They can run in size from small, human-scale machines down to micro-sized mini-machines that can barely be seen by the naked eye. They also run a great diversity of fuel types, from various types of commercial gases to waste-generated gases. This new book by industry expert Claire Soares will fully describe the various types of microturbines, their applications, and their particular requirements for installation, maintenance and repair. It will explain how a microturbine the sizGas-turbine power-plantsElectronic books.Gas-turbine power-plants.621.406Soares Claire893644MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457702103321Microturbines1996193UNINA
