qi is always positive. Therefore, • Multistage turbines will increase the possibility of recovering lost availability! • The larger the number of stages, the greater is the heat recovery. • The difference is called heat recovery factor, • General value of is 0.04 to 0.06.
Compounding of impulse turbine • Compounding is done to reduce the rotational speed of the impulse turbine to practical limits. • Compounding is achieved by using more than one set of nozzles, blades, rotors, in a series, keyed to a common shaft; so that either the steam pressure or the jet velocity is absorbed by the turbine in stages. • Three main types of compounded impulse turbines are: • a) Pressure compounded Steam Turbine : The Rateau Design • b) velocity compounded Steam Turbine : The Curtis Design • c) pressure and velocity compounded Impulse turbines : The Rateau-curtis Design.
