Sentences with phrase «gases spinning a turbine»

Not exact matches

A dual - volute turbocharger with electronic boost control sourced from BorgWarner uniquely sends high - pressure exhaust gas through opposite sides of the turbocharger housing to spin the turbine.

A turbocharger creates boost (pressure) through the spinning of a small turbine (pushed by exhaust gases) that shares a shaft with a similar - looking compressor, which delivers the extra air to the engine.

The roadster is powered by a natural - gas turbine that spun a conventional flywheel, acting as a power reserve for an electrical motor that powered the wheels.

Other highlights include an integrated exhaust manifold built into the cylinder head — which delivers a shorter flow path for hot exhaust gases and allows the catalytic converter to heat up faster for reduced cold start emissions — and a turbine speed sensor which allows its turbos to spin at up to 240,000 rpm (220,000 minimum) for higher torque and horsepower output.

Can I assume solar thermal has approximately the same spinning inertia as coal, combined cycle gas turbines and nuclear plants?

We should have a lot more reactors spinning turbines, and use natural gas for more productive uses.

Traditionally, grid operators have relied on spinning reserves, usually natural gas turbines, that can be brought online very quickly.
