Abstract

Recently, there has been wide-ranging research on the idea of biomass fuel powered externally firing micro gas turbines; but only a small subset of these studies has used experimental work to evaluate the systems. These systems have not yet been employed in Malaysia for applications in thermal energy or power generation. The objective of this study is to determine the performance of a stainless steel high-temperature heat exchanger, which was built to transfer thermal power from a biomass gasifier-combustor to the pure air turbine working fluid. The study is based on experimental work using different air blower capacities as an air supply. The heat exchanger achieved 694°C turbine inlet temperature with an average effectiveness of 62.5%.
