High efficiency prompts EXERGY’s ORC turbine development

Radial outflow turbines (ROT) have been developed at the beginning of the 20th century, where they have been used during the era of steam-powered ships and locomotives.

This has mostly been in Sweden and the UK by Svenska Turbinfabriks AB Ljungström in Finspång and Parsons Marine Steam Turbine Company at Wallsend in North East England respectively.

These have only declined in popularity when steam turbines have been replaced by different prime movers, particularly diesel and gas turbine engines.
