LM1800e Aeroderivative Gas Turbines

The LM1800e™ is the newest member of the LM2500® family of aeroderivative gas turbines. The LM1800e, derived from the CF6® aircraft engine, contains a 18 MW gas turbine designed with the same high efficiency and reliable performance customers have come to expect over the last 40 years. The LM1800e represents GE's latest entrant to the <20 MW space

APPLICATION:
•The LM1800e Package is ideal for CHP applications in industrial and commercial applications with power requirements of 16.5 – 18 MW.
•The LM1800e Driver Unit can be coupled to your own generator for Power Generation or to a gearbox for mechanical drive applications.
•The LM1800e Driver Unit will deliver 22,400 – 24,200 shaft horsepower depending on configuration.




REGIONAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The LM1800e is designed for global implementation - onshore applications
DESIGN:

•The LM1800e gas turbine is a simple cycle, two shaft engine consisting of a gas generator and a six stage power turbine.
•The gas generator consists of a variable geometry compressor; a dry low emissions (DLE) annular combustor; a high pressure turbine (HPT); an accessory drive gearbox; and controls and accessories.
•The power turbine (PT) is a six stage, low pressure turbine, aerodynamically coupled to the gas generator and driven by the gas generator exhaust gas.
•The power turbine normal operating speed is 2000 - 3600 rpm. Exhaust gases from the PT are turned 90° by the exhaust duct
