Cakerawala Platform Taurus 60 Generator Training Manual
SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION TO CAKERAWALA GAS TURBINES Turbines & Origins There are many different types of turbines in use in the world today. Some forms are old, like the Waterwheel (hydraulic turbine) and Windmill. Others are of more recent origin, Steam Turbines date from the 19th century while Gas Turbines date from the 20th century. Gas Turbines were originally conceived as a means of aircraft propulsion and were not developed for industrial use until 1947. Since then they have undergone significant changes in design to become more powerful and efficient and capable of operation in a wide variety of environments and applications.
Operating Principles All turbines are basically engines that convert the energy of a moving stream of fluid (liquid / water, steam or gas) into mechanical energy. The essential element of all turbines is a shaft with blades or buckets arranged radially around the shaft in such a fashion that the fluid stream imparts a force to the blades or buckets to cause the shaft to rotate. The rotational torque imparted to the shaft is then used to provide useable power; Examples : Waterwheel – mechanical drive (corn mill) ,hydro-electric generator. Windmill – mechanical drive (water pump), generator. Steam Turbine – numerous including mechanical drives and generators. Turbo-charger – compressor driver. Note: The rotating shaft on a Turbo-jet (aircraft engine) drives a compressor and other auxiliary drives and uses the exhaust gases to provide thrust to ‘push’ the aircraft forward.
Why Gas Turbine? There are numerous variants to the basic operating concept of an ‘engine that converts the energy of a moving fluid stream into mechanical energy’. What is common to all Gas Turbines is the ‘Driving fluid’ which is Gas. An aircraft Turbo-jet may use liquid fuel, but it is still a Gas Turbine because it is ‘driven’ by gas, just as the Turbo-charger is driven by the exhaust gas of a reciprocating engine and an Expander / Compressor is driven by the gas of the process it is operating on.

Industrial Gas Turbine – Principle of Operation There are numerous designs and configurations of Industrial Gas Turbines, but they all operate in essentially the same basic manner. They are heat engines and use the expanding gases of combustion to drive the turbine shaft. They operate under what is called the Brayton Cycle. Unlike the reciprocating Internal Combustion engine which also uses the expanding combustion gases to drive it’s pistons and operates under the Otto Cycle; the Gas Turbine has continuous combustion to provide continuous torque to the turbine shaft. They do not need a flywheel to dampen the intermittent cylinder combustion of the Internal Combustion engine and do not develop the high internal pressures encountered in the cylinders of a reciprocating engine.
The Brayton Cycle Brayton Cycle
In order to begin and then sustain combustion, an oxidizer (oxygen) must be combined with the fuel and ignited. Free air contains nearly 21% oxygen and like the internal combustion engine, this is used air, the remaind by being drawn in and compressed, (compression Brayton Cycle 1>2). It is then mixed with the fuel and ignited and combustion occurs, (Brayton Cycle 2>3). The combustion gases expand rapidly, (expansion, Brayton Cycle 3>7) and drive the turbine shaft. The expanding gases are then allowed to exhaust to atmosphere (Brayton Cycle 7>1) where the remainder of their heat energy is dissipated (the temperature falls). Note from diagram (A) that pressure only increases from 1>2 where it is at a maximum and is designed so that there is no increase in pressure at combustion. The points in the diagrams (1,2,3,7) are ‘Engine Data Points’ commonly used to indicate particular locations throughout the engine gas path (refer to diagram on page 1.3).
This is the basis on which all Industrial Gas Turbines operate and will be more fully explained in the modules that follow. At this stage it is worth noting that although only about ¼ of the air that is drawn into the engine is used for combustion, the bulk of the remainder is used for cooling and this still contributes to expansion. About 2/3 of the total power developed is used to compress air, the remainder is used to drive ‘loads’. Most machines are as described and are referred to as ‘Open Cycle’ units. However, some using “Recuperators”, while others use Waste Heat Recovery Units to ‘extract’ heat from the exhaust to be used elsewhere, for example to raise steam.
Principle to Practice As the thermodynamic principle on which Gas Turbines operate has been mentioned, how this is achieved in practice can now be considered. On Cakerawala, “Solar Taurus 60 Generator” sets are installed. While other manufacturers use different arrangements these machines are typical of the most common internal mechanical arrangements generally used. The Taurus 60generator sets are referred to as a “Single Shaft” arrangement. The “Single Shaft” configuration is the least complicated arrangement and will be considered first. T3 P3

Typical Single Shaft Cold End Drive Data Points
Typical Single Shaft (Cold End Drive) The drawing above shows the engine internal arrangement and the “Data Points” in the gas path. Air from the atmosphere is drawn in through the Air Inlet (T1, P1) by the Compressor Rotor Assembly, which is mounted on a common shaft connected to the Turbine Rotor Assembly at the RH end and the Engine Output Shaft at the LH end. As the Engine Output Shaft is at the cooler Air Inlet end and not at the hotter Turbine Exhaust end it is referred to as “Cold End Drive”. The compressed air leaves the compressor and enters the Diffuser (T2,P2) where it’s pressure(P2) is greatest and the temperature (T2) has also increased about 260C [@ 500F] above T1. Fuel Gas from the Fuel Gas Manifold is mixed with air from the Air Manifold and injected into the Combustion Chamber through Fuel Injectors where it is burnt after having been initially ignited by the Igniter Torch at the ‘start’. Combustion causes the temperature to increase to about 2800F and the volume to also increase greatly. The Combustion Chamber is constructed to allow cooler air to enter and direct the hot gases away from the Combustion Chamber liners (to minimise heat damage and to cool the hot gas) and into the Turbine assembly without increasing the pressure. The temperature at the inlet of the Turbine (T3) sometimes referred to as “TRIT” (Turbine Rotor Inlet Temperature) is generally not monitored, but the temperature at the inlet of the last stage (T5) invariably is and can be used as an indication of the heat energy in the engine. After exiting the turbine section the gases are directed away to atmosphere through the Turbine Exhaust (T7) and any external ducting.

SECTION 2 - CAKERAWALA GAS TURBINE START SYSTEMS Taurus 60 START SYSTEM GENERAL DESCRIPTION When the start/crank cycle is initiated, a timed prelube sequence is activated. As the prelube cycle times out, the control system directs power to Variable Frequency Drive (VFD430) which provides starting power to Starter Motor (B330). Initially, variable frequency drive VFD430 provides a low frequency ac voltage to motor B330 to begin rotation. The frequency and voltage to motor B330 are then ramped up to accelerate the engine to purging speed. Correct engine purging speed is maintained by a programmed fixed current limit to motor B330. At the same time, the fuel valves are opened, light-off is attempted, and the control system increases motor velocity, causing motor B330 to start ramping from purge speed to starter dropout speed. As the engine reaches dropout speed, variable frequency drive VFD430 is de-energized by the control system, cutting power to motor B330, and the motor clutch is disengaged. The ac direct start system provides the starting power for the engine. The start system includes the following: • Starter motor • Radio Interference Filter • Monitoring Relay • Variable frequency drive Starter Motor Starter Motor (B330), installed a mounting flange on the front the accessory drive pad, is a squirrel cage induction, 15minute inverter duty, polyphase-type motor. The motor provides high breakaway torque, and will accelerate the engine from standstill to starter dropout speed. The motor power is provided by Variable Frequency Drive (VFD430) and the motor is protected from thermal overload by Monitoring Relay (RT230). The motor also incorporates a space heater.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Starting Sequence The starting sequence is initiated by pressing the start button. Upon pressing the start button, the fuel gas valve and pre lube pressure checks are conducted. Along with this the enclosure pressurization and fan operation is also checked. STARTING Light (DS114) begins flashing. Fuel system valve check sequence begins. Post lubricating backup pump is tested for operation, post lubricating oil pump is started, and prelubrication begins. Enclosure ventilation fan is energized.
VALVE CHECK SEQUENCE Before the engine cranks during the start cycle, the fuel system performs a valve check sequence. If Gas Fuel Pressure Switches (S341-1, S341-2) sense fuel pressure, Gas Fuel Vent Shutoff Valves (V2P941, V2P941-1) are opened to vent gas from the supply line. If pressure drops below the set point, the vent valves are closed, and the valve check sequence proceeds. Primary shutoff valves V2P931 and V2P931-1 open and admit fuel to pressure switches S342-2, S342-3, and secondary shutoff valves V2P932 and V2P932-1. Pressure switches S342-2 and S342-3 signal increasing pressure. This verifies the opening of shutoff valves V2P931 and V2P931-1, and enables the start sequence to proceed. Five seconds after being opened, primary shutoff valves V2P931 and V2P931-1 close. If pressure drops, secondary shutoff valve V2P932 or V2P932-1 are leaking. After the prelube cycle, shutoff valves V2P932 and V2P932-1 open. With shutoff valves V2P931 and V2P931-1 closed, trapped gas is allowed to escape into the fuel system. Pressure drops indicating that shutoff valves V2P931 and V2P931-1 are fully closed and that shutoff valves V2P932 and V2P932-1 are open. If pressure fails to drop, a gas fuel valve fail malfunction indication and an engine shutdown are initiated 15 seconds after prelube is complete.
Lube Oil Pump Checks When the start cycle begins, the control system tests Postlube Backup Lube Oil Pump (P903). If pump P903 pressure reaches 4 psi (27.6 kPa), the control system deactivates pump P903 and then activates Pre/Post Lube Oil Pump (P902). If pump P902 pressure reaches 6 psi (41.3 kPa), the control system allows the engine prelube cycle to begin.
PRELUBE CYCLE After the lube oil pump checks are completed, the prelube time out timer (60 seconds) is started. The prelube time out timer is the allowable time for pump P902 to complete the prelube cycle. When the lube oil pressure is greater than the prelube low pressure limit of 6 psi (41.3 kPa), the prelube timer (30 seconds) is started. The engine must be prelubed at a pressure above 6 psi (41.3 kPa) continuously for the duration of the prelube timer (30 seconds). This prelube must occur within the time of the prelube time out timer (60 seconds). If the prelube timer times out before the prelube is done, the start is aborted and a prelube failed fast stop non-lockout alarm is annunciated on the control console.

