Applied Marine Turbines - Product Advantages

Marine Turbines vs. Industrial Turbines

• Variable speed vs. Constant speed.
• Increased back pressure with much stronger exhaust section vs. Weaker lower exhaust section.
• Hand speed controlled vs. Automatic governor controlled.
• Solid rotor vs. Built up rotors.
• Naval specifications vs. Industrial specifications.

Advantages of Naval Marine Turbines

• A relatively large factor of safety is used in the design and material specification.
• Speed flexibility.
• Almost constant efficiency over the design speed range.
• Diversity of sizes, speed and rotation services.
• Aft expansion for thrust bearing protection.
• Provision for automatic extraction using smaller condensing marine turbines.
• Reduced lead time to modify and install.
• Adaptable to a number of control methods mechanical or electronic.
• Marine inlet steam conditions are normally higher the conditions used in industrial applications.
