Pressure gain combustion: an efficiency step-change for gas turbines
Finno Exergy’s innovative pressure gain combustion (PGC) concept aims to increase gas turbine efficiency by employing pulsed deflagration. It combines a technology well established in piston engines – pressure rise combustion – with the high power densities and continuous shaft outputs of gas turbines. Finno Exergy sees significant potential for retrofitting PGC to the existing turbine fleet, in particular Frame 3 and 5 machines. By Fabio Ciccateri CTO, Finno Exergy Oy