SECTION 3 - CAKERAWALA GAS TURBINES LUBE OIL SYSTEMS TAURUS 60 LUBE OIL SYSTEM GENERAL DESCRIPTION The main purpose of the lube oil system is to deliver lube oil under pressure to the turbine bearings, driven equipment bearings, and gearbox (if installed) bearings, providing lubrication and cooling. The oil system also includes a servo oil system. The servo oil system supplies regulated, pressurized oil (hydraulic pressure) to numerous control actuators, providing the motive force needed to drive them. The systems utilize a common oil reservoir. Required cooling for the oil supply is provided by an oil cooler assembly which may be located remotely from the skid base or mounted directly on the skid base.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION General Lube Oil Flow The lube oil system provides oil delivered by Main Lube Oil Pump (P901) to the lube oil manifold. The oil is maintained at a nominal engine inlet pressure by Main Lube Oil Pressure Control Valve (PCV901). Oil pressure is also supplied to Guide Vane Control Actuator (L339) and bleeds valve actuator, causing the actuator piston to move in response to electrical signals from the control system. Temperature Control Valve (TCV901–1) will divert all of the oil from Air/Oil Cooler (HX901-1) until the oil temperature reaches a predetermined setting. Temperature control valve TCV901–1 then gradually transitions to supply oil to air/oil cooler HX901-1 in proportion to the oil temperature. From air/oil cooler HX901-1, the oil flows through Main Lube Oil Filters (FS901-1, FS901-2) to the oil supply manifold, then through various branch lines to points of lubrication. Oil to the reduction gear unit enters a port on the right-hand side of the housing. It flows through internal passages to a tubular oil transfer assembly, which directs the oil to the compressor rotor forward bearing. An oil jet, from a small tube in the oil transfer cap, lubricates the splined sleeve coupling on the compressor nose cone hub. Lubricating oil for remaining gears and bearings in the power train and accessory drive sections of the reduction gear unit is directed to their respective points through drilled passages in the gear unit housing and individual subassemblies. Oil is drained from the reduction gear unit housing by gravity to the oil reservoir. Oil supplied to a port on the compressor bearing support housing is delivered to compressor rotor aft journal and thrust bearings and, through internal passages, to the turbine rotor bearing. Oil from turbine rotor and compressor aft bearings drains by gravity to the lube oil reservoir through two drain outlets in the compressor bearing support housing.
Lube Oil Pump Checks When the start cycle begins, the control system tests Postlube Backup Lube Oil Pump (P903). If pump P903 pressure reaches 4 psi (27.6 kPa), the control system deactivates pump P903 and then activates Pre/Post Lube Oil Pump (P902). If pump P902 pressure reaches 6 psi (41.3 kPa), the control system allows the engine prelube cycle to begin.
PRELUBE CYCLE After the lube oil pump checks are completed, the prelube time out timer (60 seconds) is started. The prelube time out timer is the allowable time for pump P902 to complete the prelube cycle. When the lube oil pressure is greater than the prelube low pressure limit of 6 psi (41.3 kPa), the prelube timer (30 seconds) is started. The engine must be prelubed at a pressure above 6 psi (41.3 kPa) continuously for the duration of the prelube timer (30 seconds). This prelube must occur within the time of the prelube time out timer (60 seconds). If the prelube timer times out before the prelube is done, the start is aborted and a prelube failed fast stop non-lockout alarm is annunciated on the control console.
Engine Running After the prelube cycle is completed, pump P902 is de-energized when the engine is above starter dropout speed and the lube oil pressure is at or above 35 psi (241 kPa). At this point, engine-driven pump P901 begins providing lube oil pressure and continues to the steady state condition. After engine-driven pump P901 reaches the steady state condition, the lube oil schedule becomes active. During the steady state engine running condition, pump P902 is energized when: • •
The engine is below starter dropout speed and the lube oil pressure is at or below 25 psi (172.25 kPa) Engine speed of greater than 5% Ngp is detected.
Pump P902 will not be annunciated as failed during the steady state engine running condition when the lube oil pressure is less than the postlube low pressure shutdown limit, because pump P901 may be at fault.
Run Protection During steady state engine running, the control system provides run protection to the engine by energizing pump P903 anytime the lube oil pressure is below the lube oil pressure low alarm limit (41psi). When the lube oil pressure is no longer below the lube oil pressure low alarm limit pump P903 continues to run for 30 seconds and is then de-energized. The following 3 situations may arise: •
If the lube oil pressure continues to decrease below the lube oil pressure low alarm limit to the low lube oil pressure shutdown limit, a fast stop, lockout engine shutdown is initiated, and pump P903 contributes to protecting the engine bearings during the engine shutdown.
•
If the lube oil pressure continues to decrease below the lube oil pressure low alarm limit but stabilizes between the low lube oil pressure low alarm limit and the low lube oil pressure shutdown limit continuously for 5 seconds, a fast stop, non-lockout engine shutdown is initiated, and pump P903 contributes to protecting the engine bearings during the engine shutdown.
•
If the lube oil pressure increases above the lube oil pressure low alarm limit, and after 30 seconds or when pump P903 is de-energized, lube oil pressure once again decreases, an alarm is initiated and pump P903 is once again energized.
Postlube Backup Lube Oil Pump Checks During engine running, pump P903 operation is checked automatically. Pump P903 operation can also be checked manually.
AUTOMATIC POSTLUBE BACKUP LUBE OIL PUMP CHECK The operation of pump P903 is checked automatically each 24 hours. Every day at 12:00 Noon, a backup pump check is annunciated on the control console, indicating that a check of pump P903 has been initiated. Pump P903 is energized. When pump P903 has made enough pressure for Postlube Backup Lube Oil Pump Pressure Switch (S322-5) to remain closed for 90 seconds, pump P903 is deenergized and the backup pump check on the control console is extinguished. If pressure switch S322-5 is not closed within 30 seconds of pump P903 being energized, pump P903 is de-energized, the backup pump check on the control console is extinguished, and a backup pump check failed is annunciated on the control console.
MANUAL POSTLUBE BACKUP LUBE OIL PUMP CHECK Operation of pump P903 can be checked manually by selecting the backup pump check on the control console terminal. The sequence of events for manually checking the operation of pump P903 are the same as the automatic check above.
Postlube Cycle The postlube cycle begins when the rundown timer (6 minutes) has expired. Initially, pump P902 is de-energized to allow a check of pump P903 to take place. A 30 second pressure decay timer is started to allow the lube oil pressure to drop to 5 psi (34.4 kPa). If the pressure decay timer expires before the pressure drop occurs, the start is aborted and a backup lube oil pump fail alarm is annunciated on the control console. While the engine is in the postlube cycle, if pump P902 fails to keep the lube oil pressure above the postlube low lube oil pressure shutdown limit, a pump failure is annunciated on the control console. Pump P903 takes over the postlube and pump P902 is de-energized. However, pump P902 can be re-initiated to take over the postlube by acknowledging and resetting the alarm. During the time the lube oil pressure is less than the postlube low lube oil pressure shutdown limit, the postlube timer is frozen.
Postlube Scenarios The following are five distinct postlube scenarios which may be initiated: 1. POSTLUBE AFTER SHUTDOWNS BEFORE ENGINE TURNS If the prelube has been completed, but the starter motor has not yet been engaged, and the engine is stopped, the rundown timer is not triggered and postlube will not be initiated unless the engine was in postlube prior to the initiation of the failed start. In this case, the postlube will continue from the accumulated time from before the start was initiated.
2. POSTLUBE AFTER SHUTDOWNS FROM SPEEDS BELOW FIVE PERCENT If the starter motor has been engaged, but the engine is shut down before five percent Ngp, the rundown timer is reset so the engine is lubed for the duration of the rundown timer. Postlube will not be initiated unless the engine was in postlube prior to the initiation of the failed start. In this case, the postlube will continue from the accumulated time from before the start was initiated. 3. POSTLUBE AFTER SHUTDOWNS FROM SPEEDS ABOVE FIVE PERCENT AND BEFORE ENGINE LIGHTOFF If the engine is started and an engine shutdown is initiated after five percent Ngp, but before lightoff has been achieved, the engine is lubed for the time it takes the Ngp to drop below five percent plus the duration of the rundown timer. Postlube will not be initiated unless the engine was in postlube prior to the initiation of the failed start. In this case, the postlube will continue from the accumulated time from before the start was initiated. 4. POSTLUBE AFTER SHUTDOWNS WHEN LIGHTOFF HAS OCCURRED If the engine has achieved lightoff (defined as the T5 average temperature exceeding 400˚F [204.4˚C]), a full postlube is required. The full postlube lasts for 55 minutes, with the alarm and shutdown pressures as follows: •
Low Lube Oil Pressure Shutdown - 4 psi (27.6 kPa)
•
Low Lube Oil Pressure Alarm - 6 psi (41.3 kPa)
•
High Lube Oil Pressure Alarm - 25 psi (172.25 kPa)
5. POSTLUBE IN THE EVENT OF FIRE If an engine shutdown is initiated due to a fire, the engine is lubed until the rundown timer (6 minutes) expires. The postlube is then automatically postponed for 20 minutes. However, the postlube can be initiated manually during this time period by acknowledging and resetting the alarm. After the 20 minutes has expired, a postlube is automatically initiated. If a postlube is not desired, the postlube can be stopped manually. If the engine has been without postlube for longer than 20 minutes, a BEARING INSPECTION MAY BE REQUIRED alarm is annunciated on the control console. Such an event would be cause for investigation of possible bearing damage.
