Abstract
Abstract A gas turbine engine (10) is of a size suitable for generating electrical and heat energy for domestic and other purposes. The engine has a low number of components, and some of the components are capable of performing more than one function. For example, the engine has a centrifugal compressor (12) driven by a centripetal turbine (14) through a shaft (18). The compressor and turbine are mounted in a casing comprising a two part core (28) and two end plates (24,26). The gas flow ducting is formed by surfaces on the compressor and turbine rotors, the core and the two end plates.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
183 words
A power plant including a gas turbine engine comprising a compressor driven by a turbine through a shaft, a combustion arrangement arranged to receive a flow of compressed air from the compressor and a flow of fuel, and to discharge the products of combustion to the turbine, a power turbine arranged to be driven by the exhaust from the compressor driving turbine, the engine comprising a plurality of components, at least two of said components partially defining the surfaces of the gas flow path through the engine, one of said surfaces being formed on a static component, and the other of said surfaces being formed on a rotating component, characterised in that the power plant further includes a variable frequency wide voltage regulated a.c. generator (80) driven by the power turbine (64) of the engine (10), a boiler and/or absorbtion system (84) driven by the exhaust heat of the engine (10) and a control system to control the gas turbine engine (10), the a.c. generator (80) and the boiler and/or the absorption system, and to control heat energy output in accordance with demand.
