In 2018, a Guinness World Record of 63.08% efficiency was set, but gas turbines were not always this efficient. The first simple cycle turbine developed in 1939 was operating at 18% thermal efficiency with turbine inlet temperature less than 540℃ and exhaust temperature a little over 260℃.
With a proven, long-term track record of successful installations around the world, the SGT-800 gas turbine is an excellent choice for both industrial power generation and oil and gas applications. It will meet your requirements for efficiency, reliability and environmental compatibility, offering low lifecycle costs and the best possible return on investment.