Lube Oil Pressure Schedule The low lube oil pressure shutdown limit is 4 psi (27.6 kPa) and the low lube oil pressure alarm limit is 6 psi (41.3 kPa) between the completion of the prelube cycle and the starter dropout speed. Ten seconds after starter dropout speed has been achieved, if the pressure is below 41 psi (282.5 kPa), a LOW LUBE OIL PRESSURE alarm is annunciated on the control console. If the pressure is below 25 psi (172.25 kPa), a fast stop, non-lockout engine shutdown is initiated. There is no high lube oil pressure alarm .

SECTION 4 - CAKERAWALA GAS TURBINES FUEL SYSTEMS TAURUS 60 FUEL SYSTEM GENERAL DESCRIPTION The fuel system, in conjunction with the electrical control system and the air system, schedules the fuel during acceleration and modulates fuel flow during operation. The system also provides overtemperature and overspeed topping control of fuel flow and includes automatic shutdown in the event of fuel component malfunction. The fuel system is designed to accommodate the high fuel flow of low Btu gas by incorporating two parallel gas fuel systems. These systems are duplicate systems. They operate in the same fashion. They are routed alongside one another, and they each contain the same primary and secondary pilot solenoid valves and gas fuel shutoff valves. NOTE The engine normally starts on gas fuel unless the liquid select switch is pressed before start. If the engine is shutdown while operating on liquid fuel, and the system control switch has not been moved to OFF position, a restart will be with liquid fuel unless the gas fuel system activate switch is pressed. At initiation of a gas fuel start, Liquid Fuel Purge Shutoff Solenoid Valve (L345-1) opens to drain liquid fuel from the fuel metering block and associated lines. The gas fuel system includes the following: • Gas fuel filtering • Pilot pressure for operation of solenoid-actuated pilot valves • Gas fuel metering and control The liquid fuel system includes the following: • Liquid fuel inlet fuel boost • Liquid fuel metering and delivery • Air assist (fuel atomizing air). Fuel transfer is possible only during normal operation, when engine speed is above 90 percent. Transfer is accomplished automatically if the operating fuel pressure drops below a preset value, or it may be initiated manually. When manual fuel transfer is initiated, the fuel pressure of the fuel subsystem, to which transfer is attempted, must be within prescribed limits. If the selected fuel system pressure is not within the prescribed limits, engine operation will continue on the operating fuel system until the selected system pressure becomes normal. Fuel transfer will then take place in the usual manner.An automatic fuel transfer may occur due to an operating fuel system pressure decrease. However, since an extremely rapid loss of fuel pressure may cause an engine flameout, the pressure drop must not be too large or sudden. Air assist is required for liquid fuel atomization during the start cycle. This supply must be clean, dry air regulated between 70 PSIG(482.6 kpa) and 250 PSIG (1712 kpa) at the package connection. Air usage per start is 30 SCFM (0.8 NM³/min) for 30 secsonds.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Gas Fuel Operation Sequence of Operation Sequence of operation includes the following steps: • Valve check sequence • purge crank cycle • Ignition sequence • Acceleration sequence
VALVE CHECK SEQUENCE Before the engine cranks during the start cycle, the fuel system performs a valve check sequence. If Gas Fuel Pressure Switches (S341-1, S341-2) sense fuel pressure, Gas Fuel Vent Shutoff Valves (V2P941, V2P941-1) are opened to vent gas from the supply line. If pressure drops below the setpoint, the vent valves are closed, and the valve check sequence proceeds. Primary shutoff valves V2P931 and V2P931-1 open and admit fuel to pressure switches S342-2, S342-3, and secondary shutoff valves V2P932 and V2P932-1. Pressure switches S342-2 and S342-3 signal increasing pressure. This verifies the opening of shutoff valves V2P931 and V2P931-1, and enables the start sequence to proceed. Five seconds after being opened, primary shutoff valves V2P931 and V2P931-1 close. If pressure drops, secondary shutoff valve V2P932 or V2P932-1 are leaking. After the prelube cycle, shutoff valves V2P932 and V2P932-1 open. With shutoff valves V2P931 and V2P931-1 closed, trapped gas is allowed to escape into the fuel system. Pressure drops indicating that shutoff valves V2P931 and V2P931-1 are fully closed and that shutoff valves V2P932 and V2P932-1 are open. If pressure fails to drop, a gas fuel valve fail malfunction indication and an engine shutdown are initiated 15 seconds after prelube is complete.
PURGE CRANK CYCLE After the valve check sequence is completed, the purge crank cycle is initiated. The purge crank cycle removes combustibles from the entire engine exhaust system. The starter cranks the engine to 25 percent engine speed (Ngp) for a minimum of 5 minutes. The purge crank cycle is programmed according to package exhaust system volume.
IGNITION SEQUENCE After the purge crank is completed, Torch Gas Fuel Shutoff Valve (V2P940), Ignition Exciter (G340), and the fuel control ramp are energized. Shutoff valves V2P931, V2P931-1, V2P932, and V2P932-1 are opened and gas flows into the system. Fuel flows to the torch and is ignited by Igniter Plug (E340) in the presence of combustor air. The torch flame flares into the airflow inside the engine combustor liner. Gas fuel flows from the shutoff valves and is regulated by Gas Fuel Control Valves (EGF344, EGF344-1). Fuel passes through fuel injectors, spaced equally around the combustor, to mix with combustor air stream. Initially, fuel/air mixture is too lean for ignition. The fuel control ramp directs valves EGF344 and EGF344-1, to move toward a maximum open position. The control ramp enriches the fuel/air mixture and lightoff occurs smoothly.
ACCELERATION SEQUENCE Following lightoff, turbine temperature increases rapidly beyond 400_F (204_C). The lightoff ramp is completed, and the acceleration ramp is initiated. Ignition Exciter (G340) and shutoff valve V2P940 are de-energized and the torch extinguishes. Fuel control valves EGF344 and EGF344-1 are ramped open to gradually bring T5 temperature up to 800_F (427_C). At 35 percent gas producer speed (Ngp), fuel control valves EGF344 and EGF344-1 continue to ramp until T5 reaches 1200_F (654_C). From this point, the control system is switched over to engine speed (Ngp) control. At 65 percent engine speed (Ngp), the starter clutch overruns and the start system is de-energized. The engine continues to accelerate. At 70 percent engine speed (Ngp), Compressor Bleed Valve (PCV942) begins to close. Continuing to 80 percent engine speed (Ngp), the inlet guide vanes begin to move toward the maximum open position. As engine speed (Ngp) increases to 90 percent, the fuel supply rate from control valves EGF344 and EGF344-1 level off for 10 seconds to prevent T5 temperature from exceeding the shutdown limit. After the time delay, control valves EGF344 and EGF344-1 increase fuel supply until engine speed (Ngp) is 100 percent (synchronous idle). At synchronous idle, the guide vanes are fully open and bleed valve PCV942 is closed. The engine is now ready for load and the control system switches to generator load control. If the temperature shutdown timer fails to shut down the engine during an overtemperature condition and the turbine engine temperature reaches a higher maximum limit, the engine temperature T5 backup shutdown circuit will activate and initiate an immediate engine temperature T5 high malfunction indication and an engine shutdown.
Liquid Fuel Operation Liquid Fuel System Liquid fuel flows through a Filter Transfer Valve (VT933) to a single filter element of the duplex filter system, and Liquid Fuel Filter Differential Pressure Switch (S343). Filtered liquid fuel then flows to the Liquid Fuel High Pressure Pump (P931). Pump P931 is driven by the Main Liquid Fuel Pump Motor (B343). High pressure fuel from pump P931 flows through Liquid Fuel High Pressure Filter (FS936). Fuel from filter FS936 is metered to the engine fuel injectors by Liquid Fuel Control Valve (ELF344). Fuel is routed to the torch through Liquid Fuel Torch Shutoff Solenoid Valve (L348-1).
PURGING SEQUENCE At initiation of the start sequence, shutoff valve V2P945 is opened and the purge valve timer is started. Shutoff valve V2P945 remains open until the purge valve timer times out. At initiation of a liquid fuel start, the liquid fuel select switch is pressed. When the start switch is pressed, the air assist shutoff valve (L350-1) opens and Liquid Fuel Purge Shutoff Solenoid Valve (L345-1) opens to purge the fuel metering block and associated lines.
IGNITION SEQUENCE After the purge cycle is completed, solenoid valve L348-1 opens and Ignition Exciter (G340) is energized. Liquid fuel flows through solenoid valve L348-1 to the igniter torch, is atomized by torch air assist pressure, and is ignited by Igniter Plug (E340) in the presence of combustor air. Simultaneously, fuel from pump P931 flows through open Liquid Fuel Shutoff Valve (V2P939 and a torch fuel bias pressure valve VCS932 to the fuel injectors. Air from the air assist manifold enters the injectors and atomizes the fuel. The torch flame flares into the airflow inside the combustor liner and ignites the mixture from the fuel injectors when the mixture has enriched sufficiently to support combustion.
