What is torque converter in gas turbine?

A torque converter in a gas turbine is a device that allows the engine to operate efficiently at various speeds while providing the necessary torque to drive the load. It typically uses fluid dynamics to transfer power from the turbine to the load, enabling smooth acceleration and deceleration without the need for a direct mechanical connection. This results in improved performance and efficiency, particularly in applications requiring variable speed operation. Torque converters are essential in systems where the engine speed may not directly match the load requirements.
