Description
The project aims to develop a novel recuperator technology for stationary power Micro turbine generators.
MTGs already have a number of benefits compared to diesel or other reciprocating internal combustion
engines (currently used for decentralised power generation) in that they are able to burn almost any gaseous or
liquid fuel with significantly improved emissions. However current markets for MTG static power generators
are limited by the inherent fuel-to-electrical efficiency, where the recuperator is a key driver of both engine
efficiency and cost. This recuperator project looks to address both these issues to substantially increase the
decentralised power market opportunity for MTG systems. Through the application of production Additive
Manufacturing techniques, specifically high productivity Selective Laser Melting, the project will deliver a highly
efficient integrated recuperator at a competitive cost.
