The Turbine hall' or turbine building is a building that is a part of any steam cycle power plant which houses a number of components vital to the generation of electricity from the steam that comes from the boiler. The components in the turbine hall typically comprise of the turbines, moisture separators, reheaters, electric generator, and/or exciter. A turbine hall is typically extremely loud and hot.
In nuclear power plants
Boiling water reactors present unique challenges since the water going through the turbines is radioactive. This means that the the turbine hall has to be slightly contained and much unique maintenance must be preformed. A typical plant will house one high pressure turbine and two low pressure turbines.
