Made from strong, durable materials, the fixture set is built to support the heavy upper compressor case while keeping everything properly aligned. Its reliable locking and hinge system holds the case securely in place, helping protect the gas turbine.

Compatible with both OEM and MRO procedures, this fixture supports efficient, repeatable maintenance practices and helps reduce overall engine downtime. Whether used in the field or in a dedicated maintenance facility, the LM2500 Hinge Fixture is a critical tool for safe and effective servicing of the LM2500 engine’s compressor section.

The 2″ Gas Metering Valve is designed to precisely control the flow of gas fuel in aero-derivative gas turbines, including the LM2500. By adjusting fuel delivery based on operating conditions, it maintains the optimal fuel-to-air ratio essential for safe, efficient, and reliable turbine operation.

Fuel metering valves act as the throttle control for gas turbines. Since turbines generate power by burning fuel mixed with compressed air, accurate regulation of this mixture directly impacts power output, efficiency, and emissions such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO).

This valve delivers exceptional accuracy within ±1% of the flow point, ensuring consistent fuel delivery and optimal combustion. It is built to perform reliably in demanding environments and meets safety standards including ATEX, PED, and UL, certifying it for use in hazardous and extreme conditions.

The fuel metering valve is a two-inch right-angle style valve commonly used on aero-derivative turbines. It integrates easily into existing systems without requiring hydraulic or electrical changes. With millions of hours of proven field performance, it offers dependable, precise fuel control that enhances turbine efficiency and reduces fuel consumption.

The LM2500 is a multi-shaft gas turbine featuring a free-spinning power turbine, making it well-suited for dynamic and high-demand environments such as those found in oil and gas operations. In this design, the high-pressure turbine and compressor are mechanically independent from the low-pressure power turbine. This separation allows the power turbine, which drives the electric generator or mechanical load, to respond rapidly to changes in load demand. Its ability to accelerate quickly makes it ideal for applications where maintaining grid stability or mechanical output is critical. In scenarios where frequency fluctuations occur, the free power turbine can quickly compensate, helping to stabilize the grid and ensure smoother operation of all connected systems.

In its standard configuration, the LM2500 is equipped with a six-stage, low-speed power turbine. This turbine operates at a nominal speed of 3600 rpm and is designed to deliver reliable shaft power in steady-state conditions, making it particularly effective for electric power generation or mechanical drive in pipeline and process operations.

For applications requiring greater flexibility or higher continuous output speeds, the LM2500+G4 variant offers enhanced capabilities. It is available with either the standard six-stage, low-speed power turbine or an alternative two-stage high-speed power turbine. The high-speed variant is engineered for mechanical drive and other demanding industrial uses, with a design speed of 6100 rpm and an operating range from 3050 to 6400 rpm. This configuration supports continuous high-speed shaft output where needed and is particularly beneficial for compressors and other rotating equipment in oil and gas facilities.

Both the six-stage and two-stage power turbines can be operated over a cubic load curve, providing the adaptability required for variable load profiles commonly encountered in oil and gas operations. This flexibility, combined with the LM2500’s rapid response characteristics and modular design, makes it a dependable choice for critical infrastructure in upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors.

The LM2500 Gas Generator is the core component of the LM2500 gas turbine, responsible for producing the high-energy gas flow needed to drive the power turbine. It features a 16-stage axial compressor that efficiently compresses incoming air, a single annular combustor where fuel and air mix for optimal combustion, and a two-stage high-pressure turbine that extracts energy to power the compressor.

Designed for durability and high performance, the LM2500 Gas Generator supports a wide range of fuel types, including natural gas and liquid fuels, enabling flexible operation in various industrial and marine settings. Its modular construction allows for easier maintenance and faster engine removal or replacement, minimizing downtime.

With advanced aerodynamics and robust engineering, the LM2500 Gas Generator delivers reliable, efficient gas flow, helping ensure consistent power output and lower emissions across demanding operating conditions.

The 4″ butterfly bleed air valve plays a crucial role in controlling the flow of compressed air, called bleed air, from the compressor section of a gas turbine. This airflow regulation helps maintain safe and efficient turbine operation by managing pressure and protecting internal components.

This valve is built with a strong bearing shaft and specially designed bearings that handle frequent cycles, ensuring a longer service life and less maintenance. It includes a fail-safe feature that automatically opens the valve if a problem occurs, protecting the turbine from damage. With a quick response time—fully opening or closing in less than 320 milliseconds—it reacts fast to changing engine conditions. The valve’s electric components are also better insulated from heat, improving reliability even in harsh environments.

What makes the 4″ valve stand out is its ideal size and performance. It offers greater airflow than smaller valves, yet remains compact and easier to fit than larger ones, making it perfect for medium-duty applications where space and precise control are important.

Importantly, this valve is designed as a direct, plug-and-play replacement for existing models. It requires no changes to the hydraulic or electrical systems, allowing for quick upgrades without downtime. This seamless fit and reliable operation help ensure your gas turbine runs smoothly and efficiently, reducing costs and increasing uptime.
