TM2500
[edit]Is it worth mentioning that the LM2500 is also packaged as a mobile power plant marketed as the TM2500? I found some news coverage of its use in Chicago in 2000, as well as in Fourchon, LA after Katrina. Full disclosure: I worked on the second (or third, depending on how you count) generation of that product line. --W0lfie 23:51, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Fuel?
[edit]
What fuel does it burn? JP4? Bunker C? DaveCrane (talk) 00:53, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
- Me too! What it uses for fuel should be in the introduction. Pb8bije6a7b6a3w (talk) 15:14, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
There is no simple answer for that question. An LM2500 on an airplane might use some kind of jet fuel, but one installed on US Navy ship might use F-76 spec diesel. Both could probably use a wide variety of fuels similar to diesel in an emergency, with modifications, or whatever a customer specifies. --Dual Freq (talk) 18:30, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
- GE says "distillate or natural gas, diesel, propane, naphtha, coke oven gas, and more." A gas turbine will burn almost any fluid. I don't think there is any point trying to list all the possible fuels. Kendall-K1 (talk) 19:05, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
Wouldn't a simple answer be that the turbine is capable of using a variety of fuels? As someone that only has the barest of understandings of turbine engines, a small section of text indicating the variety of applications and subsequent fuel needs would be highly illuminating SmolderingMachine (talk) 16:01, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
