Features
High performance modern power generation
1. High performance and low cost gas turbine
World class Kawasaki performance is at the heart of these gas turbine generators. Practical for an alternator drive source, this turbine generator is f
abricated with a single axis system. These are low cost, high performance, Japanese made turbine generators, backed by a comprehensive parts and supply service system.
2. Single-shaft type for frequency characteristics stability
The M1A-23 turbine employs a single-shaft system, designed for an alternator drive source. There are few speed fluctuations, and it is possible to obtain a good frequency fluctuation rate during steady operation and when connecting or disconnecting the full load. This is impossible with diesel engine or double-shaft gas turbines.
3. Self air cooling
The self cooling nature of the system eliminates the need for water cooling. Consequently, water cooling system maintenance is uneeded, eliminating the possibility for freezing water outages to occur due to maintenance accidents. This reason is another benefit over diesel engines, which require water cooling.
4. Clean environment protected exhaust
This natural gas burning Kawasaki M1A-23 turbine results in less emission of most types of air pollutants and carbon dioxide (CO2) than diesel engines, while producing an equal or greater amount of energy.
5. High frequency noise management
The system is designed to limit noise production to the high frequency range, for easy noise management with attached auxilliary equipment. The included silencer equipment further reduces exhaust noise, resulting in non intrusive operating acoustics. In contrast, diesel engines produce low frequency noise, which travels vibrations further and more noticably, while requiring more advanced noise management equipment. Noise management of the Kawasaki M1T-23 turbine is refined and optimized to meet even the most stringent site boundary noise restrictions.
6. Extreme shock & vibration resistance
Due to the high frequency turbine design, no special foundation work or vibration isolation is needed during installation. As a result, there is no requirement for robust spring or rubber shock mounting systems as vibration countermeasures, in contrast with diesel engines, which require major mounting systems. Consequently, outstanding earthquake resistance is attributed to the system. The low resonance frequency design causes little vibration, proving to be highly effective during natural disasters as well.  The Kawasaki GPS 4000 has operated without disruption during a major earthquake, supplying infrastructure with stable uninterrupted power during outage.
7. Momentary overload capacity
The main shaft rotation speed can be reduced to momentarily absorb significant inertia when starting an induction motor or similar equipment. When compared with similar class diesel generators, the M1A-23 gas turbine system has a much higher momentary overload capacity, providing an inherent benefit for standby equipment applications.
8. Reliable startup performance
The system starts up quickly without fail, and can be quickly connected to the load without warm-up operation. The startup equipment utilizes a continuous combustion system with a dual injection nozzle equipped with a single-can combustor. In contrast with diesel engines, there are almost no ignition failures during startup with this type of system. Further, with no water cooling equipment (as diesel engines require), the self-cooling design of this sytem has a shorter pre-start check. System startup is quick and without fail, initializing load without the need to warm up, as engines have.
9. Compact with easy transport & installation
The M1A-23 gas turbine is unexpectedly small and lightweight, at nearly 1/4 the weight, and roughly 1/7 the volume of similar class diesel engines. This compact turbine generator package can easily be transported and installed at cramped locations including rooftops and basements. Additionally, without the need for water cooling  equipment, less installation area is required, allowing for a more effective use of space.