ACCELERATION SEQUENCE Following ignition, turbine temperature increases beyond a predetermined setpoint, ignition exciter G340 and solenoid valve L348-1 are de-energized, and the torch extinguishes. The control voltage to control valve ELF344 is slowly ramped open to increase the turbine engine temperature. When the engine temperature reaches the 1125° F (633°C) threshold, the ramp is halted. Increasing engine airflow reduces engine temperature. At 1110°F (599°C), the ramp resumes. At 66 percent engine speed, the start system is de-energized. Engine cranking ceases and fuel atomizing air is supplied by Pcd through the air blast and injector fittings. Pcd air continues to circulate through the air assist passages and manifold to keep them purged of liquid fuel. As engine speed increases, the liquid fuel control valve balances fuel with Pcd to maintain the acceleration schedule. As the engine attains 100 percent speed, control of control valve ELF344 is switched from the acceleration control system to the generator load system. Line synchronization module assumes fuel control by means of analog signals to control valve ELF344 to control engine speed. Engine temperature T5 setpoints, which are offset to other-than-normal values during the start sequence, are switched to the normal operation temperature setpoints at 66 percent speed. Should the turbine engine temperature exceed the temperature control setpoint at engine speeds above 65 percent, the engine temperature, T5 delayed shutdown alarm is indicated and, following the five-second time delay, an engine shutdown is initiated. The time delay is to allow for momentary overtemperature during load transients. If the temperature shutdown timer fails to shut down the engine during an overtemperature condition and the turbine engine temperature reaches a higher maximum limit, the engine temperature T5 backup shutdown circuit will activate and initiate an immediate engine temperature T5 high malfunction indication and an engine shutdown. If during normal operation the differential pressure across the duplex low pressure fuel filters should exceed a predetermined setting, pressure switch S343 will transfer and initiate a high fuel filter differential pressure alarm without causing an engine shutdown.
If the high pressure fuel pump inlet pressure should drop below a preset value, pressure switch S3872 will transfer. If the engine speed is above 15 percent, pressure switch S387-2 will initiate a sixsecond time delay followed by a low liquid fuel pressure malfunction and an engine shutdown. Upon engine shutdown (normal or malfunction), shutoff valve V2P945 opens. During run-down, the Pcd purges the fuel injector, torch nozzle, and the lines back through the purge valve to an external drain, until the purge valve timer times out, at which time spring pressure closes shutoff valve V2P945.
Air Assist (Fuel Atomizing) System Proper functioning of the liquid fuel system requires that liquid fuel be positively atomized upon injection into the combustor. During normal operation at operating engine speed, Pcd air flowing inside the combustor housing is directed through the injector fittings to atomize injected fuel. In the beginning of the start sequence, when Pcd air blast flow at the injector fittings is too low for proper atomization, air assist from an external source is required.
PURGING SEQUENCE At start, air assist is first directed to both Air Assist Shutoff Solenoid Valve (L350-1) and pilot solenoid valve L345-1. Shutoff valve V2P945 is opened and Pcd purges the fuel injectors and the lines back through shutoff valve V2P945. When purging is completed, internal springs close shutoff valve V2P945.
IGNITION SEQUENCE Air Assist Pressure Control Valve (PCV933) senses Pcd to control the air assist pressure at a fixed bias above Pcd. After passing through a check valve, the pressure-controlled air separates and flows in two different directions. One path flows to the igniter torch where the air flow is used to provide positive atomization of the liquid fuel at the torch during the start sequence only. The other path passes directly to the air assist manifold and out to the injectors.
ACCELERATION SEQUENCE At 66 percent engine speed, Pcd air is at a sufficient level for proper fuel atomization, and valve L3501 is de-energized. This cuts off air assist to pressure control valve PCV933. Fuel atomizing air is supplied solely by Pcd air through the air blast and injector fittings.
SHUTDOWN SEQUENCE During engine shutdown (normal or malfunction), shutoff valve V2P945 is opened. During run-down, the Pcd purges the fuel injector, torch nozzle, and the lines back through shutoff valve V2P945 to the purge tank, until engine speed decreases below 15 percent when internal springs close shutoff valve V2P945.
Fuel Transfer Fuel transfer is possible only during normal operation when engine speed is above 90 percent. Automatic transfer is accomplished from gas fuel to liquid fuel only. The transfer takes place when gas pressure drops below a preset value, or it may be initiated manually. When manual transfer is initiated, the pressure of the selected fuel system must be within prescribed limits. If the selected fuel system pressure is not within the prescribed limits, engine operation will continue on the operating fuel system until the selected system pressure becomes normal. Fuel transfer will then take place in the usual manner. An automatic fuel transfer to liquid fuel may occur due to a decrease in gas fuel pressure. However, since an extremely rapid loss of fuel pressure may cause an engine flameout, the pressure drop must not be too large or sudden.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS DUAL FUEL Main Liquid Fuel Pump Motor Main Liquid Fuel Pump Motor (B343), connected to Liquid Fuel High Pressure Pump (P931) by a coupling, is a continuous-duty, squirrel-cage, polyphase electric motor. The motor is used to drive pump P931. The motor incorporates a space heater. Gas Fuel Control Valves Gas Fuel Control Valves (EGF344, EGF344-1), downstream of Gas Fuel Secondary Shutoff Valves (V2P932, V2P932-1), are electrical, closed-loop servo valve that controls the steady state flow of gas fuel to the engine. The electrical control signal is provided by an analog signal from the control system. As the valve piston moves to its commanded position, the feedback mechanism spring begins to develop an equal and opposite force. This feedback force will balance the electrically-generated force created by the input signal. As a result, movement of the valve piston will stop at a position proportional to the input signal current. For each input signal from the control unit, there is only one position of the valve piston at which the feedback spring force exactly balances the deflection force imposed on the armature by the torque motor coil. During the ignition sequence, beginning at the moment the torch is ignited, the valve is energized by an increasing signal from the control system. The valve gradually opens, enriching the fuel/air mixture until combustion is able to propagate smoothly from the torch. This action avoids a lightoff into surge. When the turbine temperature reaches 400°F (204°C), the valve is commanded to be ramped open at a predetermined rate.

Liquid Fuel Control Valve Liquid Fuel Control Valve (ELF344), located downstream from Liquid Fuel High Pressure Filter (FS936), is an electrical, closed-loop servo valve that controls the steady state flow of liquid fuel to the engine. The electrical control signal is provided by an analog signal from the control system. As the valve piston moves to its commanded position, the feedback mechanism spring begins to develop an equal and opposite force. This feedback force will balance the electrically-generated force created by the input signal. As a result, movement of the valve piston will stop at a position proportional to the input signal current. For each input signal from the control unit, there is only one position of the valve piston at which the feedback spring force exactly balances the deflection force imposed on the armature by the torque motor coil. The fuel metering portion of the control valve meters fuel to the engine according to demand established by the control system. Excess fuel is returned to the fuel inlet by action of the differential pressure control valve. During the ignition sequence, beginning at the moment the torch is ignited, the valve is energized by an increasing signal from the control system. The valve gradually opens, enriching the fuel/air mixture until combustion is able to propagate smoothly from the torch. This action avoids a lightoff into surge. When the turbine temperature reaches 400°F (204°C), the valve is commanded to be ramped open at a predetermined rate.

The pressure switch checks the function of Liquid Fuel High Pressure Pump (P931) prior to a fuel transfer. If sufficient pressure is being produced by pump P931, the pressure switch transfers and a transfer to liquid fuel is allowed. If not, the transfer is inhibited until sufficient pressure is being produced. Flameout Indicator Differential Pressure Switch Flameout Indicator Differential Pressure Switch (S349), mounted parallel to Flameout Time Delay Fixed Orifice (F0940), is a double-pole, double-throw, snap-acting-type pressure switch. Their relationship forms a flameout detection circuit. The pressure switch is used to initiate a malfunction shutdown whenever differential pressure across the pressure switch occurs due to sudden pressure losses of engine Pcd. A slow reduction in engine Pcd (as occurs in a load reduction) will not actuate the pressure switch (no flameout indicated). The pressure switch transfers when differential pressure exceeds the setting of the pressure switch. The pressure differential across the pressure switch happens because fixed orifice F0940 limits the rate at which the pressure in the calibrated volume on the high side of the switch can decay. The slow decay causes the pressure switch to stay energized from 1 to 5 seconds after a rapid loss of Pcd due to possible flameout.
During start pr operation above 65 percent speed, if the main fuel actuator exceeds 95 percent of its acceleration limit and engine Pcd drops by more than the stepping of the pressure switch in 0.25 seconds, the pressure switch is actuated, a flameout malfunction is annunciated, and the engine is shut down. This time/pressure relationship is a physical characteristic of a flameout.

SECTION 5 – CAKERAWALA GAS TURBINES AIR SYSTEMS Introduction The basic operating principles of Industrial Gas Turbines that these notes are considering were introduced in Section One “Introduction to Gas Turbines”. It was mentioned that a fundamental component of these engines is the Compressor, which compresses air for various uses in the engine, which include; Primary Air for Combustion and Secondary Air for Cooling, Sealing and Control . It was also mentioned that about 2/3 of the total power developed was used to drive the compressor and this should illustrate not only how important a component the compressor is, but also that it must be capable of operating satisfactorily over the entire speed range from start to full load. How this is achieved will be considered in this section after a view of the fundamentals of the air systems.
Principles Ambient air is drawn into the Compressor – data point T1, P1. Work is done by the Compressor to increase the pressure (and temperature) of the air and to decrease its actual volume – data point T2, P2, at the exit of the Compressor. As will be seen a further pressure increase then occurs in the Compressor Diffuser and the pressure here is monitored and is also used for control purposes. This pressure is known as “Pcd” From the Compressor Diffuser the air path is divided to supply Primary Air for combustion and Secondary Air for cooling and sealing (although some applications divert air from some of the compressor stages for sealing rather than use the higher Pcd pressure). ‘Spent’ Primary Air and air used for cooling then exits through the Turbine Section and through the Exhaust Assemblies to atmosphere. Air used for sealing should exit to atmosphere along with the oil in the bearing lube oil drains to the Lube Oil Reservoir and its vent. The following 3 diagrams show simplified points for temperature, pressure and basic principle of turbine operation.
