Compressor & combustion
• The axial compressor is an evolution of our MS5002E design
with one stage added (taking it from 11 to 12) for improved
efficiency – increasing the pressure ratio from 17:1 up to 19:1.
• There are three variable geometry stages (IGV, S1 and S2)
on the axial compressor for a wide speed range and surge
robustness.
• The ruggedized single annular combustor and 360° combustion
casing were developed from our GE5 unit – delivering a
compact and flexible design with reduced emissions.
• Adapted from our GE5 and leveraging experience from our
aeroderivative LM family, the 39 premixers with double
counter-rotating swirler deliver perfect air-fuel mixing plus
easy maintenance.
Turbine section
• The 1
st
and 2
nd
HP buckets are made of Single Crystal N4
material to ensure superior efficiency and durability while
eliminating the need for thermal barrier coatings.
• The LP turbine has a variable-geometry nozzle for higher
efficiency and improved emissions at part load (ideal for
pipeline applications with direct coupling) and a full 360°
casing for tight clearance control.

machine architecture
The NovaLT16 is designed to maximize production and minimize risk. The
product of decades of industry-proven GE technologies and expertise, it
combines our latest advances in design and materials with the evolutionary
adaptation of key features from GE turbines with more than a million
combined hours of operating experience in oil and gas applications. It is
therefore the best of both worlds – new and proven.
