governor
It regulates the speed of the Turbine
It operates a built in valve in the steam inlet line
It is either Mechanical or Hydraulic
In Mechanical type, the fly weights open out or close in,
which inturn opens or shuts the steam inlet vlave thereby
increasing or decreasing the speed respectively
In Hydraulic type, the oil pump pressure increases or
decreases raising or lowering the plunger or piston which
in turn actuates the steam valveGentech Design Center 13

TypeS oF Turbine
A. Impulse Turbine
The steam pressure at the outlet side of the blade is equal to inlet side such a turbine is termed as impulse Turbine.
B. Reaction Turbine
The steam pressure at the outlet side of the blade is less than at inlet side of the blade.

(II) PRESSURE COMPOUNDED IMPULSE TURBINE
Number of Impulse Machines in series on the same shaft, allowing the exhaust of one turbine to enter the Nozzles of the succeeding turbine. Each simple Impulse Machine would be teamed as a ‘STAGE’. Gentech Design Center 21
(III) VELOCITY COMPOUNDED IMPULSE TURBINE (CURTIS TYPE)
This type comprises of a Nozzle of a wheel with two or more rows of moving blades. There are also guide blades, suitably arranged between the moving blades and set in reverse manner.Features: More efficient, better control of speed than simple impulse turbines.
