To provide hands on experience and enhance the understanding on
the principles of gas turbine in generating mechanical and electrical
energy. The system used in this experiment is ET792 Two-Shaft as
Turbine !emonstration "nit.
2+0 Int#odu*tion
enerally# gas turbines are always used if high power density# low
weight and $uic% starting are re$uired. &ontrary to piston engines# as
fluid flow into the machines# they permit high material flow rates in
small dimensions. 'n this way# light and# at the same time powerful
drives can be reali(ed.
)s the moving parts of a gas turbine only perform rotary motion#
almost vibration free running can be achieved if the turbine is well
balanced. !isadvantages are the high gas speeds and high noise
emissions due to the simultaneous connection to the atmosphere.
'n comparison to steam turbines# gas turbines wor% at higher
temperatures but with lower pressures. The high temperatures
particularly in the area of the turbine re$uire particularly heat
resistant materials.

'n this module# )ttachment * describes schematic diagram of the gas
turbine unit with several important explanations and safety
precautions. )ttachment 2 tells the setting up and maintaining
procedures while )ttachment + depicts the operation of the gas
turbine.
