The possibility of replacing the relatively fuel inefficient
gas turbine for certain commercial applications with the more
efficient reciprocating engine. A problem for both marine and
power generation reciprocating engines is the short duration
of allowable full load operation imposed by durability considerations
and the relatively short time between engine overhauls as compared
to gas turbines (primarily due to piston ring and liner wear
which should be nearly eliminated in the RLE). |
