  • Publication number: 20210324792
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a micro gas turbine flameless heater, in which the heat is generated by burning fuel in a gas turbine engine, and the heater output air mixture is generated by transferring the heat in the gas turbine exhaust to the cold air drawn from the ambient environment. The present disclosure also describes component geometries and system layout for a gas turbine power generation unit that is designed for simple assembly, disassembly, and component replacement. The present disclosure also allows for quick removal of the rotating components of the gas turbine engine in order to reduce assembly and maintenance time. Furthermore, the present disclosure describes features that help to maintain safe operating temperatures for the bearings and structures of the gas turbine engine power turbine.
