A NEW HIGH-EFFICIENCY HEAVY-DUTY COMBUSTION TURBINE 701F

The 701F is a high-temperature 50 Hz industrial grade 220 MW size engi ne based on a scaling of the 501F 150 MW class 60 Hz machine, and inco rporates a higher compressor pressure ratio to increase the thermal ef ficiency. The prototype engine is under a two-year performance and rel iability verification testing program at MHI's Yokohama Plant and was initially fired in June of 1992. This paper describes the 701F design features design changes made from 501F. The associated performance and reliability verification test program will also be presented.
