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 GEs 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. Exhaust gasses exit engine/package at the exhaust flange
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.
7.1.6.1.1 Dry Low Emissions (DLE) Combustor
LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008 Page 36 of 156
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.
7.1.9 Gas Turbine Support Structures
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 oclock 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.

AIR FILTER
Air Inlet Filter Assembly
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.
LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008 Page 43 of 156
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.

Gas Turbine Generator Package Airflow
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 m
3/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 Fuel System
The LM6000 gas turbine can be configured for gas, liquid or dual fuel operation. The basic gas fuel system is described below. Other configurations are available as options.
7.7.1 Gas Fuel System
The gas fuel system contains the following major components. They are mounted in the turbine compartment, adjacent to the engine.
Fuel gas strainer Fuel gas flow meter Instrumentation Primary shutoff valve Fuel metering valve Secondary shutoff valve Fuel gas manifold Shipped loose manual shut-off valve
7.7.1.1 Gas Fuel Flow
Gas fuel must be supplied to the package baseplate connection at 675 +30/-20 psig / 4,053 4,962 kPag. Please see Section 14 for applicable fuel specification. Lower fuel supply pressure requirements for base load operation may be possible in certain circumstances.
A customer supplied pressure regulator, pressure relief valve and GE supplied manually operated shut-off valve should be installed in the customer fuel supply system outside of main unit.

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.
LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008 Page 48 of 156
7.7.1.4 Fuel-Metering Valve
The electronically controlled fuel valve provides accurate, non-pulsating fuel flow to the turbine during starting, steady-state operation and dynamic load changes.
Low fuel gas pressure starting is possible, using the electrical output of the LM6000 to power a fuel gas compressor. The LM6000 can start on a minimum 200 psig / 1,380 kPag fuel gas pressure. At this pressure the LM6000 produces enough electrical power to start a fuel gas compressor. The compressor then builds the fuel gas pressure up for full power output.
This bootstrap starting simplifies gas utility requirements and eliminates high electrical demand charges for starting the gas compressor motors. Contact GE for your specific application.
7.8 Independent Lube Oil Systems
The LM6000 gas turbine is lubricated with synthetic lube oil (SLO) while a separate mineral lube oil (MLO) system lubricates the generator. Dual shell and tube coolers with valves for on-line changeover are used to cool both turbine and generator lube oil. The SLO & MLO coolers are mounted on the auxiliary module.
Lube oil piping, fittings and reservoirs are Type 304 stainless steel and valves have stainless steel trim.
7.8.1 Gas Turbine Lube Oil System
The gas turbine lube oil system has two lube oil circuits:
Supply System - Provides filtered, cool oil to the turbine bearings. Scavenge System - Recovers (scavenges) the lube oil from the bearing drain sumps. It also filters and cools the oil and returns it to the reservoir.
These two circuits cool, lubricate and protect the turbine. The turbine supply system contains the following major components:

LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008 Page 50 of 156
7.8.1.1 Turbine Lube Oil Supply Description
Approximately 130 U.S. gallons / 492 l of synthetic lube oil are stored in the 150 U.S. gallon / 568 l capacity stainless steel reservoir mounted on the auxiliary module. The reservoir is fitted with a low-level alarm switch, a level gauge, a level transmitter, a filler connection, and a demister/flame arrestor. The reservoir also includes a thermostatically controlled heater and a lube oil temperature transmitter.
A positive displacement lube oil pump, mounted on the gas turbine accessory drive gearbox, takes suction from the lube oil reservoir. The pump discharge is filtered by a duplex, 6 micron (absolute), full-flow filter located on the auxiliary module. Filter elements can be changed while the turbine is running.
Pressure transmitters and temperature RTDs monitor lube oil supply with readout, alarm and shutdown at the turbine control panel. Chip detectors in the A and B sumps and in the common scavenge return provide alarms if metal chips are detected in the lube oil. A differential pressure transmitter senses filter differential pressure and warns the operator of dirty filter conditions.
7.8.1.2 Turbine Lube Oil Scavenge Description
Oil flows through the turbine bearings and accumulates in the bearing sumps. A 5-element scavenge pump is connected to a low point drain in each sump. Whenever the engine is turning the scavenge pump is working to remove oil from the sump drains.
The scavenge pump discharge flows through a 6 micron (absolute) duplex filter, then is cooled by a shell and tube cooler, (1 running / 1 standby) and then returns the oil to the reservoir.
A temperature RTD on each scavenge line measures temperature, with readout, alarm and shutdown at the turbine control panel. A check valve on the pump discharge prevents siphoning of oil back into the engine during shutdown.
Each bearing sump is vented by the air/oil separator system, consisting of a pre-separator, air-to-oil cooler, and a final separator. Recovered oil drains back to the reservoir to reduce emissions and oil consumption.
A shell and tube cooler (1 running / 1 standby) rejects 600,000 Btu/hr / 633,100 kJ/hr from the turbine lube oil circuit. A thermostatic valve regulates the amount of hot oil that bypasses the cooler.
The lube oil supply passes through an anti-siphon check valve and is distributed to the bearing chambers, where oil is sprayed onto each engine bearing.
LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008 Page 51 of 156
7.8.2 Generator Lube Oil System
The generator lubrication system provides approximately 46 gpm / 174 lpm of cooled and filtered mineral oil to the generator bearings. The generator lube oil reservoir, pumps and duplex filters and coolers are located near the rear of the generator and lube oil filters may be changed while the unit is operating. Filters have stainless steel plates. Valves are carbon steel bodies with stainless steel trim.
The generator lube oil system has two lube oil circuits:
Supply System Provides cool, filtered oil to the generator bearings. The supply system contains the following major components:
MLO reservoir AC pump Generator driven mechanical pump Four-element jacking oil pump Duplex shell and tube heat exchanger Duplex filter
Return System - Recovers the lube oil from the bearing drain sumps and returns it to the reservoir.
These two circuits cool, lubricate and protect the generator.
LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008 Page 52 of 156
Simplified Schematic Generator Lube Oil System (Supply Flow)
7.8.2.1 Generator Lube Oil Supply Description
The 60 Hz generator lubrication system provides approximately 174 Lpm/46 gpm of cooled and filtered oil to the generator bearings
The generator/gearbox lube oil reservoir, pumps and filters are located on a separate lube oil module. The lube oil filters may be changed while the unit is operating.
The simplex shell & tube coolers serving the generator lube oil system are also located on the lube oil module. Filters have stainless steel plates. Valves have stainless steel trim.
The stainless steel reservoir includes a sight level gauge, fill connection and drain valve. A switch provides a low-level alarm at the unit control panel. An immersion heater turns on at 32C falling temperature keeping the oil heated to prevent condensation when the unit is stopped.
The 60 Hz lube system has three pumps mounted on the reservoir: o Main Pump 1,250 Lpm/330 gpm with a 37.3 kW AC motor
LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008 Page 53 of 156
o Stand By Pump 1,250 Lpm/330 gpm, with a 37.3 kW AC motor o Emergency Pump 550 Lpm/145 gpm with a 12 kW DC motor o
The reservoir assembly includes: o Duplex 100% filters o Duplex shell and tube heat exchangers sized to reject 2,943.8 MJ/hr o Oil-mist heat exchanger and motor-driven oil demister
Rundown tanks provide additional protection if the AC lube pumps should fail, or if AC power is lost. A DC pump provides coastdown protection.
The oil flows through the orifice and into the bearings and forms a film that cools and lubricates the journal. Pressure switches at the bearing supply header provide low pressure alarm and shutdown signals to the unit control panel.
If the supply pressure drops, a low lube oil pressure switch automatically starts the auxiliary lube oil pump. An annunciator alarm indicates that the auxiliary pump is running. If the lube oil pressure falls to a lower level, the turbine generator set shuts down.
The primary and auxiliary lube oil pumps can each supply 100% of the generator lube oil requirements. Each pump is equipped with a pressure relief valve piped to the reservoir. Lube oil pressure at the supply header is controlled by a pressure-regulating valve, which bypasses excessive oil flow to the reservoir. Duplex coolers are provided to reject 198.1 MJ/hr from the generator lube oil circuit. The amount of hot oil that bypasses the cooler is regulated by a thermostatic valve.
The duplex generator / gearbox lube oil filters (6 micron absolute) are mounted on the lube oil module. Filters may be replaced during operation by switching the manual transfer valve. A pressure switch senses high filter differential pressure and provides alarm at 20 psid/138 kPa.

Simplified Schematic Generator Lube Oil System (Bearing Lubrication) 7.8.2.2 Generator Lube Oil Return Description
Each bearing has a gravity drain and sight glass to visually verify oil flow. A dual element RTD is embedded in each generator bearing to measure the actual metal temperature. These RTDs are continuously monitored at the unit control panel and provide alarm and trip signals at 183F/91.6C and 194F/95C, respectively. The gearbox has a turning gear to rotate the shaft. The gearbox bearing RTDs alarm and trip at 225F/107C and 241F/116C respectively.
For starting and water wash cycles, we lift the generator rotor off the bearing seats with a film of high-pressure oil from a small jacking oil pump. The oil film reduces bearing friction and helps the rotor break away and begin turning.

