Introduction to GE Frame Series Gas Turbines

 Upon completing this lesson, you will be able to discuss the motivation behind the development of the F-series of gas turbine. In addition, you will be able to describe the Frame 7 gas turbine’s basic components and general operation. • Recall the driving factor for creating F-series gas turbine technology • Identify the primary differences between the Frame 7 gas turbine and its predecessors • Describe the basic components and flow paths through the Frame 7 gas turbine • Explain the purpose of the inlet air guide vanes • Recall the relationship between turbine output energy and the compressor energy consumption • Explain the purpose of a regenerator
