V84. 3A gas turbine takes aero-engine technologies to new heights
With the introduction of the V84.3A gas turbine, Siemens is taking to new heights the application of aero-engine technologies into heavy-duty gas turbines. Featuring the new Siemens HBR combustion system, and all-new compressor and turbine sections using state-of-the-art aircraft engine technologies from Pratt Whitney, the 165 MW-class V81.3A gas turbine is designed to provide high efficiency and low emissions in 60 Hz power generation applications around the world. Regardless of application - base load, combined-cycle or peaking - the V84.3A gas turbine sets a new standard for total life-cycle cost, offering utility and independent power producers a new [open quotes]strategic weapon[close quotes] in the very competitive electric power generation marketplace. With a modest 20[degree]C increase in firing temperature (to 1310[degree]C) and no change in compression ratio (16:1), the new gas turbine provides two percentage points better efficiency in simple-cycle operation.
