Turbomachinery International’s July/August 2024 tackles turbines from sea and sky to
offshore, land, and hydropower-based applications, including industrial and aeroderivative
gas turbines, steam, and hydro turbines.

Along with our bi-monthly industry news, which includes a tribute to a gas turbine legend
Ivan Rice, this issue kicks off with From Sea to Sky: Turbomachinery in Military and
Commercial Applications, a look at gas turbines and compressors in the military, including
aero and naval, and commercial and offshore applications as well as upkeep and repair
considerations.

Our annual gas turbine sales report segments industrial and aeroderivative turbine sales
and looks at the impact of disruptive factors, such as international conflicts, and AI data
centers.

The summer issue also dives into hydro and steam turbines. In A History of
Turbomachinery and Hydropower, readers get a fact-filled introduction to hydropower
generation in the Ontario area and insights GE Vernova’s Head of Hydro Power
Engineering on how hydropower plants use complex hydro turbines and other rotating
machines to electrify regions worldwide. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries lays out several
case studies on how implementing phased array ultrasonic testing in steam turbine
inspection and maintenance is an evolution from traditional maintenance that can ensure
efficiency and reliability.

In May, Joseph Bonafin, Sales and Business Development Manager at Turboden, came
on the TurboTime Podcast to talk about turbomachinery at geothermal power plants. Our
Q&A features part of our conversation with Turboden, a part of Mitsubishi Heavy
Industries Group, and its insights into geothermal power generation, how these plants are
designed, recent advancements, and how geothermal can help decarbonize the energy
landscape.

Shell provides a step-by-step guide to prevent varnish formations in turbine lubrication

systems, primarily focused on reducing the chance of varnish before it takes hold. And
Regal Rexnord, our Vendor Spotlight, shares its portfolio of diaphragms, disc couplings,
and more.

This issue’s Turbo Tips offers a series of guidelines and technical notes on steam turbine
control systems throughout each phase: start-up, shutdown, and parallel operation while
the Myth Busters dispel the mystery surrounding supercritical CO2.
