The 6″ Butterfly Bleed Air Valve is designed to regulate the flow of compressed bleed air from the compressor section of large gas turbines, such as the LM2500. This valve uses a butterfly-shaped disc permanently attached to a robust shaft, allowing precise control over airflow to reduce pressure and temperature within the turbine system.

With an effective flow area of 19.1 square inches max, this valve accommodates higher volumes of bleed air, making it suitable for turbines with greater airflow requirements. It features a fast response time—less than 320 milliseconds for a full stroke—ensuring timely adjustments to changing operating conditions. The valve’s bearings are engineered for high cycle service, providing durability and reliability even under frequent opening and closing cycles.

The 6″ valve helps protect turbine components by managing thermal loads and maintaining optimal compressor performance, which in turn improves overall turbine efficiency and extends equipment life. It is commonly used in oil and gas applications where maintaining safe, efficient, and reliable turbine operation is critical. This valve also serves as a drop-in replacement in existing turbine systems, requiring no hydraulic or electrical modifications, simplifying installation and reducing downtime.

The LM2500+ DLE in a 1x1 combined cycle configuration—one gas turbine, one heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), and one steam turbine—delivers significantly higher efficiency, exceeding 50% in combined cycle mode.

Designed for high thermal efficiency, fast start capability, and reduced emissions, the LM2500 family is widely used across onshore and offshore environments, including industrial plants, pipeline stations, CHP systems, and utility-scale power production.

The DLE combustion system enables the LM2500+ to maintain low NOx and CO emissions without the need for water or steam injection—simplifying operations and reducing water-related maintenance.

Key features include:

• Triple annular combustor design for even temperature distribution and lower emissions across the power range
• Electrically actuated DLE fuel valves replacing traditional electro-hydraulic SAC valves for better control
• 75 pre-mixers in 30 external modules, creating a consistent lean fuel/air mixture
• NOx emissions ≤15–25 ppm and CO emissions ≤25 ppm (on natural gas, full load)

With fast ramp-up—achieving base load from cold start in under five minutes—the LM2500 is an ideal choice for fast-start and cycling applications. This performance makes it well suited to dynamic grid environments and industrial use cases requiring quick responsiveness.

The LM2500+G4 SAC 50Hz Combined Cycle 1x1 is a gas turbine system that combines a gas turbine with a steam turbine to improve overall power generation efficiency. This configuration captures waste heat from the gas turbine exhaust and uses it to produce steam, which then drives the steam turbine, generating additional electricity. This approach helps maximize power output while making better use of fuel energy.

Building on the LM2500+ design, the LM2500+G4 increases power capability by about 10% without reducing the lifespan of critical hot section components. This is achieved by increasing airflow, enhancing materials, and improving internal cooling. Despite these upgrades, the core compressor and turbine stages, as well as most airfoil and combustor designs, remain consistent with the LM2500 model.

The LM2500+G4 features a 17-stage high-pressure compressor that raises the engine’s pressure ratio and airflow, boosting the total power output of the gas turbine to over 31 MW. It uses a Single Annular Combustor (SAC) equipped with water injection to help control emissions while maintaining stable combustion. The SAC’s simple, proven design provides uniform flame temperature and reliable operation.

This balanced system is common in industrial and energy applications where efficiency and power output must be optimized, especially under varying ambient conditions. The combined cycle setup offers a reliable and efficient solution for electricity generation in demanding environments.

The LM2500 Gas Generator is the core component of the LM2500 gas turbine, responsible for producing the high-energy gas flow needed to drive the power turbine. It features a 16-stage axial compressor that efficiently compresses incoming air, a single annular combustor where fuel and air mix for optimal combustion, and a two-stage high-pressure turbine that extracts energy to power the compressor.

Designed for durability and high performance, the LM2500 Gas Generator supports a wide range of fuel types, including natural gas and liquid fuels, enabling flexible operation in various industrial and marine settings. Its modular construction allows for easier maintenance and faster engine removal or replacement, minimizing downtime.

With advanced aerodynamics and robust engineering, the LM2500 Gas Generator delivers reliable, efficient gas flow, helping ensure consistent power output and lower emissions across demanding operating conditions.

The LM2500+ DLE gas turbine is a high-performance solution for power generation in industrial, onshore, and offshore environments where emissions control and water availability are key concerns. Delivering over 30 megawatts of power and up to 40% thermal efficiency in simple cycle operation, it offers reliable performance with low environmental impact.

At the core of its design is the advanced Dry Low Emissions (DLE) combustion system, which reduces NOx and unburned hydrocarbon emissions without the need for water or steam injection. The system achieves this by precisely managing combustion conditions and lowering flame temperature. A triple annular combustor configuration enables fuel to burn more evenly at lower temperatures across a larger area, while new electrically actuated fuel metering valves enhance control and reduce complexity compared to older electro-hydraulic systems.

The LM2500+ DLE also features a 17-stage axial compressor for increased airflow and output, along with a modular, open design that enables faster maintenance and engine replacement. Its fast start capability makes it suitable for operations requiring multiple starts and stops per day.

Whether powering industrial facilities, pipeline networks, or combined heat and power (CHP) systems, the LM2500+ DLE offers a dependable and efficient gas turbine solution that balances operational flexibility with emissions performance.
