Gas turbines installed in new aircraft carrier

摘要

The MT30, at 36MW (approximately 50,000 horsepower), is the world's most powerful marine gas turbine. Two MT30s will be installed in each ship and will provide two thirds of the 109MW needed to power the 65,000tonne ships.The MT30s are installed as part of a Gas Turbine Alternator (GTA) which also includes an alternator and gas turbine enclosure, weighing a total of 120tonnes.Tony Wood, Rolls-Royce president -marine described the successful installation of the first MT30 as "a significant milestone in the Queen Elizabeth class programme."
