Parsons marine steam turbines. Diagram from above showing the arrangement of Parsons marine steam turbines in a ship's hull. At centre are three turbines,and at right and left are condensors for the steam. High-pressure steam is used to directly drive the turbines,which are connected to the ship's propellers. This design was produced by the Parsons Marine Steam Turbine Company,a British shipbuilding company founded in 1897 by Charles Algernon Parsons (1854-1931). Parsons is credited with inventing the first steam turbine | |
