Customized upgrades are also available to suit individual needs.

Description |
| Flow Enhancer |
LM2500 |
We offer a flow enhancer, a device installed in the exhaust collector that reduces exhaust gas turbulence, resulting in quieter exhaust flow, less vibration in downstream components and reduced engine back pressure resulting in improved engine efficiency. A power increase of at least one percent is expected. |
 |
| Halon to Carbon Dioxide Fire System Conversion |
LM1600
LM2500
LM5000
LM6000 |
We offer a replacement fire protection system that uses carbon dioxide instead of Halon. Halon is becoming expensive to procure and is no longer allowed in certain areas. In addition, many older fire protection systems use panels and components that are no longer manufactured, making replacement parts difficult to find. |
|
| Inlet Filtration Systems |
LM1600
LM2500
LM5000
LM6000 |
Undersized or improperly designed inlet filtration systems can result in restricted power output due to increase drops, higher maintenance costs and reduced availability of the unit. We can replace and upgrade existing inlet filtration systems to minimize air inlet problems. |
|
| Liquid Fuel Treatment Systems |
LM1600
LM2500
LM5000
LM6000
GG3/GG4
Avon |
We offer centrifugal liquid fuel treatment systems for use with all LM series, Avon and GG4 gas turbines that significantly improve the quality of the fuel entering the gas turbine. |
|
| LM5000 to LM6000 Repowering |
LM5000 |
We offer a package retrofit program to replace the LM5000 gas turbine with a new LM6000PC engine (hot end drive) within the existing package. Modifications to the existing package include a new turbine controls system, turbine mounting system, inlet bellmouth and Variable Bleed ducting redesign. |
|
| LM6000 PA to PC Uprate |
LM6000 |
We have developed an uprate kit to incorporate the improvements developed for the production PC model into the PA model LM6000s. This kit results in an uprated PA model that exhibits the same performance as the production PC model. The LM6000PA uprate provides increased power, improved heat rate and increased reliability through the improvements made to the LPC section (including higher efficiency 0-3 vanes) and the LPT section (including higher efficiency blades and vanes). |
|
| Lubricating Oil Chip Detectors and Oil Monitoring Systems |
LM1600
LM2500
LM5000
LM6000 |
We can install an electronic chip detector system or a lubricating oil monitoring system that continuously monitors the number of metallic and non-metallic particles in the gas turbine lubricating oil. Both systems allow early detection of potential bearing problems. |
|
| MetalSCAN |
LM1600
LM2500
LM5000
LM6000 |
We offer a real-time oil debris monitoring system for all LM series gas turbines. MetalSCAN monitors the accumulation of ferrous material in fluid lines and initially warns the operators of any abnormal activity. When certain thresholds have been attained, MetalSCAN triggers an alarm to indicate significant wear component damage. This sensor provides early warning of bearing and gear damage, reducing the occurrences of unplanned outages. |
|
| Remote Monitoring and Diagnostics |
LM1600
LM2500
LM5000
LM6000 |
We offer remote monitoring and diagnostic services to improve availability, reliability, operating performance and maintenance effectiveness. Factory experts monitor key parameters, providing early warning of equipment problems and avoiding expensive secondary damage. Diagnostic programs seek emerging trends and alert monitoring personnel, enabling proactive intervention to avoid forced outages and extended downtime. We are currently monitoring more than 50 LM series gas turbine installations worldwide. |
|
| Single-Shank Upgrade Kits |
LM2500 |
We can install a single-shank upgrade kit that incorporates the improvements developed for the LM2500PE model into LM2500PC/GB machines. This kit upgrades the twin-shank engine to the single-shank configuration to yield the same performance as the production PE model, and incorporates the latest hot gas path materials and coatings. |
|
| T54 Probes |
LM2500
LM5000 |
For improved monitoring and troubleshooting capability, we offer individual readout capability for units that have only an averaging system. We also offer an individually replaceable probe system, which allows a single probe to be replaced instead of an entire quadrant. |
|
| Vibration System Upgrades |
LM1600
LM2500
LM5000
LM6000 |
As older model vibration monitoring systems are phased out of production, maintenance and spare parts become increasingly difficult to obtain. We can upgrade older systems to the latest vibration monitoring systems, and possibly integrate the display into your Human-Machine Interface computer. |
