The MS6001FA gas turbine is the latest addition to the F-technology family of gas turbines. The design is based on an aerodynamic scaling of the proven MS7001FA and MS9001FA products and is available in both 50 and 60 Hz configurations. As a result of its higher F-technology firing temperature, the 6FA is ideally suited for combined cycle and other heat recovery applications where its performance represents a significant improvement over previously available mid-size gas turbines. This paper describes the basic design of the MS6001FA, including its auxiliary systems. The gas turbine`s performance in simple cycle, combined cycle, repowering, and cogeneration applications is also reviewed.
