What is a back-pressure steam turbine?

A back-pressure steam turbine is a machine that turns high-pressure steam into mechanical energy, which can generate electricity or power other equipment. Unlike other turbines, it doesn’t fully cool the steam after use. Instead, it releases steam at a lower pressure for industrial purposes like heating or drying.

Here’s how it works:

1. High-pressure steam: The turbine gets high-pressure steam from a boiler.

2. Energy extraction: The steam turns the turbine’s blades, creating mechanical energy. This energy can generate electricity and Power machines like pumps or fans.

3. Process steam output: The steam leaving the turbine is still hot and at a useful pressure, so it’s sent to industrial processes that need steam, like heating or drying.
