GE Oil & Gas Turboexpander-generators
Turboexpandergenerators A turboexpander expands process fluid from the inlet pressure to the discharge pressure in two steps: first through variable inlet guide vanes and then through the radial wheel. As the accelerated process fluid moves from the inlet guide vanes to the expander wheel, kinetic energy is converted into useful mechanical energy – extracting energy from the process fluid and cooling it down. The mechanical energy is available to drive other process equipment – in this case, a generator.
