Micro, Industrial, and Advanced Gas Turbines Employing Recuperators

摘要: Recuperators increase system efficiencies in gas turbine engines by recovering exhaust heat to the compressor discharge stream. In this study, performance and economics of recuperation are evaluated presented for a practical range effectiveness with typical pressure-loss-fractions. The strong correlation between recuperator cost engine specific-power is shown, using designed manufactured at highly automated facility Ingersoll-Rand. This commercially available also described, specific emphasis on features contributing its exceptional durability.Copyright © 2003 ASME
