Q!mQ64 DLE combustor exceeds performance guarantees Davidson, J. and Leonard, G. MPS, Modern Power Systems, May 1995, 15, (5). 37, 39, 41. Reports that the Dry Low Emission (DLE) combustion system developed b GE Marine and Industrial Engines, Evandale, Ohio, USA, for its hi@ e&* lciency LM6000 aeroderivative gas turbine is now a commercial realty. The system ls exceeding performance arantees at its first world application, the combined-cycle cogeneration !-?* c&ty at the Ghent power station in Belgium. 95lO6Q66 Electrlclty market shapes new gas turbine strategies Touchton, G. and Cohn, A. MPS, Modern Power Syskms, May 1995,15, (S), 17, 19-20. As the structure of the power generation market changes, new strategies like distributed generation and intermediate load operation offer the means for plant operators to improve their efficiency and competitiveness. Initiatives such as the Collaborative Advanced Gas Turbine programme are aimed at developing combustion turbines suited lo these new demands. Emlsslons and power characterlstlcs of diesel 96lO6066 engines on methyl aoyate and diesel fuel blends Ali, Y. et aL, Bioresource TechnoL, 1995, 52, (2), 185-195. A Detroit 6V-92 TA coach diesel engine and a Cummins NTA-855-C diesel engine were operated on fuels produced by blending methyl soyate with No. 2 diesel fuel. Specific gravity, viscosity, and heating values of seven fuel blends were determined. Power developed by the engine, brake specific fuel consumption, and emissions analyses includin brake specific hydrocarbon, brake specific oxides of nitrogen, brake specs*f lc carbon monoxide and smoke were measured. The performance of the engine was found to be satisfactory without a significant reduction in power output on methyl soyate blends up to 30%. 96lQ6067 An envlronmental guide to small-scale combined heat and power.

All the major parameters considered-availability, utilization and capability factors-were much lower than acceptable. The frequency of failures of some vital components of the machines is also higher than normal. The general low performance is linked to some peculiar environmental conditions of the place and circumstances of the country, which make the design of certain parts of the GTs inadequate. 95/05071 Gas turbine blade materials: The next steps Czech, N. et aL, MPS, Modern Power Systems, May 1995. 15, (5), 43, 45-46.
