1.1 GENERAL
This manual has been prepared primarily for gas turbine operators and service
personnel and provides three essentials: operation, maintenance and parts in-
formation for the gas turbine package power plant. A distribution of text revi-
sions when necessitated will be made to all recipients of the service manual.
The package power plant, as furnished for this installation, is comprised of the
single-shaft, heavy-duty gas turbine unit driving a synchronous generator, its
auxiliary equipment, required control equipment and those off-base auxiliaries
that are essential to overall operation.
Basically, the power plant requires only fuel and fuel connections, generator
breaker connections and a source of ac power to become operational.
Fuel and air are used by the gas turbine unit to produce the shaft horsepower
necessary to drive certain accessories and ultimately the driven load generator.
The turbine unit is composed of an axial-flow compressor, a multi-stage tur-
bine, support systems, combustion system components, and a starting device.
Both compressor and turbine are directly connected as an in-line, single-shaft
rotor supported by pressure lubricated bearings. The inlet end of the rotor shaft
is coupled to an accessory gear having integral shafts that normally drives the
main hydraulic pump, main lubrication pump, and may drive other system
pumps as required for a given installation.
At this installation, lagged compartments are provided and enclose the acces-
sory components, the gas turbine unit, the load gear, the driven generator, and
the generator auxiliaries and switch gear. The in-line sequence of compart-
ments is broken by an inlet plenum between the accessory and turbine com-
partments and an exhaust plenum located between the turbine and generator
compartments. (Inlet and exhaust plenums are on the turbine base and are con-
sidered part of the turbine compartment).
Walkways, having access ladders and removable grating panels, are placed on
each side of the power plant extending from the control enclosure to the ex-
haust plenum.

• Air inlet
• Compressor
• Combustion system
• Turbine
• Exhaust
• Support Systems
Throughout this manual, reference is made to the forward and aft ends, and to
the right and left sides of the gas turbine and its components. By definition, the
air inlet of the gas turbine is the forward end, while the exhaust stack is the aft
end. The forward and aft ends of each component are determined in like man-
ner with respect to its orientation within the complete unit. The right and left
sides of the turbine or of a particular component are determined by standing in
line with the compressor and looking aft or downstream.
The gas path is the path by which gases flow through the gas turbine from the
air inlet through the compressor, combustion section and turbine, to the turbine
exhaust (see Figures 2-1 and 2-2).
When the turbine starting system is actuated and the clutch is engaged, ambient
air is drawn through the air inlet plenum assembly, filtered and compressed in
the axial-flow compressor. For pulsation protection during startup, the
10th-stage extraction valves are open and variable inlet guide vanes are in the
low flow startup position.
When the starting system has accelerated the rotor to ignition speed, the spark
plugs are energized and fuel is turned on. In the case of liquid fuel, equal
amounts are distributed to each combustor by an external flow divider. In the
case of gaseous fuel, the gas metering holes in the fuel nozzles control the dis-
tribution. The resulting fuel/air mixture is ignited in the chambers containing
spark plugs and flame propagates through the crossfire tubes to the rest of the
combustors. When all chambers are lit, as indicated by the flame detectors, the
startup sequence continues.
When the high-speed relay actuates at 95 percent speed, the 10th-stage extrac-
tion bleed valve closes automatically and the variable inlet guide vane actuator
energizes to open the inlet guide vanes to the normal turbine operating posi-
tion. Air from the compressor flows into the annular spaces between the outer
combustion casings and the combustion liners, and enters the combustion zone
through the combustion liners.
The hot gases from the combustion chambers flow through the ten separate
transition pieces. The gases then enter the two-stage turbine section of the ma-
chine. Both stages consist of a row of fixed nozzles followed by a row of rotat-
ing turbine buckets. In each nozzle row, the kinetic energy of the jet is in-
creased, with an associated pressure drop. In the following row of moving
buckets, a portion of the kinetic energy of the jet is absorbed as useful work on
the turbine rotor.
After passing through the 2nd-stage buckets, the gases are directed into the ex-
haust hood and diffuser which contain a series of turning vanes to turn the
gases from an axial direction to a radial direction, to minimize exhaust hood
losses. The gases then pass into the exhaust plenum and are introduced to at-
mosphere through the exhaust stack.
Resultant shaft rotation is used either to turn a generator rotor for electrical
power production, or to drive a centrifugal compressor in industrial process
applications.

Fabricated supports and mounting pads are welded to the upper surface of the
base for mounting the above equipment and other accessory components. Lift-
ing trunnions are provided on the sides of the base longitudinal I-beams to fa-
cilitate lifting and positioning the base assembly. Mounting pads are located on
the bottom surface of the I-beams for mounting of the base to the foundation.
The base upon which the gas turbine is mounted is a structural-steel fabrica-
tion. An oil dram channel is constructed along the web of the left longitudinal
I-beam. This channel extends from the oil tank to the aft end of the base, pro-
viding a passage for the lube oil feed header. The header carries lube oil to the
#2 bearing, load coupling, and driven equipment. Lube oil feed and dram con-
nections are made at the aft end of this dram channel, within a fabricated en-
closure. Finished pads on the bottom of the base facilitate its mounting on the
site foundation sub-sole plates.
The forward end of the gas turbine is supported by a flexible plate that is
bolted on N, P models to the base and bolted and dowelled to the air inlet cas-
ing. On each side of the turbine shell is a rigid support leg which is close-fitted
on a support trunnion. These supports maintain the axial location of the turbine
while the gib key maintains the lateral location.
A gib key is machined on the lower half of the turbine shell and is fitted and
bolted securely into a guide block which is welded to the turbine base. This ar-
rangement prevents lateral or rotational movement of the turbine, and also per-
mits radial movement due to thermal expansion.

GENERAL 4.1
4. COMPRESSOR SECTION
4.1 GENERAL
The axial-flow compressor section consists of the compressor rotor and casing
(Figure 4-1), variable inlet guide vanes, and two rows of exit guide vanes.
In the compressor, air is confined to the space between the rotor and stator
where it is compressed in stages by an alternate series of rotating (rotor) and
stationary (stator) air-foil shaped blades. Rotor blades supply the force needed
to compress the air in each stage and the stator blades guide the air so that it
enters the following rotor stage at the proper angle. The compressed air exits
through the compressor discharge casing to the combustion chambers. Air is
also extracted from the compressor for turbine cooling and for bearing lube oil
sealing.
Each wheel and the wheel portion of the forward stub shaft has broached slots
around its periphery. Rotor blades are inserted into these slots and held in axial
position by spacer pieces which are in turn staked at each end of the slot. These
blades are airfoil shaped and are designed to compress air efficiently at high
blade tip velocities. The wheels and stub shafts are assembled to each other
with mating rabbets for concentricity control and are held together with tie
bolts. Selective positioning of the wheels is made during assembly to reduce
balance correction. After assembly, the rotor is dynamically balanced.
The forward stub shaft is machined to provide the thrust collar which carries
the forward and aft thrust loads, the journal for the No. 1 bearing, the sealing
surface for the No. 1 bearing oil seals as well as the compressor low-pressure
air seal.
4.2.1 Stator
The stator assembly encloses the compressor and turbine sections and is made
up of the inlet, forward, aft and discharge casings. All of these casings are split
horizontally to facilitate servicing.
The inlet section directs the flow of outside air from the air inlet equipment
into the compressor blading. This section contains the inlet guide vane assem-
bly, the No. 1 bearing assembly and the low pressure air seals. On Models N,
P, and some R compressors, the inlet guide vane angle can be adjusted by the
control system (see Fig. 4-2).
The forward section of the compressor casing is downstream of the inlet sec-
tion. It contains the stator blading for stages 0 through 3. Bleed air from the 4th
rotor stage (between the 3rd and 4th stator stages) can be extracted through
four ports which are located about the aft section of the compressor casing.
The aft section, downstream of the forward section, contains the stator blading
for stages 4 through 9. Bleed air from the 10th rotor stage (between the 9th and
10th stator stages) can be extracted through four ports which are located in ax-
ial alignment with the ports used for 4th stage air extraction.
