Rolls-Royce also offers the RB211 Series turbine with ratings of 25 - 35 MW, and the Trent Series with ratings from 50 - 60 MW. These units are outside the scope of this DG Guide. For information on these units, see teh Rolls-Royce web site, linked below.
Allison 501
(3,949 - 6,420 kW)
Serving the 3.9 to 6.4 MW range, these units draw upon 30 years of evolution. The Allison 501 has accumulated over 60 million hours of operation with more than 500 customers in 40 countries.
The Allison 501 is a lightweight, modular engine that helps drive down operating costs by virtue of low fuel consumption (the 501 can be configured to run on gas, liquid or dual fuel at a thermal efficiency of up to 31%) high availability and ease of maintenance.
The twin shaft gas turbine package offers rugged, easy to maintain performance due to features such as auxiliary equipment being skid mounted.
Allison 601
(6,449 - 7,918 kW)
Two versions of the Allison 601 industrial gas turbine provide power in the 6.5 to 8MW range.
Based on a common core, the two 601 engines have been developed with Dry Low Emissions technology, maintaining an efficiency of 33%. Advanced technical features include a variable geometry 12 stage high hub/tip ratio compressor, a high capacity three-stage power turbine and a digital electronic control system.
Low maintenance and long life; high reliability and availability; rugged design; expanded operability and extended overhaul periods are all key features of the 601.
Emissions
All new Allison 501 gas generators are available with Dry Low Emissions technology.
