Vericor Power
Systems was formed in 1999 as a subsidiary of MTU Aero Engines, a DaimlerChrysler
company.
The cornerstone of Vericor Power Systems' cogeneration systems is its
line of compact, lightweight and fuel efficient aeroderivative gas turbines.
The ASE™8, ASE™40, and ASE™50 gas turbines are "derived"
from Honeywell's established and proven aerospace technology. There are
more than 20,000 Honeywell aero engines in service today with over 20
million hours of proven performance. This new generation of high performance,
ground-based gas turbines incorporates state-of-the-art materials and
coatings, and offers thermal efficiencies ranging up to 35%.
Similar to their aero engine counterparts, Vericor Power Systems units
can be continuously started and stopped. This means that users can easily
meet varying power or steam requirements without compromising the gas
turbines' performance.
In addition, the compact size of these units makes them ideal for sites
that have space constraints. Vericor Power Systems' gas turbines provide
value through efficient, environmentally friendly operation on natural
gas. However the turbines can operate on a variety of other fuels, including
distillate and oil.
Best of all - every Vericor Power Systems gas turbine is backed by experienced
field service personnel that can assist in installation, plant start-up
and ongoing plant/gas turbine maintenance anywhere in the world.
