Gas Turbine Components

Gas turbine has main components as follow: compressor, combustion chamber, gas turbine, load gear and generator.

  1. Compressor
Compressor serves to suck outside air or atmospheric air and then compressed to get higher pressure.

  1. Combustion chamber
Combustion chamber is a chamber or room which is used to perform combustion process with gas as its fuel and the gaseous combustion product will be used to drive turbine. Fuel will be mixed with compressed air and burnt together when there is spark of flame from igniter.

  1. Gas turbine
Gas turbine serves to change kinetic energy which is stored in the gases of combustion into useful energy.

  1. Generator
Generator function is to change mechanical energy which is generated by gas turbine into electrical energy.
