GPB180D
GPB180DGPB180D Ideal for Industrial and Utility users requiring from 16 to 18 Mw's with significant thermal loads who require a "Green Engine" with reduced emissions and high efficiency for fuel savings. Our GPB180D unit has best overall heat rate in its class, CHP operation can boost total thermal efficiency to 82%. This engine is also offered in "non-DLE configuration for operations in areas that do not require reduced engine emissions.
Kawasaki's GPB180D packaged power plant uses our heavy duty L20A GT engine, and offers simple cycle electrical efficiency of 33.5% and an overall Cogeneration thermal efficiency of 82%.  It is well suited for use in base loaded industrial process plant applications, Hospitals, Universities/ colleges , Shopping malls and large office complexes that incorporate district heating and cooling CHP loads , pharmaceuticals, LNG Terminals, electric utilities,  municipal subway and electric rail systems, oil field and mining site power, and other facilities with significant thermal and electrical loads.

The design of the GPB180D is a scaled up version of our M7A GT engine used in our highly reliable and successful GPB70D packages.  This further assures high reliability and availability in the 97% to 98% range.
A Closer Look
The GPB180D is ideal for use in areas requiring reduced engine emissions - "Green Engine"   It is designed for base load use in cogneration and;: Electric utilites, industrial process plants,  Hospitals, Universities, shopping malls, high rise condominium buildings, office complexes incorporating district heating and cooling systems, pharmaceuticals, city subway and electric rail systems, oil field and mining site remote power, Ethanoll plants, LNG Terminals, and other facilities with significant thermal and electrical loads.
  • Offers electrical efficiency of 33.5% and an overall Cogeneration efficiency of 82%
  • Combined-cycle power plant with the GPB180D and a steam turbine will realize electrical efficiency of over 48%
  • Design assures better RAM (reliability, availability, maintainability) and greater durability with 30,000 HRS TBO (Time Between Overhauls)
  • Reduced NOx emissions of under 23 ppm at O2=15%
  • Split case design allows for ease of inspection and maintenance on site, reducing costly downtime
  • Cold end drive eliminates thermal growth coupling mis-alignment issues reducing maintenance costs
  • GPB units can be applied to either 50 Hz or 60 Hz electric systems
