From Vapor to Velocity - The Remarkable Work of Steam Turbines

In this article, we’re going to look at steam turbines. Even veteran boiler operators may not understand the magic that happens in a steam turbine facility.

In some industrial steam systems, turbines play a critical role in transforming the thermal energy stored in high-pressure steam into mechanical work. This conversion powers essential equipment, drives electrical generators, and helps facilities improve overall efficiency. Understanding the physics of it all, how pressure turns into profits, and what operators must get right, is important for operators, maintenance teams, and anyone managing steam-powered processes.
