The invention improves fuel efficiency of a gas turbine engine through preheating compressed air before combustion by passing the compressed air through a heat exchange recuperator in thermal contact with hot exhaust gases. The improvement provided by the invention relates to the inclusion of an integral recuperator defined when each of the diffuser pipes is routed to extend radially across the hot gas duct through the inner and outer duct walls. As a result, a recuperative heat exchange air passage is defined by the compressor, diffusers, combustion chamber and hot gas duct, where the recuperative heat exchange air flow passage consists of a minimal simple single loop.

L'invention concerne l'amélioration du rendement d'un combustible d'un moteur à turbine à gaz, par préchauffage d'air comprimé avant la combustion, et par passage de l'air comprimé dans un récupérateur d'échange thermique, en contact thermique avec les gaz d'échappement chauds. L'amélioration apportée par l'invention concerne l'inclusion d'un récupérateur d'un seul tenant, défini lorsque chaque tuyau de diffuseur est orienté de manière à s'étendre radialement à travers le conduit de gaz chauds, à travers les parois intérieure et extérieure dudit conduit. En conséquence, un passage d'air d'échange thermique de récupération est défini par le compresseur, les diffuseurs, la chambre de combustion et le conduit de gaz chauds, ledit passage étant constitué d'une seule boucle minimale.
