Air Intake System for Gas Turbine
The air intake system comprises filter house, filter system and inlet duct work. The filter
house offers weather protection and prevents large debris from entering the filter system.
The filter system removes both large particles and fine particulates from the air stream. The
inlet air duct directs flow into the gas turbine compressor inlet manifold. An anti-icing system
is installed for cold and humid ambient conditions to avoid icing effects in the air intake sys-
tem.
Exhaust Gas System for Gas Turbine
After expanding through the combustion turbine, the gases pass through the exhaust gas
diffuser that provides connection to a stack, a heat-recovery steam-generator or a diverter &
bypass stack.

The turbine bearing housing comprises a stiff, one-piece inner cylinder in which the turbine
bearing is supported. Five struts connect the hub directly to the outer casing. The exhaust
flow is guided by the lining of the turbine bearing housing, which is supported so as to ac-
commodate thermal expansion; the exhaust casing connects the turbine vane carrier to the
exhaust diffuser. The turbine bearing can be removed axially in the direction of flow.
Rotor
The rotor comprises a number of discs, each of which carries one row of blades, two hollow
shafts (front and rear) as well as the torque discs located between compressor and turbine
and is held together by one central tie rod. Hirth serrations mesh at the interfaces between
discs, hollow shafts, and torque discs. These serrations center the adjacent items relative to
each other, permit unrestricted radial expansion, and transmit torque. This rotor configuration
results in a selfsupporting drum with high stiffness.
The turbine rotor is internally cooled. A portion of the compressed air is extracted from the
main flow at two inner extraction points in the compressor and at the compressor outlet and
used to cool turbine blades.
The first row of turbine blades requires cooling air at high pressure and is supplied with air
from the compressor outlet. This air is fed into the rotor via bores in the torque discs and
flows to the blades via bores in the first turbine disc.
The second turbine stage is cooled with air from the inner extraction point downstream of
compressor stage 12. This air is fed into the compressor disc radially inward toward the rotor
axis, then through a long, axial annular duct toward turbine disc 2 and finally flows into the
blades via bores in the turbine discs.
The third and fourth turbine stages are both supplied with cooling air from the first internal
extraction point downstream of compressor stage 10. Just as with the cooling air supplied to
the second turbine stage, this air flow is routed in the same way through the rotor to the
blades of the third and fourth turbine stage.
This cooling air flow path ensures that the downstream compressor discs, the torque discs in
the middle section and all turbine discs are enveloped with sufficient cooling air. Enveloping

startup and shutdown phases. Extraction of air uniformly around the circumference prevents
excitation of vibration in adjacent rows of airfoils.
Blowoff lines, each equipped with a butterflytype shutoff valve, feed this flow of air to the
exhaust diffuser.
Cooling air lines run from the extraction chambers in the compressor to the turbine vanes in
stages 2 to 4 and to the turbine bearing housing.
The inlet guides vanes (IGV) in the first row of the compressor can be rotated about their
longitudinal axis. Levers connect the pivot pins of these vanes to an adjusting ring which can
be rotated circumferentially. By varying the pitch of the IGVs, the amount of air ingested by
the compressor can be adapted to the needs of startup and shutdown as well as part load
operation. Besides IGV on the standard version, additional two variable guide vane (VGV)
rows can be installed optional. Subsequent rows of compressor vanes are rigidly fixed in
rings provided with dovetail slots; these rings are inserted in the ringshaped slots in the inner
cylindrical surface of the outer casing/vane carrier. Inner rings which form a seal between the
vanes and the rotor and also dampen vibration are fitted on both the row of IGVs with pivot
pins and the vanes with T-roots. Removal of the stator rings together with their inner rings
creates the axial clearance between two rotor discs that is required for removing rotor
blades.
The outer shrouds of the turbine vanes are inserted into corresponding slots in the inner
cylindrical surface of the respective vane carrier. The inner shrouds of stages 2 to 4 to are
attached to segmented rings to form a seal against the rotor.
The vane carriers and all vanes in the turbine are cooled with air extracted from the
compressor. This air flows through the hollow spaces between the vane carrier and the outer
shrouds and also through the hollow airfoils. It exits stage 1 to 3 airfoils into the gas flow and
in stage 2 to 4 is used to seal the inner glands in addition to cooling.

Siemens developed gas turbine burners to enable combustion of fuels with a very diverse
range of composition.
The detailed configuration of the gas turbine burners is stipulated after technical clarification
by Siemens as a function of the projectspecific requirements. A fundamental distinction is
drawn between single-fuel and multi-fuel burners. The essential differences lie in the number
and type of nozzle systems implemented through which the fuel/fuels is/are injected into the
combustion air.
The modular design of the gas turbine burners makes it possible to select a burner
configuration in line with the fuel and fuel grades used that achieves both extremely low
pollutant emissions levels (nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide) as well as stable
combustion over a wide output range.
Homogeneous mixing of fuel and combustion air ensures uniform temperature distribution at
the outlet of the combustor to the turbine.
The combustor is accessible via manholes in the main casing and in the outer shell. Heat
shields, burners, and the parts in the first stage of the turbine can be inspected and, if
necessary, removed via these manholes.
Thermal Insulation
Gas turbine insulation minimizes thermal losses and vibration and protects the cold outer
surface of the gas turbine from moisture.
CONFIGURATION AND FUNCTIONAL PRINCIPLE
The insulation encloses components of the gas turbine that are subjected to thermal input,
from the compressor vane carrier 1 (interface to the IGV actuating mechanisms) and
extending to the turbine exhaust manifold (interface to the exhaust diffuser) as well as the air
and fuel lines. For technical reasons, it is necessary to omit insulation of parts in some
regions of the gas turbine.

