Abstract
A direct-fired gas turbine heater comprises a gas turbine engine, a main blower that receives cold air from the ambient, a mixing plenum that receives cold air from the main blower and hot gas from the turbine and delivers warm air, an air blower plenum that that receives cold air from the main air blower and delivers air to the mixing plenum, and an air intake plenum that receives cold air from the ambient and the air blower plenum and delivers cold air to a turbine compressor, an air intake valve, and an air starter valve. The gas turbine engine comprises the compressor that receives cold air, a fuel manifold that receives combustible fuel, a combustor that receives compressed air from the compressor and fuel from the fuel manifold, a turbine that receives hot gas from the combustor, and a shaft connecting the compressor and turbine.
