In its gas transport system N.V. Nederlandse Gasunie found a shift from peak load to base load at stations which were not originally designed for that duty. A study was made of the application of recuperators on GE frame 5 gas turbines, based on experience with a prototype installation four years ago. The paper describes the Breda-regenerator in general and the experience of one of the two prototypes which was installed on a Gasunie frame 5 two shaft 24 mW gas turbine compressor unit in 1978. In June 1981 Gasunie decided to equip two more identical gas turbine compressor units at their 100000 HP compressor station at Zweekhorst with Breda-regenerators. The paper covers all aspects of retrofitting the simple cycle gas turbine installations with regenerators at the Zweekhorst station.
