Industrial & Marine Turbine Forecast ratin or higher. The company maintains that this type of construction has superior built-in safety

margins and that the five-bearing layout is beneficial when coupled to single-bearing generators. The weight of the rotor is absorbed

by the fifth bearing at the end of the quillshaft, leaving the remaining four only to maintain the position of

the bull and pinion gears. As licensee/builder of the V6.3 and SGT-1F, Ansaldo has installed at least 2 V6 machines

to customers in eight countrie . The leading customer nation is Italy, with seven machines delivered. It delivered the two V6.2s known to have been installed. The V6.3A . In early 1, Siemens and Ansaldo Energia revealed their joint effort on the V6.3A (now the SGT-1F), rated at about 6 MW. The Ansaldo Energia contribution for the new model was concentrated in the design and successive manufacture of the stator compartmen , turbine cases, annular combustion chamber, and fuel burners. The new machine was developed for enhanced power output and efficiency, and for reduced environmental impact. The earliest order for the V6.3A came from Neckarwerke Elektrik for topping duty in Germany: that machine was ordered in November 1. In 1, Ansaldo shipped 1-MW Effasu barge-mounted gas turbine power station for the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation; the barge has two V6.3A machines. It should be noted that instead of the traditional Siemens silo-type combustors, the V6.3A gas turbine uses annular combustion chambers. That method allows for more compact layout, reduction in cooling air consumption, and more uniform gas temperature distribution to the Stage 1 turbine inlet. Funding No German government funding pertaining to the Siem ens SGT-1 series machines has been identified.
