Abstract: To demonstrate the advantageous potential of ceramic gas turbines for automotive use, the 7-year R&D programme conducted by the Petroleum Energy Centre in Japan, is under way. The basic engine is a 100 kW, single-shaft regenerative engine having a turbine inlet temperature of 1350°C and a rotor speed of 110,000 rpm. The engine components were designed, experimentally evaluated and improved in the individual and various assembly test rigs, and an assembly test including rotating and stationary components was performed under the condition of turbine inlet temperature of 1200°C.
