What are the types of steam turbines?
It is increasingly urgent in various industrial plants to generate electricity using byproducts from their production lines. There are several possibilities for what is called cogeneration.
In this context, Wórtice Energia is a reference in the cogeneration energy market by offering the best solutions in all types of steam turbines.
The types of steam turbines offered by Wórtice Energia are responsible for converting the energy from the heat of the steam, resulting from various processes within an industry, into electrical energy. In this content, you will learn about the types of steam turbines offered by Wórtice Energia.
What are the types of steam turbines?
Steam turbines are state-of-the-art equipment designed, manufactured, and installed by Wórtice Energia to use steam, a byproduct of various processes within an industry, for generating electrical energy.
Steam turbines have a set of systems that, when activated, convert the heat of the steam into kinetic energy and, in turn, into electrical energy that will be used throughout the plant.
In other words, the types of steam turbines offered by Wórtice Energia operate by expanding the steam generated in a boiler, which rotates a blade or rotor, producing mechanical energy.
What are the stages of energy production using steam turbines?
Energy production using Wórtice Energia's steam turbine types consists of three stages:
1. Steam Generation
In the first stage, steam is generated from the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, or oil in a boiler.
2. Expansion of Steam
In the second stage, the steam is expanded through the blades of the turbine, generating mechanical energy.
3. Electricity Generation
In the third stage, this mechanical energy is converted into electricity through the use of electric generators.
For all these three stages of electricity generation using steam turbines to take place properly, specialized professionals with over 45 years of experience from Wórtice Energia are called upon. With the high technology installed at the company headquarters, they perform all the technical procedures to offer 360º solutions.
Get to know the types of steam turbines
There are different types of steam turbines, each with their own characteristics and specific applications. Some of the main types in Wórtice Energia's portfolio include:
- High pressure steam turbines: These turbines are used in thermal power plants to generate electricity. They have a high working pressure, which increases the efficiency of electricity generation.
- Low pressure steam turbines: These turbines are used in thermal power plants to generate electricity. They have a lower working pressure, which reduces operating costs.
- Low speed steam turbines: These turbines are used in thermal power plants to generate electricity. They have a lower rotation speed, which increases the machine's lifespan.
- Cogeneration steam turbines: These turbines are used in thermal power plants to generate electricity and heat. They have a high working pressure, which increases the efficiency of electricity and heat generation.
