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 9):
A method of manufacturing plurality of turbines wherein each turbine in said plurality of turbines is manufactured starting with one of a plurality of substantially identical turbine hoods, each turbine hood having a cavity for receiving a rotor stage and a floor with a first thickness, wherein the floor defines a portion of the cavity and the cavity has an inside diameter D 1 , the method comprising;\n machining material away from the floor of a first one of said plurality of turbine hoods to increase the inside diameter D 1  of the cavity to an inside diameter D 2 , where D 2  is selected to permit the cavity to accommodate a first rotor stage having a radial height H 1 , the first rotor stage being designed and sized to be positionable in the cavity of the first one of the plurality of universal turbine hoods proximate the floor of the cavity; and machining material away from the floor of a second one of said plurality of turbine hoods to increase the inside diameter D 1  of the cavity to an inside diameter D 3 , wherein D 3  is different than D 2  and is selected to permit the cavity to accommodate a second rotor stage having a radial height H 2  that is different than radial height H 1 , the second rotor stage designed and sized to be positionable in the cavity of the second one of the plurality of turbine hoods proximate the floor of the cavity.
