GE5 Gas Turbine

Flexible, Simple and Compact

The GE5 is a 6-MW range heavy-duty gas turbine designed in two configurations: single-shaft for power generation and two-shaft for mechanical drive applications. The GE5 combines the technology of aircraft engine design with the ruggedness of the heavy-duty PGT class of turbines.

Features and Benefits

The flexibility, simplicity and compactness of the GE5 make it ideal for industrial power generation (including steam production), oil and gas applications in remote areas and offshore installations. The control system is configured for fully automatic operation and provides for connection to remote monitoring and diagnostics. The GE5 is ideally suited for applications that require a continuous supply of electrical power with high availability and reliability.
