This paper describes the results of cold flow turbine rig tests carried out on the original and redesigned compressor turbines of an industrial gas turbine engine. Some details of the aerodynamic design of the latest variant, a brief description of the advanced technology design methods used in this design, and a description of the test facility are included. Bulk stage performance and detail rotor exit radial-circumferential traverse results are presented. These test results demonstrate that the design point stage efficiency of the redesigned compressor turbine is about six percentage points higher than that of the original design.

A 5MW-gas turbine engine (DGT-5) for power generation is currently under development by Doosan Heavy Industries, funded under a national R&D program. Tests of its combustor performance are carried out by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI). The combustor is a Dry Low NOx (DLN) type premixed combustor consisting of dual radial swirl burners, air-cooled liner, transition piece, and torch system. It uses natural gas as fuel. Measured characteristics of the combustor include emissions, pressure pulsation, and exit temperature distribution. The optimal operation point of the combustor is found by investigating parameters such as the fuel ratio between the pilot and the main burner and various total fuel rates. The test results show that the combustor performance satisfies the requirements for a gas turbine system. The following results are obtained from the test: pressure loss<4.3; NOx emissions<20ppm; PF<7.6%; Pressure pulsation amplitude <2kPa at low pressure (3bar, a), 100% load and FR 0.2 conditions.

Industrial Gas Turbine

An industrial gas turbine can run on a wide variety of fuels to produce power. Depending on the fuel composition and resulting properties, specifically the hydrogen–carbon ratio, the available output power, operability, and emissions of the engine can vary significantly. This study is an examination of how different fuels can affect the output characteristics of Solar Turbines Incorporated industrial engines and highlights the benefits of using fuels with higher hydrogen–carbon ratios including higher power, higher efficiency, and lower carbon emissions. This study also highlights critical combustion operability issues that need to be considered such as auto-ignition, flashback, blowout, and combustion instabilities that become more prominent when varying the hydrogen–carbon ratio significantly. Our intent is to provide a clear and concise reference to edify the reader examining attributes of fuels with different properties and how natural gas is superior to other fossil fuels with lower hydrogen carbon ratios in terms of carbon emissions, power, and efficiency.