The discharge section of the compressor casing, downstream of the aft section,
contains the stator blading for stages 10 through 16, and exit guide vane stages
1 and 2. A radially enlarged (bulkhead) portion of this section provides the
mounting surface for the combustion chambers. Ten airfoil-shaped support
struts are spaced equidistant about the shaft surface of the bulkhead and angle
inward to support the inner case assembly (inner barrel). The space, between
the forward portion of the inner barrel and the discharge section outer shell,
forms an annular air path that the high pressure air passes through to enter the
combustion section. This area is designed to decelerate the air flow and in-
crease the static pressure of the combustion air supply (see Fig. 4-3 and 4-4).
4.2.6 Blading
From the “0” through 7th stage, the stator blades have dovetail-shaped bases
that fit into semi-circular rings that fit in “T”-shaped grooves in the casing
wall. From the 8th stage aft, the stator blades have rectangular bases that fit
into “T”-shaped grooves in the compressor casing wail. Locking keys prevent
rotation of the blades. The rotor blades have dovetailed bases of a wide angle
design which fit into the matching dovetail slots in the wheel rims. The rotor
blades are peened in place.
The variable inlet guide vanes (in conjunction with 10th stage air extraction)
permit fast, smooth acceleration of the turbine without compressor surge (pul-
sation). A hydraulic cylinder, mounted on a base cross member, actuates the
inlet guide vanes through a large ring gear and multiple small pinion gears. On
the gas turbines that do not have variable inlet guide vanes, a stationary ring of
inlet guide vanes is located at this stage.

GENERAL 5.1
5.1 GENERAL
The combustion system is the revers flow type including 1 combustion cham-
bers, arranged around the peripheral zone of the axial compressor discharge ca-
sing.
The manufacturing features and the components’ material of the “DNL” sys-
tem are similar to those of the standard system.
In fact, liner cooling is made using the same methods as the standard system,
that is with the combination of “impingnment” and “film cooling”.
Gas pipes do not differ (for manufacturing features, material) from those of the
standard system.
The use of rigid or flexible pipes and their path depends on the room available
and on access and maintenance requirements of the combustion zones.
DNL system components are designed to have a life equal to that of standard
systems. This is improved by the fact that DNL systems have a more uniform
distribution of the temperature of exhaust gas and with temperature peaks lo-
wer than in the standard system. However, during the first period of operation,
a higher frequency of the inspections in the combustion section is expected as
precautionary measure.
The combustor is of the two stages/premix type designed for natural gas and
able to work, in the two-stage configuration, with gas with high hydrogen
content.
The combustor includes the following four main components:
Fuel injection system (nozzles, etc.)
Liner
Venturi (Reduced section)
Central body (supporting the secondary burner).
These components are arranged so as to form two stages.
The first stage consists of 5 burners (primary) arranged in a ring, it is followed
by a first (lean) combustion zone that, above 40% of the load, becomes com-
bustion gas/air premix zone, thus without combustion.
In this operation mode, in the first stage, air and fuel are mixed so as to make a
lean and uniform mixture feeding the second stage.
The second stage consists of a central burner (secondary) having a (lean) mix-
ture combustion zone downstream. Similarly to standard combustion cham-
bers, this is followed by a diluition zone.
Venturi reduction avoids backfire in the premix zone when the system works in
the premix mode (above 40% of the load with flame in the zone where the se-
condary burner works only.).
During operation with natural gas, the DNL system works in four different
modes, as shown in Fig. 5-3:
Load Range
During gas starting and load outlet up to 20%, the 5 primary burners work on-
ly.
Between 20% and 40% of the load, also the secondary burner works, to which
approx. 30% of the fuel flows.
When the machine reaches 40% of the load, during a period of transient opera-
tion, the control system eliminates for a few seconds the flow of the combus-
tion gas to the primary burners causing the flame extinction (of course the
flame is not estinguished in the secondary burner). Immediately after, the
control system lets the fuel in the primary burners becoming simple ejectors on
the premix zone.
Thanks to the Venturi reduction, the flame cannot go back and this zone re-
mains a premix zone between 40% and 100% of the load (with bleed heating
system presetting). In this last operation phase the distribution of the combus-
tion gas is equal to approx. 83% of the capacity to the premix and to 17% to
the secondary burner, therefore, the combustion occurs with very low tempera-
ture peaks inside the flame and with very short “stay times”, so that NOx pro-
duction is strongly limited.
Arrangement and type of spark plugs and flame detectors of the DLN system
are different from the standard system.
Differently from the standard system, the spark plugs are of the non-retractable
type, because ignition it is not only necessary during starting but also on load
(e.g.: when restarting passing from premix operation to lean/lean stage opera-
tion).
Flame detectors are positioned in both the first stage of some combustion
chambers and the central body (supporting the secondary burner) in order to
monitor the second stage.
Crossfire tubes interconnect the primary zones (first stage) of the adjacent
combustion chambers, because the flame ignition occurs in this zone.
An operation with peak load is possible with a power value 3% higher than the
base value.
The gas turbine with “DLN” system is able to bear the complete load release
(opening of machine switch) operating a “full speed-no load”.
Two spark plugs placed in different combustion chambers are used to ignite the
fuel in the heater primary zone. These two spark plugs are activated during
starting to ignite the fuel and during certain changes of DLNx-1 phases reques-
ting the re-ignition of the primary combustion zone. The flame is propagate in
the combustion chambers not equipped with spark plugs by means of flow
sleeves interconnecting the primary zones of the adjacent combustion cham-
bers around the gas turbine. The flame is introduced in the secondary zone of
the combustion chambers igniting the fuel second capacity coming from the
primary zone.
TURBINE SECTION

GENERAL 6.1
6. TURBINE SECTION
6.1 GENERAL
In the turbine section, high temperature gases from the combustion section are
converted to aft horse-power. The power required to drive the load package
and the compressor is provided by the two-stage turbine rotor. The first-stage,
or high pressure wheel, and the second-stage, or low pressure wheel, are bolted
together to make up a single unit through which the first and second stage noz-
zles direct the flow of combustion gases. These components, with associated
air seals and deflectors, are contained within the turbine shell.
The forward section of the turbine shell forms the casing for the aft end of the
compressor discharge and combustion sections. The aft section of the turbine
shell forms the casing for the first and second-stage nozzles and the shrouds for
the first and second-stage turbine rotors.
Compressor fourth-stage extraction air is piped to cool the shell and then dis-
charged at the aft end of the shell to cool the aft surface of the second-stage
turbine wheel.
The nozzle ring and partitions are cooled by compressor discharge air which is
bled from the combustion chamber transition space. The nozzle partitions are
hollow with bleed holes drilled in the trailing edge for cooling. The cooling air
circulates about the sidewalls of the retaining ring into the hollow nozzle parti-
tions and out the bleed holes into the gas path.
The design of the nozzle supporting arrangement permits removal of the lower
half of the nozzle assembly without removing the rotor assembly.
The second stage nozzle and diaphragm assembly is located between the first
and second stage turbine wheels. The assembly has hollow airfoil-shaped parti-
tions between an inner and outer sidewall which direct the gas flow into the
second stage turbine buckets. The nozzle assembly is divided into segments,
with segments fixed and located in tongue and groove fits in the first and sec-
ond stage turbine stator shrouds. The nozzle segments are spaced and located
circumferentially by locating pins through the turbine shell that engage the
outer sidewall of the segments.
The diaphragm assembly extends inward from the nozzle inner sidewall to the
turbine rotor and divides the space between the two wheels into the high and
low pressure turbine areas. The diaphragm assembly contains the wheel cool-
ing air deflectors and interstage seal teeth that provide the inner seal between
the first aft and second forward wheelspaces.
The diaphragm assembly is divided into the same number of segments as the
second stage nozzle. The diaphragm segments are fixed and located by tongue
and groove fits in the nozzle segment inner sidewall. Axial pins prevent
circumferential movement of the diaphragm segments.
Wheelspace cooling air is introduced into the top and bottom of the turbine
casing and is routed through the second stage nozzle hollow partitions, through
the hollow diaphragm segments, and into the first aft wheelspace. From there it
cascades through the first aft wheelspace air deflector and the interstage seal to
cool the second forward wheelspace. The segment-to-segment abutting sur-
faces contain seal keys to minimize leakage.
