Headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio-based GE Marine will provide gas turbine auxiliary equipment for LM2500 turbines, which are used to power the India’s P17A naval ships. Each P17A frigate has two LM2500 gas turbines and two diesel engines.
GE’s India-based partner, Bangalore-based Hindustan Aeronautics Limited Industrial and Marine Gas Turbine division, will assemble the LM2500 gas turbines for delivery to the Indian Navy. Auxiliary equipment provided by GE includes a gas turbine controller, electric starters, intakes and outtakes, firefighting equipment, water wash, start skid, and fuel forwarding.
Vishal Wanchoo, president and CEO of GE South Asia said, “GE will also handle the design work for the P17A’s gas turbine auxiliary system and gas turbine fuel supply system and will provide training to the shipyards and Indian Navy for these systems.”
