SST-700 steam turbine for economical

production of heat and power
Whether you need power generation for Condensing turbines feature as standard an
independent power production or for any axial exhaust connected to an in-line water-
industrial application, the SST-700 steam cooled condenser or connected to an air-cooled
turbine offers you the flexibility, reliability condenser. The axial exhaust saves foundation

Design features
The SST-700 dual casing turbine can be
equipped with a single valve or a multi-valve
inlet as well as with a variety of extraction con-
trol arrangements.

In order to make the best use of large changes

in volumetric flow from inlet to outlet, the
SST-700 turbine steam expansion is divided into
two different modules: one high-pressure tur-
bine (HP) and one low-pressure turbine (LP).
The use of two separate modules operating at
different and optimized speeds is the optimal
design for large expansion coefficients, which is
the case for both high live steam data and large
low pressure exhaust steam flows. The two
modules can be combined to provide the turbine
configuration that is most suitable for a specific
application. However, each module can also be Turboset with SST-700
utilized on its own, e.g. the high-pressure mod- steam turbine up to
ule can be used as a separate back-pressure unit. 130 MW
