Panu Kurronen, CTO at The Switch, presents our high-speed, solid-rotor technology in Turbomachinery International’s “Ask the Expert” video and article.
He explains the origins of the solid-rotor concept, what the advantages are over conventional high-speed machinery and the applications that have benefited most from The Switch’s technology.
Kurronen traces the evolution of solid-rotor technology from its beginnings as a research project at Lappeenranta University of Technology to its proven success in applications such as vacuum pumps, high-speed compressors and heat pumps.
Thanks to its simple and robust design, The Switch solid-rotor technology delivers exceptional performance in megawatt-class applications, enabling higher power output at increased speeds with outstanding reliability.
Since the first prototype was introduced in 1997, The Switch technology has achieved an outstanding record of zero rotor failures.
