1.1.2 Engine Heritage
The LM6000 gas turbine is derived from the GE commercial CF6-80C2 aircraft engine. This engine first entered aircraft service in 1985 and is used extensively in wide-body commercial airliners. More than 2000 “80C2” engines are either on order or in use today.
1.1.3 Simple Design
The LM6000 package is offered in a 50 Hz and 60 Hz design. This document covers the 60 Hz design.
The LM6000 is a 2-shaft gas turbine engine equipped with a low-pressure compressor, high-pressure compressor, combustor, high-high-pressure turbine, and low-high-pressure turbine.

1.1.5 Output Enhancements
Various options are available to improve the typical OUTPUT-MW profile of the LM6000 gas turbine. To improve high ambient temperature performance, either evaporative cooling or coils for mechanical chilling are available.= GE Energy will work with the customer to determine the applicability of of these enhancements to their particular case.
1.1.6 High Availability and Reliability
The LM6000 gas turbine generator set has a proven record of high availability and reliability. With more than 700 units installed since 1992, the LM6000 gas turbine generator set leads the industry in reliability greater than 99.7%* and availability above 98.6%*. Each gas turbine is factory tested to full speed and full load for performance and mechanical integrity. Every package is static tested to check each system of the package. Refer to section 1.2.1 for static testing summary.
Leveraging aircraft experience and design, the aeroderivative design approach incorporates features such as split castings, modular construction, individual replacement of internal and external parts, and GE’s “lease pool” engine program. The extensive use of high quality components common with its parent aircraft engine validates engine reliability and offers reduced parts cost.
Various inspections and hot section repairs can be performed on the gas turbine at site within the turbine enclosure. The “Hot Section”,HPT and combustor, can be removed/replaced in the field within seventy-two hours allowing for greater availability during planned maintenance. Greater availability is achieved by the on-condition maintenance program, which inspects and repairs only as necessary to desired operational condition.

7. Mechanical Descriptions - Major Equipment
7.1
Turbine Engine
LM6000 Turbine Engine
The LM6000 is a 2-shaft gas turbine engine derived from the core of the CF6-80C2, GE's high thrust, high efficiency aircraft engine. More than eighteen hundred CF6-80C2s are in service and 2,000 or more are on order or option. The CF6-80C2 has logged more than 30,000,000 flight hours in the Boeing 747 and other wide-body aircraft, with a 99.88% dispatch reliability and commercial aviation's lowest shop visit rate. GE used this 30 million hour flight experience to create the LM6000. Both engines have a common design and share most major parts. The Low Pressure Turbine, High Pressure Compressor, High Pressure Turbine, and Combustor are virtually identical. This use of flight-proven parts, produced in high volume, contributes to the low initial cost and high operating efficiency of the LM6000.
LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008 Page 34 of 156
7.1
Turbine Engine (Cont)
Major Engine Components:
• 5-stage low-pressure compressor (LPC)
• 14-stage variable geometry high pressure compressor (HPC)
• Annular combustor
• 2-stage air-cooled high pressure turbine (HPT)
• 5-stage low pressure turbine (LPT)
• Accessory Gear Box
The LM6000 has two concentric rotor shafts: The LPC and LPT are assembled on one shaft, forming the Low Pressure Rotor. The HPC and HPT are assembled on the other shaft, forming the High Pressure Rotor.
The LM6000 uses the Low Pressure Turbine (LPT) to power the output shaft. By eliminating the separate power turbine found in many other gas turbines, the LM6000 design simplifies the engine, improves fuel efficiency and permits direct-coupling to 3600 rpm generators for 60 Hz power generation. The LM6000 gas turbine drives the generator via a flexible dry type coupling connected to the front, or “cold,” end of the LPC shaft.
7.1.1 Turbine Cycle
• Filtered air enters the bellmouth and flows through guide vanes to the LPC
• LPC compresses air by 2.4:1 ratio
• Air flows from LPC through the front frame & bypass air collector to HPC
• Air enters HPC through Inlet Guide Vanes
• The HPC compresses air by 12:1 ratio
• 30 Fuel (SAC) nozzles or 75 fuel (DLE) nozzles mix air and fuel
• Air-Fuel mixture is ignited in Annular Combustor
• Hot combustion gases expand through HPT driving the HPC
• Hot combustion gasses expand further through LPT driving the LPC and load
• Flanged end of the LPC shaft drives the electric generator load.
LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008 Page 35 of 156
7.1.2 Inlet and IGV Section
The turbine inlet straightens the air stream and directs it into the Low Pressure Compressor (LPC).
7.1.3 Low Pressure Compressor
The Low Pressure Compressor (LPC) is a 5-stage axial flow compressor with a 2.4:1 pressure ratio. It is derived from the CF6-50 flight engine. A horizontally split casing provides access to blades and vanes. Borescope ports permit flow path inspection.
7.1.4 Bypass Air Collector
The LM6000 matches the airflow between the Low Pressure (LP) and High Pressure Compressor (HPC) with 12 hydraulically actuated variable bypass valves mounted in the turbine front frame. During start-up and part-load operation these valves open partially and vent excess air to the bypass air collector. The bypass air collector also supports the accessory gearbox.
7.1.5 High Pressure Compressor
The LM6000 High Pressure Compressor (HPC) is a 14-stage unit. Variable stators in stages 1-5 ensure high efficiency throughout the starting and operating range. The stator geometry of stages 6 through 14 is fixed horizontally. This allows ready access to the stator vanes and rotor blades for inspection or replacement.
7.1.6 Combustion Section
7.1.6.1 Singular Annular Combustor (SAC)
Thirty nozzles feed fuel into the LM6000 annular combustor, providing a uniform heat profile to the High Pressure Turbine (HPT). This produces maximum output with low thermal stress. The swirler-cup dome design produces a lean thoroughly mixed, mixture in the primary zone of the combustor. This provides cleaner combustion and reduces NOX. Available nozzle designs allow natural gas, distillate or dual-fuel operation. The nozzles also permit NOX reduction with water injection (natural gas and distillate fuels) and steam injection (natural gas fuel only). The annular combustor design provides low pressure loss, low exit temperature and extended operating life. A Hastelloy X inner liner resists corrosion and extends combustor life.

