Abstract
When first introduced into industrial service in 1970, the General Electric LM2500 (the first of the second generation aircraft derivative units to enter industrial service) represented a significant advance in gas turbine technology in the areas of improved simple cycle efficiency--now up to 37 per cent on natural gas fuel--on site maintenance capability and high levels of reliability/availability. During the 11 years since initial introduction numerous product improvements have been introduced to expand the power range, extend the scheduled maintenance levels, further improve reliability/availability and increase the application flexibility of the LM2500. The higher power LM5000 gas turbine, which is derived from the CF6-50 aircraft turbofan engine, is also described in this article.
