WW Of EXCELLENCE

Harrison regenerators save you money going in.

Then the serious savings start.

Harrison regenerators will help clamp the lid on rising gas-line fuel costs. You get a fast, economical installation, an important initial saving.

And the operational savings are even greater. By recuperating a turbine's exhaust to preheat its intake air, a Harrison regenerator allows the turbine to use less fuel, more efficiently. As much as 30% less fuel with a regenerator of 80% air side effectiveness. And cycling applications are entirely practical due to recent recommended operating changes and design innovations. If you're really serious about continuous savings, give us your facts and figures.