The DLE system controls NOx emissions without the use of water or steam. GE Energy installs special combustors, manifolds, nozzles and metering to control flame temperature and reduce emissions of NOx, CO and unburned hydrocarbons. This DLE system reduces emissions over the entire power range, not just at high power settings.
The fuel system hardware supplied with the DLE gas turbine includes a base mounted gas manifold, hoses, staging valves, and a set of thirty fuel premixers. The LM6000 DLE gas turbine utilizes a lean premix combustion system designed for operation on natural gas fuel as well as dual fuel. Gas fuel is introduced into the combustor via 75 air/gas premixers packaged in 30 externally removable and replaceable modules. The premixers produce a very uniformly mixed, lean fuel/air mixture. The triple annular configuration enables the combustor to operate in premix mode across the entire power range, minimizing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions even at low power.
The head end or dome of the combustor supports 75 segmented heat shields that form the three annular burning zones in the combustor, known as the outer or A-dome, the pilot or B-dome, and the inner or C-dome. In addition to forming the three annular domes, the heat shields isolate the structural dome plate from the hot combustion gases. The heat shields are an investment-cast superalloy and are impingement and convection cooled. The combustion liners are front mounted with thermal barrier coating (TBC) and no film cooling.
Fuel to the gas turbine will be controlled based on control mode, fuel schedules, and the load condition. For normal start sequence (13 minutes), gradual load changes are preferred with at least 5-minute ramp from idle to maximum power. If a fast start (10 minutes) is required, the load may be ramped from idle to full load in 4 minutes as part of the start sequence provided in Operation. Normal load reduction transients should be no faster than 2-3 minutes from maximum power to synchronous idle.
7.1.7 High Pressure Turbine
The High Pressure Turbine (HPT) is a 2-stage, air-cooled turbine rotated by the hot gasses exiting the combustor. The HPT powers the High Pressure Compressor (HPC) to supply high-pressure air to the combustor. Turbine disks, blades and stator are air-cooled for efficiency. Blades are coated to resist erosion and corrosion.
7.1.8 Low Pressure Turbine
The 5-stage Low Pressure Turbine (LPT) receives the outlet flow from the HPT. The LPT drives the Low Pressure Compressor and the driven load (generator, compressor, etc.) through a shaft concentric to the HPT shaft.
LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008 Page 37 of 156
The LM6000 gas turbine uses three frames to support the LP and HP rotors, the front frame, compressor rear frame and the turbine rear frame. This configuration produces excellent rotor stability and closely controlled blade tip clearance.
7.1.9.1
Front Frame
The LM6000 front frame is a major engine structure that provides sup-port for the LPC shaft and the forward end of the HPC shaft. The frame also forms an airflow path between the outlet of the LPC and the inlet of the HPC. The front engine mounts attach to the front frame. The front frame contains the engine “A” sump that incorporates the thrust and radial bearings to support the LPC rotor and a radial bearing which supports the forward end of the HPC rotor. Lubrication oil supply and scavenge lines for the “A” sump are routed inside the front frame struts. The accessory gearbox drive shaft is located in the “A” sump and extends out through the strut located at the six o’clock position.
Pads are contained on the frame outer case for mounting of the two High Pressure Compressor inlet temperature sensors.
7.1.9.2
Compressor Rear Frame
The compressor rear frame consists of an outer case, 10 struts and the “B-C” sump housing. The outer case supports the combustor and 30 fuel nozzles. The hub supports both the thrust bearing, the radial bearing and in turn, the mid-section of the HP rotor system.
7.1.9.3
Turbine Rear Frame
The turbine rear frame supports the rear engine mount and contains the D-E sump. The 14-strut rear frame guides and straightens the exhaust flow for lower pressure drop and greater efficiency.
7.1.10 Accessory Drive System
The hydraulic starter, lube and scavenge pump, variable geometry hydraulic pump, and other accessories are mounted on and driven by the accessory gearbox. The accessory gearbox is located below the front HPC casing at the six o'clock position on the LPC bleed air collector and is driven by the transfer gearbox through a short horizontal shaft. The transfer gearbox is driven by the high-pressure rotor system. The gearbox is supported from the LPC bleed air collector.

