The Solar Titan 130 is a gas turbine unit of modular design.
The Titan 130 is available in two versions:
- Generator unit (single-shaft turbine) – used to generate electric power at natural gas production and processing facilities, offshore platforms and floating bases;
- Mechanical drive unit (twin-shaft turbine) – designed to drive centrifugal and reciprocating compressors, as well as pumps for pumping oil and other liquid materials.
Natural gas is used as the main fuel. Among alternative fuels low-calorie gas and diesel fuel can be used. If necessary, the unit can be equipped with a dual-fuel system.

Brief description of the constructional device
The axial compressor has 14 stages and a rotational speed of up to 11,220 rpm. The compressor housing is equipped with a vertical connector. Compressor pressure rise degree: 17.1:1.
The ring combustion chamber has 21 fuel injectors as standard. When equipped with the SoLoNOx dry emission suppression system, the combustion chamber has 14 fuel injectors.
The powertrain is represented by a 3-stage axial turbine.
To increase resistance to high temperatures and corrosive environment, the turbine blades and сопловых nozzles are coated with a special coating.
The gas turbine is connected to the generator by means of a planetary gearbox with a speed of 1.5 thousand rpm at 50 Hz.
The gas turbine unit is equipped with Turbotronic microprocessor control system, which includes: control unit, vibration and temperature control system, generator regulation system, playback and control system.
