General information about GE Frame 5 turbines

The General Electric Frame 5 is considered an iconic high power gas turbine. It has unquestionably stood the test of time.

Since 1957, more than 3,000 Frame 5 units have been built and shipped in both single-shaft (MS5001) and twin-shaft (MS5002) versions for power generation (50 and 60 Hz) and mechanical drive applications. The turbines of this series operate in simple and combined cycle. They are installed both onshore and offshore (oil rigs, barges) and can be equipped with a single or dual fuel combustion system.

MS5001 turbines

The first single-shaft MS5001 turbine was delivered from the plant in Schenectady (USA, New York State) more than 58 years ago. The MS5001 is still in production today, with parameters almost 2.5 times higher than those of earlier models (see files below).

Double-shaft turbine MS5002

A twin-shaft version of the Frame 5, the MS5002, first produced in the 1970s, was designed specifically for mechanical drive applications, most commonly for large mainline compressors and pumps. This turbine is sometimes used in electric generating plants.

There are five MS5002 models in operation worldwide today: A, B, C, D and E. All of them can be equipped to burn various types of gaseous and liquid fuels. The simple and robust design allows for on-site maintenance without specialized tools or auxiliary workshops.

The MS5002E turbine is the latest addition to the Frame 5 turbine family and has been developed in response to increased customer demand for a gas turbine in the 32MW power range that is highly efficient, affordable and has a low environmental impact.

To ensure high reliability and availability, the MSS002E has a low combustion temperature compared to many modern turbines. High efficiency is achieved by using advanced design tools to optimize aerodynamic surfaces, clearances, leakage and cooling flow distribution. The MS5002E turbine’s NOx level is less than 15 parts per million due to the use of a low dry gas emission combustion system based on GE DLN2 combustion technology.

The MS5002E has successfully completed an extensive test program.

Construction

The MS5001 turbine construction was designed to be as simple as possible for reliability and durability, with a low pressure ratio, low combustion temperature, only two uncooled turbine stages and a dimensionally stable casing.

The main construction elements of the Frame 5 single-shaft turbine are:

• Two-stage turbine;
• 17-stage axial compressor;
• combustion system with ten chambers.