Engine Temperature Station Schematic
Axial Flow Path
Axial Flow Compressor Axial Flow Compressors which are designed so that the flow of air is along the axis of the compressor shaft rather than radial to it, as in the Centrifugal type which is the other style sometimes used. An Axial Flow Compressor basically comprises two sections, a stationary casing and a rotor assembly which rotates inside the casing. The rotor assembly is constructed from a series of blades (“Rotor blades”) mounted radially on a shaft and arranged in rows, such that the effective area of each blade decreases from inlet to outlet. The casing bore also has a series of blades (“Stator blades”) mounted radial fashion and arranged in rows and like rotor blades the effective area of each blade decreases from inlet to outlet. The rotor is mounted inside the casing bore so that each of rotor blades is located next to a row of blades. A row of stator and adjacent rotor blades is called a”Stage”. The rotor is mounted on journal bearings at each end and thrust bearing

Nozzle Effect
Principle of Operation The diagrams above illustrate the principle of operation of an Axial Flow Compressor. The Rotor Assembly is driven by the turbine shaft and the Rotor Blades impart energy to the air by increasing its velocity. The Rotor Blades are arranged to force the air into the Stator stage that follows, where the blades are arranged to offer an increasing path for the air that enters. This causes the air velocity to decrease with a corresponding increase in pressure (and temperature). This process is repeated throughout each compressor stage.
Compressor Diffuser The Compressor Diffuser is located at the exit of the Compressor. The process of energy conversion continues in the Compressor Diffuser. The picture below shows the Diffuser attached to the Compressor exit and the air path is again expanding. This results in the air velocity again decreasing with a corresponding increase in the air pressure (and temperature). The greater air pressure in the Diffuser is known as “Pcd” (Pressure, Compressor Discharge.)
Primary Air The air used for combustion is known as Primary Air and usually accounts for about 25% of the total air required. It is mixed with the fuel used and the resultant fuel air mixture will burn if the proportions are suitable .It should be noted here that the routing of Primary Air varies between engine designs.
Cooling Air (Secondary Air) The majority of the air used in the engine is used for cooling. Firstly air is allowed to enter the combustor to contain the ‘Fireball’ and prevent it contacting the combustion liners. Additional air ensures complete combustion and also further cools the hot combustion gases before they enter the turbine inlet (T3). Air will also be directed onto or in some cases into various parts of the hotter sections of the engine particularly the turbine nozzles, and the turbine blades. The diagrams on this page show examples of Primary and Secondary Air in the Combustor.
System Function The engine air system, in addition to its main function of supporting combustion, also pressurises oil seals, cools turbine rotor blades and nozzles, assist in obtaining smooth engine operation by preventing surge conditions at critical speeds, and supplies control air for operation of the fuel control system. Air system supply is compressor discharge air pressure (Pcd). The air system starts to function with the rotation of the engine compressor rotor which draws in ambient air. The air is compressed and directed through the diffuser to the combustion chamber where fuel is injected and the combustible mixture is burned. This action transforms the air into a hot gas, which expands through the turbine, creating mechanical energy. The gas is expelled to atmosphere through the exhaust collector. The entire turbine cooling air is returned to the main gas stream in the turbine section. The seal air that leaks past the labyrinth seals travels through the engine oil drain lines and is vented from the main lube oil tank.
Sealing Air The engine incorporates three airpressurized labyrinth seals to prevent leakage of lube oil from the bearings. Compressor discharge pressure is routed by external air lines through orifices to the compressor rotor forward oil seal. Compressor diffuser air is metered through internal passages to the compressor rotor aft oil seal and gas producer turbine oil seal.
Turbine Cooling Air A portion of air from the compressor diffuser is used for cooling. The cooling air has an inner and outer primary flow path. The inner path is split at the inner shroud. One path flows between inner shroud and the combustor liner dome along the inner plates and between the inner cone and inner support. Small holes that ring the inner plates and cone provide a flow path for cooling air into the combustion chamber. The other inner path flows through holes in the inner shroud near the aft end of the compressor diffuser housing and fills a void between the shroud and the gas producer bearing support housing. The cooling air then flows through the first-stage diaphragm and preswirler.
The first-stage gas producer turbine uses cooling air that leaves the preswirler and flows into a void created by the forward rim seal attached to the first-stage rotor disc. Holes in the rim seal direct cooling air under the rotor blade assembly. Each blade has a three-pass internal convection cooling circuit that passes all cooling air up the leading edge, down the midchord passage, and then up and out the trailing edge holes. The outer cooling air path is split at the insulated outer shroud assembly. One path is along the combustor liner dome, past the torch igniter nozzle and along the outer plate and between the outer cone and outer support. Small holes that ring the outer plate and cone provide a flow path for cooling air into the combustion chamber. The cooling air duct assembly creates three separate concentric passages that surround the No. 3 bearing housing. Cooling air for the duct assembly, combustor, rotor disc and blades is directed from the compressor diffuser and flows through the duct assembly to the preswirler. The cooling air from the preswirler cools the leading edge of the firststage turbine rotor disc and the first-stage rotor blades. Leakage from the aft compressor hub (eleventh-stage) is the cooling air that is directed under the duct assembly. This air cools the No. 3 compressor bearing support housing, gas producer center-bolt, and rotor disc. The air that flows through passages in the gas producer turbine shaft is directed to the gas producer turbine rotor discs and center-bolt. The cooling air path is split between the radial holes in the aft hub of the first-stage and secondstage disc and the center bolt. The cooling air path in the rotor disc is metered to the forward face of the rotor discs by a labyrinth seal in the hub of each interstage nozzle diaphragm. Cooling air supplied from the area surrounding the convector (outer liner) passes through the nozzle support housing screen and is directed by an annular duct to the first-stage turbine nozzle. Cooling air that enters the hollow first-stage nozzles passes through the outer impingement plate installed on each nozzle segment, and exits through a number of metering holes in the trailing edges of each firststage nozzle vane.
Bleed Air Valve The Bleed Air Valve is designed to prevent engine surge during starting and acceleration and possible flameout if the load decreases suddenly. In split shaft engine arrangements it also assists in avoiding PT over-speed. During starting and acceleration, the bleed valve is opened to allow compressor exit airflow to bypass the combustor and turbine and go directly into the exhaust plenum. Bypassing the flow reduces backpressure on the compressor and avoids surge. The bleed valve assembly is located on the combustor case assembly. The valve assembly consists of a rotary actuator, trunnion valve, and valve actuator bracket. The rotary actuator is a single-acting, hydraulic piston with rack and pinion mechanism supported by the valve actuator bracket. Pressurization of one port closes the valve, pressurization of the other port opens the valve.
Bleed Valve Actuator Assembly
The
trunnion valve body is mounted between flanges on the combustor case assembly and the bleed valve exhaust duct. The duct directs compressor discharge pressure to the turbine exhaust diffuser. A flange at the stem packing gland supports the valve on the actuator bracket. The end of the stem is machined with a keyway and fits into the bleed valve.
Inlet Guide Vanes On larger engines the compressor design for full load, generally results in the bleed valve being insufficient to bleed enough air to prevent surge. To overcome this, the compressor efficiency is altered to suit the engine speeds.
Guide Vane System The system responds to corrected gas producer speed to change the angle of the inlet guide vane and the first,second,and third stage vanes to aerodynamically match the low pressure stages of the compressor with the high pressure stages. This change of vane position varies the effective angle at which the air flows past the rotor blades. By changing the position of the variable vanes, the critical low pressure stages are automatically realigned to maintain satisfactory air flow and compressor performance during all operating speeds. The variable vane system consists of a single row of variable Inlet Guide Vanes (IGVs) and three rows of Variable Stator Vanes (VSVs), and is controlled using the following: • Guide Vane Actuator Cylinder (CYL901) • Guide Vane Actuator Directional Control Valve (L339) Lube oil pressure supplied to Guide Vane Actuator Directional Control Valve (L339) actuates the Guide Vane Actuator Cylinder (CYL901). When valve L339 is energized to open by a signal from a discrete output module, oil pressure is directed through a metering orifice. The orifice regulates the flow rate to limit the actuator movement to about 5 seconds. When valve L339 is de-energized, oil is directed to the closing port. The oil that is displaced from the actuator bypasses the metering orifice as it passes through a check valve allowing a faster closing rate of about 2 seconds. The variable vanes are opened as a function of Gas Producer Speed (Ngp) corrected to 59_F (15_C). When accelerating the variable vanes will open at 90% corrected Ngp. When decelerating, the variable vanes will close at 90% corrected Ngp.
Engine Compressor Assembly The engine compressor assembly is a twelve-stage, axial-flow-type compressor incorporating the compressor case assembly, compressor rotor assembly and variable vanes. The compressor rotor forward cone is supported by the No. 1 tiltpad bearing in the air inlet assembly. The compressor rotor aft hub assembly is supported by the No. 2 tilt-pad bearing in the compressor diffuser assembly. The labyrinth seal attached to the aft compressor hub assembly forms the rotating component of the thrust balance seal. The compressor rotor aft hub assembly is connected to the gas producer rotor assembly. The compressor forward cone is connected to the accessory drive gear train. There are four stages of variable vanes located in the forward end of the compressor case. They are aerodynamic vanes that have a long machined shaft with two parallel flats near the top and a short shaft at the bottom. Outer bushings in the compressor case provide a bearing surface for the long vane shaft. Inner ring sets support the inner bushings to provide a bearing surface for the short shaft and a stationary seal for the air path. The four stages of variable vanes are Inlet Guide Vanes (IGVs), zero-, first-, and second-stage Variable Stator Vanes (VSVs).
Compressor Diffuser Assembly The forward end of the compressor diffuser assembly is bolted to the aft end of the compressor case. The diffuser assembly supports the No. 2 and No. 3 bearing support housings and thrust balance diaphragm. The diffuser housing incorporates the oil inlet, two oil drain ports, compressor discharge pressure taps, turbine cooling air pressure tap, and borescope access. The No. 2 bearing support housing incorporates the No. 2 tilt-pad bearing, thrust bearing, thrust balance diaphragm and the stationary components of the thrust balance seal. The No. 2 bearing supports the aft end of the compressor rotor. The thrust bearing is adjacent to the No. 2 bearing and it is the fixed-ramp type. The No. 3 bearing support housing incorporates the No. 3 tilt-pad bearing and supports the turbine rotor shaft.
