At the 1962 and 1964 ASME meetings, Allison submitted papers describing the possibilities of industrializing the T56 aircraft engine and the applications of the 501 gas turbine to industrial operations. Since 1964, Allison has been evaluating a prototype electrical power and steam generation set which has operated for approximately 20,000 hr. This paper describes the test program and the results obtained. Operating data from various engine configurations using natural gas and diesel fuel, four lubricating oils, two types of air-inlet filters, and a Harrison special high heat transfer rate exhaust gas steam boiler are also presented.
