LM2500 gas turbine , i need help 1

[ferchuvicente]

Dear all,

I would like to know if it possibe in realtu upgrade a LM 2500 gas turbine in a open simple bryton cycle, improve the efficiency heating the gas compressor discharge before inside the combustor chamber. In the theory is possible, but my doubt is physically in the machine ,it is possible?'
the main idea is reduce fuel consumption

Best regards

Fernando

I've seen plenty of Frame 3's with recuperators but I never thought of doing it with a LM 2500.

Here is a read about the LM2500 as well as other engines.
