The LMS100 gas turbine

We are a partner in General Electric's new LMS100;  the first modern gas turbine in the power industry to employ off-engine intercooling technology with the use of an external heat exchanger. It provides outputs above 100 MW, with simple-cycle efficiencies exceeding 46%. This represents a 10% increase compared with GE's most efficient simple-cycle gas turbine on the market today.

The LMS100 is based on a combination of frame and aeroderivative gas turbine technology. It delivers significantly more power than today's aeroderivatives while providing all of the advantages of a conventional aeroderivative such as a very short start-up time of within 10 minutes.

As a result of the high efficiency and low mass emission rate , the LMS100 is environmentally friendly. It provides major potential, for example, in CHP (combined Heat and Power) applications.

We are responsible for the design, development and production of the power turbine case in the LMS100. We also supply the intermediate turbine frame and the compressor rear frame. In addition, we provide engineering work packages for other components in the engine.
