GE 9H gas turbine

This picture shows a General Electric 9H gas turbine under assembly. It is deployed in an advanced combined-cycle power generation turbine system and has a generating capacity of 480MW.
This system can achieve 60% net thermal efficiency burning natural gas, which makes it the largest and most efficient gas turbine in the world.

Goodwin supply the finish machined and assemble steam gland for this turbine.

Super nickel alloy steam gland

In order to withstand the temperature required to produce higher efficiencies this steam gland is manufactured by Goodwin in a super nickel alloy 625. The forgings and piping are fabricated onto the casting by TIG and MMA welding followed by radiography of the welds.

The first two applications of GE's H System which contain Goodwin steam glands are the Baglan Bay Power Station in Port Talbot, South Wales, where the world's first 9H began operation in 2003 and Tokyo Electric Power Company's Futtsu Thermal Power Station Group 4, which will feature three 9H gas turbines. The first unit for Futtsu was shipped in June 2006

CDC Assembly

Undergoing machining at the Goodwin facility, this CDC assembly in 1¼ CrMoV steel is made up of two outer casing castings which have fabricated chambers and two inner barrel halves.

Gas Turbine Burner Nozzle

Every gas turbine has gas or fuel oil burner nozzles around the combustion chamber. Seen in the photo is a 304L stainless steel gas turbine nozzle that is produced by Goodwin
