;
At the present time the ASME Performance Test Codes do not address the testing of geothermal turbines that contain non-condensable gases in the inlet steam. This paper presents a method for conducting performance tests for this class of turbine. The determination of the separate quantities of steam and non-condensable gases as well as their respective enthalpies is necessary to the calculation for determination of compliance with the guarantees.
