TURBINES, COMPRESSORS AND EXPANDERS

Baker Hughes turbomachinery

Specify a Baker Hughes turbine, compressor or expander from the project duty. Identify components for an installed machine from its markings and assembly documents.

Equipment and machine families

Identify the equipment group and task: a new package, complete replacement or maintenance components. Retain the machine’s complete designation and installation scope.

NovaLT gas turbines

NovaLT is a Baker Hughes gas-turbine family including NovaLT12 and NovaLT16. For equipment selection, provide the project duty, required package scope and installation conditions.

For maintenance components, retain the complete installed configuration, serial number and parts documents for the particular turbine. Separate the main machine from independently identified auxiliary devices.

Frame industrial gas turbines

The Frame portfolio contains several industrial gas-turbine configurations. Preserve the complete designation, such as Frame 5/2E or Frame 6/1B, with the serial number and installation records.

A replacement-component request should identify its original part reference and the specific machine document. Define the required package and interfaces when requesting complete equipment.

LM and LMS aeroderivative gas turbines

The aeroderivative portfolio includes LM6000PF+, LM9000 and LMS100PB+. Identify the precise model suffix, package configuration and required assembly. For replacement parts, attach the installed unit’s own documents and retain the relationship between each component and its serial machine.

Distinguish a complete assembly from individual items within it.

Steam turbines

Baker Hughes supplies steam-turbine technologies for mechanical drive and power generation. Its published series include SC, SAC, SNC and SANC. Describe the project’s steam conditions, shaft duty and installation arrangement for complete equipment.

Existing-machine components should be identified through the complete type, serial number and relevant assembly drawing.

Centrifugal and axial compressors

MCL, BCL, PCL, ICL and SRL identify different compressor arrangements in the portfolio, alongside axial compressors. Submit process-gas information, operating cases, driver requirements and layout constraints for selection.

For a part, preserve the complete machine designation, serial number, assembly reference and drawing item rather than relying on the family name alone.

Reciprocating compressors

The reciprocating portfolio includes API 618 process compressors, PH/PK hypercompressors and Hyrcel and VerHy 550 hydrogen solutions. Different applications require their own machine configurations and component documents. For equipment, provide the process duty and package scope.

For a cylinder, valve or other part, retain the exact installed assembly reference.

Expanders and energy-recovery machinery

The portfolio includes turboexpander compressors, turboexpander generators and hot-gas expanders. Identify the process duty, required arrangement and associated compressor or generator. Specify auxiliary-system boundaries for a new package.

Maintenance components should be linked to the particular serial machine, its assembly drawing and the documented contents of the requested item.

Machine components and auxiliaries

Identify rotating and stationary elements, seals, bearing assemblies and auxiliary-system components through the relevant machine list. Keep independently marked instruments and equipment under their own references.

Specify whether the requirement covers a complete assembly, an individual component or a documented maintenance kit, retaining quantity and installation association for every line.

Selection inputs

Medium, operating cases, power or shaft duty, installation conditions, driver, connections and project-defined auxiliary boundaries.

Parts for an installed machine

Complete configuration, serial number, assembly document, drawing item, quantity and technical attachments.

Equipment families and the project scope

Baker Hughes brings gas and steam turbines, centrifugal and axial compressors, reciprocating compressors and expander solutions into its industrial equipment portfolio. A complete installation may contain several separately identified machines.

Start by specifying the process or drive task and the equipment that should be included in the proposed supply.

Separate a new machinery project, a complete replacement and maintenance components for an installed unit. Provide the plant equipment tag, driver and driven-machine arrangement, and an overall list of the installation.

This connects the technical requirement to a defined asset rather than only to a broad brand name.

Inputs for new machinery and replacement equipment

Submit the project data sheet with the service medium, operating cases and required output or shaft duty. Retain units for every value and distinguish normal, minimum and maximum cases where the project defines them.

Include driver requirements, installation layout and connection information appropriate to the particular machine.

A replacement project should show the current equipment and the new requirement separately. Provide the installed nameplate, relevant drawings and any changes in process duty. Identify retained interfaces, available space and auxiliary systems so the proposed scope addresses the actual installation.

Keep a controlled revision of the equipment list and mark amendments when the duty, arrangement or package scope changes. Photographs support the installation documents; they do not replace the dimensions or project requirements needed to define the interfaces.

