Turbine housing

Protection and stability for turbine components

Turbine housings are essential components in energy and drive technology. These large-volume housings enclose turbine components, provide protection against external influences and ensure their reliable and eFicient operation.

What are turbine housings?

Turbine housings are special structures that securely enclose turbine components. The housings ensure that the turbine functions smoothly. At the same time, they offer protection against mechanical stress, extreme temperatures and external influences.

Main task of turbine housings?

    1. Protection: Shielding sensitive components from environmental influences such as dust, water and corrosion.
    2. Stability: Ensuring structural integrity even under extreme conditions.
    3. Control functions:Optimization of the air or gas flow within the turbine for maximum EFiciency.

Turbine housing materials

The choice of housing material plays a key role, especially for EFiciency and durability. Typical materials are

  • High-strength steel: Ideal for applications with high mechanical loads.
  • Stainless steel: Provides corrosion resistance and is suitable for extreme temperatures.
  • Titanium: Lightweight and robust, ideal for turbines in the aerospace industry.
  • Composite materials: Combinations of metals and heat-resistant materials for optimum heat dissipation.

Construction of modern turbine housings

The development of turbine housings requires the highest precision and the use of advanced manufacturing technologies.

  1. CAD design: Protects against rifle bullets and is ideal for civilian armored vehicles or buildings in medium risk areas.
  2. Welding and joining techniques: Ensure that the housings remain stable even under extreme conditions.
  3. Thermal insulation: Integrated insulation layers protect the external components from heat.
  4. Load tests: Each enclosure is tested under realistic conditions to ensure maximum safety.

Areas of application for turbine housings

Turbine housings are used in a wide range of industries:

  • Energy industry: Protection of steam turbines in power plants against extreme temperatures and pressure.
  • Aerospace: Lightweight and robust housings for gas turbines in airplanes.
  • Industrial production: Use in turbines for high-performance machines and production plants.
  • Marine: Protection of turbines in ships against corrosion and mechanical loads.
  • Oil and gas industry: housings for turbines in offshore and onshore plants.

Advantages of modern turbine housings

  • Maximum protection: Prevent damage to sensitive turbine components caused by external influences.
  • Durability: High-quality materials ensure a long service life, even under extreme conditions
  • Increased efficiency: Optimized designs improve air or gas flow and increase performance.
  • Flexibility: Customizable designs enable use in different turbine types and industries.
  • Ease of maintenance: Modern housing designs facilitate access to the turbines for maintenance work.

Future trends in turbine housings
