Abstract:
A turbine and a turbine-generator device for use in electricity generation. The turbine has a universal design and so may be relatively easily modified for use in connection with generators having a rated power output in the range of 50 KW to 5 MW. Such modifications are achieved, in part, through use of a modular turbine cartridge built up of discrete rotor and stator plates sized for the desired application with turbine brush seals chosen to accommodate radial rotor movements from the supported generator. The cartridge may be installed and removed from the turbine relatively easily for maintenance or rebuilding. The rotor housing is designed to be relatively easily machined to dimensions that meet desired operating parameters.

Claim (Index 15):
A method according to  claim 9 , wherein at least one of the plurality of turbine hoods includes a backplate opposite the floor and a diffuser exit passage between the backplate and the floor, the diffuser exit passage having a width l 1 , the at least one of the plurality of turbine hoods further including a hood wall that is axially spaced a distance l 4  from the backplate, further wherein the backplate is separate from, and releasably attachable to, the turbine hood, further including the step of selecting the backplate so the distance l 4  ranges from one half to four times the width l 1 .
