Import Tips
• Provide ASME or ISO certification confirming output capacity over 40 MW to avoid reclassification
• Label entries clearly as 'vapor turbine' with steam parameters to distinguish from other engines
• Watch for pitfalls in combined-cycle setups; separate gas and steam components for accurate HTS
