Fuel System
Various fuel, water, and steam systems can be selected for the LM2500 engine to fit a particular
installation. The selection will depend on fuel availability and NOx suppression requirements, with
either water or steam injection. Table 1 provides a summary matrix of LM2500 engine configurations
which are offered for specific Purchaser requirements. The engine model designations are also
provided.
This Section specifies operational/interface limits and requirements for the fuel, water, and steam
systems, which are included as standard equipment for a particular gas turbine model. The gas turbine
hardware includes fuel nozzles and fuel/water/steam manifold systems mounted externally on the gas
turbine.
The fuel, water, and/or steam flow rates are determined from performance data which is described in
Performance. The supply pressure requirements at the engine interface connection points can be
determined with fuel flow, water or steam flow, and engine pressure level (PS3) from the performance
data, and flow-pressure characteristics described in this section. Generally the estimated fuel flow rates
should be increased at least 5% and the water/steam flow rates increased by 20% when calculating
pressure requirements and system sizing to account for engine variations and deterioration.
Specific Installation data for each fuel system are provided by selecting the desired fuel system in Table
1. Additional general requirements are provided in Table 2.
