Compounding in a steam turbine helps reduce the speed of the turbine and makes it work more efficiently. Instead of using all the steam energy in one go, it spreads it across stages. This makes the turbine safer, smoother, and longer-lasting.
That’s why many Small steam turbine manufacturers use compounding — it gives better control, less wear on parts, and improved performance even in smaller setups.
