Pratt and Whitney FT8 Gas Turbine
Pratt and Whitney FT8 Gas Turbine
(OP)
Pratt and Whitney are trying to sell us an FT8 Gas Turbine which was designed for 50 hz. Our system is a 60 hz system. The FT8 is designed such that the power turbine is a free power turbine, ie. it is only aerodynamically linked to the gas generator. What are the issues we should be concerned about if any?? deration? effciency?? Please give some advice.
