The electric energy generated by the alternator is dissipated on a resistive load. It is possible to study a jet engine by simply changing the configuration of power turbine simulation into that of an aircraft engine. The Two Shaft Gas Turbine Study Unit Jet Engine consists of a wheeled frame made of steel, of a panel with mimic diagram carrying the measurement instruments and of a base where the main components are installed, that is the combustion chamber, the turbocharger assembly, the power turbine and the alternator. The unit is supplied with manuals which describe all parts of the trainer, the installation and utilisation procedures, as well as many exercises with the relative results. The exhaust gases produced by the combustion of the compressed air/gas mixture are made to expand first through the turbine of the turbocharger assembly in order to supply the energy necessary to compress the air and then through the power turbine coupled to the alternator through a toothed belt.
