Microturbine characteristics

• Electricity power output 25 – 500 kW

• Market:

- Distributed generation

- Standby power- Combined Heat and Power generation (CHP)

- Direct mechanical drive for air conditioning system

• Simplified design for mass production

- Radial flow compressors

- Low pressure ratios defined by single – or possibly two-stage compression

- Minimal use of vane rotor cooling

- Use of materials that are amendable to low cost production• Recuperation of exhaust heat for air preheating - Electrical efficiency 25–30%

• Very high shaft rotational speed (>40 000 rpm)

• Direct drive high-frequency alternator

Regenerator 

+

• High efficiency

• Compact and low weight

• Suitable for ceramics• Can be used for high temperatures

-

• Difficult to seal - lifing problems

• Leakage problems

• 5% leakage will reduce power with > 12.5%

• 5% leakage will reduce system efficiency by >4%-units• Leakage means reduced engine life due to increasing hot parts

temperature. Ex.: Increased combustor liner temperature

Recuperator 

+

• Reliable and durable

• Close to zero leakage

-

• Reduced efficiency, approx. 90%

• Can be bulky

• More complex piping can mean increased weight

• Increased volume and exposed area require improved insulation - or

innovative design
