The GUNT Gas Turbine Trainer with Free-Running Power Turbine provides hands-on investigation of gas turbine systems operating in a two-shaft configuration. One turbine drives the compressor, while the second turbine independently delivers mechanical power to a generator. This setup models real-world gas turbines used in power plants, ships, locomotives, and industrial engines.
Product Features
- Two-shaft configuration with separate high-pressure and power turbines
- High-pressure turbine drives the radial compressor for optimal efficiency
- Free-running power turbine drives a generator for mechanical energy output
- Includes a tubular combustion chamber with turbulence generator for stable combustion
- Fuel system, starter fan, ignition system, and lubrication system included
- Open-cycle operation with air intake and exhaust circulation
- Cooling air mixed with combustion gases to reduce temperature before turbine entry
- Braking resistors safely dissipate electrical energy generated during operation
- Sensors measure speed, temperature, pressure, and mass flow of air and fuel
- Real-time data acquisition and display for performance analysis and turbine characteristics
Benefits
- Illustrates complete gas turbine cycle and energy conversion principles
- Enables performance analysis of independent turbine stages
- Ideal for technical training in aerospace, marine, and energy engineering
- Supports real-world understanding of generator-coupled gas turbines