7.4.1 Filtration Specification
The LM6000 static barrier filter removes more than 99.9% of all particles 5.0 micron and larger by utilizing a three-stage design.
Engine Combustion Air 230,000 scfm / 6,514 m3/min
Turbine Ventilation Air 60,000 scfm / 1,699 m3/min.
Generator Ventilation Air 45,000 scfm / 1,274 m3/min.
Total Typical Air Flow 355,000 scfm / 9,487 m3/min.
7.4.2 General Arrangement
The three-section inlet air filter mounts directly above the turbine enclosure, conserving space and providing compact, low-pressure loss ducting to the turbine inlet.
The filtered air is partitioned within the filter house assembly, providing combustion air for the gas turbine and ventilation air for the turbine and generator compartments.
The filter is designed for easy maintenance. A ladder and platform provides access to service doors on each filter section. Lighted internal walkways provide generous working room for replacement and maintenance of the filter elements.

7.4.3 Filter House Materials
7.4.4 Inlet Screens/Weatherhood
The weather hood provides a deflecting surface to prevent driving rain and snow from entering the filter house. In addition paper, leaves and wind-blown trash are blocked by the inlet screen. This structural component makes up the exterior face of the filter house and is manufactured from carbon steel.
The filter housing is constructed of 3/16 inch / 76 mm (verify units) steel plate. Protective paint is applied to the exterior and interior carbon steel surfaces.
Floors and drain pans downstream of the optional evaporative cooler media or optional inlet air chiller coils are stainless steel to resist corrosion.
LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008 Page 42 of 156
7.4.5 Barrier Filter
7.4.6 Clean Air Plenum
7.4.7 Transition Ducts
Combustion air flows through a transition duct from the clean air plenum to the combustion air inlet silencer. Ventilation air flows through transition ducts to the turbine and generator compartment.
7.4.8 Inlet Silencer
The inlet silencer is a low-pressure-drop device located in the combustion air stream before the inlet volute. The silencer attenuates noise from the turbine and helps maintain the unit's low noise level.
7.4.9 Inlet Volute
The inlet volute is stainless steel weldment that directs the combustion air flowing down from the filter and turns it 90° to flow axially into the turbine inlet. Vanes within the volute smooth the airflow and present a balanced air stream to the turbine bellmouth.
The high-efficiency cylindrical barrier filter elements are mounted to the filter face of the inlet plenum and extend into the clean air plenum. The elements have extended surface area, large dirt holding capacity and low-pressure drop. Air flows through the elements from inside to outside keeping dirt safely trapped inside the element. The filter elements are designed specifically for gas turbine protection, and are particularly effective in filtering particles 5 microns or larger.
Air passes through the barrier filters and enters the clean air plenum. This fabricated structure is the center section of the inlet filter assembly and separates ventilation air from combustion air.

