The AE94.2 Gas Turbine meets customer needs in terms of performance, emissions and operational/fuel flexibility for intermediate-class gas turbines, by delivering a competitive and cost-effective package based on established technology. The AE94.2 gas turbine is a benchmark for both operational and fuel flexibility. The ability to adapt rapidly to provide the requested grid power is becoming more and more important:

– start up and loading time: full speed no load reached in less than 5 minutes and baseload conditions about 15 minutes later. Fast loading gradient procedures can reduce this time to about 6 minutes

– best dynamic performance during grid support: 40 MW in few seconds is a well proven result on several units.

 

The LM6000-PF+ aeroderivative gas turbine with DLE combustion technology can offer the best cost per kilowatt in its power class. It delivers excellent reliability and fuel flexibility in both power generation and mechanical-drive applications, whether installed onshore or offshore.

Exceptional metrics

       42.7% efficiency, simple cycle

        Startup in 5 minutes

        Full power in 10 minutes or less

        Pressurized LNG compressor startup capability without helper motor assistance

Performance

One of the biggest realities in today’s global market is that efficiency has a direct and critical correlation with an operation’s success. The PF+ is designed specifically with that fact in mind, providing more power with an efficiency that’s nearly a point higher than our old technology. And the design is tuned to make combined cycle highly practical, which is a key factor, especially in parts of Southeast Asia, Africa and South America. The excellent thermal efficiency, high starting torque, and nearconstant efficiency over a wide range of ambient temperatures (from 50-100°F/10-37°C) make the PF+ ideal for LNG plants and other energy-intensive processes. The PF+ is optimized for mechanical drive in LNG applications including the ability to start a settled compressor train with no need for a helper motor. With speed flexibility ranging from 50% to 105%, the PF+ can meet ever-changing energy demands to deliver significant cost savings.

It is full of exceptional advantages for any operation  including up to 99% availability. It is designed for a 35,000-hour mean time between maintenance, which translates into four years of non-stop running for the gas generator module or eight years for the power turbine module.

In addition to long intervals without maintenance, the NovaLT16 enables extremely short intervals for maintenance activities. In fact, the modular maintenance philosophy is optimized so that a cold-condition engine can be swapped in just 24 hours. Beyond the mechanics of the turbine itself, the complete package is designed with the ultimate performance and support features as standard fully equipped with integrated monitoring and diagnostics sensors and remote tuning capability. Control room location is up to you, while oil and starting systems are easily accessible outside of the enclosure, making routine maintenance safer and more ergonomic (lower noise, lower heat).
