Comparison of Axial & Downward Steam Turbine

Axial exhaust turbines offer reduced exhaust loss and greater efficiency as compared to upward and downward exhaust turbines.

Performance

Downward exhaust Axial exhaust

Turbine building

Axial Exhaust turbine•Above-ground foundation concrete reduced by 30%.

•Total building floor area reduced by 75% and total volume by 67%

Axial exhaust turbines require less foundation concrete and a smaller building, thereby reducing both the cost and the lead time of construction.

Axial exhaust turbines reduce the cost of maintenance and the space required in which to perform it.
