Power Concept for IGT25 Gas Turbine
What it offers
The IGT25+ or Power Concept is an upgrade of IGT25 to increase engine performance and lifetime. This upgrade utilizes a new state of the art 3D design of compressor and reduction in turbine cooling mass flow rates by new materials choice in addition to an optimized design of the cooling and sealing systems. These modifications make it possible to increase power output by more than 2 MW. In this design, the efficiency is expected to increase by 1%.
IGT25+ gas turbines are suitable choices to be coupled with re-bundled gas compressors in order to increase the capacity of gas transportation lines, due to their increased power and efficiency and low added cost to improve performance.
By implementing this upgrade in some Iranian Gas Transportation stations, the capacity of IGAT III gas transportation line will increase up to 10%. Total profit due to this upgrade is comparable to the cost of a number of new GT units per year.
The main concepts to improve performance are using advanced aerodynamic design in compressor and reducing required cooling and sealing flows in turbine component.