7.8.3 Customer Cooling Water Requirements
Customer provides continuous water to the lube oil cooler flange connections. Approximate cooling water requirements are 190 gpm at 95 F / 719 lpm at 35 C. Maximum water pressure is 100 psig / 689 kPag. Total heat rejection for turbine and generator is 787,800 Btu/hr / 831,200 kJ/hr.
7.9 Starting System
The LM6000 turbine is started by an electro-hydraulic system, including an electric motor, a pump, a hydraulic starter motor, and other equipment described below. The starter rotates the LM6000 high-pressure compressor shaft for purging, cool down, engine starting and water wash sequences.
The hydraulic start system consists of a hydraulic starting motor / clutch mounted on the turbine accessory gearbox, the following equipment mounted on the auxiliary module:
200 HP / 150 kW electric starting pump motor Variable displacement hydraulic pump 40 gal. / 151 l hydraulic reservoir Air/oil cooler Low pressure return filter and case drain return filter

Simplified Schematic Hydraulic Start System
7.9.1 Hydraulic Start System Flow
The hydraulic circuit is a closed loop design with a 40-gallon / 151 L reservoir. The system requires an initial fill of approximately 35 gallons / 132 l of ISO VG 46 premium, anti-wear petroleum-based hydraulic fluid.
During each start cycle a charge-pump portion of the main pump draws fluid from the reservoir to prime the system and supply control oil. Controls modulate the main pump flow from zero to approximately 55 gpm / 208 Lpm during the starting cycle. This permits accurate control of gas generator speed for purging, ignition and acceleration. The starter pump increases the hydraulic fluid pressure and delivers the pressurized fluid to the hydraulic starter motor. A portion of the return fluid from the starter motor is routed back to the starter pump. Before reaching the main hydraulic pump on the auxiliary skid, the oil is filtered through a low-pressure, return filter.
Low-pressure hydraulic fluid from the starter motor case is routed off the main skid to the auxiliary skid. On the auxiliary skid, the hydraulic fluid flows through a case drain return filter and a air to oil heat exchanger before returning to the reservoir.
7.9.2 Starting System Operation
To start the gas turbine, the hydraulic motor must: Rotate the gas generator to purge the engine Accelerate the gas generator to ignition speed Continue acceleration to self-sustaining speed
The starter accelerates the gas generator to 2,300 rpm and cranks for two minutes in typical simple cycle applications. This forces purging air through the gas turbine and exhaust stack to remove hydrocarbons that may have accumulated during the prior shutdown.
Air-flow during the purge cycle is approximately 7842 scfm / 12,600 Nm3/h / 10 lbs/sec. After the purge cycle, the gas generator is slowed to 1700 rpm for light off. Fuel is initiated, igniters are actuated, and the turbine starts. Then the starter and the combustion accelerate the gas generator to 4500 rpm where the starter disengages automatically.
The gas generator continues to accelerate until it reaches idle speed. The turbine is now self-sustaining.
Overall start time varies with stack height; also units with heat recovery steam generators will require a longer purge cycle, typically 15 to 30 minutes.
LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008 Page 57 of 156
However, the typical LM6000 in simple cycle application can reach full power from a cold start in 10 minutes. See Section 5 for 10-minute start cycle curve.
7.10 Water Wash System
All gas turbines demonstrate lower levels of performance if the airfoils are not in a clean condition. An integral soak wash system is provided for on/offline cleaning. See Section 14 for compressor cleaning water/detergent specifications. GE Energy LM6000 units include a unit mounted on-line cleaning system to remove deposits from the compressor airfoils. The off-line or crank-soak water wash system is for thorough removal of built-up deposits. This system requires the turbine to be off-line for a short time. The on-line cleaning system is used to remove deposits while the turbine is running. This system extends the intervals between crank-soak cleanings and reduces downtime.
Simplified Schematic Water Wash System
7.10.1 Water Wash Equipment
Both on-line and off-line spray nozzles are mounted on the Inlet Air Volute on the main baseplate. The remaining water wash equipment below is mounted on the auxiliary module:

