Gas Turbine Development Facility
West Bethesda, MD
The Gas Turbine Development Facility consists of the DDG-51 LBES and Intercooled Recuperated (ICR) Gas Turbine Facility. Prominent in usage is the DDG-51 LBES since the ICR site is planned (completed awaiting testing) for the Navy’s future marine gas turbine development. The DDG-51 site consists of two GE LM-2500 marine gas turbines and associated auxiliary equipment configured as engine room #2 in the AEGIS Arleigh Burke Destroyer Class. This site became operational in 1989 and is used in a variety of components and system oriented tests that include integration testing of propulsion machinery (reduction gears, lube oil systems, air systems, water systems) as well as machinery control and data acquisition and information systems.
