GEEnergy carries out mechanical tests on all its gas turbines. Complete turbocompressors and

turbogenerators, including all auxiliary equipment, can be full-load tested on outdoor test beds

complying with API, ASME, VDI and ISO international standards at the Florence or Massa plants.

Even complete modules can be tested at the Massa plant and than shipped without being this

assembled because of its proximity to the Massa harbor. The test beds are equipped with

computer Data Acquisition Systems capable of collecting thermodynamic and mechanical data

and computing in real time. Test facilities include a high pressure feed system for gas mixtures

(inert and flammable gases), a gas chromatograph for gas analysis, a 60 Hz generator, low and

high pressure gas coolers, and steam and lube oil supply. The cooling towers allow closed-loop

tests up to 130 MW. GE Energy also tests complete plants on site upon customer request.
