TOPAIR
Air-cooled turbogenerator
TOPAIR is the result of
continuous, evolutionary
development that has
pushed the limits of
power output while
maximising efficiency.
Simple & robust, showing extensive
reliability
The most powerful air-cooled turbogenerator in operation today, the Alstom
TOPAIR, has accumulated worldwide operational experience from more than
1000 units installed.
As world leader in air-cooled technology, Alstom has set the trend with TOPAIR
by designing a simple, robust air-cooled turbogenerator with high reliability and
maintainability. At the same time, the turbogenerator is characterised by simplicity and
ease of operation and maintenance.
Today, TOPAIR covers a range where a hydrogen-cooled turbogenerator was used
previously.
TOPAIR applications include:
Conventional steam power plants
Simple and combined cycle gas turbine power plants

Customer benefits
Continuous improvement
The latest cutting-edge technology
is applied to maximise TOPAIR
efficiency and generate more MW
with the same frame size and
weight.
Substantial cost advantage
With its high availability and lower
costs, TOPAIR is a clear alternative
to hydrogen-cooled turbogenerators.
Operational flexibility
TOPAIR supports all operation
modes from highly cyclic units
to continuous base load and
intermediate load operation, as well
as intermittent peak load operation.
