Flexible Performers for Mid-Size Applications
GE's non-reheat steam turbines are available as single casing, single-flow or double casing, double-flow configurations. GE's flexible and reliable non-reheat line is well proven in combined cycle, cogeneration, district heating, industrial and small power generation applications around the globe. These turbines are optimized for combined cycle applications in plants using GE's small to mid-size heavy-duty gas turbines including the 6F, 6C, 6B, 7E, 9E and with GE's LM6000 aeroderivative gas turbine. Single casing turbines feature a compact design, using an HP casing bolted to a single-flow, low pressure section, available in an axial or down exhaust configuration. For larger non-reheat condensing applications, GE offers a two-casing design featuring a separate HP and a double-flow LP. For non-condensing applications, the HP and exhaust casing sections are a single casting.
Combined cycle applications utilize designs employing sliding pressure control with off-shell-mounted combined stop and control valves. Cogeneration designs utilize fixed-pressure control with shell-mounted inlet and extraction control valves, enabling constant inlet pressure and precise process extraction steam pressure control.
