English to Greek Tech/Engineering Petroleum Eng/Sci gas turbines

Aeroderivative gas turbines are lighter weight variations of gas turbines. Despite calling them gas turbines, the fuel source for these devices is not really gas. Actually, they are designed so that fuel and air are mixed and then ignited to achieve the desired output. The design of gas turbines is comprised of a compression device to facilitate the taking in of air and compressing it (the 'gas' in this case) and then applying heat by means of a burner. The resulting flow of hot air is used as the source of powering the turbine. Today, these are typically designed to make use of a combustion process that is continuous as opposed to the intermittent nature of automotive combustion engines. Gas turbines have a long history of use with successful commercial applications in the late 1930s.
