Turbine stages in Power Plant

Stages of Turbine in Power Plant The turbine has one single flow High Pressure turbine, one double flow Intermediate Pressure, and one double flow Low Pressure turbine. HP: High-Pressure Turbine IP: Intermediate Pressure Turbine LP: Low-Pressure Turbine High-Pressure Turbine: The construction of High Pressure turbine is barrel type. This avoids mass accumulation due to the absence …
