Another use of steam
turbines is in ships; their small size, low
maintenance, light weight, and low vibration are
compelling advantages. (Steam turbine locomotives
were also tested, but with limited success.) A steam
turbine is only efficient when operating in the
thousands of RPM range while application of the
power in propulsion applications may be only in the
hundreds of RPM and so requiring that expensive and
precise reduction gears must be used, although
several ships, such as Turbinia, had direct drive
from the steam turbine to the propeller shafts. This
purchase cost is offset by much lower fuel and
maintenance requirements and the small size of a
turbine when compared to a reciprocating engine
having an equivalent power. |
