Abstract
A modular gas turbine system is disclosed. The system includes a base plate and a gas turbine engine mounted on the base plate. The gas turbine engine is drivingly coupled to a rotating load mounted on the base plate. A supporting frame extends above the base plate. A first bridge crane and a second bridge crane are movably supported on the supporting frame.
Claims16
A transportable modular gas turbine system, comprising:
- a base plate;
- a gas turbine engine having a rotation axis, mounted on the base plate;
- at least one rotating load, mechanically coupled to the gas turbine engine and mounted on the base plate;
- a supporting frame extending above the base plate;
- a first bridge crane movably supported on the supporting frame;
- a second bridge crane movably supported on the supporting frame,
- wherein the first bridge crane is movable along first rails extending substantially parallel to the rotation axis of the gas turbine engine and the second bridge crane is movable along second rails extending substantially orthogonal to the rotation axis of the gas turbine engine.
A transportable modular gas turbine system, comprising:
- a base plate;
- a gas turbine engine having a rotation axis, mounted on the base plate;
- at least one rotating load, mechanically coupled to the gas turbine engine and mounted on the base plate;
- a supporting frame extending above the base plate;
- a first bridge crane movably supported on the supporting frame;
- a second bridge crane movably supported on the supporting frame,
- wherein at least one of said first bridge crane and second bridge crane is movable on first rails extending substantially parallel to the rotation axis of the gas turbine engine and projecting horizontally beyond the footprint of the base plate, up to a lay down area arranged on a side of the base plate.
A transportable modular gas turbine system, comprising:
- a base plate;
- a gas turbine engine having a rotation axis, mounted on the base plate;
- at least one rotating load, mechanically coupled to the gas turbine engine and mounted on the base plate;
- a supporting frame extending above the base plate;
- a first bridge crane movably supported on the supporting frame;
- a second bridge crane movably supported on the supporting frame,
- wherein the first bridge crane has a lifting capacity higher than the second bridge crane;
- the first bridge crane and the second bridge crane are movable on common rails mounted on the supporting frame;
- the rails extend substantially parallel to the rotation axis of the gas turbine engine and having an end portion projecting horizontally beyond the footprint of the base plate up to a lay down area arranged on a side of the base plate;
- and the first bridge crane is movably arranged between the second bridge crane and said end portion of the rails.
A transportable modular gas turbine system, comprising:
- a base plate;
- a gas turbine engine having a rotation axis, mounted on the base plate;
- at least one rotating load, mechanically coupled to the gas turbine engine and mounted on the base plate;
- a supporting frame extending above the base plate;
- a first bridge crane movably supported on the supporting frame;
- a second bridge crane movably supported on the supporting frame;
- and
- a third bridge crane movably supported on the supporting frame,
- wherein the first bridge crane and the second bridge crane are movably arranged on first rails supported by the supporting frame and the third bridge crane is movably arranged on second rails supported by the supporting frame.
A transportable modular gas turbine system, comprising:
- a base plate;
- a gas turbine engine having a rotation axis, mounted on the base plate;
- at least one rotating load, mechanically coupled to the gas turbine engine and mounted on the base plate;
- a supporting frame extending above the base plate;
- a first bridge crane movably supported on the supporting frame;
- a second bridge crane movably supported on the supporting frame,
- wherein the gas turbine engine comprises an air intercooler, in which partly compressed air from a first compressor section of the gas turbine engine is cooled in heat exchange relationship with a heat removal fluid;
- and wherein a plurality of secondary coolers are arranged on the supporting frame and are fluidly connected with the intercooler, the heat removal fluid being in heat exchange relationship with a cooling medium in the secondary coolers.
