Merlin turbocharger?

Hi Philgé,

>This is a big turbocharger with a main burner and a valve to manage the difference of pressure between exhaust gas and air pressure after compression .

Very interesting! Is my impression correct that this is almost a turbine engine in itself?

(In the sense that if no exhaust gases were present, it would just burn some fuel with the compressed air to generate enough to drive itself like a true turbine engine :-)

Hi,

yes it is like that, you could start only the turbocharger to use it like an APU,to have nine kW of electrical power.