The turbine wheels are forged of alloy steel. The second-stage wheel is forged
with a stub shaft on which the journal and sealing surface is machined for the
No. 2 bearing and its oil seal. At the stub aft end is a flange to couple the shaft
to the driven device.
The individual components of the turbine rotor assembly are pre-balanced and
assembled so that the complete rotor assembly will require a minimum of cor-
rection.
The turbine rotor assembly is bolted to the pre-balanced compressor rotor as-
sembly. This complete rotor assembly is again dynamically balanced with any
required corrections carefully distributed to compensate for internal bending
moments.

7. BEARINGS
7.1 GENERAL
The gas turbine unit contains two main journal bearings used to support the gas
turbine rotor. The unit also includes thrust bearings to maintain the rotor-to-
stator axial position. These bearings and seals are incorporated in two
housings: one at the inlet and one in the exhaust frame.
These main bearings are pressure-lubricated by fluid supplied from the main
lubricating system. The fluid flows through branch lines to an inlet in each
bearing housing.
Sketches of typical and thrust bearing configurations are shown in Figure 7-1
(A and B).
7.2 LUBRICATION
The two main turbine bearings are pressure-lubricated with fluid supplied by
the lubricating fluid reservoir and interconnected tanks and piping. Lubricant
feed piping, where practical, is run within the fluid reservoir drain line, or drain
channels, as a protective measure. This procedure is referred to as double
piping and its rationale is that in case of a pipeline leak, lubricating fluid will
not be sprayed on nearby equipment, thus eliminating a potential safety hazard.
When lubricating fluid enters the housing inlet, it flows into an annulus around
the bearing liner. From the annulus, the fluid flows through machined holes in
the liner to the bearing face. The lubricating fluid is prevented from escaping
along the turbine shaft by the use of lubricant seals.
Lubricating fluid on the surface of the turbine shaft is prevented from being
spun along the shaft by seals in each of the bearing housings. These labyrinth
packings of deflectors, or teeth, are assembled at the bearing assemblies where
fluid control is required. A smooth surface is machined on the shaft and seals
are assembled so that only a small clearance exists between the seal deflector
and the shaft.
Seals are designed with double rows of packing and an annular space between
them.
Pressurized sealing air is admitted into this space and prevents lubricating fluid
from spreading along the shaft. Some of this air returns with the fluid to the
main lubricating fluid reservoir and is vented through a lube vent.
The No. 1 bearing subassembly is located in the center of the inlet casing
assembly and contains three bearings:
Additionally, it contains one "running type" ring seal, two labyrinth seals, and
a housing where the components are installed. The components are keyed to
the housing to prevent rotation. The bottom part of the housing is a part of the
inlet casing. The top of the housing is a separate casting, flanged and bolted to
the bottom half.
The labyrinth seals at each end of the housing are pressurized with air
extracted from the compressor. The "running type" ring seal at the forward end
of the thrust bearing cavity contains the lubricant and limits entrance of air into
the cavity.
The No. 2 bearing subassembly is centerline supported and located inside the
exhaust frame inner tunnel. This support includes ears at the horizontal and a
gib key at the bottom centerline. This permits relative growth resulting from
temperature differences while the bearing remains centered in the exhaust
frame.
The assembly includes an elliptical liner, labyrinth seals and a bearing housing
with separate bearing liner retaining strap bolted to the lower half of the
housing. These components are keyed to prevent rotation. The labyrinth seals
at each end of the housing are pressurized with air extracted from the
compressor.

8.1 GENERAL
Gas turbine performance and reliability are a function of the quality and
cleanliness of the air entering the inlet to the turbine. Therefore, for most effi-
cient operation, it is necessary to treat the atmospheric air entering the turbine
by filtering out contaminants. It is the function of the air inlet system with its
specially designed equipment and ducting to modify the quality of the air under
various temperature, humidity, and contamination situations to make it more
suitable for use by the gas turbine.
Hot exhaust gases produced by combustion in the turbine are cooled and at-
tenuated in the exhaust system ducting before being released to atmosphere.
These exhaust emissions respect certain environmental standards of cleanliness
and acoustic levels depending on site location.
The noise generated during gas turbine operation is attenuated by devices built
into the inlet and exhaust sections which dissipate or reduce the acoustical en-
ergy to an acceptable level.
The air inlet system consists of an integrated, high efficiency self cleaning fil-
ter house, support structure, inlet ducting system with acoustical silencer, trash
screens, and an inlet plenum leading to the compressor section of the turbine.
The elevated ducting and filter house arrangement provides a compact system
and minimizes pickup of dust concentrations found near the ground level.
All external and internal surface areas of the inlet system are coated with a pro-
tective inorganic zinc primer with epoxy overcoat, stainless steel or hot dipped
galvanized for corrosion protection.
The general arrangement of the inlet compartment with respect to the gas tur-
bine inlet plenum is shown on the mechanical outline drawing in the "Refer-
ence Drawings " Volume.
The inlet filtration compartment is provided with weather hoods for filter ele-
ment protection. The filter system consists of numerous single-stage, high-
efficiency, moisture resistant element pairs mounted on vertical grid plates.
The filter elements are contained within a light gauge sheet-metal enclosure
which has been specially designed for proper air flow management and
weather protection. The filter elements are connected to a common clean air
plenum which terminates in an outlet flange which connects to the inlet ducting
system.
The inlet ductwork system contains the compressor noise silencing, and con-
nects the inlet compartment with the compressor inlet plenum. It consists of an
acoustically lined transition duct, lined ninety degree elbow (with trash
screen), and eight feet of parallel baffle silencing and unlined ducting with a
flexible joint to complete the air flow path to the filter house.
The inlet silencer consists of an acoustically lined duct which contains silenc-
ing baffles constructed of a low-density insulating material that is encapsulated
by perforated, stainless steel sheet-metal. The acoustic lining in the walls of the
silencer duct and the walls of the ducting downstream of the silencer are of
similar construction. The vertical-parallel baffle configuration was specifically
designed to eliminate the fundamental compressor tone, and attenuate noise at
other frequencies as well.
There is a stationary stainless steel trash screen within the elbow which can be
accessed for cleaning and inspection through a removable access panel.
The exhaust system is that portion of the turbine in which the gases used to
power the turbine wheels are redirected through the exhaust plenum and the si-
lencer modules, into the exhaust stack and released to atmosphere. The exhaust
system includes the exhaust plenum outlet expansion joint, transition duct, si-
lencer modules, transition duct, and the exhaust stack. Exhaust temperature
thermocouples are mounted in the aft wall of the exhaust plenum to sense ex-
haust temperatures and input these values to the MARK VI TMR control
system.
The exhaust plenum is the beginning of the exhaust duct, receiving the gas
flow from the exhaust diffuser. It consists of a box, open at each side and at the
top, which is welded to an extension of the turbine base. The exhaust plenum is
connected to the exhaust frame assembly with flex-plate expansion joints. The
open sides and top of the plenum are covered with a wrapper whose purpose is
to enlarge the plenum volume and force the exhaust gases to one side and into
the exhaust ducting. The wrapper is supported by the foundation mounted ped-
estals.
The exhaust system expansion joint compensates for the thermal expansion of
the exhaust ductwork system. The expansion joint is located between the ex-
haust plenum and the exhaust transition duct.
The exhaust silencer module for this exhaust system is located in the horizontal
duct run just downstream of the transition duct. The exhaust silencer module is
acoustically designed to attenuate the sound of the exhaust gases. This is done
using a parallel batt silencer concept. This arrangement of silencing media pro-
vides for maximum required attenuation of both low and high frequency sound
to meet site requirements.

9.1 GENERAL
Most of the mechanical and electrical auxiliary equipment necessary for start-
ing and operating the gas turbine is contained in the accessory section.
There are many systems involved in the operation of the turbine that are de-
scribed in detail in the Control and Protection text, as well as the Support Sys-
tem text. Several of these systems have accessory devices, or mechanisms, lo-
cated in the accessory section; these may include the starting, fuel, lubrication,
hydraulic, cooling water, and atomizing air systems. Several major components
include the starting means, the torque converter and the accessory drive gear.
Besides being the main link between the starting system drive components and
the gas turbine, the accessory drive gear is the gear reduction unit connected
directly to the turbine for driving several of the accessory devices of the gas
turbine support systems. These systems and their devices are described in de-
tail in subsequent paragraphs of this section.
