Keeping up with the ever-changing industrial power landscape

requires a reliable and versatile machine that can provide

peace of mind in an industry that is forever demanding more.

Operators are striving to achieve higher ef ficiency, cleaner

energy production and increased reliability, all while maintaining

low overall life cycle costs.

The 6F.01 Gas Turbine meets these needs like no other, providing

low-cost electricity production in a broad range of heat recoveryapplications for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz applications. These include:

industrial cogeneration for process industries, district heating for

municipalities and mid-sized combined cycle grid support.

Building on GEs F-Class LegacyGE introduced F-class technology (2300F to 2600F firing

temperature) nearly three decades ago. Today, GE has the worlds

largest F-class fleetover 1,100 units in 58 countriesmore than

all other manufacturers combined.

GE was the first F-class supplier to achieve 99.4 percent yearly

reliability and the first to reach 1 million starts. This global expertise,

along with robust research and development programs, continues

to make GE a supplier of choice for F-class technology in both the50 Hz and 60 Hz markets. Nearly 50 percent of all the F-class units

sold today bear the GE name.

Product Evolution and ExperienceOriginally introduced as the 6C Gas Turbine in 2003 at 42 MW and

upgraded to 46 MW in 2005 after site validation, the two fleet

leader units have accumulated more than 110,000 operating

hours in combined cycle.

Now renamed the 6F.01 Gas Turbine, the unit output has been

boosted to 50 MW through system level enhancements. The6F.01 Gas Turbine is part of an experienced fleet of F-class

turbines that has accumulated more than 50 million hours of

operation across all operating cycles and applications.

Technologies from GEs vast power generation experience

continue to drive the development of cutting-edge solutions like

the 6F.01 Gas Turbine that push the performance envelope and

usher in new standards of operational flexibility.

Features and Benefits Air-cooled hot gas path and dual fuel capability promoteoperational flexibility.

Proven Dry Low NOx (DLN) combustion system complies with

emission requirements, lengthens combustion inspection

intervals, and enables turndown to 40 percent.

More than 55 percent eff icient in combined cyclethe highest

efficiency in the under 100 MW gas turbine space.

12-stage compressor with field removable blades increases

reliability and ease of maintenance; three stages of compressor

guide vanes for high efficiency at part load.

Low compression ratio helps avoid need for gas compression

from the gas pipeline and allows for high exhaust temperature

for increased steam cycle eff iciency.

High turbine speed (7250 rpm) allows for increased compressor

flow and output while enabling a more compact design.

GEs patented Mark* VIe Integrated Control System (ICS)

connects plant components with a single, high-performance,

control architecture, enabling comprehensive plant

automation schemes.

Ease of installation, maintenance, and modularitycombined

with a shorter commissioning cycleprovides improved

life cycle value.

Full Suite of Service OfferingsExtended warranty and a full suite of service offerings are available

on the 6F.01 Gas Turbine, including long-term service agreements

with availability and reliability guarantees, improved maintenance

intervals, and performances. Fleet spares are also maintained prior

to first fire in the field.
