Book Description
Regenerative gas turbines are attractive alternatives to diesel engines and spark ignition engines for automobiles and to diesel engines and combined-cycle en gines for power generation. Theory indicates regenerative gas turbines should achieve higher thermal efficiencies than those of diesel engines and combined cycle engines. Further, regenerative gas turbines are potentially lower in cost, require less maintenance, require less space, and pollute less than competitive systems. Regenerators can be used for exhaust-gas heat exchange or for intercooling in gas-turbine systems. As an exhaust-gas heat exchanger, a regenerator recovers heat from the exhaust and uses it to preheat the compressed air before the compressed air enters the combustor. Preheating of the compressed air permits a small heat input to the combustor for a given power output of the engine. As an intercooler, a regenerator cools the gas between compressor stages. Less work is required to compress cool gas than is required to compress warm gas. Therefore, a regenerator intercooler can reduce the required work input to the compressor. Thus, regenerators can be used to increase the thermal efficiencies and power outputs of gas turbines. the backbones of high-performance re High-performance regenerators are generative gas turbines. In the past, lack of understanding of regenerator per formance has led to sub-optimal engine designs. Now this book gives com prehensive regenerator information. With this book, the designer can design regenerators that will yield gas turbines with maximum thermal efficiencies.

Book Description
This report describes the work accomplished during the 12-month Phase I portion of a 32-month program for the advancement of toroidal rotary regenerator technology for small gas turbine engines. The regenerator component work included analytical and experimental evaluation of candidate heat transfer surfaces where previous data did not exist; experimental determination of matrix airflow distribution and corrective measures; and refinement of seal system components, including all-metal inner diameter seals. The optimum matrix and seal configurations determined from these component tests were evaluated in an existing regenerator which was run at conditions simulating small gas turbine operation. As a result of these component investigations, major improvements in regenerator technology were made and were incorporated into the design of a flight-weight high-effectiveness toroidal rotary regenerator designed during Phase I.