A pressure gauge and switch cabinet located at the forward edge of the acces-
sory section, contains panel mounted gauges and switches used with the sys-
tems mentioned above.
Mounted on the deck of the accessory section are both accessory drive gear
and starting device together with additional accessory components.
Lifting trunnions are installed on the base and mounting pads are provided on
the bottom surface of the base longitudinal 1-beanis to facilitate mounting of
the base assembly to the foundation.
The accessory drive gear, located at the compressor end of the gas turbine, is a
gearing assembly coupled directly through a flexible coupling to the turbine ro-
tor. Its function is to drive each gas turbine accessory at its proper speed and to
connect and disconnect the turbine from its starting device. In addition it con-
tains the system main lube oil pump and the turbine overspeed trip bolt and
mechanism.
Contained within the gear casing are the gear trains which provide the proper
gear reductions to drive the accessory devices at the required speed, with the
correct torque values. The starting clutch assembly is mounted forward on the
horizontal joint of the main gear shaft and is used to connect the starting device
to the gas turbine. See Figure 9-1.
Accessories driven by the gear may include: the main lube oil pump, the main
hydraulic supply pump, the liquid fuel pump, the water pump, and the main at-
omizing air compressor. Lubrication of the gear is from the turbine’s pressur-
ized bearing header supply.
9.2.1 Description
For ease of maintenance and inspection, the gear casing is split at the horizon-
tal plane into an upper and lower section. Interconnected shafts are arranged in
a parallel axis in the lower casing. With the exception of the lube oil pump
shaft, all the shaft centerlines are located on the horizontal joint of the casing.
The gear consists of four parallel axis, interconnected shafts arranged in a cas-
ing which provides for the various driven accessories. With the exception of
the lube oil pump and hydraulic supply pump shaft, all the shaft centerlines are
located on the horizontal joint of the accessory drive casing. See Figures 9-2
and 9-3. Numbers are assigned to the various shafts and the rpm of each shaft
and the load horsepower are shown in the design data which follows this text.
The gear casing is made of cast iron and split at the horizontal joint to facilitate
assembly. The lower half casing has a closed bottom with openings for lube oil
pump suction and discharge lines and casing dram line.
All of the shafts are connected together by single helical gears which are
shrunk to the shafts after the teeth are cut. It is possible, in some instances to
remove individual gears which may have been damaged in service, and to re-
place them with new gears. This operation, however should be performed at
the factory so that the required precision may be maintained.
All of the shafts located on the horizontal joint are contained in babbitt-lined
steel-backed journal bearings with integral thrust faces which are split on the
horizontal joint of the casing. The thrust faces of the bearings maintain the
shafts in their proper axial location and the necessary thrust clearance is pre-set
at the factory. The shafts which are not on the horizontal joint are contained in
babbitt-lined, steel-backed, non-split bushings with integral thrust faces. Their
thrust clearance is pre-set at the factory.
The main lubricating oil pump is located on the inboard wall of the lower-half
casing of the accessory drive gear and is described in the Lubrication System
section.
A starting clutch assembly is located at the outboard end of the main gear shaft
on the horizontal joint of the casing and is used to connect the starting device
to the gas turbine input shaft. The clutch automatically becomes disengaged
when the gas turbine reaches a speed at which it is self-sustaining.

10.1 GENERAL
Before the gas turbine can be fired and started, it must be rotated or cranked by
accessory equipment. An electric induction motor, operating through a torque
converter, provides the cranking torque and speed required to start up the turbine.
The starting system components also permit slow-speed rotation of the turbine for
cooling-down purposes after shutdown.
The components of the electric motor starting system include: an induction motor,
a torque converter with ratcheting mechanism, a starting jaw clutch and a hydrau-
lic ratchet system (See Fig. 10-1).
During the starting sequence, the electric starting motor, the torque converter, the
output gear and the starting clutch drive the gas turbine through the accessory
gear. The starting clutch assembly and the clutch engaging cylinders are mounted
on the accessory gear assembly. A flexible coupling permanently couples the ac-
cessory gear with the turbine compressor shaft.
The torque converter transmits the electric motor output torque to the gas turbine
accessory gear through a reversing gear. The torque converter input shaftdrives
the charge pump, which supplies turbine lube oil to the torque converter.
Initially, the charge pump receives oil for the torque converter charge pump from
the lube oil header. The charge pump, after building up the lube oil operating
pressure, draws the oil from the turbine lube oil tank through a filter.
A spring-loaded check valve, installed in the discharge line of the lube oil header,
maintains a positive oil pressure on the charge pump during operation. Oil returns
to the turbine lube oil tank through drains.
The starting system provides both cranking and turning power during the gas tur-
bine startup and shutdown cycles. In the starting cycle, the starting equipment ac-
complishes three primary functions: it sets the gas turbine rolling (breakaway
from standstill); it accelerates the gas turbine to firing speed; finally, it further ac-
celerates it to self -sustaining speed (a speed at which the gas turbine develops net
positive power output).
When the electric starting motor is energized, its output torque starts from zero
and increases as the torque converter is filled with oil by the charge pump. The
torque converter output is directly proportional to the difference between input
and output speeds (maximum slip). The torque converter and reversing gear speed
ratios were picked to crank the gas turbine at firing speed. When pressurized, the
converter demands power from the motor and supplies power to the gas turbine
through the starting clutch. The ratchet system may supplement the breakaway
torque. The self-sustaining ratchet device, mounted on the reversing gear, starts
when it receives pressure oil from the hydraulic self-sequencing control valve
module. This oil at higher pressure flows from the hydraulic ratchet pump through
a filter to the self-sequencing module.
This assembly includes the torque converter, the hydraulic ratchet mechanism and
an output gear unit. Pressurized oil from the converter loop lubricates the gear
unit and the clutch in the ratchet mechanism. Drain oil from the assembly returns
to the lube oil reservoir by gravity. The converter loop drains during shutdown to
unload the converter for engine startup.
The torque converter consists of a driven pump rotor that supplies oil to a hydrau-
lic turbine connected with the input shaft of the output gear. The pump rotor re-
quires rated motor horsepower at rated speed, independent of the output load. The
power absorption of the pump rotor varies as the cube of the input speed.
In the system, the valve module controls the starting clutch engagement and the
hydraulic self-sequencing operation of the rotary actuator. The module includes
one ON/OFF solenoid valve, one modulating backpressure valve that maintains
adequate pressure to the clutch engaging cylinders, two pilot operated valves that
control the flow to the rotary actuator, and one limit switch.
The hydraulic ratchet pump assembly is made up of a D.C. motor 88 CR-1, driv-
ing the pump. This assembly pumps lube oil from the unit bearing header to the
inlets of the relief valve and to the control valve module.
With the pump in operation and solenoid valve energized, oil from the lubrication
system reaches the starting clutch. This causes the ratchet mechanism to operate
continuously as the hydraulic self-sequencing control automatically shifts the oil
flow between forward and reset strokes of the ratchet mechanism.
The electronic control panel automatically sequences the unit cooling down proc-
ess. Once every three minutes, the ratchet mechanism is operated through one
complete cycle. The cycle terminates in the forward stroke position to lock the
clutch in engaged position.
The action of the ratchet system normally serves to achieve breakaway of the unit
rotor system during the unit startup sequence. With the starting system at maxi-
mum power, the D.C. motor and the solenoid valve are energized for continuous
operation until breakaway is achieved. If breakaway is not achieved within three
minutes, the ratchet system is de-energized.
A starting clutch connects the output shaft of the torque converter assembly to the
main shaft of the accessory gear. Hydraulic cylinders engage the clutch (oil sup-
plied by the ratchet control valve module); return springs in the cylinders disen-
gage it.
The system is designed to maintain the clutch engaged at all times, except when
the gas turbine is running.
A starting clutch solenoid valve actuates two parallel, horizontally oriented hy-
draulic cylinders. These move the sliding clutch into engagement with the station-
ary clutch hub. When the gas turbine reaches a predetermined speed, the solenoid
valve is de-energized by the 33HR-1 speed relay and dumps the hydraulic oil to
drain.

