Construction: Impulse turbine is simpler, less expensive and does not need to be pressure proof. It can operate with any pressure stream but is considerably less efficient. Impulse turbine consist of one fixed set of nozzle mounted on a stationary diaphragm that orient the steam flow into high speed jets, which is followed by one set of moving blade ring as shown in Fig. for a single stage impulse turbine.
