Description. The Tornado is a single-shaft/twin-shaft axial-flow industrial gas turbine machine in the 6-7 MW class. Note: In April-August 2003, the Siemens Power Generation Group (PG) acquired the industrial turbine business of Alstom SA, Paris, France, in two transactions. In the first transaction, Siemens took over the small (up to 15 MW) gas turbine machine business. In the second transaction, it acquired the medium-sized (up to 50 MW) gas turbine machine and steam turbine (up to 100 MW) machine businesses. After completion of the transactions, Alstom Power was melded into PGs Industrial Applications Division, with the name Demag Delaval Industrial Turbomachinery Limited; that divisions headquarters is in Duisberg, Germany. In this report, Siemens Demag Delaval Industrial Turbomachinery Limited entity is referred to DDIT. Sponsor. The Tornado was privately developed by the then-Ruston Gas Turbines Limited, an entity that later became a part of European Gas Turbines Limited, the latter of which later became a unit of Alstom. Power Class. The power output/rating of the Tornado is 6.75 MWe for electrical generation, and 10,300 bhp (7,680 kW) for mechanical load drives. Status. In production. Total Produced. At the start of 2004, at least 230 Tornado machines had been built and installed. Application. Electrical generation, including cogeneration; mechanical load drives, including gas compression and pumping. Price Range. Estimated in 2004 U.S. dollars at US$2.6-$2.8 million for a Tornado-equipped gas turbine generator package, and US$2.4 million-$2.6 million for a gas turbine-equipped mechanical driver package. For electrical generation, prices in 2004 calendar year U.S. dollars are for a basic electric power skid-mounted generator package including one simple-cycle (open cycle) single-fuel gas turbine, air-cooled electric generator, skid and enclosure, inlet and exhaust ducts with silencers, standard control and starting systems, and a conventional combustion system. For mechanical drive gas turbines, prices in 2004 calendar year U.S. dollars are for a basic natural gas-fired skid-mounted simple-cycle (open cycle) gas turbine prime mover equipped with inlet and exhaust ducts, exhaust silencer, acoustic enclosure, standard engine controls, and basic auxiliaries needed for an operational installation. Competition. The DDIT Tornado competes most actively in the electrical generation arena against the Kawasaki M7A-02, Solar Taurus 70, and the Zorya-Mashproekt UGT-6000 (Orenda GT6001). In the mechanical load drives arena, the Tornado competes most actively against the Solar Taurus 70.

Technical Data
Design Features Axial Compressor. A 15-stage axial-flow compressor of subsonic design provides a pressure ratio of 12.3:1 for the single-shaft model, and 12.6:1 for the twin-shaft model. Compressor blades and stator vanes are of 17-4 PH steel, while the discs are forged of Jethete 152 material (1.5 percent Ni-Cr-Mo steel). Cast-iron compressor casing is horizontally split for easy access and maintenance. The gas turbine has variable inlet guide vanes and stators for smooth startup and reliable part-load performance. Segmented compressor turbine stators are provided for the single-shaft model. Power turbine stator stages are cast as a complete ring. Combustor. The combustor has eight reverse-flow tubular combustion chambers that are positioned circumferentially to allow easy removal. The combustor casing is split vertically to provide access. Chambers are made of Nimonic 75, and use film cooling. For the conventional combustion arrangement, there are two retractable high-energy igniters, and cross lighting between chambers is featured. For the Dry Low Emissions (DLE) combustion arrangement, there are high-energy igniters in each combustor. For the single-shaft machine, steam injection is an option for power enhancement. Turbine. The turbine features a two-stage highefficiency design. Both versions have a two-stage overhung compressor turbine in which the first two blade rows are air cooled. For the single-shaft Tornado, the power turbine is mechanically coupled to the compressor turbine. For the two-shaft machine, the Tornado has a two-stage high-efficiency free power turbine in which the Stage 2 rotor blades have interlocking shrouds for mechanical integrity. The power turbine rotates in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from the driven equipment item. The power turbine has a maximum continuous design speed of 11,525 rpm and minimum design speed down to 7,000 rpm. Flexible coupling joins the compressor turbine and power turbine assemblies. Two-stage power turbine has solid blades cast of IN713LC; blades are unshrouded. Segmented nozzles are standard with four vanes per segment. Discs are of austenitic chrome steel (FV 488E), connected by a single center bolt. Nozzle segments are cast in IN713LC. Fuel System. Both variants of the Tornado can operate on natural gas or distillate fuel, with a dual-fuel capability available. The ability to burn nonstandard fuels is optional. The machine variants have an automatic changeover capability allowing the change from primary to secondary fuel at any load. Exhaust Emissions Control. The Tornado is available with a single- or a dual-fuel Dry Low Emissions (DLE) combustion system, with VGV modulation for part-load emissions control. DLE NOx levels are <25 ppm on gas fuel. Steam or water injection can also be used for emissions control on conventional combustion. Bearings. Tilting pad journal and thrust bearings are standard. Gearbox.

