Evaluation of an Ammonia Fueled Combine-cycle Gas Turbine Power System on Maritime Usage

Ammonia fuel has been widely considered as an attractive solution for reducing the green house gas emissions over recent years. Adapting ammonia as fuel on ships would highly reduce the carbon footprint of international shipping and off-shore transportation. Among the different systems currently under development for carbon-free power production...

Test-cell & On-wing Turbofan Performance Comparison at KLM Engine Services

After maintenance, turbofan engines are subjected to a performance acceptance test in an indoor test-cell to demonstrate that corrected performance thresholds are met. The same indicators are also monitored after on-wing installation. Despite corrections for operation conditions, differences are observed between test-cell and subsequent on-wing...

Gas Turbines for Heat Generation: Conceptual Comparison & Design for Stack Loss Reduction

Firing industrial installations, like boilers, with a cogeneration gas turbine instead of a classic burner have several beneficial aspects. A cogeneration system allows for a more efficient utilization of energy and lowered emissions. What makes such a system especially interesting is that the revenue of the generated electrical power can...
