Course overview
As discussed in the previous course, General Electric Company (GE) has developed a fleet of gas turbines serving many different applications. Understanding the components and design of the F-series gas turbine is necessary to distinguish it from others within GE's fleet.
The Introduction to the GE Frame Series Gas Turbine training course discusses why the F-series gas turbine was developed. This course describes the Frame 7 gas turbine's design, basic components, and general operation. This course is part of the Combustion Turbine Fundamentals training series
