A lot of turbine types in the world, one of turbine types is classified according to fluid flow like radial flow turbine generator. Radial flow turbine generator is the turbine which has direction of fluid flow perpendicular to axis of turbine shaft. In the radial flow turbine generator, expansion fluid from initial pressure to the last pressure occurs in all of rotating blades.
Radial flow turbine is generally used for small flow rate. The advantageous of radial flow turbine generator are radial flow turbine is cheaper and simpler for manufacturing than axial flow turbine generator. For example are small gas turbine installations in the field of automotive and fire pump that can be removable. Figure 1 below shows the characteristic of radial flow turbine generator.
