To demonstrate that a single gas-turbine compressor set can be an attractive economic alternative to multiunit reciprocating compressors for use in typical gas-storage injection and withdrawal cycles, Cooper Rolls Inc. and Union Gas Ltd., Canada, installed a unique tandem-driven centrifugal compressor rated at 19,690 kW at the Dawn compressor station in south Ontario. Preliminary operating data indicate that the actual gas-turbine fuel consumption is lower than predicted at the specified full-load value, resulting in a 34% thermal efficiency. The compressor also exceeds operating requirements for pressure ratio and flow rate.
