Variable Inlet Guide Vane


(VIGV)
Product Description
Variable Inlet Air vanes help guide inlet airflow to maximize
Temp. (F) Power Increase
engine performance.
70 2.0%
Assembly located in front of Low Pressure Compressor (LPC),
80 5.8%
consisting of 43 stationary leading-edge vanes and variable
90 7.2%
trailing flaps (rotate -10 to +60 degrees).
100 11.5%
Variable Differential Transformers (LVDTs) on actuator ring
110 13.5%
drivetwin hydraulic actuators.
Variable Inlet Guide Vanes Assembly
LVDTs and VIGV positions are controlled by continuous
measurement of LPC inlet temperature and HPC discharge
static pressure.

If turbine has Fixed Inlet Guide Vanes, the upgrade involves


Customer Value
adding VIGVs, Hydraulic Control Unit (if applicable), off-engine
Increases generator power output by up to 3.25 MW.
Cables, hydraulic lines and updating the software.
Improves performance for simple and heat recovery cycles at
less than full load; reduces engine waste heat.

Minimizes variable bypass valve (VBV) flow and pressure levels,


thereby reducing associated flow noise.

For LM6000PC SPRINT Gas Turbine with EFS

Average power increase of 2 MW.

Greater than 2% fuel efficiency increase at 70% power.

Exhaust energy increase of 3%.

Flaps close during large power reductions to quickly reduce


LPC flow rate, helping maintain LPC stall margin.

Applicable Units
LM6000* P LM2500
LMS100 LM5000
LM1600 TM2500
* Configured for LM6000 PC units only