The gas fuel system is designed to deliver gas fuel to the turbine combustion
chambers at the proper pressure and flow rates to meet all of the starting, ac-
celeration and loading requirements of gas turbine operation.
The major component of a gas fuel system is the gas stop/ratio and control
valve assembly located in the accessory area. Associated with this gas valve is
the vent valve , control servovalves, pressure gauges and the distribution pip-
ing to the combustion fuel nozzles. See the schematic piping diagram.
d. Pressure gauges.
Gas fuel is first cleaned by passing through a strainer as it comes from the sup-
ply piping, prior to flowing through the gas valve and into the gas manifold
piping. The gas fuel is metered and controlled by the gas valve (gas stop ratio
and control valve) to supply the required flow to the gas turbine combustion
system.
The fuel gas stop ratio and control valve consists of two independent valves (a
stop ratio valve and a control valve) combined into one housing assembly.
Both the gas stop ratio valve and the gas control valve are single-action, elec-
trohydraulically operated.
The gas control valve (GCV-1) part of the gas/stop ratio and control valve pro-
vides a fuel gas metering function to the turbine in accordance with its speed
and load requirements. The position of the gas control valve (hence fuel gas
flow to the turbine) is a linear function of a fuel stroke reference voltage (FSR)
generated by the SPPEDTRONIC control. The control voltage generated acts
to shift the electrohydraulic servovalve to admit oil to or release it from the hy-
draulic cylinder to position the gas control valve so that the fuel gas flow is
that which is required for a given turbine speed and load situation.
The gas stop ratio valve (SRV-1) is similar to the gas control valve. Its plug,
however, has a steeper taper to provide the high gain necessary to maintain
good pressure control. The ratio function of the stop ratio valve provides a
regulated inlet pressure for the control valve as a function of turbine speed.
The SPEEDTRONIC pressure control loop generates a position signal to posi-
tion the stop ratio valve by means of a servovalve controlled hydraulic cylinder
to provide required intervalve pressure.
The gas stop ratio valve functions in the fuel gas system to provide a positive
fuel shutoff when required by either normal or emergency conditions. A gas
fuel trip valve is operated by trip oil pressure acting on the piston end of a
spool. When the trip oil pressure is normal the gas fuel trip valve is held in a
position that allows hydraulic oil to flow between the control servovalve and
the hydraulic cylinder. In this position normal control of the stop ratio valve is
allowed. In event of a drop in trip oil pressure below a predetermined limit, a
spring in the trip valve shifts the spool to interrupt the flow path of oil between
the control servovalve and the hydraulic cylinder. Hydraulic oil is dumped and
the stop ratio valve closes, shutting off fuel gas flow to the turbine.
A fuel gas strainer is installed upstream of the turbine base fuel inlet connec-
tion point, to facilitate site maintenance requirements. Connection of the fuel
gas supply is made at the purchaser’s connection in the supply line ahead of the
gas strainer. Foreign particles that may be in the incoming fuel gas are re-
moved by the strainer. A blow-down connection on the bottom of the strainer
body provides for periodic cleaning of the strainer screen. Frequency of clean-
ing will depend on the quality of the fuel gas being used. The strainer should
be cleaned shortly after full turbine load has been attained for the first time and
after any disassembly of the purchaser’s fuel gas line.
A low fuel gas alarm pressure switch PI-8, installed in the gas piping
ahead of the gas stop/speed ratio and control valve assembly, provides
alarm protection should the gas pressure drop below the switch set-
ting. An alarm will be indicated on the annunciator panel in the con-
trol center Fuel Gas Vent Valve (20VG-1).
Three pressure gauges are provided in the fuel gas piping. The up-
stream gauge measures the pressure of fuel gas entering the stop/speed
ratio valve; the intermediate gauge measures the pressure as it leaves
the valve and the downstream gauge measures pressure of the gas
leaving the gas control valve flowing to the gas manifold.
On DLN , applications fuel is split between two different zones of the combus-
tor, primary and secondary. This fuel split is a function of combustion refer-
ence temperature and is scheduled to obtain optimum NOx and CO emissions.
The MARK V Control schedules split based on DLN Mode, which is a func-
tion of combustion reference temperature and flame position in the combustor.
This system DOES NOT require a transfer purge system (see Fig. 11-1)
11.6.1 Primary Mode - A mode where the fuel splitter valve. (VGS-3) is set
to 100% position or full primary, and all the fuel is entering the pri-
mary nozzles with combustion occurring in the primary combustion
zone. This mode is typically from ignition through 1500F, combus-
tion reference temperature).
11.6.2 Lean-lean Mode - In this mode the fuel splitter valve has moved to an
intermediate position, passing fuel into both the primary and secon-
dary combustion zones, with combustion occurring in both zones.
The split can vary from 50-70% primary. Lean-lean is an intermedi-
ate mode between primary and secondary transfer mode and typically
is from 1500F to 1850F combustion reference temperature.
11.6.3 Secondary Transfer Mode - In this mode the splitter valve moves to
full secondary, thus passing all fuel into the secondary combustion
zone, via the secondary nozzles. The primary zone flames out due to
lack of fuel, and all combustion occurs in the secondary zone. This
mode follows lean-lean mode prior to premix and typically occurs at
1850F.
11.6.4 Premix Transfer Mode - In this mode the fuel splitter valve refer-
ence integrates from 0% primary up to the premix destination split,
typically near 80%, primary. This is a transitionary mode between
secondary transfer and premix steady state. Fuel is being admitted
into the primary and secondary combustion zone through the primary,
& secondary nozzles with combustion occurring only in the secondary
zone.
11.6.5 Premix Steady State - This is the optimal mode of operation for a
DLN turbine with the lowest NOx and CO obtainable. In this mode
fuel is entering both the primary and secondary zones through the pri-
mary and secondary fuel nozzles, with combustion occurring only in
the secondary zone. Approximately 80%, of the fuel is "premixing" in
the primary zone before combustion occurs in the secondary combus-
tion zone downstream of the venturi. This mode is active after premix
transfer through base load and picks up near 1900F combustion refer-
ence temperature.
11.6.7 DLN Load Rejection Recovery - This mode is active in the event of
a sudden cut back in fuel command (FSR), such as breaker open when
in premix transfer or premix steady state mode. This mode moves the
splitter valve to an intermediate position until primary flame is de-
tected, then fully transitions to primary mode, as would be called for
by the combustion reference temperature. Recovery mode is necessary
to reestablish flame in the primary zone before completely transition-
ing fuel flow to primary only.

The lubricating requirements for the gas turbine power plant are furnished by a
common forced-feed lubrication system. This lubrication system, complete
with tank, pumps, cooler, filters, valves and various control and protection de-
vices, furnishes normal lubrication and absorption of heat rejection load of the
gas turbine. Lubricating fluid is circulated to the three main turbine bearings,
generator bearings, and to the turbine accessory gear. Additionally, a portion of
the pressurized fluid is diverted and filtered again for use by hydraulic control
devices as control fluid and as a supply to other systems.
2. Main lube pump PL-1 (shaft driven from the accessory gear).
For turbine starting, a maximum of 800 SSU is specified for reliable operation
of the control system and for bearing lubrication
Lubricating fluid for the main, the auxiliary and the emergency pumps is sup-
plied from the reservoir, while lubricating fluid used for control is supplied
from the bearing header. This lubricant must be regulated to the proper, prede-
termined pressure to meet the requirements of the main bearings and the acces-
sory lube system, as well as the hydraulic control and trip circuits. Regulating
devices are shown on the Lube System Schematic Diagram. All lubricating
fluid is filtered and cooled before being piped to the bearing header.
For more details, please refer to Fig. 12-1, 12-2, 12-3, 12-4, 12-5.
The system is a closed loop, forced feed system. Pumps draw lube oil from the
oil tank and force it under pressure through the heat exchangers, oil filters and
the bearing header to the bearings. Pressure, regulated at “1.7 Bar” for the
bearing header, is discharged from the pumps. All lubricant pumped from the
lube reservoir to the bearing header flows through the lube fluid heat ex-
changer to remove excess heat and then through the cartridge type filter pro-
viding 12-micron filtration. After lubricating the bearings the lubricant flows
back through various drain lines to the lube reservoir. Protection devices are
incorporated into lube systems, where necessary to protect the equipment
against low lubricant supply, low lubricant pressure and high lubricant tem-
perature. The protective devices sound an alarm or shut the unit down if any of
the above conditions occur.