Program Review
Background. The prime manufacturer of the Tornado gas turbine machine is Siemens DDIT. The Tornado is manufactured in Lincoln, England, U.K. Firms that have been licensees or associates on the Tornado program include the following: Hitachi Limited; Tokyo, Japan Stewart & Stevenson Services Incorporated; Houston, Texas, USA Takuma Company Limited; Hyogo, Japan Ruston Gas Turbines began developing the Tornado in 1977. The Tornado is a two-shaft machine that can easily be converted to a single-shaft unit for generation applications. It borrows heavily from the design of the TB5000 series, with the exception of the freestanding accessory gearbox (included is the use of air-cooled turbine components to achieve higher turbine inlet temperatures and improved efficiency). The single-shaft arrangement is achieved by fitting a coupling between the compressor turbine and power turbine rotor, and is intended for generator drive with output shaft speeds of 1,800 rpm and 1,500 rpm to suit 60 Hz and 50 Hz cycle machines. The output shaft speeds of the two-shaft engine are designed to drive gas compressors in the range of 7,500 rpm to 12,000 rpm, and to drive centrifugal pumps at 3,000 rpm, 3,550 rpm, or 6,000 rpm. The Tornado design is uniquely simple, employing a single rotor with heavy duty casings, allowing full site maintenance to be carried out. Power Generation. The generator set package is very compact, providing a small footprint and a high power-to-weight ratio. The single-shaft configuration provides excellent load acceptance and rejection characteristics, allowing robust and reliable operation in all applications. Industrial Power Generation. The Tornado is the ideal unit for industrial power generation, particularly in cogeneration or combined heat and power. In applications where the Tornados high temperature exhaust is passed through a waste heat recovery unit or boiler, overall thermal efficiency of up to 95 percent can be achieved. Steam or hot water generated is used in industrial process or district heating schemes. The steam raised may also be used in small-scale combined cycle applications in conjunction with a steam turbine. Alternatively, exhaust heat may be utilized for drying of industrial products. Power Generation in the Oil and Gas Industry. The Tornados compact arrangement, on-site maintainability, and inherent reliability have made it the gas turbine of choice for the oil and gas industry. The Tornado is employed on offshore platforms and Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessels worldwide. Onshore, the Tornado is the ideal power generator for oil field service, refinery application, emergency and standby power generation. Cogeneration in the oil and gas industry provides highly efficient solutions for crude oil and glycol heating as well as steam generation. Dry Low NOx. Alstom had, for several years, been working on a dry low NOx combustor system for all its small industrial machines. Its system was a hybrid premix combustor that could meet current and planned European Union (EU) NOx emission standards. Over 600 hours of rig testing were carried out in 1993 on wet/dry low NOx systems. High-pressure rig and engine testing continued through 1994, with the Typhoon becoming the first EGTL machine to be sold with the DLN system in 1994. Sales of the DLN system on Tornado began in 1995. Tornado Mobile Power Package. In 1979, Ruston introduced the mobile power station incorporating its already-popular TB5000. The Nomad 10, using a single Tornado gas turbine machine, had a rating of 5.9 MW. The Lincoln-based firm launched the Nomad 10 with an eye to the market in southern Asia for mobile power generation. Steam Injection. EGTL/Alstom developed steam injection systems for several of the machines in its product line, including the Tornado and TB5000. The systems were originally designed to reduce NOx emissions levels from exhaust gases through the introduction of high-pressure steam into the gas turbines combustion chamber. EGTLs work has demonstrated that improvements in performance can be achieved: up to 55 percent increase in power, with efficiencies of
