Siemens Westinghouse makes land-based steam and combustion turbine engines for plant applications such as the production of nuclear power, conventional coal power and natural gas power that burns gas directly. For combustion turbines, very high pressure and high-velocity combustion gases rotate the turbine engines at 3600 rpm, creating blade speeds in excess of 1000 mph and generating as much as 230 MW for a single turbine generator. The Phoenix camera from Indigo Systems captures medium-wavelength IR images, such as these turbine blades in operation to help monitor the status of the...Read full article
