GE5 Gas Turbines
PACKAGE
The gas turbine packages were designed with an emphasis on standardization, and optimization of factory and field assembly operations. The result is a standard package capable of satisfying the needs of a typical user for low installation and maintenance costs. The package is also designed and manufactured as a modular system. Both the single and twin shaft gas turbines are normally supplied as completely enclosed, on-base soundproof packages of very compact dimensions with standard noise attenuation levels of 85 dB(A) at 1 m. The Starting System, Lube Oil System and Fuel System are fully integrated on the base plate.
In the single shaft configuration, the base plate also supports the load gear; the off-base equipment is limited to the lube oil cooler and the generator. The entire GE5-1 package is compact, with a footprint of only 5810 mm (L) x 2500 mm (W) providing the user with the flexibility to locate the system indoors or near pre- existing facilities. The inlet filtration module and inlet duct are designed to be perfectly integrated with the enclosure and, in order to optimize the footprint and transportation, are supported by the enclosure itself. For the twin shaft, the design guideline has been the flexibility to satisfy a broad spectrum of customer plant needs. As required by the Oil & Gas Industry, the standard enclosure was designed to be equipped with different filtration systems (conventional/self cleaning), different inlet/exhaust duct arrangements and noise levels and always allowing high accessibility and maintainability.
Both the single and twin shaft packages are provided with wide access doors conveniently located around the enclosure for easy access to the engine assembly and auxiliary components.