The lube oil tank is fabricated as an integral part of the accessory base, in the
area under the accessory section. Installed in the tank and mounted on its
cover are the lube oil pumps, lube oil filters and the various control and protec-
tive devices. A manhole with a bolted-on cover provides access to the tank in-
terior. An oil tank fill connection is provided on either side, near the tank bot-
tom.
Welded fabrications of seamless, stainless steel pipe compose most of the lube
oil piping. Gaskets prevent leakage at the bolted flanges of this piping. When-
ever possible, the lube oil feed piping is contained within the oil tank or drain
headers.
A pipe, connected to a flanged opening in the drain channel near the aft end of
the base, provides a vent to atmosphere for the complete lube oil system.
All lubricant pumped by the main or aux. lube oil pump to the lube oil header
flows through a water cooler or to an oil/air cooler to remove excess heat and
then through a cartridge type filter providing 12-micron absolute filtration. The
lubricant pumped by the emergency pump bypasses the cooler.
An oil level transmitter (96QL-1), included in the main tank (TL-1), generate
an alarm when the lube oil level falls under the minimum operative level.
Temperature readings of the lube oil feed header are taken from the thermome-
ter installed in the header. There is also a thermocouple in the bearing. Bearing
oil drain temperatures are measured by thermocouples in the drains. Dia-
phragm-operated regulating valve VPR-2 set at 1.75 kg/cm² g, installed before
the lube fluid heat exchanger, maintains design pressure. Capacity of the sys-
tem including tank, piping and system components is approximately 9420 lt.
12.3.1 Drains
The drain points of the lube oil system are shown on the Schematic Piping Dia-
gram, and the Purchaser’s Connection Outline and Notes, contained in the
“Reference Drawings” Volume.
Flow sights are present in the bearing and coupling drains to allow visual
check of the oil flow. Check the oil flow when the lube oil pumps are started
prior to every turbine startup.
Both the auxiliary and emergency pumps are mounted on the oil tank cover.
The output of each one of the pumps at rated speed together with motor ratings
are included in the Device Summary of this manual. Functional information
concerning the pumps is included in the following paragraphs.
The main lube oil pump is a positive displacement pump, located on the base
of the accessory gear; it is driven by a splined quill shaft connected with the
lower drive gear. One backpressure valve VPR-2 limits the output of this
pump to the lube oil system . The pressure setting of VPR-2 is given on the
Device Summary. Further information on the pump is included in the "Auxil-
iary Equipment and Instrumentation Publication" volume.
The auxiliary centrifugal lube pump provides pressure during the starting and
stopping sequences of the gas turbine, when the main pump cannot supply suf-
ficient pressure for safe operation.
When ac power is available during the turbine starting and stopping sequences,
system lube pressure is supplied by the auxiliary supply pump driven by A.C.
motor 88QA during the time that the main shaft-driven pump is at a speed in-
sufficient to develop operating pressure.
At turbine startup, the ac pump starts automatically when the master control
switch on the turbine control panel is turned to the START position. It contin-
ues to operate until the turbine reaches approximately 95 percent of operational
speed. At this point, the pump shuts down and system pressure is supplied by
the shaft-driven, main lube pump.
On turbine shutdown, the A.C. motor-driven auxiliary pump starts after the
14HSX relay contact drops out. This occurs when turbine speed drops to a
value of between 75 and 90 percent of operational speed. The pump continues
to operate throughout the shutdown and cooldown period and runs until the op-
erator transmits a second stop signal by turning the master control switch on
the turbine control panel to the STOP position, a second time.
Low lube oil pressure transmitters 96QT-2A control the auxiliary lube oil
pump. These pressure transmitters also signal alarm conditions in addition to
the start function. Start signals from this transmitters cause the auxiliary lube
oil pump to run under low lube oil pressure conditions as happens during
startup or shutdown of the gas turbine. At this time, the main pump, driven by
the accessory gear, does not supply sufficient pressure.
During the turbine starting sequence, the auxiliary lube oil pump starts on re-
ceiving the start signal. The control circuit is operated through the normally
closed contacts of the 96QT-2A/2B/2C pressure transmitters.
The pump will run until the turbine reaches operating speed, even though the
lube oil header is at rated pressure and the pressure transmitters contacts has
opened. If operating speed is reached and proper lube oil pressure is not estab-
lished in the system, the pump will continue to run (through the contacts of the
complete sequence check relay).
When the turbine shutdown sequence is on and the control system timer is on
as well, pressure transmitters 96QT-2A/2B/2C will signal the auxiliary pump
to start running. This happens when the lube oil header pressure falls to the
point at which the contacts of the switch or of the transmitter are set to close.
The pump will continue to run (if A.C. power is available) throughout the cool
down period, during which time the control system timer will be in charge of
operation.
The emergency centrifugal lube oil pump intervenes to supply lube oil to the
main bearing header during an emergency shutdown, in the event that the aux-
iliary pump has been forced out of service or is unable to maintain adequate
lube oil pressure.
The emergency pump is used only during turbine shutdown, since the pump
size and the drive motor are incapable of supplying adequate lube oil for nor-
mal turbine operation.
If A.C. power is not available during the turbine starting and stopping se-
quences, system lube fluid pressure is supplied by the emergency lube supply
pump driven by a D.C. motor (88QE) energized by a pressure switch. The
pump operates until the turbine reaches approximately 40 percent speed. It will
continue to operate after 40 percent speed is reached if the system pres-
sure has not reached the pressure setting of the pressure switch.
The emergency lube pump supplies lube fluid to the main bearing header dur-
ing an emergency shutdown in the event that the auxiliary pump has been
forced out of service, or is unable to maintain adequate lube pressure.
The emergency pump can be tested for correct start, independent of the relating
control pressure switches, while the lube oil system is operating normally on
the main or auxiliary pump.
On units with automatic control, the control circuits are arranged so that the
A.C. auxiliary lube oil pump will automatically continue operation after tur-
bine shutdown for a ten-hour cool down period. If A.C. power is not available
after shutdown, the D.C. emergency lube oil pump will operate automatically,
cycling 30 seconds on and 3 minutes off, until a time of 100 minutes on has
been accumulated (total cycle time of ten hours).
12.5 VALVES
This system uses various types of valves that regulate pressure and control the
flow of lube oil. Please refer to the “Instrument List- Reference Drawings”
Volume, which reports the valve symbols, settings and descriptions.
Check valves are present in the discharge piping from each of the lube oil
pumps. They are also installed in the discharge piping of auxiliary and emer-
gency pumps to prevent lube oil from being circulated back to the oil tank
through the standby centrifugal pump
The check valve mounted in the discharge piping of the main shaft-driven gear
pump prevents loss of auxiliary pump pressure to the lube oil system in case of
gear pump failure. The gear pump check valve also contains an orifice, which
regulates the flow of lubricating oil to the pump gears during the cranking se-
quence, when the lube oil pressure is being supplied by the auxiliary pump.
12.5.2 Test valve - low lube oil pressure - auxiliary pump start
A test valve, mounted on the gauge cabinet, serves to test the automatic startup
of the auxiliary lube oil pump through the signals generated by the low lube oil
alarm/pump start pressure s transmitters 96QT-2A/2B/2C while the unit is op-
erating normally on the main lube oil pump. By opening the test valve, lube oil
pressure falls to the setting of the pressure switch and the auxiliary lube oil
pump should start. The annunciator should indicate a condition of ”Auxiliary
Lube Oil Pump Running”. When closing the test valve, the pump continues to
run (through the contacts of the complete sequence check relay) until manual
shutdown. After completing this test, reset the annunciator.
A test valve, mounted on the gauge cabinet, serves to check automatic startup
of the emergency lube oil pump by pressure transmitters 96QT-2A (start the
pump), which signal a bearing header alarm. It is possible to run this test while
the unit is operating normally on the main lube oil pump or when the turbine is
operating or shut down and the auxiliary AC pump is supplying pressure to the
lube oil system.
The pressure transmitters with bleed valves are installed after an orifice in the
pressure transmitter a piping connected with the bearing lube oil header.
