5. The mini turbo-generators are equipped with only one moving part and air
bearings that obviate the need for any lubricating oil . Air Cooling of the unit
also eliminates any water cooling. This results in extremely reliable & low
maintenance power generation system with maintenance time of only six
hours per year.

Performance Data:
Since there are no heat losses through lubricating oils and water cooling, there is a
significantly higher recovery of lost heat from the combustion process through exhaust
emissions. The recovered heat is utilized in absorption chilling, process heating heating and
water desalination resulting in overall system efficiency between 80-90 percent.