Combustor and Gas Producer Turbine Assembly The combustor and gas producer turbine assembly includes the combustor assembly, fuel manifold assemblies, fuel injectors, bleed valve assembly, T5 thermocouples, and the gas producer turbine assembly. The combustor assembly includes an outer housing which bolts to the aft flange of the compressor diffuser assembly. The annular-type combustor liner is supported in the combustor housing by six combustor support pins located between the 12 fuel injectors. The torch igniter assembly, used only at combustion lightoff, has its own interruptible fuel supply and igniter plug and also contains the forward combustor drain. The bleed valve mounts to a combustor housing flange and is electrically controlled and hydraulically actuated. The combustor housing has an insulation blanket aft of the fuel injectors. Borescope access is through six ports near the forward end of the combustor housing which is used to inspect fuel injectors, combustor liner, and turbine section. One borescope access port, near the aft end of the combustor housing, enters into the second-stage nozzle and is used to inspect the first-stage and second-stage turbine rotor blades and secondstage nozzles. The T5 thermocouple ports are used to inspect the second-stage and thirdstage turbine rotor blades and nozzles. The fuel manifold assemblies include fuel injectors, fuel manifolds for gas fuel, liquid fuel, air assist, or water, as applicable, and the interconnecting lines. The fuel injectors mount radially in the combustor housing with the injector tips fitted into the combustor dome. actuator.
T5 THERMOCOUPLES The T5 Thermocouples (TC1 through TC6) are mounted around the combustor aft housing. The thermocouples protrude into the turbine nozzle area, where they sense the temperature of the thirdstage turbine inlet (T5).
Turbine Rotor Assembly The turbine rotor assembly consists of the turbine rotor shaft and three disc assemblies. The discs and turbine rotor shaft engage each other by radial face splines which transmit torque and keep the discs concentric to the center of the shaft. Radial face splines allow the disc to thermally expand radially. The entire assembly is secured by a thermo-stretched throughbolt. The first-stage turbine rotor blades are cooled by compressor air and fed at a controlled rate through the first-stage turbine nozzle support assembly to an annular slot (preswirler) that discharges onto the rotating blade roots. The air makes two passes through an internal passage in each blade and is discharged from a third chamber through a series of passages in the trailing edge and tip.
Turbine Nozzle Assembly The turbine nozzle assembly consists of the nozzle support housing, first-stage, second-stage, and third-stage turbine nozzle assemblies. The mounting flange of the nozzle support housing is pinned to the aft flange of the combustor housing for alignment and is cantilevered forward. The nozzle support housing is compressed between the aft flange of the combustor housing and the forward flange of the exhaust diffuser for rigid support. The nozzle support housing contains one borescope port hole and six T5 thermocouple ports. The housing supports the screen assembly and three stages of turbine nozzles. The first-stage nozzle assembly contains the first-stage nozzle segments and first-stage diaphragm assembly, which includes the preswirler, and the nozzle clamp ring. The first-stage nozzle segments are secured to the first-stage diaphragm assembly by a nozzle clamp ring. Each first-stage nozzle segment contains two aerodynamic vane segments and inserts. The throat of the nozzle segment directs hot exhaust gasses toward the first-stage disc assembly. Cooling air, which enters each aerodynamic vane segment, is directed by flow control inserts to internally cool the leading edge and air foil surfaces, and is then discharged through the trailing edge. The second- and third-stage turbine nozzles segments are pinned to their respective diaphragm assemblies which form a seal against the second- and third-stage disc assemblies to direct cooling air and control the exhaust gas path.
Turbine Exhaust Diffuser and Bellows Assembly The turbine exhaust diffuser and bellows assembly includes an inner and outer diffusing wall, seven radial struts supporting the center cylinder, and a bellows connected to the outlet V-band clamp. This assembly is bolted to the combustor housing aft flange. It is provided with a liquid drain. A flexible bellows section is incorporated in the turbine exhaust diffuser assembly as a standard feature. This bellows is designed to accommodate the engine thermal growth and up to 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) of external thermal growth when optional equipment such as an exhaust silencer, a heat recovery system, or other special exhaust ducting is used.
Engine Support The turbine engine is cantilevered aft from the forward flange of the air inlet housing, which is bolted to the reduction drive assembly. Additional rear support is provided by a steel pedestal attached to the combustor housing aft flange. The pedestal base rests on a vibration isolating pad located on the steel base crossmember below the combustor housing. The vibration pad is provided with load springs, adjustment bolts, and spacers, that in addition to serving as a resilient rear mount, also permit vertical and horizontal adjustments of the engine for purposes of alignment.
SECTION 6 – Cakerawala Generators ABB Generator driven by Taurus 60 The main driven system components are the Gear Unit and Generator which are connected together with a coupling. The Gear Unit is also designed to drive accessories and to accommodate the Starter Motor.
Reduction Drive Assembly Since the required input speed of the generator is lower than the output speed of the turbine, a reduction drive assembly is necessary. The reduction drive assembly is an epicyclic, high-speed, star-gear design used to reduce the drive speed from the turbine engine to the generator. The reduction drive assembly is designed for an output speed of 1500 rpm for 50 Hz service. The reduction drive assembly is located between the engine and the generator. It is bolted directly to the air inlet housing and the oil tank to provide a rigid support. For this reason, the reduction drive assembly does not require alignment with the engine. The firm attachment of the housing provides support to the forward end of the turbine engine. The reduction drive assembly case consists of a large housing, attached to the air inlet housing, and a smaller output shaft case.
Mounted on the reduction drive assembly is a magnetic pickup which counts the speed of the gear teeth and transmits a signal to the speed monitor control box in the control panel. Another magnetic pickup device directs a signal to the governor to control turbine speed.
The reduction drive assembly gear train is a compound star arrangement with three equally spaced star clusters. The power flows through the input pinion (sun gear) (5) into three first-stage star gears (6), through three second-stage pinion gears (7), and to the second-stage ring gear (4) on the output shaft (9). The input pinion assembly (5) is supported at one end by a ramp bearing mounted on an adapter on the gear carrier. The other end is supported by the three first-stage star gears (6). Pinion thrust loads are taken by a tapered land thrust bearing. The gear clusters have two sleeve bearings mounted inside their bores. The journal bearing is stationary and is mounted in the carrier to support the gear clusters. The second-stage ring gear (4) is mounted on a hub with a loose fitting spline, which allows the ring to center itself on the output shaft (9) through a fixed spline. A sprag-type one-way clutch is mounted on the starter gear shaft. The starter drives through the clutch. When the starter disengages, the sprags lift off the shaft and the clutch overruns continuously.
Each of the first-stage meshes in the power train is cooled and lubricated by three sets of two oil jets directed toward the sun gear between each pair of meshes. Each pinion in the second-stage is cooled and lubricated by two jets on the inboard side. Centrifugal force drives this oil into the ring gear teeth. It is then flung out at the open end of the ring and through holes at the inner end. Additional oil jets cool and lubricate the accessory pinion gear mesh, the output ball bearing, and the one-way clutch on the starter shaft. All other accessory gear meshes and bearings are lubricated by air-oil mist generated in the housing by the high speed meshes. The hydrodynamic ramp bearing and thrust bearing on the input pinion assembly and the sleeve bearings on the countershafts are pressure-fed with oil. Pressurized oil is provided by the externally mounted main lube oil pump.
Accessory Drive Assembly In addition to reducing the speed of the output shaft (Reduction Drive) the gear unit also incorporates the gearing to accommodate Accessory Drives. The only engine-driven accessory used is the Lube Oil Pump (P901) which is mounted on a Drive Pad. The other Drive Pads are not used and are ‘blanked’ by metal plates. Main Lube Oil Pump The Starter Motor (M922) is mounted onto a Starter Drive Adaptor which is then bolted to the Starter Drive Pad. Both the Starter Motor and Lube Oil Pump engage with Spur Gears and then with another spur gear which is attached via splines to the output shaft. The Starter Motor can drive through this gear and the Lube Oil Pump can be driven by it.

Introduction Electricity generation was first developed in the 1800's using Faradays dynamo generator. Almost 200 years later we are still using the same basic principles to generate electricity, only on a much larger scale. Electricity can be made or generated by moving a wire (conductor) through a magnetic field.
Magnetism A bar magnet has a north and south pole. If it is placed under a sheet of paper and iron filings are sprinkled over the top of the paper, these iron filings will arrange themselves into a pattern of lines that link the north pole with the south pole of the magnet (diagram 1). These lines show the magnetic field around the magnet. Diagram 1 Making electricity If a coil of wire is moved within a magnetic field so that it passes through the magnetic field, electrons in the wire are made to move (as in diagram 2). When the coil of wire is connected into an electric circuit (at the terminals A and a) the electrons are under pressure to move in a certain direction and a current will flow. This electrical pressure is called voltage. The amount of pressure or voltage depends on the strength and position of the magnetic field relative to the coil, as well as the speed at which the coil is turning. As the amount of electricity changes so does its voltage. Diagram 2
Diagram 3.1
Diagram 3.2
Diagram 3.3
Diagram 4 In the diagrams above, the coil of wire is rotating in a clockwise direction. When the coil of wire is in the horizontal position (3.3), the voltage is greatest (diagram 4) because the coil is passing through the strongest part of the magnetic field. At this stage the current flows from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4, out through terminal A, through the globe and back into terminal a. When the coil of wire is in the vertical position (3.2), no electricity is produced because the coil does not cut the magnetic field, and no current flows. When the coil of wire is in the horizontal position again (3.3), the voltage is at its maximum (diagram 3.3), however the current flows in the opposite direction 4 to 3 to 2 to 1, out through terminal a, through the globe, and back into terminal A.The current produced changes direction every half turn (180 degrees). This is called alternating current or AC. The generators at large power stations produce nearly all the electricity we use in this way.
