--------------------------------------------------

The turbine block is a housing which contains the turbine(s) it- or themselves along with ancillary equipment such as a condenser, feed tank, water pump, etc. For example: http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/4651519.html
Sorry, my original explanation (the building ...) was misleading. But seemingly not the answer itself.
