-
Marine Propulsion
Module - The marine propulsion module shown above was built for naval patrol ships at the MTSI facility in cooperation with GE, Woodward and Bibby Transmissions. The module uses a GE LM500 engine and is rated at 5500 shp. This module is designed to be mounted together as a pair or shipset (1 port and 1 starboard module) with controls that are cross connected for single or dual operation.

MAN Turbo THM1304-11 Gas Turbine
Methanol Fuel Generator Set - This MAN Turbo THM1304-11 Generator Set was specifically designed to run on Methanol Fuel while providing high efficiency and low life cycle costs in cogeneration applications. Outside of the fuel system and control room setup, this unit is very similar to the gas or duel fuel unit shown below.

MAN Turbo THM1304-11 Gas Turbine
Generator Set - The MAN Turbo THM1304-11 Generator Set provides high efficiency and low life cycle costs for gas or duel fuel fired cogeneration applications.
-
LHD8 LM2500/(+) Hydraulic Starting
Module - The LHD8 Hydraulic Starting Module (HSU) provides cranking power for water wash motoring and starting an LM2500+ gas turbine ships propulsion system.
-
Vericor VPS4 Gas Turbine Generator Set
- MTSI was engaged by Vericor Power Systems (originally Allied Signal/Honeywell) to design gas turbine electric generating packages based on their ASE40 and ASE50 gas turbine engines. Three (3) VPS3 packages were designed and manufactured by MTSI and subsequently sold for cogeneration applications and now in successful operation. Three (3) additional packages using the ASE50 gas turbines were then ordered by Vericor. These are complete, tested, and ready for shipment on very short notice.
-
Kawasaki GBP15X Gas Turbine Generator
Set - MTSI was engaged by Kawasaki Motors Corporation to prepare a cogeneration package design utilizing approximately 50% U.S. component value content in order to satisfy a U.S. Government purchasing requirement and customized to meet a specific cogeneration plant installation requirement. The package was also to incorporate the first production Xonon combustion system.
-
Yale University PGT5 Co-generation Plant
- MTSI discussed a cogeneration requirement with power plant facilities management people at Yale University. MTSI contacted General Electric/Nuovo Pignone relative to GE assuming a prime contractor role for this project and to supply three (3) Pignone PGT5 (now the GE5) gas turbines to incorporate in the Yale Power Block. A contract was negotiated with Yale to supply the generating modules, heat recovery boilers & related auxiliaries including intake air filters, and chilled water/air coolers & interconnecting ducting. MTSI performed as a General Electric subcontractor on this project which has now been in operation for about 5 years delivering substantial payback to the University in the form of avoided cost for electric power and steam for heating and air conditioning.

U.S. Navy Projects DDG51, NASSCO, LHD8, and DD(X) - DDG51 Program
- MTSI performed as the design agent for the GM/Allison Division for this project. MTSI conducted the detailed design, supported all qualification testing and arranged a manufacturing source for the DDG51 ships Service Generator Sets (SSGTG's). Over approximately seventeen (17) years, about 150 sets have been delivered to the two participating shipyards (BIW and NGSS).
- Strategic Sealift Ship
- During 1994, MTSI received an RFQ from NASSCO (National Steel and Ship Building) to design and furnish a hydraulic starting power module for the two main propulsion LM2500 Gas Turbines on these ships. Subsequently, eight (8) modules were delivered to the shipyard and are currently in successful service and operation on these ships.
- LHD8
- In May of 2002, MTSI submitted its proposal to design and supply two LM2500+ hydraulic starting power modules for the LHD8 ship conversion program. A contract was awarded to MTSI by Northrup Grumman ships systems (NGSS). These modules are similar to those provided for the Sealift ships, but incorporate a number of refinements requested by NGSS, as required for combatant type ships. These refinements include shock isolation mounts and shock, vibration, and EMI testing, as well as refinements in piping and instrumentation.
- DD(x) ATGS
- During the 1990's, MTSI provided a design study and proposal support to GEAE for various DD(x) ships main and auxiliary turbine generator installations. These efforts may lead to detailed design, manufacturing, and test support related to this ship building project.
