GasgeneratorTurbinen

GasgeneratorTurbinen, also known as gas generator turbines or simply gas generators, are a crucial component in many gas turbine engines. They are essentially a self-contained unit responsible for producing a high-pressure, high-temperature gas flow. This gas flow is then directed to a separate power turbine, which extracts energy from it to produce mechanical work. A gas generator typically comprises a compressor and a combustion chamber. The compressor increases the pressure of the intake air, which is then mixed with fuel in the combustion chamber and ignited. The resulting combustion produces hot, expanding gases. These gases are then channeled through a turbine section within the gas generator itself. This turbine section's primary role is to drive the compressor, creating a self-sustaining cycle. The exhaust from this gas generator turbine stage, still at significant pressure and temperature, is then fed to the downstream power turbine. This design allows for flexibility, as the power turbine can be optimized for different applications, such as driving generators for electricity production, propellers for aircraft, or pumps in pipelines, independently of the gas generator's operating parameters. This modularity is a key advantage of the gasgeneratorTurbinen concept.
