In early 1990s, the US, Britain, and France navies combined to support an international effort to develop a next-generation gas turbine propulsion plant for medium-sized surface vessels. Now nearing commercialization, the WR 21 Intercooled Recuperated (ICR) gas turbine is the first aeroderivative gas turbine to incorporate compressor intercooling and exhaust heat recuperation systems to cut consumption of marine distillate oil. Engineers expect that the advanced-cycle drive technology will lead to a 27-30% reduction in overall fuel usage compared to existing US Navy surface propulsion gas turbine units. The design, development and application of this new technology are discussed.
