The turbine converts the potential energy of gas to mechanical work of the rotor that can be used by the consuming device.

Main requirements:

  • high efficiency
  • reliability
  • long service life at high temperature

Our experience: The high temperature non-cooled turbine of the VK-2500 engine was based on the TV3-117 model. New materials made it possible to increase the gas temperature before the turbine without changing the geometry of the flow section and increase the takeoff power by 10 percent compared to the original model.

Further improvements: To develop an advanced cooling system, to use new materials including cermets, reduce the number of stages, reduce the weight of the turbine and streamline its design using modern engineering methods, materials and technologies.
