Abstract
594,139. Gas turbine plant. DAWSON, L. G. Dec. 11, 1944, No. 24794. [Classes 110 (i) and 110 (ii)] In a gas turbine plant, the air is compressed in a compressor comprising a low pressure axial flow compressor and a high pressure centrifugal compressor, the two compressors being driven by coaxial shafts connected to independent axial flow turbines arranged in series. The air compressed in an axial flow compressor 1 passes through ducts 3 and 4 to a centrifugal compressor 2 where it is further compressed before passing through the combustion chambers 11, 12 to the axial flow turbine wheels 7, 8 connected through coaxial shafts 5, 6 with the compressors 1, 2 respectively. When used for aircraft, one of the shafts 5, 6 may be used to drive a propeller or one or more further gas turbines may be provided to drive one or more propellers, the air for the combustion chambers of these turbines being supplied by the compressors 1, 2.
