Gas turbines are widely used in generating power plants as well as in transportation. Compared to diesel engines their specific consumption can reach up to 30 % higher. This can be reduced significantly by adding a heat exchanger which recovers heat in the exhaust gas and releases it into the combustor inlet compressed air-stream. The design concept of a lightweight compact recuperator is presented together with prototype testing, leading to the full scale heat exchanger. This recuperator can be used to recover exhaust gas energy from gas turbines and a specific application to a space station power system is given with emphasis on the key design goals of high performance and low mass.
