Rotating Gas Producer – the five-stage, dual-spool compressor which achieves a 14.5:1 compression ratio at full power, driven by the compressor turbine, which operates with a maximum turbine inlet temperature of 2,180 ☏ (1,190 ☌).Recuperator – a fixed cylindrical regenerative heat exchanger that extracts waste heat from the exhaust gases and uses it to preheat the compressed air.The engine is a three-shaft machine composed of five sub-modules: The engine can use a variety of fuels, including jet fuel, gasoline, diesel and marine diesel. The turbine can provide torque in excess of 667 lb⋅ft (904 N⋅m) at significantly lower RPMs. Specifications Įngine output peaks at 1,500 hp (1,100 kW), with 2,750 lb⋅ft (3,730 N⋅m) of torque at that peak, which occurs at 3,000 rpm. In 1995, production was moved to the Anniston Army Depot in Anniston, Alabama, after the Stratford Army Engine Plant was shut down. The engine was originally designed and produced by the Lycoming Turbine Engine Division in the Stratford Army Engine Plant. It is the main powerplant of the M1 Abrams series of tanks. The Honeywell AGT1500 is a gas turbine engine. Marines load an AGT1500 engine back into an M1A1 Abrams tank at Camp Coyote, Kuwait in February 2003.
