GE gas turbine Frame 5 (MS5001A-K)

ABSTRACT
GE’s advances in gas turbine technology are being
applied to its operating fleet of MS5001 turbines in
the form of uprate and upgrade offerings. MS5001
owners benefit from the opportunity for increased
output, reduced NO x and CO emissions, increased
efficiency, extended inspection intervals, improved
reliability and operability, and modified exhaust air-
flow and exhaust temperature.
The primary offering is the “New-Tech Uprate”,
which includes the advanced-technology combustion
system with the new-technology nozzles and buck-
ets. This uprate package utilizes technology advances
as developed for the modern GE fleet of new-unit
turbine offerings. It provides customers with the
opportunity to increase firing temperature for a sub-
stantial gain in output and fuel efficiency, in addition
to extended maintenance intervals.
GE continues to develop new products for the
established turbine base. Several new products have
been developed in the past few years: breech load
