Turbines and their types

 In this article, we intend to introduce Different Types of Turbines. We first provide a brief definition of a turbine. A turbine is a mechanical device that extracts energy from a fluid stream and converts it into work. It is a rotating motor that can extract energy from a fluid.

 

As you know, there are different types of turbines, some of which you may have seen closely, such as wind turbines. In the following, we will introduce the types of turbines.

Turbine classification methods are based on the method of exchanging motion between the fluid and the turbine, the flow path of the fluid through the turbine, the hydraulic range of the turbine activity, and the specific speed of the turbine.

 

Considering how the fluid flow acts on the turbine blades causes hydro turbines to be classified into two categories: impulse and reaction.

Impulse Turbines
If the turbine wheel is driven by the kinetic energy of the fluid that strikes the turbine blades through the nozzle or otherwise, the turbine is known as an impulse turbine. In these types of turbines, a set of rotating machinery operates at atmospheric pressure. Impulse turbines are usually suitable for high head and low flow rates. Click Here for more information.
