Baker Hughes Gas turbine Frame 5/2C

Two-shaft gas turbine with best-in-class availability and reliability in mechanical drive Benefits Excellent availability and reliability: compact mover, designed for long life and ease of maintenance Enhanced fuel flexibility with no impact on combustor operability or integrity Features 16-stage axial compressor adopted on former Frame 5/2B and derived from Frame 5/1N 12 combustion chambers, dual-fuel DLN1 combustion system available, two-stage turbine with uncooled buckets Two-shaft turbine (high pressure and low-pressure turbines) with variable geometry nozzles between HPT and power turbine Applications LNG Pipeline, gas storage Refinery, petrochemical, fertilizer Overview We have more than 260 units operating around the world with over 25.7 million fired-hours experience. Our first commercial unit has successfully exceeded 200,000 operating hours. At ISO conditions with natural gas fuel, ambient temperature 15°C, no inlet exhaust losses, sea level, 60% relative humidity. Combustion inspection (CI), and liner and transition piece inspection (LTPI) can be performed at site. Package dimensions exclude driven equipment. Fuel flexibility and composition Our Frame 5/2C is capable of operating with a variety of fuel gases, with no combustor operability or integrity issues. It can burn heavy hydrocarbons (25% max ethane content or 20% max propane), inerts (25% max CO2 or 25% max N2), and hydrogen up to 20%. Frame 52C Flexibility Power crystal for power increase An additional 6% of power with lower maintenance intervals can be provided on the standard, LHE, and DLN1 configurations with no hardware modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical lead time for gas turbine overhaul services?

The lead time for gas turbine overhaul services ranges from 6 to 14 weeks, depending on the damage assessment, parts availability, and whether hot-section repairs are required. Expedited options may reduce this by 30%.
Do you provide customizations for legacy turbine control systems?

Yes, we retrofit legacy systems (e.g., GE Frame 5, Siemens V94.2) with modern digital controllers, typically completing hardware integration within 4-8 weeks. Software migration requires additional validation time.
How often should industrial gas turbines undergo performance testing?

We recommend annual performance testing under ISO 3977-2 standards. Critical applications (e.g., offshore platforms) may require semi-annual tests with emissions compliance checks.
Are your radiation-hardened (rad-hard) semiconductors compliant with MIL-PRF-38535?

All rad-hard devices (e.g., FPGA, ADC) are QML Class V certified under MIL-PRF-38535 and tested to MIL-STD-883 Method 1019 for SEU tolerance. Full qualification reports are available upon request.
What temperature ranges do your military-grade ICs support?

Our ASICs and power management ICs operate across -55°C to +175°C ambient temperatures, with derating curves provided in military temperature range (MTR) datasheets.
Are PMA parts interchangeable with OEM components?

Our PMA parts (e.g., actuators, sensors) hold FAA/EASA Form 1 certification and match OEM form/fit/function. Installation requires SB/MB documentation per FAA AC 23.1529.
What traceability standards do you follow for aircraft fasteners?

All NAS/MS fasteners include full DNA traceability: melt source (AMS 2301), heat/lot numbers, and AS9100-compliant MTRs with ultrasonic test reports.
How do you handle urgent AOG (Aircraft on Ground) requests?

AOG orders ship within 4 hours for stocked items (FAA-PMA, EASA Part 21G). Non-stock critical parts trigger priority manufacturing with 72-hour max turnaround.
