19 March 2020: Monarch 5 turboshaft engine can now run on natural gas too apart from jet fuel. This creates a standby power generation for both onsite and remote application areas thus extending the technology beyond flight and into ground emergency. The lightweight and portable Monarch 5 along with this fuel flexibility and reliable power generation capacity makes it a game changer for the industry.
UAV Turbines, a pioneer of micro turbine technology announced this technology signifying an unmatched level of fuel flexibility.
Fred Frigerio, UAV Turbines' Senior Vice President of Engineering, said, "A major feature of our gas turbine engines is that they operate with safe-to-handle heavy fuel such as Jet A and a wide variety of other fuels. With minor engineering changes, the Monarch 5 engine can adapt to several different clean energy fuel sources such as natural gas and hydrogen. Both are clean-burning fuels, with little or no output of greenhouse gases. Sustainable and clean energy sources are becoming more important for applications in various environments served by UAV Turbines' new micro turbo generator product line."
The miniaturized micro turbine technology by UAV Turbines have created a vast new universe of opportunities for integration into systems powering hard-to-access remote weather stations, oil fields, telecom towers, construction sites, emergency field teams, stationary first responders and military vehicle communications. A portable micro-turbo generator system running on natural gas or diesel fuel not only offers the flexibility of running with various available fuels but also allows the user the choice of selection based on cost, availability, or quality.
Kirk Warshaw, CEO of UAV Turbines added, "Most recently, UAV Turbines emerged from a decade of stealth and privately funded research and development to make public demonstrations of its breakthrough propulsion and power generation technology platforms. Since the successful demonstration of the Monarch 5 in Group 3 UAV flight, UAV Turbines has UAV Turbines today announced that its Monarch 5 turboshaft engine can now run on natural gas, signifying an unmatched level of fuel flexibility".
