Title:
TURBINE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS55142906
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A turbine has a first nozzle means (34, 35, 36) for discharging fluid including vapor and liquid and a rotor (24, see Figures 1 and 2) to receive fluid supplied via the first nozzle means and for forming a ring of liquid (50). The rotor (24) acts as a vapor/liquid separator and a turbine rotor, the rotor having first vanes (42) to receive and pass the liquid and thereby drive the rotor and exit nozzles (47) to which liquid subjected to centrifugal pressurization in the ring of liquid (50) is delivered, the exit nozzles (47) being angled to form exit jets producing further thrust acting to drive the rotor. The invention provides an economical prime mover of low capital cost due to simple construction, high reliability, and minimum maintenance requirements.
