INTRODUCTION TO GAS TURBINES:A gas turbine engine is a type of internal combustion engine. Essentially, the engine can
be viewed as an energy conversion device that converts energy stored in the fuel to
useful mechanical energy in the form of rotational power. The term gas refers to the
ambient air that is taken into the engine and used as the working medium in the energy
conversion process.
This air is first drawn into the engine where it is compressed, mixed with fuel and
ignited. The resulting hot gas expands at high velocity through a series of airfoil-shaped
blades transferring energy created from combustion to turn an output shaft. The residual
thermal energy in the hot exhaust gas can be harnessed for a variety of industrial
processes.

Basic Components:-

Compressor
The compressor takes in outside air and then compacts and pressurizes the air
molecules through a series of rotating and stationary compressor blades
Combustor
In the combustor, fuel is added to the pressurized air molecules and ignited.
The heated molecules expand and move at high velocity into the turbine section
Turbine
The turbine converts the energy from the high velocity gas into useful rotational power
though expansion of the heated compressed gas over a series of turbine rotor blades.
Output Shaft & Gearbox
Rotational power from the turbine section is delivered to driven equipment through the
output shaft via a speed reduction gearbox.
Exhaust
The engines exhaust section directs the spent gas out of the turbine section and into
the atmosphere.

FUTURE SCOPE ON GAS TURBINES:Solar Turbines

Since Solar entered the industrial gas turbine business in 1960 with the Saturn turbine,
Solars fleet has grown to more than 15,000 units worldwide. These units have logged
more than 2 billion hours in more than 100 countries in some of the toughest, most
challenging arctic, desert, tropical and offshore environments. This unparalleled
experience gives testimony to the mature design and wide user acceptance of Solars
products.
Solars compact, lightweight and durable gas turbines offer the highest thermal
efficiencies in their power classes. Other advantages include ease of transport and
installation, long life, high performance, availability and reliability. Units in the
Centaur, Mercury, Taurus, Mars and Titan gas turbine families are available
with Solars pollution prevention SoLoNOx dry low emissions combustion system. As
of December 2008, customers installed or ordered more than 2000 gas turbines with
SoLoNOx, and those units have logged approximately 61 million operating hours and
saved over 1.4 million tons of emissions. Solars experience with dry, lean-premixed
combustion technology, designed to meet low emissions regulations, is unmatched by any
other company in the gas turbine industry.
Solar offers complete solutions from engineering specifications to machinery
management for your 1-60 MW power needs. Our products are marketed and serviced

from 43 locations around the world. We are dedicated to providing quality products and
prompt, comprehensive customer support such as field service, overhaul, refurbishment,
certified parts and technical training to remain the industry leader for industrial gas
turbine power.
