Two Shaft Gas Turbine
Product Code : EL-E-11332
Quick Answer: The Two Shaft Gas Turbine is a self-contained, fully instrumented educational gas turbine powered by kerosene, with a gas generator and a separate power turbine on a steel frame. The power turbine drives an eddy current dynamometer directly, with a load cell and speed sensor for calculating true shaft power.

Key Features
- Steel frame holds the gas generator, power turbine, combustion chamber, oil and fuel tanks, pumps, ancillaries and guards
- Air passes through a calibrated nozzle and air box into the compressor and combustion chamber; fuel is pumped to a spray nozzle and lit by a high-energy spark
- Hot gas from the gas generator turbine passes through a short duct to the power turbine, reducing heat losses
- Power turbine coupled direct to an eddy current dynamometer, with a load cell for torque and a sensor for speed
- Fuel flow control valve regulates turbine speed; a PLC controls start up and shut down and stops the turbines after a user error
- Control panel with mimic diagram, warning lights and digital and analogue indicators for pressures, temperatures, fuel flow and level

About This Product
The turbine lets students investigate the principles and performance of a two-shaft gas turbine on a single rig. They vary the fuel flow, record readings from around the cycle and use the dynamometer measurements to work out true shaft power at each condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
What fuel does the Two Shaft Gas Turbine use?
It is powered by kerosene, pumped from the fuel tank to spray through a nozzle into the combustion chamber.
How is the gas turbine started and stopped?
A PLC (programmable logic controller) controls the turbine start up and shut down, and shuts the turbines down if the user makes an error.
