thinks?
Phrases: Turbopump roturbo; Turbo-power; Turbine generator; Turbofan engine; Turbofan; Rear turbine bearing; Turbomachine; Turbomachinery; Turbine; Turbine locomotive; Blading; Turbine stage; Stationary turbine component; Turbo-prop engine; Gasifier nozzle diaphragm; Turbo-expander; Expansion turbine; Turbine pit; Turbine characteristic; Running turbine component; Turbocompressor; Turbo wheel; Segment of blading; Charging-turbine; Turbine vibration; Turboshaft.

I feel that “turbine” is very similar to a translation derived from the pronunciation of “turbo”
To TO W moderator: Both names are acceptable for chemical plants; just like “potato” – it can be called a potato, or a sweet potato, and in some places it’s called “yangyu”, hehe. PS: The expanders we use are imported from the United States.
I think it’s better to use turbines; turbines seem to be used in engines and generators
Either is fine; both terms can be understood
Transliteration is certainly a good option; the term \"turbine\" has a more academic connotation… From what I’ve heard, people in factories tend to use the term \"turbin.\" I would like to ask the original poster: what is the difference between \"turboexpander\" and \"turbine\"? Is it because of the different medium? Is the purpose still different?
Either is fine; both terms can be understood, and it depends on the industry
If you are studying engines, it’s better to use the term “turbine”; however, using “turbin” as a transliteration is also acceptable, as many foreign terms are translated through transliteration after all
