Industrial steam turbines

A 20-page, color brochure from Elliott describes its YR standardized steam turbines that are designed to provide customers with great flexibility in finding prompt, cost-efficient answers for a wide range of production requirements. The single-stage models are rated up to 3,500 hp. The Multi-YR turbine product line is rated to 10,000 hp, and produces more horsepower without additional steam. It can be mounted in many areas where single-stage steam turbines currently operate.
