MITSUBISHI AND WESTINGHOUSE UNVEIL NEW 150 MW CLASS GAS TURBINE.

Westinghouse Electric Corp, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries have introduced the new 150 MW class, Model 501F combustion turbine, the most recent result of the companies' collaborative efforts. As a merger of the companies' experiences and technologies, the 501F is a unique entry into the 60 Hz power generation markets. It combines Westinghouse's several decades of experience in two-bearing, cold end-drive, single-shaft heavy-duty machine with the aero-engine cooling and blading technologies used on the Mitsubishi MF-111 gas turbine, and an advanced hybird combustion technology which Mitsubishi has previously demonstrated on a 701D gas turbine.
