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 T5.4 thermocouple is a temperature-sensing probe used in LM2500 gas turbines to measure exhaust gas temperature (EGT). The label T5.4 refers to its specific position in the turbine\'s exhaust thermocouple array—zone T5 (turbine exhaust), sensor 4. These sensors are part of a system that monitors thermal conditions at multiple points in the exhaust stream.

This thermocouple operates in high-temperature environments, withstanding continuous exposure up to approximately 1100°C. It is built to maintain accuracy and reliability under the thermal stress and vibration typical in gas turbine applications.

T5.4 thermocouples are often used with flexible
