TYPES OF GT – SINGLE-SHAFT OR SPLIT-SHAFT DESIGN
SINGLE-SHAFT: all rotating components are on the SAME SHAFT and rotate
at same speed
•A very narrow speed range over which it can operate due to:
−Minimum speed set by the surge limit of the air compressor
−Maximum power set by the maximum allowable temperature at the inlet of the power
turbine section.
•Used in constant-speed, variable-load applications, such as powering an electric
generator
•Another disadvantage of single-shaft turbines is that the starting power
requirements may be large.
•To keep this starting requirement as low as possible, it may be necessary to
unload the driven equipment during start-up.
EP 20200_a_A_ppt_04 – GAS TURBINES (GT) 11
TYPES OF GT – SINGLE-SHAFT OR SPLIT-SHAFT DESIGN
SPLIT-SHAFT: some of the power turbine wheels are on same shaft as air
compressor while some are on same shaft as driven equipment
•Only power output limitation is the maximum allowable temperature at the inlet
of the turbine section. In actual practice a torque limit, increased exhaust
temperature, loss of turbine efficiency and (or) a lubrication problem on the
driven equipment usually preclude operating at very low power turbine speeds.
•Wide speed range or a high starting torque. The gas compressor is able to run at
its most efficient speed while the power turbine speed varies with the driven
equipment.
•The split shaft design allows a small starting system since only the gas compressor
shaft is accelerated during the start cycle.
•Compressors, pumps, and various mechanical drive systems make very good
applications for a split shaft designs.

TYPES OF GT – HEAVY DUTY OR AERODERIVATIVE
First widely used as an aircraft power plant. However, as they became more
efficient and durable, they were adapted to the industrial market place.
Over the years the gas turbine has evolved into two basic types for high
power stationary applications: the industrial or heavy-duty design and the
aircraft derivative design.
EP 20200_a_A_ppt_04 – GAS TURBINES (GT) 17
TYPES OF GT – HEAVY DUTY
Design of the heavy-duty type has been developed to satisfy normal
industrial process-plant requirements, without any space and weight
limitation.
It is designed exclusively for STATIONARY use.
Where high power output is required, 26 000 kW (35 000 hp) and above, the
heavy duty industrial gas turbine is normally specified.
ADVANTAGES are:
•less frequent maintenance (overhaul every 30 000 - 36 000 hours; stopping: about
1 month !!!!), due to smooth operating conditions (pressure ratio 6 to 10;
maximum power gas temperature: about 1 100°C),
•can burn a wide variety of fuels,
•available in large horse power sizes.
EP 20200_a_A_ppt_04 – GAS TURBINES (GT) 19
TYPES OF GT – AERODERIVATIVE
Sophisticated AIRCRAFT technology and associated research, laboratory facilities,
quality control methods, test and maintenance facilities… can be directed to
industrial purposes
HIGHER EFFICIENCY than heavy-duty type units due to severe operating conditions
(pressure ratio above 30; gas power temperature above 1 100°C),
Quick overhaul capability (overhaul every 10 000 hours; stopping about 24 hours !!!),
LIGHTER and more COMPACT. An asset where weight limitations are important such
as offshore installations.
For large power ratings, more efficient than even the heavy-duty regenerative gas
turbine.
Inherently, the aircraft-derivative gas turbine is of either the two- or three-shaft
configuration, depending on the jet engine design.
The power turbine and the gas generator (the jet engine) are separate entities, with
no mechanical linkage. This separation also applies to the auxiliary systems.

FUEL & COMBUSTION – OVERVIEW
COMPOSITION of the gas (normal, alternate, or start-up) to be supplied
In normal operation, LHV should not change by more than +/- 10%
NO LIQUIDS at the gas turbine fuel nozzle (separators or knockout drums)
FG temperature at fuel nozzle pressure must be above the HC dew temperature of
the fuel gas at this pressure (generally +15°C to +20°C)
Contaminants: Rust, water, Naphtalenes Filtration down to 5-10 ppm
Corrosive agents: H2S, RSH, COS, chlorides Formation of acids, alkali metal
sulphates
NITROGEN OXIDES (NOx) in the flue gas:
•NOx are function of combustion TEMPERATURE and residence times at high temperatures
•NOx emission controlled by INJECTING WATER of boiler-feed quality into the combustors
•Low-NOx combustors ("lean burn" combustors)
•Selective catalytic reduction (SCR): AMMONIA injected into the flue gas upstream of a
catalyst bed. NOx and NH3 form an ammonium salt intermediate that subsequently
decomposes to produce elemental nitrogen and water.

EP 20200_a_A_ppt_04 – GAS TURBINES (GT) 48
GT OPERATION – FUEL CIRCUIT
Fuel circuit: in most of case, on field application, gas turbine fuel is GAS
Gas have to be gaseous, that mean liquid level in KO drums must be check
carefully
Liquid or excess of flow rate in a gas burner increase a lot the length of the
flame damaging the hot pass and able to destroy the turbine blading
Expansion through the fuel control system must not generate condensate.
Actual fuel gas inlet temperature must protect the turbine against dew
point risk

and particles sizes
AIR FILTRATION
1- Hard particles larger than 5 microns:
• easy to stop by inertia filters
• dangerous with erosion (compressor)
2- Particles smaller than 10 microns:
• specifically unburnt hydrocarbons generate fouling (compressor)
• can be corrosive
3- Salty particles generally smaller than 5
microns (onshore and offshore locations):
• difficult to filter totally
• introduces chloride and sodium
• a coalescer is necessary
