Abstract
The specific problem in this investigation is to determine
if a no-break electric power system using a gas turbine as the emergency
prime mover can be manufactured and operated within certain
specified limits to provide continuous electric power to the critical
portions of Naval Communications equipment. The present method of providing no-break electric power is to
use a diesel engine as the emergency prime mover. These systems are
considered to be too bulky, heavy, and expensive. The gas turbine system
must be so designed as to overcome these disadvantages. One system is proposed that can be manufactured from equipment
now available; however, this system while being less bulky and weighing
less than the diesel system, costs more to own and operate. Another system is proposed that will satisfy the design requirements;
however, it cannot be manufactured without certain basic
changes in gas turbines that are now commercially available.