approximately 40 percent. In addition to steam injection for the Tornado and TB5000, water injection systems are available. The 6.75 MWe Tornado unfired heat recovery steam generation has an exhaust gas mass flow of 29.0 kg/sec at 472C. The gas temperature leaving the boiler is 120C. The mean specified heat is 0.26 kcal/kg/C. Mechanical Drive. The mechanical drive package is very compact, providing a small footprint and a high power-to-weight ratio. The twin-shaft configuration provides excellent speed and load turndown characteristics to allow maximum flexibility of operation. Compressor Applications. Due to the high output speed of the power turbine and its ability to operate at full load at reduced speed, most compressor drive applications can be met without the need for a speed changing gear between the power turbine and gas compressor. The Tornado offers exceptional performance for the drive of centrifugal compressors for gas injection, pipeline transmission and boosting, gas processing, and refrigeration applications. Where required, the exhaust
heat of the Tornado can be recovered for process provision, thus raising overall efficiency. DDIT offers a completely integrated gas compression package solution with common control and auxiliary systems. Alternatively, Tornado driver packages are available for customer integration. Pump Applications. The Tornado gas turbine provides an ideal drive solution for pumping applications. These include crude oil and product transmission and water injection. Drive from the power turbine is usually via a speed-reducing gearbox. The excellent load-speed characteristics of the Tornado provide operators with maximum flexibility for flow turndown and pressure control. DDIT offers a completely integrated pump package solution. Alternatively, Tornado driver packages are available for customer integration. Licensees. Hitachi in Japan has installed at least eight Tornado machines, all for generation duty, in Japan. Takuma has installed two machines in Japan. Stewart & Stevenson installed 15 machines, including eight machines in Brazil.

Worldwide Distribution
At of the start of 2004, at least 230 DDIT (previously Alstom) Tornado gas turbine machines had been manufactured and delivered to customers in 35 countries worldwide. Major customer nations include Algeria (30 machines), France (10), Japan (12), The Netherlands (12), Russian Federation (11) U.K. (26) and USA (18). By the end of 2004, Algeria will have taken delivery of 35 Tornado machines.
Forecast Rationale
Due to the high output speed of the Tornados power turbine and its ability to operate at full load at reduced speed, most compressor drive applications can be met without the need for a speed changing gear between the power turbine and gas compressor. The machine offers exceptional performance for the drive of centrifugal compressors for gas injection, pipeline transmission and boosting, gas processing, refrigeration applications, and a variety of other duties. The Tornado also provides an ideal drive solution for pumping applications, including crude oil and product transmission and water injection. Drive from the power turbine is usually via a speedreducing gearbox. The machines excellent load-speed characteristics provide operators with maximum flexibility for flow turndown and pressure control. As Siemens becomes involved in more and more power projects of all sizes, it will piggyback the Tempest into projects in which other Siemens machines are set to be installed, including land-based power projects and FPSO vessels. With its many benefits, the Tornado should continue to fare well in garnering new as well as follow-on orders, such as the 15-machine follow-up order from Algeria.
June 1996
The machine is well suited for duty in the Russian Federation and other nations of the former Soviet Union, as well as in North Africa. The machine has been well received in power schemes on three FPSO vessels, where its size melds well with other gas turbines on board those vessels. The Tornado is competing actively against Solars Taurus 70 and Kawasakis M7A-02 for simple-cycle generation and cogeneration applications, particularly in Europe and Japan. The ability of the Tornado to offer substantial energy savings in combined heat and power installations, where overall plant efficiencies are desirable, should mean continued interest in the
machine. In the mechanical drive arena, the Tornado also faces stiff competition from the Solar Taurus 70. The agreements with Hitachi and Takuma should spell ongoing success in the Far East/Asia/Oceania region, though sales here will not likely be as strong as in Europe or the Middle East. Once the economic problems in Asia are ironed out, we expect sales to again arise. Overall, in the decade 2004-2013, we project that DDIT in the U.K. will build 180 Tornado machines, with two-thirds of the machines going to customers for various mechanical load drive applications.
