Pratt and Whitney are trying to sell us an FT8 Gas Turbine which was designed for 50 hz. Our system is a 60 hz system. The FT8 is designed such that the power turbine is a free power turbine, ie. it is only aerodynamically linked to the gas generator. What are the issues we should be concerned about if any?? deration? effciency?? Please give some advice.
