TurboVision was founded in 1992 and celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2012. We are a consulting and design group based in Miami, Florida.
TurboVision has helped its customers meet market needs at a sizable competitive advantage by carrying out and/or guiding innovative new product development, product cost reduction, technology development, and new manufacturing process development for heavy-duty industrial and aircraft gas turbine engines, other industrial turbo-machinery, and other power systems.
TurboVision has created innovative new engine products by applying well-proven engineering methods and technology, and by adapting aircraft engine technology to industrial engines.
TurboVision has a highly experienced world-class engineering team consisting of 30 members whose expertise covers the entire gas turbine system and key manufacturing processes, and other industrial process and power system disciplines.

TurboVision has developed a loyal worldwide customer base, including, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (in areas of heavy-duty industrial engines, aircraft engines, blast furnace gas fired gas turbine combined cycles, integrated gasification combined cycles and syngas processing, wind turbines, and other power systems), Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America, Inc., Mitsubishi Power Systems, Inc., Dia Precision Casting Company, Ltd., Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries, Ltd., and Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd.
Design, manufacture, test and develop the world's best gas turbine engines and components, and other power systems to achieve a sizeable competitive advantage in the worldwide marketplace
Build and upgrade the customer’s own in-house design systems and manufacturing process capabilities
Train the customer’s own engineering personnel using the apprenticeship training system where less experienced engineers learn from more experienced engineers
TurboVision and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (“MHI”) have had a long term alliance since early 1994 which, according to a 2006 Mitsubishi press release, “has improved considerably the competitiveness of Mitsubishi’s industrial engine products, including, its successful F-class and G-class engines, its advanced H-class engine, and other advanced industrial engines which may be introduced in the near future.” The 2006 Mitsubishi press release also stated that this alliance “has produced for Mitsubishi the highest efficiency compressors in the industry, durable turbines, dry low NOx and durable combustors, efficient and robust sealing and secondary flow systems, innovative strategic planning for future industrial engine products, novel engine cost reductions and cost reduction methods, rapid design systems with world-class fidelity including computational fluid dynamic based design systems, engineering personnel trained in advanced gas turbine design procedures, turbine part investment castings with substantially increased casting yields, thermal barrier coatings with improved life on combustor and turbine parts, and hot part repair processes with lower costs and higher quality.”
In 2005, Mitsubishi signed a five-year contract extension with TurboVision for TurboVision to continue to provide a broad range of engineering design and manufacturing services for MHI’s industrial gas turbines. Mr. Noriaki Fuseya, President and CEO of Mitsubishi Power Systems (“MPS”), said that “MPS and MHI greatly appreciate the efforts of the TurboVision team over the last 12 years to make Mitsubishi engines more competitive which have contributed to Mitsubishi’s increased worldwide market share, and we look forward to continued success with the new five-year agreement.”
Our product, Proven Technology Customized Blades or ProTec ™ Blades is unique in the turbomachinery world in that our compressor or blower airfoils are custom tailored for each individual customer to best meet their specific blast furnace or process needs. This results in a different set of optimum airfoils for every blower model, and sometimes different designs for the same blower model. Our airfoil designs are based on decades of successful experience and are much superior to the OEM’s design both in performance and reliability.
By designing and validating the world’s highest efficiency aircraft and industrial engine compressors, TurboVision has the necessary expertise and experience to improve substantially an existing axial compressor or blower by redesigning its airfoils (ProTec™ Blades) and modifying its control system (ProTec™ Controls) with a new add-on customized control unit that continuously minimizes the energy input to the blower and steam turbine drive unit while ensuring surge-free and stable operation.
The exact benefits vary on a case-to-case basis and are custom tailored to best meet each individual customer’s specific furnace needs.
TurboVision ensures high reliability. Commercial jet aircraft engines are typically 15 to 150 times more reliable than industrial engines due to the need for extreme safety, and the members of TurboVision have extensive experience designing those aircraft engines. That experience is reflected in every set of ProTec™ Blades and ProTec™ Controls, thus incorporating ProTec™ Blades and Controls will improve blower reliability. TurboVision engineers also have extensive experience designing heavy-duty industrial compressors that must operate for long periods in extreme environments, including compressors that pump blast furnace gas, so we understand what is necessary to ensure the airfoils and controls are reliable.
As a support option, TurboVision offers our ProTec™ Remote Monitoringsystem. This real-time “expert” system monitors the operation of anything from individual blower units to entire blast furnace systems 24/7/365. Not only can the system warn of impending problems long before they become real problems to facilitate robust preventative maintenance, but it can also identify the most likely cause of the problem. Additionally, because the ProTec™ Remote Monitoring system is physics-based, it can further optimize blast furnace system processes continually for increased productivity and reduced cost.The advanced technology used in the ProTec™ Remote Monitoring system is the same as used for real-time remote monitoring of commercial jet engines where problems are diagnosed in-flight, and any required maintenance actions are usually in the hands of the ground crew before the plane lands. Such monitoring systems also continually minimize engine life cycle costs by avoiding problems and extending maintenance intervals.
ProTec™ Remote Monitoring is like having highly trained and experienced experts on-site 24/7/365 continuously monitoring blast furnace systems and other systems.
Mitsubishi Signs Five-Year Contract Extension for TurboVision to Provide Engineering Services for Mitsubishi’s Industrial Gas Turbines
Mitsubishi Power Systems, Inc. (“MPS”) of Orlando, Florida, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.