The gauge provides a means of checking the pressure points at which the
switches operate to indicate a condition of low lubricating fluid pressure on the
C.R.T. and to start the emergency lube supply pump. If the pressure is indi-
cated on setting of relative switch, a condition of low lubricant pressure is indi-
cated on the C.R.T.. Further opening of the test valve will reduce pressure in
the test line to the pressure setting of the switch which starts the emergency
lube pump. A Signal drop indicates either a low pressure condition or that the
emergency lube supply pump is running. A low lubricating fluid pressure indi-
cation should occur before the pump begins operating.
When the test valve is closed and the lube pressure returns to normal, the emer-
gency lube supply pump should stop as a result of restoration of pressure on
the switch.
A check valve is placed in the discharge piping of the auxiliary and emergency
lube pumps to prevent fluid from being circulated to the oil tank through these
centrifugal pumps when the main pump is operating.
) NOTE
A bypass orifice is also present in the body of regulating valve VPR-2, to per-
mit limited valve travel and damped regulatory control. Moreover, it ensures
oil flow to the header in the event of malfunction and closure of the VPR-2
valve.
The A.C. motor driven auxiliary lube oil pump always operates during standby
heating periods to circulate the oil in the system. The heater control circuitry is
shown on the MK VI "Sequencing Diagram", supplied beforehand, and tem-
perature control settings are noted in the Instrument List included in the “Ref-
erence Drawings”.
A 12-micron, absolute inorganic fiber filter installed in the lube system just af-
ter the lube oil cooler, filtrates all lube oil. Two (dual) filters with a transfer
valve, installed between the filters, direct the oil flow through either filter and
into the lube oil header.
Dual filters are arranged side by side in the tank. They are connected with the
pump discharge header through a manual transfer valve. Only one filter at a
time is in service; thus, it is possible to clean, inspect and service the second
one without interrupting oil flow or shutting down the gas turbine.
By means of the manually operated, worm-driven transfer valve, you can put
into service one filter and you can take out the second one, without interrupting
the oil flow to the main lube oil header.
The transfer of operation from one filter to the other should be accomplished as
follows:
1. Open the filler valve and fill the stand-by filter until a solid oil flow can be
seen in the flow sight in the filter vent pipe. This will indicate a "filled"
condition.
2. Operate the transfer valve with a wrench to bring the stand-by filter into ser-
vice.
Temperature switches are installed in the lubricating fluid header piping. They
generate an alarm and start the lube oil cooler auxiliary fan or initiate a trip
with two out of three logic if the temperature of the lubricant to the bearings
exceed the preset limit.
Displacer type liquid level switches are mounted on the lube oil reservoir. Re-
fer to the Instrument list for the maximum and minimum lube oil levels. If the
lube oil level falls below a minimum set point or rises above a maximum set
point, an alarm will occur.
A reflex type level gauge is mounted on the side of the reservoir for local level
indication.
The lube oil flowing to the turbine lube oil header and to the driven machines
must have a temperature that guarantees its correct viscosity.
For this purpose, the lube oil system includes a water/oil cooler or an air/oil
cooler.
The lube oil is sent to the cooler installed downstream of the pump and
upstream of the lube oil filters.
The water/oil cooler may have either one or two bodies arranged in parallel
and utilizing a continuous flow transfer valve. This feature permits either
cooler to be cut out of service for inspection or maintenance without interrupt-
ing oil flow to the machines. The air/oil cooler is a finned tube heat exchanger
provided with electric motor driven fans.
A temperature regulating valve (VTR-1) controls the lube oil flow through the
off-base cooling unit. This valve is installed in the feed line to the cooling
unit. Valve actuation is controlled by lube oil header temperature to maintain
the lube oil temperature at a predetermined value.
During turbine start-up, this valve allows all oil to by-pass the cooler.
The vapours produced from heated oil are extremely dangerous, both if emitted
into the atmosphere and if induced into the oil circuit, as they are considered
highly inflammable. For this reason, a vapour separator is used in order to
condense the volatile particles of oil, which, by the action of the gravity force,
fall back into the oil casing.
The system is composed substantially of the following elements:
Electric motor 88QV-1;
Centrifugal fan QV-1;
Level gauges;
Differential pressure gauge.
Electric motor heater 23QV-1
For more information on technical characteristics and maintenance of the oil
vapour separator console, please refer to “Auxiliary Equipment and Instrumen-
tation Publications” Volume.
The lube oil purifier system is composed by two purifier, the first is mounted
on the auxiliary skid and the second one is mounted on a trolley.
The two skid are egual and are composed mainly by the following components:

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
CONTENTS SECT
GENERAL 13.1
13.1 GENERAL
The primary functions of the hydraulic system are to provide hydraulic fluid
under required high pressure to: the hydraulic supply manifold assembly,
ratchet/clutch assemblies, fuel gas system and variable inlet guide vane assem-
bly.
Functionally, the hydraulic supply system comprises two separate systems
whose only common points is the lube oil system, which is used as a supply
source for hydraulic fluid. One system includes the hydraulic supply pump,
hydraulic supply manifold, fuel control servovalves and the variable inlet guide
vane actuator. The other system, which is described in detail in the Starting
Means Section, includes the ratchet pump assembly and the ratchet assembly.
Low pressure trip control oil (OLT), obtained from the gas turbine lube system
is utilized for hydraulic operation of the gas turbine protective trip devices.
The major system components include the main hydraulic supply pump PH-1,
the system filter(s) FH1- 1/2, a transfer valve, the hydraulic supply manifold
assembly and the inlet guide vane control valves and actuator.
Regulated, filtered lube oil from the bearing header of the gas turbine is used
as the high pressure fluid necessary to meet the hydraulic system requirements.
When the main pump is operating and it fails to maintain adequate pressure,
the condition will be sensed by pressure switch 96HQ-1. This switch also
initiates an annunciator alarm to indicate low hydraulic supply pressure.
A test valve, direct reading gauge, and manual spring-loaded, isolation shut-off
valve are installed at a common connection point with 96HQ-1 for periodic in-
spection and maintenance purposes.
By the main pump hydraulic fluid is pumped to the hydraulic manifold an as-
sembly designed to provide a means of interconnecting a number of small com-
ponents.
Contained within the assembly there are one relief valve one air bleed valve,
and one check valve. Relief valve VR-21 protects the main hydraulic pump
circuit from damage in case of a failure of the main pump pressure compensa-
tor VPR-3-1.
The pump circuit contains a check valve, downstream of its relief valve, which
keeps the hydraulic lines full when the turbine is shutdown. The air bleed
valves vent any air present in the pump discharge lines.
Lube fluid suction flow to the hydraulic pump comes from the turbine bearing
header; this fluid having been filtered previously.
From a single output connection of the manifold assembly the fluid is piped
through system filter FH-1A or FH-1B, to become a high pressure control
fluid.
This high pressure control fluid is piped to control components in the fuel sys-
tem that admit or shutoff fuel or to control the operation of the inlet guide
vanes.
The hydraulic supply system filters prevent contaminants and other wear parti-
cles of the pump from entering the devices of the inlet guide vane system and
the fuel control servovalves.
Each filter is a 5 micron absolute, pleated paper filter. Only one filter is in ser-
vice at any time during system operation. A manual transfer valve permits
changeover to the second filter without interrupting system operation.
Differential gauges are provided to indicate oil pressure across the filters.
When a gauge indicates a low pressure of 5 bar g, the filter cartridge should be
replaced.
The manually operated transfer valve allows filter replacement while the ma-
chine is running under load.
Before operating the transfer valve, the filter which is not in use must be filled
with oil and brought to pressure equilibrium with the filter in use.
This is accomplished by slowly opening the needle valve in the "fill" line be-
tween the filters.
The valve in the vent line should be cracked open to allow any entrapped air to
escape and then tightly closed.
After allowing a few minutes for pressure equalization, the transfer valve may
be operated.
This feature permits machine operation with one filter while the other is being
serviced or replaced.
The hydraulic supply manifold as stated above, receives high pressure oil from
the accessory gear driven main hydraulic pump. The hydraulic oil is controlled
by a pressure compensator VPR3-1 built into the pump. The action of the com-
pensator varies the stroke of the pump to maintain set pressure at the pump dis-
charge.
