and technologies derived from the turbine technology can be used to various
applications in related industries.
- The turbine technology of KIMM gas competitiveness to global leaders in power
generation field utilizing the waste heat and renewable energy.
Technical Differentiation
- Equipped with total solutions of turbine design technology (aerodynamics, structure,
cooling, rotordynamics, mechanical design) to satisfy the target performance under
various operating conditions
- Equipped with the secondary flow management technology to keep stable operation
of the turbine under high temperature, high pressure, and high speed conditions
- Equipped with turbine operation technology at design and off-design points
- Miniaturization of turbine size and weight is possible depending on the requirement
of applications. The technology can be applied to generate high quality energy
from typical energy sources (e.g. ultra micro gas turbine, ocean thermal energy
conversion turbine, etc.)
Excellence of Technology
- ORC (organic Rankine cycle) turbine for waste heat recovery power generation: The
200 kW ORC turbine prototype for power generation was developed by using own
domestic technology, and Korea became the 4th country in the world having the
midsize-class ORC technology. Field tests using actual waste heat were conducted at two domestic sites, and the performance test results showed thermal efficiency
over 10%, which proved world’s top-class technology.
- Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) turbine: The first 20 kW OTEC turbine in
Korea was developed. The target performance was obtained in the verification test
using deep sea water (Deep Seawater Center, Goseong, Gangwon-do)
- Ultra micro gas turbine (UMGT): The test result of the ultra-microturbine generator
of KIMM was the first report in the world for below 1 kW class. UMGT technology of
KIMM using liquid fuel is world-first and has world-top level.
- Turbine for supercritical CO2 generation: A drive turbine driving CO2 pump and
power turbine for supercritical 200 kW CO2 power system in Korea were developed
for the first time.
