MS5001 Gas Turbine
The MS5001 single shaft turbine is a compact heavy-duty prime mover designed for long life and ease
of operation and maintenance. The three main features of its simple design are:
- 17-stage, axial compressor
- Combustion system with 10 chambers capable of burning a wide range of fuels including natural
gas, light and heavy distillates, and crude and residual oil. A DLN System is also available.
- Two-stage turbine with high energy stage design. The first-stage nozzles are cooled by the axial
compressor discharge air.
The MS5001 Gas Turbine is the ideal solution for power generation where low maintenance, reliability
and economy of fuel utilization are required. Low operating and investment costs make the MS5001
package power plant an economically attractive system for load generation. The MS5001 is also
ideally suited for cogeneration achieving a very high fuel utilization index and considerable fuel
savings. Typical applications are industrial plants for cogeneration of power and process steam or
district heating systems.
As a consequence of the extremely favorable operating, maintenance and economic
characteristics of the MS5001 it has been very well accepted in the industry and there are more
than 2500 units in operation all over the world.
