Industrial Turbines

Our Used Turbines for Sale

At LCEC, we carry many types of turbines to fit your industrial applications, including:

Steam Turbines

In a steam turbine, a heat source such as gas, coal or solar brings water to a high enough temperature that it converts to steam. The steam flows through the turbine’s blades to generate kinetic energy. Some of the common uses of steam turbines include:

• Generating electricity: Steam turbines are highly efficient at converting thermal energy into mechanical energy, which can be used to generate electricity. They provide a cost-effective way to generate power in high-demand environments.
• Driving compressors: Compressors are essential for various chemical processes, including distillation, air separation and refrigeration. You can use steam turbines to provide a consistent and reliable source of power for this equipment.
• Providing mechanical power: You can use a steam turbine to create mechanical power for processes such as pumping, mixing and grinding.

Gas Turbines

A gas turbine compresses air and heats it to create hot gas. The hot gas travels through the blades to generate high speeds and build up kinetic energy. This turbine type is often used during peak loads or as a standby power solution for smaller power units. You can use them in combination with steam turbines to generate power efficiently.

A portion of the heat that your gas turbine generates can be used for refrigeration or air conditioning, providing a combined heat, power and cooling solution. Some applications for gas turbines include:

• Power generation: Gas turbines are common in power plants because they can quickly ramp up to full capacity, making them ideal to meet peak electricity demands. Their combined cycle systems enhance efficiency by using waste heat to produce steam for additional power generation.
• Aviation propulsion: Gas turbines provide the thrust needed for aircraft to take off and maintain flight.
• Industrial processes: These turbines drive pumps and compressors in various industrial processes, including oil and gas extraction, manufacturing and petrochemical production.

Hydraulic Turbines

Hydraulic turbines harness the energy of moving water to spin the blades and generate power. These turbines are most commonly seen in dams to provide power for a general area. Some other applications include:

• Irrigation and water management: These turbines can drive pumps for irrigation systems, moving water efficiently to agricultural fields.
• Flood control and management: Turbines are integrated into some hydraulic systems to regulate water levels and manage excess runoff. They ensure safety and stability in areas susceptible to flooding while providing opportunities for energy generation.
