Abstract At the preset 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.
