F01D

NON-POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT MACHINES OR ENGINES, e.g. STEAM TURBINES (machines or engines for liquids F03; non-positive displacement pumps F04D)

Description

F01D covers non-positive-displacement turbomachines, primarily steam turbines and gas turbines, where fluid flow through rotating blades generates mechanical power without requiring positive displacement. This classification encompasses the design, construction, and operation of reaction and impulse turbines, including blade configurations, rotor assemblies, casing arrangements, and control systems. It applies to both stationary industrial turbines and mobile applications, but excludes positive-displacement engines (such as reciprocating engines covered under F01B) and compressors or pumps (classified separately in other sections).
