THE ERDA/CHRYSLER UPGRADED GAS TURBINE ENGINE-OBJECTIVES AND DESIGN

The final task of this program is to design, build, and demonstrate an Upgraded Engine. The design been accomplished and is described in this paper. It utilizes a number of improvements developed and verified on the Chrysler Sixth Generation "Baseline" engines, e.g. variable inlet guide vanes, water injection, ceramic regenerators, an integrated electronic control system, a free-rotor arrangement, a low emissions fixed geometry burner, and linerless insulation. The design also incorporates a gas bearing on the rotor and improvements in arrangement and mechanical design. /GMRL/
