Marine Gas Turbine The LM6000 is a simple-cycle, two-shaft, highperformance gas turbine that is derived from GE’s CF680C2 high bypass turbofan aircraft engine. There are two models of the LM6000: the LM6000PC is a 42 MW machine, and the LM6000PG has an output of 52 MW. Taking advantage of the CF6-80C2 low-pressure system’s normal operating speed of 3600 rpm, the LM6000PC couples loads directly to the low-pressure turbine shaft. This feature allows the commonality of the CF6-80C2 and the LM6000 to be maintained. The LM6000PG operates at 3900 rpm but the big advantage is the additional power in the same size machine. Both models use lowcost, field-proven parts. The low-pressure compressor features independently controlled variable inlet guide vanes and variable stator vanes to modulate airflow, ensuring fast, easy startup/shutdown – even under partial loads. The high pressure compressor is mated to an efficient annular combustor for maximum fuel economy. Incorporation of advanced airflow and cooling technologies helps the LM6000 have unprecedented parts life, and provide reliable and efficient power, low fuel consumption, and low NOx, carbon monoxide, and unburned hydrocarbon emissions, which is critical for marine applications. The LM6000 weighs only 17,336 pounds (7,863 kilograms) which is less than half the weight of other large aeroderivative gas turbines. The entire unit is only 193.5 inches long (4.91 meters), 85 inches wide (2.159 meters) and 81 inches high (2.05 meters) so you can generate more power in less space.
