    This document discusses high temperature compressors for potential use in a PTES system. It summarizes that existing aircraft engine technology can provide compressors that achieve temperatures over 600°C. The LM9000 compressor based on a GE90 engine meets the goals for a PTES application. Larger heavy duty gas turbines could also be used, with compressor exit temperatures up to 500°C for a single machine system producing 140 MW. Using CO2 as the working fluid would require a pressure ratio over 100 to reach 550°C, resulting in small diameter but thick pipes.

    LM9000 for PTES Development Needs
    Do we need a turbine?

    Compressor Exit Diffuser and Volute Yes –


    Pressure Ratio:
    • Collect 33.5
    hot air and move to PTES heat exchanger • COP < 1 without a turbine
    Airflow 183.kg/s
    New low-temperature power turbine • Resistive heat lower CAPEX
    • 300C Turbine Inlet Temp and higher efficiency than
    throttle
    • Uncooled, stainless steel
    • Based on Steam Turbine technology to minimize NRE and product cost

    Casing, Bearings, and Sumps for Modified Design

    Gearbox to couple Synchronous Drive Motor


    • 3600/1800 RPM motor for 60 Hz applications
    • Drive both high speed core and low speed booster
    • Integrate turbine with HS or LS shaft (TBD)

    Conclusions

    High Discharge Temperature Air Compressors Currently Used in Aircraft Engines


    • High PR for Cycle Efficiency without Bottoming Cycle
    • Largest engines are still < 100 MW scale
    • Repurposed aeroderivative shortest path to PTES application @ 550C
    • Requires development of custom gearbox, turbine, and bearings

    Heavy Duty Gas Turbines Provide Scale


    • Lower PR, optimized for combined cycle
    • Compressor discharge up to 500C in HA.02
    • Simple single 3600 RPM shaft
    • 140 MW in a single machine
    • Requires development of a custom turbine and bearings.

    CO2 Requires High PR to Achieve 550C


    • PR > 100 or staged system
    • High discharge pressure results in small (but thick) pipes
