For more than two decades, GE's F-technology gas turbines have been the turbines of choice for power generators around the world. Built upon a rich history of ongoing enhancements gained from real world experience, our success continues with the new 7FA. With more than 700 units in worldwide service and logging more than 16 million operating hours and over 470,000 fired starts, the 7FA continues to make history by delivering record-setting performance, reliability and availability while achieving superior emission levels. GE's F-class gas turbines are first in class, delivering an impressive list of record-setting firsts such as:
- First to achieve 99.2% operating reliability
- First to achieve single digit NOx and CO emissions
- First to reach 55% thermal efficiency in combined cycle operation
- First to achieve 98.4% starting reliability
- First to achieve 96% availability
- First to achieve 40% load with single digit NOx and CO emissions
- First to surpass 16 million fired hours of operation
