KAWASAKI LAUNCHES 30 MW GAS TURBINE: THE L30A IS THE LARGEST TURBINE IN THE COMPANY'S LINE-UP AND ACHIEVES BELOW 15 PPM NOx

摘要

Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHT) has completed the development of a 30 MW gas turbine known as the Kawasaki L30A. This unit has achieved NOx emission levels of 15 ppm. Within the KHI gas turbine line up (Figure 1), the L30A has the highest output power while retaining a similar thermal efficiency level to aeroderivative gas turbines of this class, despite having a heavy-duty design. At ISO conditions, the L30A supplies 30.9 MW of rated output, 41.3% thermal efficiency and an exhaust temperature of 470℃. These features are said to make it well suited to cogeneration and combined heat and power (CHP) applications.