thereof
The outer surface of mattresses has a moisture-repellent coating. This facilitates removal of
any soiling that occurs without the ingress of water or dirt into the insulating material. To
prevent damage to the insulation caused by boot traffic, step reinforcements must be
provided.
THERMAL LOSSES
The insulation reduces the amount of thermal energy radiated by the gas turbine. All
interferences such as engine openings, measuring instruments, burner piping, etc. are
allowed for when defining insulation geometry. Mattresses are designed such that no gaps
are formed when the engine undergoes thermal expansion.
MATERIAL
Mattresses are constructed of several layers of insulating material and are comprised of
needled mineral wool mats or mechanically-needled silicate or fiberglass mats. Pipes are
insulated with mineral fiber shells, mineral fiber plates or Microtherm mats.
Pillows installed on the outer shell are constructed of high-temperature fabric with silicone-
coated glass fiber fabric used on their outer side.
Mattresses should be quilted to stabilize the insulation layers and also to ensure geometric
stability. Mattresses comply with the shape and size requirements stipulated in the applicable
industrial safety regulations. The maximum weight of one mattress shall not exceed 25 kg.
Strap systems are used to connect adjoining mattresses. The connecting elements are
designed to ensure that they do not damage mattresses and that no insulation material can
escape.
RETAINER SYSTEM
Retainers are adapted to the thickness of the insulation material and only their tips extend
beyond the surface of the insulation. The former must be thermally insulated from the casing

Service-Friendliness
The service-friendly design provides less business interruption and higher availability.
Easy inspections without uncovering of the turbine are possible due to access to parts of
the engine via manholes and ports for borescopic inspection:
– The combustion chamber is accessible, directly visible and can be readily inspected via
the manhole on the combustion chamber. That allows simple replacement of individual
combustion chamber wall elements such as heat shields and burner supports.
– The burners are also readily accessible outside from the outer combustor shell.
– First turbine stage can be accessed and inspected via the manhole on the combustion
chamber.
Last turbine stages can be accessed via the manhole at the exhaust cylinder.

Operating Flexibility
Fuel flexibility: Natural gas, light distillate fuel oil, naphtha and condensates can be used.
The optional engine design* increases the Wobbe design value tolerance to about ±15% for
preheated fuel gas. Optional project specific hardware may be needed.
On-line fuel changeover: Switching from operation on natural gas to fuel oil and vice versa
is possible during operation of the engine at reduced load.
Low-Emissions Part load operation: Capability of low loads down to about 45% of rated
power with low-NOx and low-CO emissions. Part load turbine outlet temperature can be in-
creased for improved turn-down.
The optional engine design* allows tuning low-emissions operation down to 38% of rated
power.

During the initial phase a replacement spool piece has to be installed instead of the metering
device with connected inlet flow path. Only after finishing erection, commissioning and suffi-
cient cleaning of the system, the spool piece can be replaced by the flow meter.
A start-up strainer, used to protect the turbine flow meter during the initial phase, is also pro-
vided and must be installed upstream of the metering line.
The flow meter is designed for performance test metering purposes only. After the perform-
ance test the metering line should be replaced by a spool piece to minimize the pressure loss
in the system.
Depending on the project specific gas temperature, the performance test meter can be de-
signed with a turbine flow meter or an orifice flow meter.
At the inlet and the outlet two counter flanges are provided for easy integration. The metering
line is prepared for connecting temperature and pressure gauges required by the engineer

function as an emergency stop valves to shut off flow into the supply line.
Filters (7, 17) installed upstream of the fuel oil ring lines protect the fuel oil burners against
impermissible soiling. Fuel oil from the DB or PB supply line is distributed to the burners via
ring lines (9, 18).
Purge water lines (A1, A2) are connected at the highest point a short distance upstream of
the ring lines; after deactivation of diffusion or premix mode, purge water is supplied via the
connection to the respective ring line and burners.
In addition to the supply lines, one sealing air line (B) fitted with a sealing air ball cock (8, 19)
is also connected to each ring line. The fuel oil systems that are shut down are supplied with
sealing air to prevent circulation of hot gases between the burners.
Fuel oil returned from the burners in diffusion mode flows through branch lines into the return
ring line (10). Water is supplied for filling the fuel oil DB return line via the purge water
connection (A3); this prevents the ingress of hot gases into the return line and thus
overheating of the burners on changeover from operation on natural gas to operation on fuel
oil. DB return line emergency stop valve (12) has the function of enabling or shutting off flow
through the return line. The return line control valve (13) has the task of regulating the
amount of fuel injected in diffusion mode. The amount of fuel injected in diffusion mode is the
difference between the supply line flow and the return line flow. The DB return line control
valve also functions as a leak-tight second shutoff element. Whenever control action closes
the DB return line emergency stop valve, the DB control valve also closes.
