Experimental investigation of performance and emission characteristics of a miniature gas turbine supplied by blends of kerosene and waste tyre pyrolysis oil

Abstract

Fossil fuels are non-renewable sources of energy that could be depleted in the near future, giving rise to amajor energy crisis. Scientists from all over the world are working on new technologies to produce fuelnot only from renewable sources but also from waste. This article is concerned with: (i) waste tyremanagement by means of the pyrolysis process, (ii) investigation of physico-chemical parameters ofwaste tyre pyrolysis oil (TPO), and (iii) investigation of performance and emission characteristics of aminiature GTM-140 turbine engine supplied by blends of kerosene and waste tyre pyrolysis oil. Thefinalaim of the research is to determine the influence of the applied blend composition (between 10 and 50%of TPO in the blends) on the performance and emission parameters of a small gas turbine. Turbine inletand outlet temperatures, fuelflow, static thrust, thrust specific fuel consumption (TSFC) and emissionsindex of NOx, CO, SO2are measured in a wide range of turbine load. The differences are the largest for thehighest rotational speeds, where the temperatures, TSFC and emissions of NOxespecially tend to increasewith the increasing fraction of pyrolytic oil in the blends, as compared to those of kerosene. However,emissions of SO2are lower for the all blends in the entire range of load.
