Tdi Turbostarttm TDI TURBOSTART TM TDI TURBOSTART TM AIR STARTERS FOR AIR STARTERS FOR GAS TURBINE ENGINES GAS TURBINE ENGINES Derived from Aerospace. Designed for Industry. Since 1958, TDI has been a significant player in the design, testing and manufacturing of turbine-related machinery for the world’s most sophisticated aircraft. So it’s no surprise that when TDI engineers put their minds to designing starters for industrial gas turbines, their TurboStart motors quickly garnered recognition for their power, reliability and efficiency. The honing and discipline of a demanding aerospace industry has enabled TDI to establish new standards for industrial turbine starters based on the concepts of more power and smaller packages. The result is a line of starters that display the precision and quality of aerospace components, yet designed to match the harsh environ-mental challenges facing industrial gas turbine engines. Our engineers introduced their first industrial gas turbine starter in 1984. Twelve models and hundreds of refinements later, they continue to introduce products that break new ground for power and reliability for industrial gas turbine starters. www.tdiairstarters.com Aerospace Quality.

The present study investigates the combined effect of these performance deterioration phenomena on the health and overall performance of a three-shaft gas turbine engine (GE LM1600). For this purpose, a steady-state simulation model of the turbine was developed using a commercial software named GasTurb 12. In addition, the effect of an inlet air cooling (IAC) technique on the gas turbine performance was examined. The design point results were validated using literature results and data from the manufacturer’s catalog. The gas turbine exhibited significant deterioration in power output and thermal efficiency by 21.09% and 7.92%, respectively, due to the augmented high inlet air temperature and fouling. However, the integration of the inlet air cooling technique helped in improving the power output, thermal efficiency, and surge margin by 29.67%, 7.38%, 32.84%, respectively. Additionally, the specific fuel consumption (SFC) was reduced by 6.88%.

  • Appendix B Supporting Material for BACT Review for Electrical Generation Technologies
    Appendix B Supporting Material for BACT Review For Electrical Generation Technologies I. INTRODUCTION Discussed in detail below are recommended emission levels for electrical generation sources using small gas turbines (rated at less than 50 MW in size), reciprocating engines using fossil fuel, and gas turbines / reciprocating engines using waste gas. The discussion below is based upon the requirements for determining Best Available Control Technology (BACT) in California and that BACT in California is equivalent to federal requirements for lowest achievable emission rate (LAER). BACT is generally specified as the most stringent emission level of these three alternative minimum requirements: 1) the most stringent emission control contained in any approved State Implementation Plan (SIP); 2) the most effective control achieved in practice; and 3) the most efficient emission control technique found by the district to be both technologically feasible and cost effective. This appendix provides the basis for the information presented in Chapter V (BACT for Electrical Generation Technologies). This appendix addresses BACT determinations for oxides of nitrogen (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOC), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter (PM). For the most effective control achieved in practice, examples were provided of emission levels specified in preconstruction permits issued by California districts and other states, and the most stringent emission levels achieved in practice. For each example cited, the following information is included: the name of the facility the equipment is located at, the applicable California district or State making the determination, a description of the basic equipment, and the method of control used to reduce emissions. In addition, for the control techniques required, the status of the permit (authority to construct/permit to construct or permit to operate) and the emission levels established by the permitting agency are provided.

  • Gas Turbine Engines.Pdf
    GAS TURBINE ENGINES The simplified operation of the gas turbine engine is as follows: 1. Air is taken in, and compressed to a high pressure. 2. The compressed air is then mixed with a fuel and ignited, producing high-velocity, high- pressure gas. 3. This gas is then used to turn a turbine, providing useful work, and the exhaust gases emitted, sometimes through a nozzle. The turbine itself is used to power the compressor, through the use of a coupling shaft between turbine and compressor. For this reason a starter motor must be employed in order to bring the engine up to speed when starting. Below is a diagrammatic representation of a gas turbine engine showing the fundamental processes: A useful way of looking at the workings of the gas turbine engine is to view it as following the same process as a reciprocating IC engine. Air is drawn in, compressed, ignited, expanded and exhausted in the both the reciprocating IC and gas turbine engines. The difference is that in a gas turbine engine these processes are not carried out in one cylinder, but rather are spread over different components of the engine. The three main stages of the engine are now examined in further detail. Compression In this stage either centrifugal or axial compressors are employed to compress the ambient air to a high pressure. Some of this air will then be fed into the combustion chamber, whilst some will be used to cool the turbine. The ratio of final pressure to ambient pressure is called the pressure ratio and for a modern engine may be as high as 40:1.Centrifugal compressors, although cheaper to manufacture, are less widely used because they are unable to achieve such high pressure ratios.
