ABSTRACT:
An auxiliary power system comprises two turbogenerators sharing a single combustor for delivery of elevated pressure and temperature gas to both the turbogenerators, a single fuel system for supplying elevated pressure fuel to the single combustor, and a single electronic unit for conditioning the electrical power input and output. The auxiliary power system also comprises first and second recuperator means operating in association with the dual turbogenerators for transferring heat from turbine exhaust to air entering the single combustor. The entire recuperator volume is used in both the single and dual turbogenerator operating modes.
