China exported its first domestically produced F-class 50-megawatt heavy-duty gas turbine, shipping the unit to Kazakhstan.

Dongfang Electric Group said a domestically developed F-class heavy-duty gas turbine departed Deyang, Sichuan, on August 28 for shipment to Kazakhstan. The turbine has a rated capacity of 50 megawatts.

The shipment was described as China’s first overseas export of a complete, fully domestically produced high-end heavy-duty gas-turbine unit. The distinction concerns export of the complete machine rather than an individual turbine component.
