Advantages of the LM6000 gas turbine upgrade
With the LM6000 peak performance upgrade kit, customers can see:
- Increases between 5% – 10% over current gas turbine performance have been achieved, providing viable economic benefits offsetting expected accelerated engine life
- Advanced monitoring algorithms to accurately track life impact, specifically logging: time, T48 temperature, SPRINT® flow, and NOx water flow
What can the LM6000 upgrade do for you?
- Increased SPRINT* water flow to suppress the T3 temperature to push the controls into T48 control
- Increased T48 maximum temperature to produce more power.
- Maximum NOx water ratio of 1:1
- Operable at T2 temperatures between 45°F and 85°F
This LM6000 gas turbine performance upgrade kit requires modifications
- Turbine modifications—the turbine requires that SPRINT* and VIGVs are installed, and that a borescope inspection is performed every 4,000 operating hours
- For condition-based maintenance; the service factors are current as follows:
- Fired hours factor of 2.5—every hour in peak performance is equivalent to 2.5 fired hours
- Cycle factor of 3.8—every cycle of peak performance is equivalent to 3.8 starts
- Controls modifications—upgrade to the latest fuel control software; possibly upgrade control system hardware; Tier 1 RM&D service is required; life tracking in control software and displayed on HMI
