GAS TURBINE REGENERATOR FOULING INVESTIGATION.

Abstract

A report on the progress of an experimental investigation of fouling effects in compact gas turbine regenerator matrices is presented. Fouling effects on heat transfer rates and pressure drop characteristics for a number of matrix geometries and two exhaust gas temperatures are presented. Preliminary results indicate gas side surface temperature and gas composition as the primary para meters with geometric effects occupying a lesser role. The effect of fouling on pressure drop characteristics is found to be more pronounced than the effect on heat transfer. Plans for continuation of the investigation are presented. (Author)
