Characteristics and Applications of Hitachi H-25 Gas Turbine

OVERVIEW: More than 100 orders have been placed for Hitachi H-25 gas turbines from both Japan and various other countries, because of their exceptionally high reliability and efficiency in their class. In addition, they can be used for a wide range of applications, from power and general industrial use to utilization in oil and gas fields. The H-25 is characterized as being heavy-duty, highly reliable, and applicable to cogeneration and combined cycle operations, resulting in higher operational efficiency of the entire system, for which it is highly acclaimed. In one recent application where the worksite was located far from the power supply system, several H-25 gas turbines were used to form an island operation system that was not linked to the main power system. In another application, an H-25 gas turbine was used as a power supply for driving a motor, instead of the mechanical drive system usually based on a small gas turbine. Such applications have been adopted due to the high reliability of the H-25 gas turbine. Hitachi, Ltd. has continued to enhance its H-25 gas turbine as a type of power supply equipment, and thus has contributed to the fields in which it has been used.
