Low NOx combustors are designed, optimized and promoted extensively for both performance and profit-based reasons. The extent of the profit they represent varies with the demographics of the location in question. Specifically: 1. In the U.S., as flameless combustor designers are quick to point out, their ultra low single digit NOx designs succeed in getting their operators legally permitted (to commence power production) in some cases a few months ahead of their rivals, who may have quite respectable NOx levels ranging from 9 to 15 ppm. This represents a considerable amount of revenue. 2. Both the US and Canada deal with emissions trading. Regardless of any opinion on the technical wisdom of such measures with respect to the overall atmospheric load, low NOx abilities represents revenue to an operator who can then sell his “spare” credits. 3. In Scandinavian countries, operators pay taxes per unit weight of NOx and SOx emissions. This source of revenue method may spread through the western world. 4. Low NOx means that other emissions such as CO and CO2 are also lowered. CO2 taxes may soon be reality in global, particularly western world terms. In this aspect, once again Scandinavian countries point the way for other operators. 5. End users may also note that reduced NOx generally means lower TITs, hence reduced wear on hot section components and therefore reduced costs per fired hour. Fig. 33. A GE LM6000 partially assembled. (Source: GE Power Systems) Turbine module The kinetic energy of the gases entering the turbine is transformed into shaft horsepower (see Figures 34 through 38) which is then used to drive the compressor and other support systems (via accessory system gears. Note that this turbine, combustor and compressor modules form an assembly that is termed the “gas generator”. In power generation applications, the entire gas turbine is a gas generator that is then mechanically coupled either directly or via a gear box, to the generator that in turn is coupled to the grid or power supply system. However, in land based mechanical drive applications, we read earlier that a free power turbine rotates downstream of the gas generator at the turbine end and that it is on a different shaft system (with or without a gear box) together with the machinery (typically compressors or pumps) it turns. Aviation turboprop or helicopter applications have a transmission system (gearbox) that may be located at the compressor end of the gas turbine, to conduct torque to the propellers or helicopter rotors. The main turbine airfoil design type used in gas turbines today is axial flow design. Some manufacturers however, use a radial inflow design. The radial inflow turbine is rugged, less complex, less expensive and easier to manufacture than the axial-flow turbine. This radial flow turbine design is a “backwards” version of the centrifugal flow compressor. Similarly, radial turbine rotors used in small engines have a high efficiency relative to their weight and the space they occupy. 26PDF Image | GAS TURBINES IN SIMPLE CYCLE COMBINED CYCLE APPLICATIONS
