The Industrial Jet Gas Turbine for Base Load Applications

The application of jet gas turbines to industrial uses of all types has been a successful venture in its short history of 12 years. Through this effort, aircraft technologies and practices have been found to blend well to the requirements of the stationary ground-based gas turbine. For those unfamiliar with the subject, the paper presents an overview of the jet gas turbine as an industrial product, the applications and gas generator models involved in this activity, and the maintenance concept, which is unique in the industry.
