TA Industrial Gas
Turbine
Introduced to the market in 1952, the Siemens Energy TA
Gas Turbine is a two-shaft industrial engine. The initial
release to market was the TA1250; however, with various
up rates throughout the years, the final release product
was the TA2500 in 1983. Most of the fleet is the TA1750
with a power output of 1,810 bhp (PG) and 1,875 bhp
(MD) at full load speed of 6,000 rev/min (PG) and 6,600
rev/min (MD) under ISO conditions.

Specifications
Gas Generator
The axial compressor is flexibly coupled to the compressor
turbine and the complete rotating assembly is supported
in three bearings. These are carried in the rigid stator
casings, which are split horizontally along the centre line
of the rotor shaft to facilitate inspection of both the rotor
and stator blades and bearings. A single large diameter
combustion chamber is used, capable of burning a wide
range of fuels.
Compressor
The thirteen-stage compressor is a subsonic aerodynamic
design with a pressure ratio of 4:1 at full load. Two sleeve
bearings are used to carry the rotating assembly
supported by the stator casing at the turbine end and the
inlet casing at the compressor end. An anti-whirl type
bearing is fitted at the compressor turbine end of the
assembly and thrust loads are taken by a white metal
lined double acting tilting pad bearing. Separate grooved
discs are clamped together with a single through bolt to
make up the rotor assembly. Stator blades are retained by
dovetail roots in grooves machined on the stator casing
which is split on the horizontal centre line to facilitate
inspection of the rotor and stator assemblies.
Compressor Turbine
The two-stage turbine which is flexibly coupled to the
compressor rotor, has a full load speed of approximately
12,000rev/ min.
Power Turbine
The discs of the two-stage free power turbine and the
rotor blades are manufactured from alloys to meet the
engine duty. The blades are fixed into the discs by the
traditional fir tree root method and secured by peening.
The use of two stages gives low stress levels and
maintains a safe overspeed capability. There are no
critical speeds within the operating speed range. Two
sleeve bearings support the power turbine rotor shaft
which are carried in the robust gear casting to which is
secured the support arm for the stator casing. Thrust
loads are taken by a white metal lined tilting pad thrust
bearing.
Control system
The compensating hydraulic governor, that controls the
quantity of fuel delivered to the combustion chamber, is
gear driven from the power turbine. It controls the
turbine over the full power range and allows output
speed to be controlled. Starting may be either from a 24-
volt D.C. electric motor or by a gas starter motor driving
through a Bendix drive on to the turbine axial compressor
shaft. When operating on gaseous fuels the pilot igniter
can be supplied with gas from the main fuel system via a
pressure reducing valve. For engines burning liquid fuel
the igniter gas supply is taken from a gas bottle or similar
source of supply. The control equipment is housed in two
cabinets mounted in the turbine under base, the
hydraulic control cabinet housing the engine instruments,
pressure switches a servo system component while the
electrical control cabinet contains the associated relays,
timers, wiring and terminals, the selection switches, the
annunciator panel, and the T Max temperature indicator.
The turbine is fitted with devices to shut down the
turbine in the event of:
- Low lubricating oil pressure
- High lubricating oil temperature
- High cycle temperature
- Over speed
- Flame failure
In the event of high lubricating oil temperature or high
cycle temperature, a visual and audible warning is given
before shutdown values are reached
Engine Auxiliaries
During starting and for the cooling period after
shutdown, lubricating oil is supplied by a D.C. electric
motor-driven auxiliary lubricating oil pump. The main
engine pump is driven through the auxiliary gear train
from the output shaft. Oil cooling is by either an air blast
or water-cooled cooler to meet site requirements. The
double helical gears have hardened teeth and are
precision ground to ensure silent running and long
working life. For direct drive to centrifugal pumps and
compressors a shaft speed of 6,600 rev/min is provided.
The engine is mounted on an under base with extended
platforms on which the auxiliary components are
installed. This also forms the lubricating oil tank.