7.5
Package Enclosures
The package is equipped with a generator and a turbine enclosures plus an optional auxiliary module enclosure is available. The unit enclosures are designed for outdoor installation with wind loads up to 150 mph / 240 km/h and to reduce the average near field noise to 85 dB (A) at 3 ft. / 1.0 m from the enclosure and 5 ft. / 1.5m above grade. Each compartment is provided with access doors and AC lighting.
The turbine compartment contains an integral overhead bridge crane to facilitate engine removal.
Enclosure walls are a “sandwich” construction filled with insulation blankets of high temperature, sound attenuating material. The inner wall panel is fabricated from perforated 1.21 mm / 18-gauge stainless steel. The outer wall panel is 1.9 mm / 14-gauge cold rolled carbon steel, painted with abrasion resistant, exterior quality epoxy paint.
The turbine and generator compartment walls are supported by a structural steel framework that can withstand external wind loading and the internal pressure developed by the fire extinguishing system. External door hinges, latches and mounting hardware are stainless steel or chrome plated.
7.5.1 Enclosure Lighting
AC lighting for the interior of the gas turbine and generator compartments is provided.
7.5.2 Enclosure Ventilation System
The ventilation system removes heat from the turbine and generator compartments and removes combustible gases in the event of a fuel system failure. Both the turbine compartment and generator compartment are fully ventilated by redundant fans to improve reliability. Ventilation air is filtered to the same quality levels as the gas turbine combustion air.

LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008 Page 45 of 156
7.5.2.1 Turbine Compartment Ventilation
Ventilation air enters the turbine compartment around the inlet collector. Dual 125 hp / 93 kW exhaust fans (1 running / 1 standby) create an induced-draft airflow of approximately 60,000 scfm / 1,699 m3.
7.5.2.2 Generator Compartment Ventilation
Filtered air is forced into the generator compartment by dual 100 hp / 75 kW forced draft fans (1 running / 1 stand-by) through ducts from the inlet air filter. The 45,000 scfm / 1,270 m3/min. airflow cools the generator and the generator compartment.
The ventilation fans produce a positive pressure in the generator compartment, providing additional isolation from the turbine compartment for gas leak protection purposes. This contributes to classification of the generator compartment as a non-hazardous area.
7.5.3 Noise Control
Lower noise limits can be provided with optional silencing equipment. Noise control will depend on the scope of the equipment supplied, the site plan, and project specific requirements.
7.5.4 Turbine Exhaust
The LM6000 exhausts air is extracted axially through a flange located at the end of the turbine enclosure. This provides low restrictions and a direct path into optional, or customer-supplied silencing or heat recovery equipment.
7.6
Baseplate
LM6000 generator sets are mounted on rugged I-beam baseplates to simplify shipping and installation.
The basic equipment is supplied with the support structures consisting of a two-piece skid assembly, which is sectioned between the gas turbine and the generator. The full depth, bolted section is designed to provide the full structural properties of the wide flange I-beams. Full depth crossmembers are utilized to provide a rigid design that meets the requirements of IBC 2006 and is therefore suitable for installation in earthquake areas. The baseplate support system is enhanced by the installation of a heavy-duty, welded superstructure which utilizes 6 inch x 6 inch x 3/8 inch wall structural tubing for wall columns and roof beams.
The LM6000 enclosure and air inlet silencer reduce the average near field noise to 85 dB (A) at 3 ft. / 1.0 m from the enclosure and 5 ft / 1.5 m above grade.
LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008 Page 46 of 156
Tapered pins between the baseplates simplify field alignment and lifting spools are built into the baseplates providing a convenient structure for transportation.
7.7

7.7.1.2 Pressure and Temperature Monitoring
Pressure transmitters monitor the fuel supply pressure up stream and downstream of the fuel metering valve and forward the data to the fuel control and sequencer system. A platinum, dual element temperature RTD monitors fuel supply temperature and forwards the data to the fuel control and sequencer system.
7.7.1.3 Fuel Shutoff Valves and Safety Venting
Fuel shutoff valves manage gas flow to the combustor. Solenoid piloted fuel shutoff valves are quick-closure valve assemblies located upstream and downstream of the gas fuel metering valve. These fail-close valves are either fully open to allow fuel flow or fully closed to prevent fuel flow.
During startup, the shutoff valves are opened and fuel flow to the gas manifold is metered by the gas fuel metering valve. During shutdown, when the shutoff valves are closed, a solenoid-operated vent valve opens to vent the fuel supply line between shutoff valves to a safe area. A gas fuel drain valve opens during certain shutdown conditions to purge the gas manifold and the engine.