Power Stations Generators With large power station generators, the coils actually remain stationary, and the magnetic field rotates. This still produces the same effect as described above. The magnet rotates as the turbine to which it is attached rotates. When only one of the coils of wire is connected in the stationary part of the generator (known as the stator), the electricity circuit is said to be one phase (or one circuit). Diagram 5.1 shows what a rectangular coil or winding may look like. It is mounted inside the stator as in diagram 5.2 and has terminals A and a. When the magnet rotates the voltage is produced as shown in diagram 5.3.
Diagram 5.1
Diagram 5.2
Diagram 5.3
Diagram 5.4
Diagram 5.5 It is more cost efficient and technically better to connect three sets of coils in the stator. Diagram 5.4 shows how these coils are mounted. Each of these coils will be connected as separate electrical circuits. When the magnet rotates an identical voltage is produced in each coil and circuit, but each is staggered or delayed from one another (diagram 5.5). The electricity circuit is said to be three phase. Relative Motion between conductor and magnetic field (Condition 3 above), will result in a similar effect if the conductor is stationary and the magnetic field ‘moves’. In practice the generator output voltage and current will be high and require good connections between the ‘conductors’ and the load circuit cables to minimise resistance and losses and therefore the generation of heat. These results in the conductors being stationary and the magnetic field being rotated in practical generators. The following diagrams will examine the construction and operating principles of a typical generator. The turbine is called the prime mover and the shaft, magnet and copper windings make up the alternator. An alternator consists of a rotor and a stator. The rotor is directly connected to the prime mover and rotates as the prime mover turns. The rotor contains a magnet that, when turned, produces a moving or rotating magnetic field. The rotor is surrounded by a stationary casing called the stator, which contains the wound copper coils or windings. When the moving magnetic field passes by these windings, electricity is produced in them. By controlling the speed at which the rotor is turned, a steady flow of electricity is produced in the windings. These windings are connected to the electricity network. The structure of the alternator usually stays the same regardless of the type of energy being used to produce electricity. The prime mover can be a turbine driven by steam, water, wind or burning gases. The prime mover can also be an engine (like a car engine) that uses fuel to turn the generator.

The diagram above shows that the generator rotor shaft is supported by bearings at the Drive and Non-Drive ends and is rotated by the torque transmitted from the engine through the gear unit and coupling. Attached to the rotor shaft is a fan and the rotor which is located within the stator casing so that it aligns with the stator windings. Also attached to the rotor shaft are the rectifier, exciter armature and the PMG (Permanent Magnet Generator). There will be interconnecting conductors between the rotor, rectifier and the exciter armature, shown above as . The following descriptions have been taken from the Installation and Maintenance Manual.
Functional Discription During generator set operation, the three-phase ac power generated in the exciter armature is applied to the rectifier where it is converted to direct current power. The dc output from the rotating rectifier is then applied as field excitation current to the generator rotating field coils. It should be noted that, with this arrangement, the main generator field coils rotate and its armature is stationary, while the exciter field is stationary but its armature rotates with the main generator rotor shaft. As a result, a single rotating assembly, consisting of exciter armature, exciter rectifier, and main generator field coils is formed, greatly simplifying all electrical connections within the generator assembly. A sensing transformer supplies the bus potential signal to the regulator. The main generator output is controlled by the generator field current. The generator field current is in turn controlled by the brushless exciter circuit. The power transformer through the regulator, furnishes the excitation to the exciter field. Variations in bus potential, then, will be sensed and subsequently corrected by this circuit.
All ac generators require that direct current (excitation) be applied to the rotor windings (field coils) in order to set up the magnetic flux necessary for generator operation. Because the amount of dc current going into the field of the exciter will determine the output voltage of the exciter, the exciter output, being applied to the generator field, will therefore control the output voltage of the main generator. Upon proper voltage buildup, the generator accelerates to 100 percent speed and excitation and voltage control are assumed by the voltage regulator. A crosscurrent-compensating transformer provides the proper signals to the regulator to accommodate reactive loadsharing between multiple units in parallel.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS Rotor The rotor is dynamically balanced so that the degree of dynamic imbalance provides minimum vibration. Efficient rotor fans move air through the generator and around the rotor for cooling. The rotors have layer-wound field windings, which are then cemented with a highstrength resin and baked. The rotor is in electrical and mechanical balance at all speeds, up to 125 percent of rated speed.
Stator The stator is built with high-grade silicon steel laminations, which are precision punched and individually insulated. Windings, form-wound in lined slots, are repeatedly treated with thermosetting synthetic varnish and baked for maximum moisture resistance, high dielectric strength, and high bonding qualities. The windings are also braced to withstand shock loads such as motor starting and short circuits. Space heaters can be supplied to minimize condensation during shutdowns.
Shaft The shaft diameter is sufficient to provide the stiffness necessary to preclude torsional problems.
Frame The frame is heavy-duty steel, fabricated with deep welds and internal reinforcing for extra rigidity and strength. Lifting lugs are provided.
Exciter Excitation current for the generator field coils is provided by a brushless rotating exciter unit with permanent magnet generator (PMG) pilot exciter. The generator is a synchronous, three-phase, alternating current generator with rotating field coils, and the exciter unit is mounted directly on the generator rotor shaft. The exciter unit consists of two basic parts, a small three-phase, ac generator with rotating armature, and a three-phase, full-wave, diode-type bridge rectifier portion that rotates together with the armature. The pilot exciter is a permanent magnet generator that rotates with the main generator rotor shaft. It feeds the exciter field windings with excitation current through the voltage regulator. Since the exciter unit itself also requires dc current for excitation of its own stationary field coils, this is furnished by a pilot exciter which is simply a PMG that is mounted on and rotates together with the main rotor shaft. It will be apparent that when starting the generator set, little or no direct current will be available for excitation of either the main generator or the exciter fields, were it not for the action of the PMG pilot exciter.
Permanent Magnet Generator Field Rotating Rectifier Assembly
Exciter Armature
Voltage regulator The control of the arrangement is undertaken by the Voltage Regulator. As most are able to control the generator automatically, they are known as Automatic Voltage Regulators, or “AVR s”. The schematic on the previous page shows that the AVR is powered by voltage from the PMG. On GT7300 & GT7400 power to the AVR will be available once K261 is energised (represented by “Contacts close at 65%NGP”). Power is basically available if no over-voltage condition exists and Ngp is > 80%. The AVR is set to allow the generator to generate voltage of an amplitude which is determined by the controls at the setup stage (Voltage Adjust Potentiometer in the schematic).This is achieved by the AVR controlling the amount of DC current sent to the exciter field windings. The actual generator output voltage is sensed by the AVR and this forms the ‘feedback’ for the AVR control algorithm to compare with the desired set voltage. If it is too high the field current output to the exciter field will be reduced. If it is too low the exciter field current will be increased. The output current is also sensed to allow load sharing with other generators to be achieved. Although the frequency of the generator output voltage is largely determined by the rotational speed of the rotor, which will be set and controlled by the prime mover, the frequency is also monitored by the AVR to alter the control voltage characteristics as the frequency changes. Additional protection is afforded by monitoring the current output to the exciter field for over current and also over voltage at the generator output as well as loss of sense voltage. Over temperature operation of the AVR will result in the AVR automatically turning itself off. The AVR will need to be set to control the generator output voltage by a control scheme which will differ if it is required to operate in parallel (load share) with other machines. If a generator is operating alone ISOCH should be set for Voltage Control mode on S260. If either generator is to be paralleled with other generators, DROOP mode should be selected for Voltage Control mode on S260-1. The speed (frequency) should in both cases be set to ISOCH on SPD ISOCH/SPD DROOP Switch (S/DS191).
Typical Electrical Schematic The following drawing shows the overall electrical arrangement of a typical generator and how the Voltage Regulator is used to monitor the output voltage and current and alter the exciter field current to suit the required generator output. As can be seen it is supplied with power from the Permanent Magnet Generator and sences generator output voltage and current and alters the exciter field current to suit.
Coupling The rotational torque to drive the generator is transmitted from the engine through the gear unit and then to the generator by connecting the gear unit output shaft to the generator rotor shaft with a coupling. The coupling is designed to allow transmission of power only within certain limits. Firstly, it is important to ensure that the alignment of the two shafts is within allowable limits of ‘runout’. This will ensure that not only is the coupling not exposed to excessive stress, but will ensure that the shaft bearings are not adversely loaded and that vibration will be minimised. Although the design will allow some mis-alignment to be accommodated and this is achieved by the use of ‘disc packs’, whatever method is used, must be in a suitable condition for use. ‘Disc packs’ are normally made from thin steel sheets with the appropriate profile and holes formed on each sheet. The sheets are then riveted together to form a laminated ‘spacer’, which is then installed in the coupling assembly, by bolts which pass through the rivets. Misalignment is accommodated by the sheets ‘flexing’ slightly. Care should therefore be taken to ensure that the ‘disc packs’ sheets are not excessively cracked and that they are clean. Ingress of dirt, etc between the sheets can cause abrasive wear and also possibly imbalance. Secondly, to protect the engine and gear unit as well as the generator from potentially damaging operating conditions, the coupling is also designed to ‘shear’ if subjected to excessive torsional forces. These could arise if the generator was subjected to a massive overload or more commonly, if the generator was attempted to be synchronised ‘Out of phase’ with the output bus. The shear elements (basically mechanical ‘fuses’) are usually specially machined bolts or pins which connect the coupling ‘halves’ together, but are designed to shear (break) if the load they are transmitting becomes too great. This then allows the engine to continue to drive the gear unit and the part of the coupling connected to the gear unit output shaft, but the generator will no longer be driven by the engine.
Flexible Coupling These couplings eliminate the need for lubrication. However, lube oil may be present in the shaft cover. Hubs are attached to the rotating equipment with splines and / or interference fit pilots. The flexing of the coupling is accommodated through the use of flexible disks in a plane perpendicular to the shaft centre line.

