Turbines Roll-Royce Allison Centrax CX501 KB7

3709 This is a formal technical summary of the Centrax 501KB7 turbine package, drafted to highlight its recent overhaul and primary technical advantages.

Technical Presentation: Centrax 501KB7 Gas Turbine Package
Overview
This high-performance power generation package is built around the Rolls Royce Allison 501K (Single Shaft) aeroderivative engine. Manufactured in 2006 and having undergone a Major Overhaul in 2023, this unit represents a "near-zero hour" operational opportunity for industrial power or cogeneration (CHP) applications.

Power & Performance Data
The system is configured for high-stability, medium-voltage output, ideal for industrial grids or independent power production.

Net Electrical Output: 5,300 kWe

Mechanical Turbine Power: 6,100 kWm

Voltage: 10,500 / 11,000 Volts

Frequency: 50 Hz

Efficiency: 32.6%

Exhaust Gas Temperature: 511 °C (High-grade thermal energy suitable for steam production)

Heat Rate: 11,052 kJ/kWh (standardized value)

Operational Life & Maintenance Status
The most significant value of this specific package is its recent maintenance history:

Current Status: Approximately 6,170 hours since the Major Overhaul.

Overhaul Date: 2023 (Certified documentation available).

Historical Context: The original turbine core was replaced at 38,525 hours, meaning the current core is in the very early stages of its lifecycle following the total 2023 refurbishing.

Electrical & Alternator Configuration
The package utilizes a heavy-duty Leroy-Somer LSA56 alternator, originally manufactured in 2006. It is designed for continuous operation at 10.5/11 kV.

Grid Integration: A dedicated 10,500 V to 20,000 V Transformer is included, allowing for immediate connection to 20 kV distribution networks without additional capital expenditure for power transformation.

Scope of Supply
The unit is a complete "plug-and-play" enclosure, featuring:

Acoustic Protection: Silenced canopy for noise reduction.

Air Management: Full intake and multi-stage filtration system.

Fuel Train: Integrated gas lines and safety shut-off valves.

Control Systems: On-board control panel managing all protection and synchronization sequences.

Safety: Integrated fire suppression system.
