Types of Turbines

There are some types of turbines in the world. Types of turbines can be classified as follow:

1. Type turbine based on working cycle:

1.      Open cycle turbine generator

2.      Closed cycle turbine generator

3.      Combined cycle turbine generator

2. Type turbine based on construction

1.      Single shaft turbine generator

2.      Multi shaft turbine generator

3. Type turbine based on fluid flow

1.      Axial flow turbine generator

2.      Radial flow turbine generator

4. Type turbine based on working fluid

1.      Gas turbine generator

2.      Steam turbine generator

3.      Water turbine generator

5. Type turbine based on pressure

1.      Low pressure turbine generator

2.      Middle pressure turbine generator

3.      High pressure turbine generator

4.      Very high pressure turbine generator

5.      Supercritical pressure turbine generator

6. Type turbine based on amount of cylinder:

1.      Single cylinder turbine generator

2.      Double cylinder turbine generator

3.      Triple cylinder turbine generator

4.      Multi cylinder turbine generator

7. Type turbine based on amount level of pressure:

1.      Single level pressure or some levels speed turbine generator.

2.      Impulse and many levels turbine generator

8. Type turbine based on method of setting:

1.      Turbine generator with throttling setting method

2.      Turbine generator nozzle setting method

3.      Turbine generator with by-pass governing method

9. Type turbine based on use:

1.      Turbine generator with constant / stationer rotation which is used to drive alternator.

2.      Turbine generator with flexible and has variable of speed to drive turbo power, pump, etc.

3.      Turbine generator non stationery which is used to steam machine, ship and locomotive.
