Description
Small-scale gas turbines, known as Microturbines, represent an exciting new development in gas turbine technology. They can run in size
from small, human-scale machines down to micro-sized mini-machines that can barely be seen by the naked eye. They also run a great diversity
of fuel types, from various types of commercial gases to waste-generated gases. This new book by industry expert Claire Soares will
fully describe the various types of microturbines, their applications, and their particular requirements for installation, maintenance
and repair. It will explain how a microturbine the size of a refrigerator can power an entire school, hospital or small factory, which
is particularly useful for onsite, remote installations. The book will also show how microturbines can be paired with one or more fuel
cells to form a hybrid energy source, or can be teamed with any source of distributed power, such as a mall hydro-turbine or a wind turbine.
Moreover, the reader will learn how microturbines can run on a variety of fuels that are far cruder than those required by most standard
gas turbines; they can be made to run, for instance, using gas from a landfill or biomass source. The reader will find detailed information
on costs, specifications, and maintenance and repair guidelines. Ample references and resources will provide the reader with tools for
finding manufacturers and product specifications for their own particular needs.
