False |
| 11. |
The disadvantageous of using a gas turbine are:
Initial cost is high
Fuel and air filtering are required to avoid erosion of nozzles or blades
Fine tolerance speed reducer between turbine and generator is required and must be kept in alignment
Specialized maintenance, training, tools and procedures are required.
High frequency noise level
Exhaust volume is considerable
A large portion of the fuel heat input is used by the compressor
A long bed plate is required
Maximum load is sharply defined
Efficiency is lower than reciprocating engines. |
