Abstract:

The closed cycle gas turbine power plant has been under development by the firm of Escher-Wyss, Ltd. of Zurich, Switzerland since 1940. During this time some dozen or more central station type plants have been put into operation, in the 12000 KW class. This paper is presented based on the concept, theories explored, design, fabrication, construction, and initial testing in the first experimental compact closed cycle AK process thermodynamic system.
