Thousands of cubic feet of exhaust exit the gas turbine at 800°F every second of operation it would be a shame not to take advantage of this energy. By channeling the hot exhaust through a Deltak heat recovery steam generator another 30% of the energy is reclaimed from the natural gas being burned.

An 8 foot valve channels the exhaust out the bypass stack until the turbine reaches peak output. The door is then retracted and the hot exhaust flows through a series of four heat exchangers roughly the size of a 2 story home. This is where the system shows it versatility. The heat exchangers can preheat the boilers, provide district heat boil water to steam and then superheat that steam to run an additional generator next door. The gases exit up the rear stack at 300°F with 63% of the heat reclaimed.
