And other mechanical drive applications. COPPUS turbines are routinely specified by the petroleum, petrochemical, chem ical, sugar, pa per, food processing and ot her indus tries th at require continuous or stand-by emergency power.
Tested reliability of the RLHA turbine makes it an ideal selection for continuous operation applications for pumps, fans and generators operating in the most demanding indus- trial environments. The RLHB offers anti-friction journal bearings, in place of the split sleeve bearings found on the RLHA, for applications where quick starts are required. The RLHB also takes advantage of oil ring or oil mist lubrication systems, eliminat- ing the need for higher cost forced feed lubrication for speeds up to 5,000 RPM. The RLVA turbine offers all the same features as the RLA with the added benefit of its space saving vertical design.

When released by the Overspeed Trip mechanism or the manual trip lever the valve is instantly closed to shut off steam. The single-seated valve will bring a fully, unloaded turbine to a complete stop. For manual resetting against full-line pressure, a pilot valve relieves unbalanced pressure.
A vailable in 8 frame sizes to meet a wide variety of applications that includes pump drives for on board ships, and pump and fan drives for oil refineries, gas pipe lines and other industries where space is limited. RLVA turbines are designed to meet API 611, NEMA and marine standards. Configurations are available for a wide range of shaft extensions, thrust bearings and flange mounting arragements.
I recently bought a Coppus steam turbine at a swap meet with intentions of running it at shows, possibly driving a generator. I work at an oil refinery and we use steam turbines all over the plant. The largest turbine we run is an 11,372 hp Worthington. Pretty neat stuff for a motorhead such as myself. Until being hired at the refinery, I was never exposed to steam turbines.they're not exactly as common as gas engines. Having been exposed to them at work, I was hoping to find one for sale someday.
Well that day came a couple weeks ago. A guy had one for sale that was not too big and it was the only time I've ever seen one for sale.sooooooo it came home with me. What I need help with is finding information on it. It's a Coopus type TF9, serial 65T748. It has a Woodward hydro-mechanical governor. I've searched using Google & Yahoo and can't really come up with any information.
Any manuals, exploded views, tech information, or anything like that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help. Dave K I worked for Coppus Engineering Corp for 35 years.
I found your request on Google. I am very familiar with the TF-9 turbine. If it has a Woodward TG governor, it has been retrofitted.
All TF turbines came with flyball governors (hence the name TF-Turbine Flyball) Somewhere around the split line of the cover/casing should be a stamped serial number. (62Txxxx) denoting the model year it was built. I have all kinds of information on all TF model turbines, they go up to the TF-22, with a 22' dia wheel. The TF turbine was discontinued in 1973 at the introduction of the RL turbine, which came stock with the Woodward TG governor.
