Pressure double impulse turbine - Pressure double impulse turbine

Japanese: 圧力複式衝動タービン - あつりょくふくしきしょうどうたーびん
Pressure double impulse turbine - Pressure double impulse turbine

…The latter in particular has been passed down to today's high-output machines without any essential changes in form. As for impulse turbines, the speed compound turbine was created in 1896 by Charles G. Curtis (1860-1953) of the United States, and around the same time, the pressure compound impulse turbine, which converted the thermal energy of steam into velocity energy through multiple stages, was created by Auguste Rateau (1863-1930) of France in 1897 and Heinrich Zoelley (1862-1937) of Switzerland in 1903, respectively, and this paved the way for greater output. Although steam turbines do not have a large torque, they have the characteristic of being able to produce large output at high revolutions per minute, which made them ideal as prime movers for driving generators, and their progress has been in tandem with the beginning of the use of electricity and the expansion of its demand. …

…とくに後者は,本質的な形式の変化もなく今日の大出力機に受け継がれている。衝動タービンについては,その後,1896年アメリカのカーティスCharles G.Curtis(1860‐1953)によって速度複式タービンが作られ,相前後して,97年にはフランスのラトーAuguste Rateau(1863‐1930)により,また,1903年にはスイスのツェリーHeinrich Zoelley(1862‐1937)によって,それぞれ独立に,蒸気の熱エネルギーを多数の段によって速度エネルギーに変換する形式の圧力複式衝動タービンが製作され,大出力化への道が開かれた。蒸気タービンはトルクはあまり大きくないが,高回転数とすることにより大きい出力を出せるという特徴をもっており,この特徴が発電機駆動用原動機としてうってつけのものであったため,その進歩はまさに電力使用の始まりとその需要の拡大と軌を一にしている。…