Installed identity and component references

Provide a readable machine nameplate, serial number and complete type designation, including suffixes. Attach the applicable assembly drawing and parts list with the required item marked. A drawing position remains meaningful only when linked to its document and the particular installed machine.

Where an original reference is missing, supply the available operating records, previous confirmed specification and photographs of the marked component. Identify the source of dimensions and descriptions. Keep internal warehouse codes as additional references associated with the actual equipment.

Following modifications, use current documents and identify the changed assemblies. For multiple machines, group requirements by serial number and include attachment filenames in the procurement table. Preserve separate quantities for assemblies, individual components and maintenance sets.

Gas-turbine families and package configuration

NovaLT12 and NovaLT16 belong to the NovaLT family, while Frame and aeroderivative LM/LMS machines represent other portfolio groups. Retain the exact installed designation, including references such as Frame 5/2E, Frame 6/1B, LM6000PF+, LM9000 or LMS100PB+, where shown in the equipment records.

For a maintenance item, identify the particular turbine assembly and original part reference. Separately document package auxiliaries with their own nameplates and connection information.

For a complete assembly, show its boundaries and contents in the relevant drawing rather than relying on a general unit description.

For new equipment, provide the required drive or power-generation duty and package conditions from the project. A planned-maintenance list should distinguish essential replacement items from optional stores stock, with each line linked to the relevant machine and document revision.

Steam-turbine duty and installation

Identify whether the steam turbine serves mechanical drive or power generation. Preserve the complete machine type and serial number; published portfolio designations include SC, SAC, SNC and SANC. Use the installed machine’s own documents when requesting internal components or assemblies.

For a new unit, provide the project steam conditions, required shaft duty and installation arrangement. Include inlet and outlet conditions and any project-defined extractions or admissions. Keep distinct operating cases separate and retain the original units and accompanying process documents.

For replacement equipment, show retained connections and mounting requirements. For parts, identify the housing, rotor or auxiliary assembly to which the item belongs, using its original reference and drawing. Independent auxiliary devices require their own markings and component lists.

Centrifugal, axial and reciprocating compression

MCL denotes a horizontally split compressor family and BCL a vertically split family. PCL addresses pipeline compression, ICL integrated motocompressor arrangements, and SRL another compressor family.

These names identify the enquiry direction; the complete configuration remains tied to the actual machine records.

For new compression equipment, provide gas composition, flow, pressures, temperatures and project operating cases, together with driver and layout requirements.

When modifying an installation, distinguish the changed process duty from the existing machine specification and identify which auxiliaries remain in service.

For reciprocating equipment, preserve the complete machine and assembly designation. API 618 process compressors, PH/PK hypercompressors and Hyrcel and VerHy 550 hydrogen solutions have different scopes.

A cylinder, valve or other component request should refer to the installed unit’s own drawing and parts list.

Expanders and associated equipment

Distinguish a turboexpander-compressor, turboexpander-generator and hot-gas expander. Provide the complete machine type, serial number and process equipment tag.

For a new package, identify the working medium, operating cases, associated compressor or generator and the boundaries of auxiliary systems.

Maintenance components should remain linked to the specific serial unit and assembly drawing. Define the contents of the requested assembly and show retained interfaces. Independently marked monitoring or auxiliary devices need their own identification alongside the general expander documentation.

For several operating cases, use separate rows rather than combining values from different conditions. Maintain the relationship between each process case and its required equipment arrangement, keeping revised project requirements distinguishable from the records of the installed machine.

Parts lists, documentation and receiving

A practical procurement table contains the machine tag, complete type, serial number, assembly reference, drawing item, quantity and attachment name. Group parts by their machine and identify the contents of any requested kit.

Keep seals, bearings, rotating elements and independently identified devices under their applicable references.

List document and receiving requirements before ordering, retaining any language, marking and equipment-association requirements. When quantities or scope change, issue an updated list and mark the amended lines.

On receipt, compare markings, contents and quantities with the agreed specification and retain the documents with the installation records.

To start selection, send the machine nameplate, required scope, marked drawing and quantities, together with a work contact and delivery destination. For complete equipment, add the project data sheet and identify existing components that are intended to remain in the installation.

Confirmation of scope

Availability, price, lead time, distributor status, certificates and compatibility are not stated in advance. Configuration, supply scope and documents are confirmed for the specific enquiry.

Send the technical requirement

Send the project data sheet or parts list, machine markings, quantities and a work contact for technical clarification.
