Service Package 4

Valid for following frames: SGT5-4000F (V94.3A)
-
Increased gas turbine efficiency of up to 0.5 %-pts. in simple-cycle operation
-
Lower carbon monoxide emissions during part load and base load operation
The Service Package 4 upgrade combines upgrades of proven technology among which improved blade design and enhanced combustion technology. It has been developed utilizing extensive field experience and advances in design technologies to help maximize the benefits to be offered to you.
The Service Package 4 includes following measures:
- Compressor Mass Flow Increase with modified 3D airfoils of the inlet guide vane and the first two stages of compressor blades and vanes. For the operation with increased mass flow several instrumentation and control improvements are included in the upgrade scope.
- Turn Down upgrade intended to increase the operational range of the plant in part load operation while maintaining plant carbon monoxide emissions limit.
- Hydraulic Clearance Optimization: shifting the rotor against flow direction to minimize the turbine clearances during base load operation.
- Cooling Air Reduced (CAR): combustion chamber to minimize cooling air consumption
- Burner Upgrade designed to improve combustion stability during part load and base load operation in combination with CAR and to lower the nitrogen oxide emissions during base load operation
- Fuel Gas Preheating to enable more efficient fuel gas usage due to increased combined cycle efficiency.
- The Service Package 4 provides significant performance advantages and offers attractive financial payback options.
Your benefits
The Service Package 4 upgrade offers you a clearly technical and monetary quantifiable benefit and can be a cost-effective means to help you improve the overall performance of your gas turbine and combined cycle power plant integrating various technical solutions.
Benefits may include:
- Increased gas turbine power output of up to 3 % in simple-cycle operation *
- Higher combined cycle power output
- Increased gas turbine efficiency of up to 0.5 %-pts. in simple-cycle operation *
- Lower fuel consumption costs
- Lower carbon monoxide emissions during part load and base load operation at constant turbine inlet temperatures
- Reduction of sulfur deposits inside the burner fuel gas system which can occur at fuel gas temperatures higher than 60°C.
* Subject to specific technical plant evaluation, expected values with test tolerances @ ISO condition
The Service Package 4 measures are state-of-the-art for new Siemens Gas Turbines of the frame type SGT5-4000F (V94.3A) manufactured since July 2005.
