Technical Report ·

A meeting was held at Alturdyne's facility in San Diego to discuss project progress. Cliff Carpenter, the NETL Program Manager, attended the meeting. As a result of the meeting, several decisions were made: (1) A General Motors engine would be specified as the prime mover; (2) A Carrier reciprocating compressor would be specified, however a Hitachi screw compressor with an integral oil sump was an interesting candidate if it was available in the right size and for the right price; (3) The motor/generator would provide two functions: as an induction motor and as a synchronous generator. The variable speed, constant frequency feature will not be included in the first generation product; and (4) The refrigerant will be R134-A.