SECTION 7 – Cakerawala Gas Turbine Turbotronic Control Ststem General Discription The Turbotronic™ Control System operates the turbomachinery package and its subsystems. The system generates electronic control signals to start, stop, load, and unload the turbomachinery, manually or automatically, from a local or remote location. Control system functions are: • • • •
Sequence Control Protect Display
This chapter describes control system operation.
Functional Discription The control system is microprocessor-based and customized for each application using a combination of input and output (I/O) modules. The system controls scanning, monitoring, and reception of data. Data is processed in the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and sent to output modules for transmittal to package control elements. The control panel is electrical switch-based, allows command input, and indicates status. The turbine package includes instrumentation to report operating conditions to the control system and control devices to receive control output from primary or backup control systems. Control elements are primarily electrical, electromechanical, and electrohydromechanical devices controlled by the PLC.
Sequence Sequencing functions control logic elements in the control system. Logic elements are (on/off, open/close, start/stop, yes/no) events associated with switches, solenoids, relays, and comparator devices. Sequencing monitors and senses events, and carries out computations to operate components in the system. Examples of sequencing elements include: • Start • Load • Stop • Postlube
Start Manual actions to start the turbomachinery are: • Arm the system • Reset malfunctions • Select operating mode • Initiate start After start is manually initiated, the system accomplishes the following: • Purge crank • Lightoff • Starter dropout • Lubrication check
Load The load function maintains operating speed, loads the generator and transfers to steady state control.[RUNNING] is highlighted on the operation summary screen. When the engine reaches 90 percent speed, the ready to load timer starts to time. When the ready to load timer times out, the READY-TO-LOAD light illuminates. When [READY TO LOAD] is displayed on the operation summary screen, the generator can be connected to the load bus by closing the generator circuit breaker. The circuit breaker can be closed to a dead bus or a hot bus. When a dead bus is sensed, the circuit may be manually closed. When a hot bus is sensed, the generator is synchronized to the load bus before closing the circuit breaker. The voltage is matched to minimize flow of circulating current between the generators. The frequency is matched to minimize initial loading and allow phase matching (synchronization). Phase is synchronized to allow safe closing of the circuit breaker. Closing the circuit breaker when the generator and load bus are out-of-phase can cause equipment damage, and is not permitted by the control system.
Synchronization Before the generator circuit breaker can be closed to the load or tie bus, the generator frequency, voltage, and phase must be synchronized to the bus. The operator can manually synchronize the generator to the load or tie bus, or the control system can automatically perform the synchronization process. This process includes matching of the generator and load or tie bus voltage, frequency, and phase. To synchronize automatically, AUTOMATIC SYNCHRONIZE INITIATE is selected. The auto synchronization fail timer starts timing and an AUTO SYNCH indication is displayed. The automatic synchronizer matches the generator frequency, voltage, and phase to the load or ties bus and closes the generator circuit breaker. When automatic synchronization is complete and the synchronization check relay monitor permissive is closed, the circuit breaker closes and connects the generator to the load bus. Indicators operate as described under dead bus. If the generator circuit breaker does not close before the auto synchronization fail timer times out, the generator circuit breaker lockout relay is activated. The automatic synchronization function is deenergized. The auto synch selection highlight is extinguished and the Auto Sync Fail alarm is annunciated on the display screen.
Stop Turbine shutdown can be manual or automatic with either a cooldown or fast stop.
Cooldown stop Unloads the generator by reducing engine operating speed to idle, and starts the cooldown timer (5 minitues). If a start is re-initiated during the cooldown stop, the shutdown is aborted. A start can be re-initiated during the cooldown period by pressing :- acknowledge, reset and start.
Fast stop Unloads the gas compressor, (or generator) closes the fuel shutoff valves and stops the turbine without a cooldown period
Manual shutdown Is initiated by either activating the stop switch or the emergency stop switch. The stop switch provides a cooldown stop and the emergency stop switch provides a fast stop. The gas compressor is unloaded once a stop is initiated. For a normal and/or station shutdown, compressor (or generator) load should be reduced before initiating a stop. When the gas compressor(or generator) is under a load and a malfunction occurs, the control system unloads the compressor(or generator) and shuts off fuel to the turbine. The control system provides both a cooldown stop (lockout or nonlockout) and a fast stop (lockout or nonlockout).
Emergency Stop The Emergency Shutdown (ESD) is initiated by detection of a fire, backup overspeed system failure, PLC failure, or the operator pressing the ESD switch. The ESD stop unloads the gas compressor (or generator), closes the fuel shutoff valves and stops the turbine without a cooldown period. Lube oil control for turbine rundown and postlube is controlled by the backup relay system. If an ESD stop has been initiated, the backup system must be reset with the BACKUP RESET keyswitch and by pressing the ACKNOWLEDGE and RESET switches prior to restart.
Postlube As the engine slows, the engine driven lube oil pump pressure decreases and the ac lube pump starts. If the ac lube oil pump fails to provide minimum pressure, the backup pump is started.
Control The control function monitors and regulates process variables such as speed, pressure, and temperature. The function controls transient response to load changes and controls actuators during start, stop, and load.
Fuel Control Turbine fuel flow control regulates pressure and fuel flow. Fuel flow is controlled by regulating the electronic fuel control valve. The fuel system establishes the fuel flow range by regulating fuel supply pressure and flow. Fuel pressure is regulated to a value greater than Pcd between maximum and minimum valve positions. The control system positions the electronic fuel control valve and regulates fuel flow to regulate engine speed, power, and T5 temperature during lightoff, acceleration, steady state, and transient load conditions.
Bleed Valve Bleed valve position control regulates Pcd by routing airflow to the exhaust, bypassing combustor and turbine. During start and acceleration, the bleed valve avoids engine surge. During start and acceleration, the bleed valve is opened to allow airflow to bypass combustor and turbine . An open bleed valve reduces turbine compressor back pressure and avoids engine surge, the bleed valve position is determined as a function of kilowatt load.
Guide Vane System Airflow through the turbine compressor is regulated by controlling angular position of variable geometry inlet guide vanes. Guide vanes maximize gas turbine compressor performance and avoid surge during start and acceleration. During start and acceleration, guide vane position is determined by engine speed.
Protect The protect function monitors operating conditions, compares to limits, identifies when a limit is exceeded, annunciates the fault, and initiates a stop if the fault is a shutdown-type malfunction. A backup relay system protects in the event of PLC failure, fire, power turbine overspeed, or a manual emergency stop.
Malfunction Alarm The alarm task detects when a condition changes from normal to a level of concern. It annunciates the problem to communicate that corrective action is required.
Malfunction Shutdown The shutdown task detects when a danger level is reached, or a major malfunction occurs. Shutdowns are one of four types:1. Cooldown Stop Nonlockout 2. Cooldown Stop Lockout 3. Fast Stop Nonlockout 4. Fast Stop Lockout
CN CL FN FL
Fast Stop Vs Cooldown Stop The cooldown stop unloads the gas compressor(or generator) and allows the engine to idle for a cooldown period of 10 minutes before shutting off fuel. A start can be re-initiated during the cooldown period by pressing :- acknowledge, reset and start. The malfunction fast stop immediately shuts off fuel and unloads the compressor(or generator). . A start can not be re-initiated
Lockout Vs Nonlockout Malfunctions The lockout malfunction inhibits control system operation. The control system cannot initiate a start until the malfunction is reset. Nonlockout malfunctions typically result from an operation disruption or an abnormal condition. Nonlockout malfunctions can be reset when conditions return to normal. Lockout-type malfunctions are generally more severe and require attention before the system can be restarted.
Cooldown Stop Nonlockout Cooldown stop nonlockouts include normal stops as well as stops responding to alarms not serious enough to cause immediate damage. Some of these conditions require corrective action before resuming operation. These conditions include reaching temperature and pressure limits with lube oil, air filter, gas compressor suction and discharge lines or a failure to load. A start can be re-initiated during the cooldown period by pressing :- acknowledge, reset and start.
Cooldown Stop lockout Cooldown stop lockouts respond to conditions that may not exceed shutdown levels but indicate a component has failed. Coold own stop locko ut malfu nctio ns includ e sens or (RTD , thermocouple, etc.) failure and a lube oil tank pressure or temperature limit being reached.
Fast Stop Nonlockout Fast stop nonlockouts respond to conditions that can cause damage if operation continues. The conditions are caused by a momentary disturbance in the system or an occasional sequencing related malfunction.
Fast Stop Lockout Fast stop lockouts respond to conditions that can cause serious damage if operation continues. Investigation for damage is required. Corrective action may be required before restart.
Backup Active Shutdown The backup active shutdown is enabled if there is a microprocessor failure, fire, backup overspeed, or manually initiated Emergency Shutdown (ESD). The system immediately shuts off fuel, opens yard valves to eliminate compressor load,(or unloads generator) and controls lubrication oil for engine roll down and post lube. After a backup active shutdown, the backup system must be reset with the BACKUP RESET keyswitch. The ACKNOWLEDGE and RESET switches must be pressed before the package can be restarted.
Microprocessor Fail When microprocessor failure is detected, a fast stop is initiated and backup control is activated.
Manual Emergency Stop The manual emergency stop is initiated by depressing the local, remote, or skid-mounted emergency stop switch. When the stop is initiated, the start/run latch in the microprocessor is reset and the fast stop latch in the backup control is set.
Fire Detected When fire is detected, the backup system immediately sets the fast stop latch in backup control and the shutdown sequence proceeds as with the manual emergency stop except enclosure fans, if present, are stopped, and lube continues for engine rolldown, is stopped for 20 minutes, and, if the PLC is functioning after the 20 minute hold, a postlube cycle is completed.
Turbine Backup Overspeed The turbine overspeed malfunction is sensed by the backup overspeed detection module. The magnetic pickup speed sensor is independent from primary control sensor.
