Description OverviewMachine type: back-pressure steam turbine GT 500-4Brand: M+M Turbinen-TechnikModel: GT 500-4Year of construction: 2013Condition: usedFunctionality: fully functionalM+M turbines are typically custom-made industrial steam turbines used for combined heat and power (CHP) or for energy recovery from process steam.Due to the moderate inlet pressure and the relatively high outlet pressure, this is a back pressure steam turbine.It was designed for process steam systems to ensure efficient energy recovery and heat supply.The turbine was used in a paper mill to increase efficiency.With an output of 7.2 MW, this turbine is considered a medium-sized system in industrial applications.Thanks to the pressure ratios and the use of the turbine's exhaust steam, very little energy is lost.SpecificationsPower: 7,130 kW (9,694.09 HP)Continuous power: 7,130 kW (9,694.09 HP)Nominal power: 7,130 kW (9,694.09 HP)Output frequency: 60 HzRotational speed (max.): 1,500 rpmEvaporation pressure: 21 barSteam pressure: 4.3 barTemperature: Inlet 365 °C (689°F) / Outlet 165 °C (329°F)Generator: 8300 kWelMotor brand: M+M Turbinen-TechnikMotor and gearboxEstimated steam flow rate: 30 to 40 t/hMaximum steam flow rate: 114 t/hSteam pressure is reduced from 20 bar to 4.2 bar as the steam flows through the turbine.Operating DataOperating hours: 73,000 hTotal operating hours: 73,000 hOperating hours (annually): 8760 h/yearDesigned for operation for 8,760 hours (full load year)Efficiency achieved in the paper mill: 60% to 75%Efficiency in CHP operation: approximately 75% to 85%The turbine-generator unit supplies the paper machine with electricity at the 6 kV level.The process steam required for production is provided in two pressure stages.If the turbine needs to be shut down for any reason, the process steam supply is provided via four pressure reducing stations connected in parallel.Included EquipmentTransformers included: Siemens Type 4GU6043-9HY
