WHAT IS COMPOUMDING?
Compounding is employed for reducing the rotational speed of the impulse
turbine to practical limits.
Compounding of steam turbines is the method in which energy from the steam
is extracted in a number of stages rather than a single stage in a turbine.
A compounded steam turbine has multiple stages i.e. it has more than one set
of nozzles and rotors, in series, keyed to the shaft or fixed to the casing, so
that either the steam pressure or the jet velocity is absorbed by the turbine
in number of stages.
There are three main types of compounded turbines.
a) Velocity-compounded impulse turbine.
b) Pressure-compounded impulse turbine.
c) Pressure and velocity compounded impulse turbine.
VELOCITY-COMPOUNDED IMPULSE
TURBINE
This turbine is also termed as
Curtis Turbine.
Velocity drop is arranged in many
small drops through many moving
blades instead of single row of
moving blades.
High pressure steam is expanded
in nozzle which is then transferred
to first set of moving blades where
steam losses part of its kinetic
energy.
Fixed blade are guide blades that
guide the steam to succeeding row

of fixed blade which further
reduces its velocity.

DISADVANTAGES OF VELOCITY
COMPOUNDING
Due to the high steam velocity there are high friction losses
Work produced in the low-pressure stages is very less.
The designing and fabrication of blades which can withstand such high
velocities is difficult.
PRESSURE-COMPOUNDED IMPULSE
TURBINE
DISADVANTAGES OF PRESSURE
COMPOUNDING
The disadvantage is that since there is pressure drop in the nozzles, it
has to be made air-tight.
They are bigger and bulkier in size.
