Free gas turbine with constant temperature-corrected gas generator speed
DRIVE
August 22, 2012
A method of controlling a speed of a gas turbine engine (10,110) including a gas generator or high pressure spool (24,124) and a power turbine or low pressure spool (20,120) rotating independently from one another, including controlling a rotational speed of the gas generator spool according to a fixed relationship with respect to an outside air temperature throughout a variation of output power.
