Design, construction and service performance of free piston gas turbine machinery installed in vessels Goodwood and Rembrandt; evolution of each design is described with reference to factors influencing selection of major components and difficulties encountered during construction; anticipated performance is compared with actual trial result; troubles in service are indicated; two fully worked installation designs illustrate flexibility of machinery type and show possible effect of gasifier development on installation as whole.
