Unlock the vast potential of geothermal energy sources
Atlas Copco Gas and Process offers the full package: From the core turboexpander unit with integral speed reducing gear box to a complete binary cycle power plant and any combination in between, to a complete packaged system including generator, lube and seal oil system, instrumentation, and controls.
Variable inlet guide vanes, nozzle ring
Technological Highlights:
- Turboexpander stage with up to 15,000 kW power per stage - Single or multi-stage turbine design mounted on the same integral gear box - Designed for long life, minimal downtime and easy maintenance - Binary Cycle solutions (ORC, Kalina)
Our turboexpanders are custom designed with high pressure ratios to maintain high efficiency over a wide range of flow variations.
Radial inflow turbo expanders have become the prime choice for energy recovery in general and especially for geothermal power plants utilizing Binary Cycle technology.
By utilizing variable inlet guide vanes, our radial inflow turboexpanders can achieve isentropic efficiencies of up to 90% with pressure ratios up to 10:1 in a single stage. The results are availability factors of 99% in Binary Cycle power plants.
