Gas turbine with power turbine

Gas turbines with free-running power turbines are used primarily as drive systems for widely varying power requirements in power plants and on board ships, locomotives, and motor vehicles.

• experiments relating to the function and behaviour during operating of a gas turbine in a two-shaft arrangement
• operation with power turbine and generator
• asynchronous motor with frequency converter as generator
• start-up fan to start the high-pressure turbine
• conversion of generated electrical energy into heat using four 600W braking resistors
• effective silencing at intake and exhaust for laboratory operation
• sensors record all relevant data visualised on displays in the process schematic