100 gallon / 379 l stainless steel reservoir Manual water and chemical supply valves Solenoid valves to sequence water wash and purging Motor-driven pressurizing pump Electric heater in tank In-line water filter
7.10.2 Cleaning Solution Specifications
7.10.3 Water Quality Standards Please see GE Specification MID-TD-0000-4 for water wash criteria.
7.10.4 Interface Requirements
Customer supplies a source of hot water and instrument/compressed air to purge lines at GE Energy flange connections on auxiliary module. Interconnecting piping and hoses to the permanently mounted turbine spray manifold is provided.
7.11 Fire Protection System
The LM6000 turbine generator set includes controls and sensors to detect fire, unsafe temperatures or explosive atmospheres in the equipment enclosure. The system releases CO2 if fire is detected.
The package enclosure is designed to reduce the hazard of fire and explosion. A wall separates the turbine and generator compartments to provide isolation. Ventilation systems, with redundant fans, create a positive pressure in the generator compartment and a negative pressure in the turbine compartment. This maintains separation and forces hydrocarbons away from the generator. The enclosure is protected by gas detectors, thermal detectors, optical flame detectors and a CO2 extinguishing system conforming to NFPA 12.
Cleaning agents conforming to GE Specification MID-TD-0000-5 are recommended for washing the gas generator section of the engine. The solvents are mixed within the reservoir and sprayed into the turbine inlet. Water is then sprayed in the inlet to rinse the turbine.
A water/anti-freeze mixture must be used for dilution and rinsing in ambient temperatures of 50 F / 10 C, or below.

Fire and Gas Protection System
7.11.1 Gas Detectors Four hydrocarbon gas detectors and two infrared gas detectors are provided. Two hydrocarbon gas detectors are located in the turbine compartment. One hydrocarbon gas detector is located below the turbine. A fourth detector is located in the front of the generator compartment. Two infrared gas detectors are located in the turbine enclosure near the ventilation exhaust duct. If the gas detectors in the turbine or generator compartments sense a gas concentration of 15% LEL, a warning is initiated. If a sensor detects a gas concentration of 25% lower explosion limit, an emergency shutdown is initiated. If an infrared sensor senses a gas concentration of 5% LEL, a warning is initiated. If a sensor detects a gas concentration of 10% LEL, an emergency shutdown is initiated.
LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008 Page 60 of 156
7.11.2 Optical Flame Detectors
There are three IR/Optical flame detectors mounted in the turbine enclosure and three mounted in the generator enclosure. A flame indication by a turbine enclosure sensor causes an emergency shutdown and release of CO2.
7.11.3 Thermal Detectors
The turbine enclosure temperature is monitored by two thermal spot detectors, initiating a shutdown at 450 F / 232.2 C. The generator enclosure temperature is monitored by two thermal spot detectors, initiating a shutdown at 225 F / 107.2 C.
In addition to alarm and shutdown functions, the thermal spot detectors provide enclosure temperature signals for the turbine control panel HMI. The spot temperature detectors are bi-metallic and respond to both temperature and rate-of-rise. They cause a unit shutdown and release of the CO2 when tripped.
7.11.4 Manual System Trip
Three manual trip stations are located on the main enclosure; one on each side near the center of the package, and the third at the exciter end of the generator.
7.11.5 CO2 Extinguishing System
The system components include:
Main CO2 storage cylinders Reserve CO2 storage cylinders Valves, piping and wiring
The pressurized CO2 bottles are stored on a rack that includes manifolds, controls, valves and a weigh scale. The reserve cylinders are an automatic backup, and are released, if the detectors still indicate a hazard, 90 seconds after release of the main cylinders.
GE Energy provides piping within the main enclosure from the pressure connection to the nozzles in the turbine and generator compartment. Release of the CO2 is controlled by the fire system control panel or by a manual valve at the unit.
Signals from the equipment-mounted sensors are monitored by solid-state modules in the control panel. The panel-mounted unit includes logic, memory and output functions.
7.11.6 Dedicated Power Supply
LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008 Page 61 of 156
GE Energy furnishes a dedicated 24 VDC battery system with charger, to power the fire and gas protection and control system. This battery system conforms to NFPA 12 requirements.
7.11.7 Control System
A solid-state monitor mounted in the Turbine Control Panel compares the signal from each sensor to alarm and shutdown setpoints. Meters provide a read out of each gas detector signal. Any alarm signal sounds an alarm at the control panel and in the turbine enclosure.
Any shutdown signal from a gas detector, optical detector, thermal detector, or manual station closes a contact and causes an emergency shutdown of the unit.
7.11.8 Defective Sensor Protection
Each sensor is connected with closed loop circuitry to verify its readiness. Should the sensor or its wiring become defective, a "fault" condition is indicated on the control panel.
7.11.9 CO2 Release Logic
When a shutdown signal is received the control system turns off the ventilation fans and sounds an alarm horn at the panel and both inside and outside of the turbine enclosure. After a time delay, CO2 is released into the generator and turbine compartments.
A CO2 concentration sufficient to extinguish flames is reached in approximately 30 seconds. If the primary cylinders should fail to discharge within four seconds, the reserve cylinders are discharged.
If flames are still detected 90 seconds after the primary CO2 cylinders have been discharged, the reserve cylinders are discharged.
