Design and Development of a Major Engine Component (Compressor) for a 60-kW Turbine Generator Set.

Abstract

This report documents the design and development of an advanced gas turbine compressor suitable for application to a future military 60-kW turbine-driven generator set. In addition, a gas turbine engine test rig was designed and tested which used the new compressor. The engine test rig confirmed the performance of the new high technology compressor and demonstrated that the innovations incorporated in the test rig make it the basis for a prototype engine which can be developed as a direct replacement for the T-62T-32 engine used in the EMU-30/E generator set.
