COMPACTNESS OF NEWEST TURBINE ENGINE from Chrysler Corporation is seen in these front and rear views. The new dual regenerators -- or heat - exchangers -- are located at both sides of the engine. The new regenerators on this latest Chrysler turbine engine not only help to achieve the new compactness, but also improve the fuel economy and reduce the exhaust temperatures. There was only one regenerator in Chrysler Corporation's predecessor engines, located above the engine. Upper photo show (left) the accessory drive, air intake elbow and ignition unit. The burner may be seen in the center at the bottom of the engine. Bottom photo of the engine rear shows the reduction gear and the exhaust ducts coming from the regenerators. The new engine delivers 130 horsepower, equivalent in over-all performance to a V-8 piston engine of more than 200 horsepower, and will power the new limited production Chrysler Corporation Turbine Car. The company will begin distribution of 50 of the new cars in the fall of 1963 to selected users for consumer evaluation of turbine power under normal everyday driving experience.


Creation Year: 1964
