10 GE Gas Turbines
The most recent addition to the GE family of gas turbines is the MS5002E which delivers high
efficiency, low environmental impact and high reliability. This dual-shaft gas turbine has proven its
capability for use in power generation and mechanical drive applications.
The MS5002E uses GE’s state-of-the-art combustion technology (DLN2.5H) which has accumulated
more than 14 million firing hours in the “F/FA” Class GE Frame gas turbine. This model was designed to
maintain or exceed the availability and reliability of previous Frame5 models. To maximize hot parts life
duration, the firing temperature was kept approximately 100°C lower than that of the “F/FA” Class.
Superior efficiency was achieved through the use of advanced design tools to optimize airfoils (for both
axial compressor and turbine sections), clearances, leakages and the distribution of cooling flows.
Compared to the MS5002C and D or MS5001, the efficiency gain of the MS5002E results in a reduction
in emissions of over 20,000 tons of CO2 per year, equivalent to the amount of C02 absorbed by 20 sq
km of forest in a year. In addition, the MS5002E NOx emission level is down to 18 ppm. These
achievements make the environmental impact of the MS5002E the lowest in its class.
The design of the MS5002E was thoroughly validated through an extensive test program that included
a full scale test of the axial compressor, and full scale rotordynamic testing and full load testing of the
gas turbine system in both mechanical and generator string tests.
The MS5002E is ready for the Oil & Gas market and will provide customers with the benefits of a long
lasting and reliable machine combined with low environmental impact and low operating
costs. The first requisition unit will start at the customer’s site in September of ‘07.
