Steam turbine

Steam turbine equipped with a safety valve

Name of the device: steam turbine equipped with a safety valve

Manufacturer: General Electric

Place of manufacture: America

Application in the museum of trainees: training for measuring brake pressure and torque

Turbines are devices that create rotational movement from the collision of steam, water and gas that has kinetic energy with blades or vanes that are placed in the environment of a rotating wheel. Steam turbines are the oldest turbines in the oil industry. The steam turbine is a prime mover that converts the thermal power of the steam directly into mechanical energy of the rotary type (heat and mechanical work are two forms of energy that can be converted to each other). An example of this  turbine is available in the Abadan Karamoozan Museum, which is equipped with a safety valve, it is made in the United States, and it has been used to teach the student the  pressure at the pump workshop and in the second year of the training of the trainees.
