M701JAC gas turbine exceeds 8,000 actual operating hours
Aerobraze OKC awarded USAF contract
Aerobraze Engineered Technologies Oklahoma City has been awarded a five-year contract with the U . S . Air Force that includes the overhaul and remanufacture of F-15 fighter aircraft tubular heat exchangers and C-130 heat exchangers at the Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma . Over the past 20-plus years , Aerobraze Oklahoma City has overhauled and remanufactured more than 2,500 F-15 tubular heat exchangers . The process includes 100 % percent replacement of all tubes and non-serviceable manifold component parts , as well as inspection in accordance with the USAF Technical Order . Adding the C-130 heat exchanger expands Aerobraze Oklahoma City ’ s product lineup and military capabilities .

Mitsubishi Power , a power solutions brand of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries , Ltd . ( MHI ), has achieved an accumulated 8,000 hours of actual operating hours ( AOH ) for its M701JAC gas turbine . The subject gas turbine unit was installed for the gas turbine combined cycle ( GTCC ) power generation system operated as part of a joint venture between Thailand ’ s Gulf Energy Development Public Company Limited , one of the country ’ s largest independent power producers ( IPP ), and Mitsui & Co ., Ltd . The 60Hz model M501JAC gas turbine previously achieved 8,000 AOH in June 2018 , and with the 50Hz model M701JAC now having exceeded 8,000 AOH as well , the state-of-the-art air-cooled JAC ( J Series Air Cooled ) series has established an industry benchmark of reliability for both the 50Hz and 60Hz markets . Further , an M501JAC model gas turbine utilized for a long-term demonstration operation begun in July 2020 at the T-Point 2 combined cycle power plant validation facility on the grounds of the Takasago Machinery Works in Hyogo Prefecture , has recently reproduced the result of more than 8,000 AOH . This achievement provides even more solid evidence of the reliability of JAC Series gas turbines .
