STEAM TURBINE

BANNER.png

flexible solutions with power up to 24MW 

Our steam turbines have a rich history. These 'Dampfturbine' were originally designed and manufactured by Kuhnle, Kopp & Kausch AG - formed in 1899.

The unique feature of these steam turbines is the way that they have been designed to be modular, so that they can be connected in a huge different number of combinations. In 2021 Howden acquired Peter Brotherhood extending our Steam Turbine range from 24MW to 40MW.

From our smallest turbogenerator through our single stage turbine and right up to our multi-stage steam turbine, we have the ideal industrial solution for your turbo needs.

BASE

The Base is a single-stage impulse turbine. The inlet steam flow is directed onto the turbine rotor blades, where mechanical power is generated when the steam flow direction changes. The resulting impulse spins the rotor, and the power is transferred from the turbine via the gear to the generator. The turbine casing is centrically slide-mounted on the bearing casing to permit free radial movements under influence of different temperatures. The vertical split allows easy access to the rotor disk.

Key features

  • Small and compact design.

  • Largely maintenance-free due to robust construction.

  • ​Resilient and sure technology.

  • Need no preheating due to minimized gyrating masses.

  • ​Favourably priced thanks to proven components.

  • Production orientated design.

TWIN

The TWIN series (formerly known as SST-110 version) are dual casing turbines on one gearbox which can run on different steam lines. The TWIN series steam turbines enable BCU to provide highest cost efficiency and high performance. It allows high heat gradients to be reduced while providing a controlled extraction capability.

Key features

  • Minimal foundation work thanks to small and compact design.

  • Largely maintenance-free due to stalwart, robust construction.

  • ​High availability thanks to resilient and sure technology.

  • Quick start without preheating of the turbine due to minimized gyrating masses.

  • ​Favourably priced thanks to proven components.

  • ​Quick development and commissioning due to production orientated design.

Specification

  • Power Output: 75 to 1,000kW(e).

  • Inlet steam pressure: 2 to 40 bar(a).

  • Inlet steam temperature: dry saturated steam to 400°C.
