The LM2500+ DLE 50Hz Combined Cycle 2x1 system combines two LM2500+ dry low emissions gas turbines, each coupled with a Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG), to power a single steam turbine. This high-efficiency configuration is engineered to meet larger capacity needs, delivering reliable, low-emission power with rapid startup capability.

At the core of this system is the LM2500+, an uprated version of the LM2500, featuring a 17-stage compressor. The addition of a forward-stage blisk increases airflow by approximately 20% at full power. This enhancement boosts the compressor pressure ratio from 18:1 to 23.1:1, contributing to higher overall efficiency and output.

Downstream of the compressor, the engine incorporates a fully annular combustor with externally mounted fuel nozzles, a two-stage air-cooled high-pressure turbine driving the compressor and gearbox, and a six-stage low-pressure power turbine aerodynamically coupled to extract energy from the high-energy exhaust flow. To accommodate the increased output, key design changes were made to the power turbine, including aerodynamic blade optimizations and rotor strengthening.

The Dry Low Emissions (DLE) system plays a crucial role in minimizing environmental impact. Its triple annular combustor lowers flame temperature, reducing NOx and CO emissions without water or steam injection—improving both thermal efficiency and maintainability.

Together, this 2x1 configuration offers a scalable solution for utility and industrial operators seeking clean, efficient, and dependable power generation at higher capacities.

The 2.5″ Butterfly Bleed Air Valve is a critical component in the LM2500 gas turbine, responsible for regulating the flow of bleed air—compressed air extracted from the turbine’s compressor stage. This valve helps control internal pressures and temperatures, which is essential to maintain safe and efficient turbine operation.

The valve has an effective flow area of 2.5 square inches, allowing it to manage airflow precisely in smaller turbine setups or space-restricted environments. Its butterfly-shaped disc is permanently attached to the shaft, which ensures consistent movement and reliable control of air flow with minimal play or slippage.

One important feature is its fast response time—less than 320 milliseconds to complete a full open or close stroke. This quick action enables the turbine control system to rapidly adjust pressure levels, preventing overheating and reducing mechanical stress on turbine components.

The valve’s bearing shaft is robustly designed to handle frequent small movements, known as dither cycles, without premature wear. The bearings themselves are specifically engineered to support these high-cycle conditions, improving the valve’s durability and lifespan.

By efficiently managing bleed air, this valve helps protect the turbine from excessive pressure build-up and thermal stress, which can otherwise lead to damage or reduced efficiency. Its design also allows installation without requiring changes to the turbine’s hydraulic or electrical systems, making it suitable for retrofits or upgrades on existing LM2500 turbines.

In summary, the 2.5″ Butterfly Bleed Air Valve plays a vital role in controlling compressor bleed air in LM2500 turbines, balancing safety, performance, and durability within compact or smaller turbine applications.

The 3” Gas Fuel Isolation Valve is designed for use in industrial gas turbines within the oil and gas sector, serving as a vital safety and control device. It regulates the flow of natural gas or compressor discharge air to the turbine, enabling quick isolation of fuel supply during abnormal or emergency conditions to protect the turbine from damage.

This valve features a three-inch outlet flange and is solenoid-pilot actuated, operating on 24 or 95-140 VDC power. It is engineered to withstand high-pressure environments, with natural gas operation rated up to 900 psig and compressor air up to 640 psig. It also endures elevated temperatures, tolerating heat soak conditions up to 400°F for natural gas and up to 800°F for compressor air applications.

Constructed from stainless steel materials compliant with NACE standards, the valve resists corrosion in harsh operating conditions typical in oil and gas facilities. It meets strict safety certifications, including CE-ATEX Group IIA, Category 3, Zone 2, T3, making it suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

The valve operates with a rapid opening time of approximately 110 milliseconds and closes within 1 second, enabling prompt response to operational changes or emergency shutdown signals. Typically installed in pairs to provide dual-redundancy, these valves enhance system safety by ensuring backup isolation capability.

Overall, the 3” Gas Fuel Isolation Valve is essential for maintaining safe, efficient, and reliable turbine operation by controlling and isolating fuel or air flow, thereby preventing damage and reducing the risk of costly downtime in oil and gas power generation applications.

The LM2500+ gas turbine delivers increased power and improved efficiency by building on the proven LM2500 platform. Designed to meet the demanding needs of industrial and offshore operations, it offers a compact, reliable solution for power generation and mechanical drive applications.

The LM2500+ enhances the original LM2500 design by adding a 17-stage high-pressure axial compressor. This additional compressor stage increases airflow and raises the engine’s pressure ratio, resulting in roughly 20% more power output. The turbine uses a ring combustion chamber with advanced dry low emissions (DLE) technology, producing very low levels of NOx and CO emissions to meet strict environmental standards.

A key feature of the LM2500+ is its low-speed turbine section, which is specifically designed for offshore platforms and other space-restricted environments. This turbine’s compact size and modular design allow for easy maintenance, with split compressor casing and in-place blade replacement that reduce downtime and operational complexity. The turbine is factory-tested and pre-wired for straightforward installation, supporting both 50 Hz and 60 Hz power generation without the need for additional equipment like reducers.

Operators benefit from the LM2500+’s enhanced power and fuel efficiency, which help reduce operational costs and improve performance in applications such as combined heat and power systems, industrial power generation, underground gas storage, and gas pipelines. Its modular, space-saving design fits well in offshore installations where size and weight are critical factors.

the LM2500+ ensures continuous performance and maximizes uptime, making it a trusted solution for critical power needs across various industrial and offshore applications.

The LM2500 High Pressure Turbine (HPT) Vertical Stand is a support fixture designed to hold the HPT module of the LM2500 gas turbine in a vertical position. It is mainly used during maintenance, inspection, or transport of the turbine module.

By keeping the turbine upright, the stand helps ensure that the module stays stable and properly aligned while work is being done. This setup also makes it easier for technicians to access certain areas of the HPT that would be harder to reach if the module were lying flat.

The stand is built to handle the weight of the HPT and includes features like mounting points or forklift slots for safe and easy movement within a workshop or maintenance area. It is commonly used in the oil and gas industry where LM2500 turbines are found in power generation or mechanical drive applications.

In short, the HPT Vertical Stand is a practical tool that helps keep the turbine secure, makes maintenance tasks safer, and supports good handling practices.
