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.

The LM2500 Wrench – Horizontal/Vertical HPT Coupling Nut is a specialized maintenance tool designed for the LM2500 gas turbine engine. This wrench is used to install and remove the High Pressure Turbine (HPT) coupling nut, a critical component that secures the HPT rotor to the turbine shaft.

Removing and installing the coupling nut is necessary during major maintenance activities like rotor inspections, repairs, or when replacing key turbine components. Proper removal allows technicians to safely separate the rotor from the shaft, while correct installation ensures the rotor is securely fastened for reliable engine operation.

What makes this wrench stand out is its ability to work with both horizontal and vertical engine positions. This means technicians can use it easily no matter how the engine is set up, making maintenance simpler and more flexible.

Built to precise standards and made from tough materials, the wrench ensures the right amount of force is applied when tightening or loosening the coupling nut. This careful control helps protect the engine’s important parts from damage.

By using this wrench, maintenance teams can complete their work faster and with confidence, reducing downtime and keeping the turbine reliable. It’s an essential tool that supports the smooth operation of the LM2500 engine.

The Gas Check Valve is a unidirectional valve used in LM2500 gas turbine systems to prevent the reverse flow of combustion gases into critical fuel and oil lines. Its primary function is to maintain the correct flow direction, ensuring that gases only travel toward the combustion chamber and not back into upstream components, where reverse flow could cause damage, safety risks, or system inefficiencies.

This check valve is engineered to operate under the high-pressure and high-temperature conditions typical of industrial gas turbine environments. It serves as a passive safety component, requiring no external power to function, and contributes to the overall reliability and integrity of the turbine system.

Commonly found in aero-derivative gas turbines used in oil and gas applications, the check valve is essential for maintaining proper system performance. Its inclusion in the turbine’s gas path helps ensure safe operation by minimizing the risk of combustion gas contamination in auxiliary systems.

The Single Annular Combustor (SAC) version of the LM2500+G4 is designed for oil and gas applications that prioritize consistent performance, fuel flexibility, and emissions control—such as LNG facilities, gas processing plants, and pipeline compression, both onshore and offshore.

What makes the SAC version different is its simpler combustor design compared to dual annular or premix types. The SAC uses a through-flow, venturi swirler to ensure an even temperature profile at the turbine inlet, helping extend hot section life. It features individually replaceable fuel nozzles, a durable machined-ring liner, and a thermal barrier coating for better resistance to high temperatures and corrosion. This design supports both dry operation (with higher emissions) and water or steam injection to reduce NOx when needed—making it adaptable to site-specific emission regulations.

The LM2500+G4 SAC builds on the proven LM2500+ design, with approximately 10% more power. This gain comes from increased airflow, improved internal cooling, and material upgrades—while keeping the same number of compressor and turbine stages. The 17-stage high-pressure axial compressor and the basic engine layout remain unchanged, making it easy to maintain and service.

The engine can run on a wide range of liquid and gas fuels, allowing flexibility in remote or supply-constrained locations. It achieves up to 40% thermal efficiency in simple cycle mode. Water-injected operation enables NOx emissions as low as 25 ppm (gas) and 42 ppm (liquid).

In short, the LM2500+G4 SAC is well-suited for high-power mechanical drive and power generation in harsh or remote oil and gas environments, offering a balance of power output, fuel versatility, and emissions control.

The Bearing, Roller, Cylindrical No. 6R is a precision-engineered component used in LM2500 aero-derivative gas turbines commonly employed in the oil and gas sector. Installed at the No. 6R position, this cylindrical roller bearing supports the turbine’s rotor shaft by carrying radial loads and maintaining accurate shaft alignment during high-speed operation.

Its specialized roller design allows it to withstand intense mechanical stresses and thermal changes typical in demanding oil and gas environments. By reducing vibration and ensuring smooth rotation, the bearing contributes to stable and efficient turbine performance, which is critical for continuous operation in upstream, midstream, and downstream applications.

The No. 6R bearing’s role in maintaining precise shaft positioning supports the overall durability and reliability of LM2500 turbines used in gas compression, power generation, and offshore platforms, making it a key element in sustaining safe and efficient operations within the oil and gas industry.

The LM2500XPRESS+G4 DLE UPT is a fast-deployable gas turbine system engineered for demanding oil and gas environments—onshore or offshore. It offers a balanced combination of power, efficiency, and installation speed, making it especially suited for upstream, midstream, and LNG operations where reliable electricity and mechanical drive are critical and timelines are tight.

At the core of this system is the LM2500+G4 gas generator, a proven design that delivers higher output and efficiency than earlier models, thanks to improvements in airflow, thermal capability, and cooling. It strikes a solid middle ground in the 20–40 MW class—powerful enough to support heavy oilfield infrastructure but lighter and more flexible than larger industrial turbines.

The Dry Low Emissions (DLE) combustion system helps meet environmental regulations without relying on water or steam injection—a major advantage for remote or offshore sites where water supply is limited or emissions compliance is strict.

The Upgraded Power Turbine (UPT) adds flexibility in terms of shaft speed and load-following, which makes this unit adaptable for various oil and gas power demands—from continuous baseload operation to backup and peaking support.

Its XPRESS configuration emphasizes rapid deployment. The turbine is delivered in a compact, modular format, pre-assembled into a small number of transportable units with simplified electrical and mechanical interconnections. This minimizes site work, shortens commissioning time to a matter of weeks, and reduces exposure to remote-site construction risks.
