Vapour turbine
Vapour turbine operating with geothermal vapours containing corrosive agents or aggressive substances such as chlorides and/or sulfides in particular. The turbine comprises a series of stator blades and a series of rotor blades, each stator blade of the series of stator blades comprises a surfacing consisting of a nickel alloy containing a quantity of nickel ranging from 54% to 58% by weight to avoid the washing of the geothermal vapours, at the same time maintaining a high useful life of the series of stator blades and vapour turbine.