Relief valve VR-21 is provided as a back up to this control.
When system pressure reaches the correct setting, and a steady flow of hydrau-
lic oil is established, the valve closes automatically.
From the hydraulic manifold, through a check valve and filter, oil is supplied
as the control oil to the fuel system and the inlet guide vane system.
In order to prevent possible pulsation in the gas turbine during acceleration and
deceleration, variable inlet guide vanes are installed in the shaft end of the tur-
bine’s inlet casing. The variable vanes, in conjunction with control of the tenth-
stage compressor bleed air (see Air Systems), permit rapid and smooth turbine
starts and shutdowns without compressor surge.
The variable inlet guide vane actuating system includes the inlet guide vane so-
lenoid valve 90TV-1, guide vane actuator control valve VC-1, position trans-
mitters 96TV-1, 96TV-2 and hydraulic actuating cylinder.
The manifold controls the flow, (to sump or to line) and regulates the pressure
of the hydraulic fluid. The output of the manifold is fed through a filter and
channeled to the inlet guide vane solenoid valve 90TV-1.
Actuation of the 90TV-1 valve supplies hydraulic pressure to operate the vari-
able inlet guide vane actuator.
When the 90TV-1 valve is energized, the guide vanes are opened to permit
maximum air flow through the turbine compressor. When the valve is deener-
gized, the vanes are closed and the air flow through the turbine is minimized.
The rotatable shaft of each individual inlet guide vane extends through the
compressor casing and is geared to a circumferential inlet guide vane contro1
ring on the compressor. Rotation of this control ring varies the chord angle of
each individual inlet guide vane in the compressor. Thus, the inlet air flow of
the turbine changes as a function of the inlet guide vane angle position. A lin-
ear electrohydraulic actuator is connected to the control ring through a con-
necting link.
The startup and shutdown logic sequence control requires that the inlet guide
vane control ring be at the closed position before the turbine is fired and re-
main in this closed position until the turbine is at speed. The pickup of the
high-speed relay 14HS energizes the turbine compressor inlet guide vane sole-
noid valve 90TV-1 which actuates a hydraulic cylinder to open the vanes to
their normal operating position for loading. Similarly, the shutdown and trip
logic sequence requires that the inlet guide vanes be returned to their closed
position when the turbine is tripped and when the 14HS relay drops out in the
decelerating cycle. Two position transmitters 96TV-1 and 96TV-2 are installed
on the inlet guide vane control ring to indicate through the turbine control
panel when the guide vanes are in a closed position. Thus, the inlet guide vanes
are operated with the same permissive sequence as the tenth-stage compressor
bleed valves, which are also required for pulsation protection of the turbine.
! WARNING
) NOTE
The low pressure trip circuit control oil (OLT) is supplied by the lube oil sys-
tem. The lube oil system connects to the low pressure trip circuit through an
orifice, supplying (OLT) oil to the manual emergency and turbine overspeed
trip devices. From this point, (OLT) is supplied to the turbine fuel systems
through a parallel check valve/orifice piping system and solenoid stop valves.
Operation of the solenoid valves permits use of the fuel systems for turbine op-
eration and turbine trip action when required. The system also provides a direct
connection to the overspeed alarm device for turbine shutdown whenever an
overspeed condition occurs.

14.1 GENERAL
Air obtained from the gas turbines axial-flow compressor is used for cooling
the various parts of the turbine section and for pressurizing the bearing oil seals
in the gas turbine. This cooling and sealing air provides air flow to certain in-
ternal and external turbine parts to prevent excessive temperature buildup in
these parts during normal operation and for sealing the turbine bearings.
The parts of the turbine section which are cooled by air consist of: the first and
second-stage turbine wheel forward and aft faces, the first and second-stage
nozzles, the turbine shell, and support struts. The combustion chamber liners,
transition pieces, and the combustion casing, are designed to utilize compressor
discharge air for effective cooling of these parts.
Air obtained from the axial-flow compressor used in the turbine cooling and
bearing sealing functions includes fourth and tenth-stage extraction air, com-
pressor high-pressure seal leakage air, and compressor discharge air.
Fourth-stage air is piped externally through orifices through the turbine shell
and support struts to the aft surface of the second-stage wheel. This air cools
the portion of the shell surrounding the first and second-stage nozzles and tur-
bine wheels and also cools the support struts which are in the hot gas exhaust
stream.
Compressor high pressure seal leakage air is channeled internally to the for-
ward surface of the first-stage turbine wheel. This air flow provides a source of
cooling air for the first-stage wheel and is exited into the exhaust hot gas path.
When gas turbines burn oil as a fuel, they utilize compressor discharge air to
activate the control piston of the false start drain valve in the fuel oil system.
The turbines also require atomizing of the fuel oil and use compressor dis-
charge air as the source of atomizing air. An auxiliary air compressor, driven
by the turbine starting device, supplies the atomizing air supply during startup
when the turbine speed level is low and the main pump, driven by the acces-
sory gear, cannot supply the required air.
CONTENTS SECT
The carbon dioxide fire protection system used for the gas turbine unit extin-
guishes fires by reducing the oxygen content of the air in the compartment
from an atmospheric normal of 2l% to below the level necessary to support
combustion (normally 15%). To reduce the oxygen content, a quantity of car-
bon dioxide (CO2) equal to or greater than 34% of the compartment volume is
discharged into the compartment in one minute and, recognizing the reflash po-
tential of combustibles exposed to high temperature metal, an extended dis-
charge is provided to maintain an extinguishing concentration for a prolonged
period to minimize potential reflash conditions. The fire protection system de-
sign conforms to the requirements specified in NFPA Pamphlet 12- Standard
on Carbon Dioxide Extinguishing Systems.
The fire protection system control panel is mounted in the Off-Base cabinet,
where the CO2 high-pressure cylinders are located. The interconnecting field
piping, which is usually supplied by the installer, delivers the CO2 from the
turbine control room to the gas turbine compartments, where it connects to the
piping that distributes the CO2 into the compartments through nozzle orifices.
Two separate distribution systems are used: an initial discharge and an ex-
tended discharge. Within a few seconds after actuation, sufficient CO2 flows
from the initial discharge system into the gas turbine compartments to rapidity
build up an extinguishing concentration (normally 34%). A CO2 concentration
(usually 30%) is then maintained by the gradual addition of more CO2 from the
extended discharge system compensating for compartment leakage. Carbon di-
oxide flow rate is controlled by the size of the orifices in the discharge nozzles
in each compartment for both the initial and extended discharge systems. The
orifices for the initial discharge system permit a rapid discharge of CO2 to
quickly build up an extinguishing concentration.
Orifices for the extended discharge system are smaller and permit a relatively
slow discharge rate to maintain an extinguishing concentration over a pro-
longed period of time (based on the turbine frame size’s emergency roll down
and cool down periods) to minimize the likelihood of a fire re-igniting.
) NOTE
! WARNING
) NOTE
Should a fire occur in one of the protected turbine compartments, the contacts
of one of the heat-sensitive four detectors 45FT-1, 45FT-2, 45FT-3 and 45FT-4
for Turbine, 45FA-1, 45FA-2, 45FA-3, 45FA-4 for Accessory Compartment
and 45FT-5,45FT-6 for Gear/Coupling Compartment will dose and complete
an electrical circuit that energizes and opens solenoid valves 45CR-3/4/5/6.
Actuation of these valves allows CO2 to flow from the bank of high-pressure
cylinders into the initial and extended discharge of the piping distribution sys-
tem and into the different comprised compartments of the Unit.
Carbon dioxide flow rate is controlled by the size of the orifices in the dis-
charge nozzles in each compartment for both the initial and extended discharge
systems. The orifices for the initial discharge system permit a rapid discharge
of CO2 to quickly build up an extinguishing concentration. Orifices for the ex-
tended discharge system are smaller and permit a relatively slow discharge rate
Manual release switches mounted on the enclosure external walls of the pro-
tected zones for remote lockout of CO2 discharge. These devices are equipped
with a pin, which must be pulled before the push button can be depressed to ac-
tivate the system and discharge the CO2. Actuation of the system, either auto-
matically or manually, will trip the turbine to shut off, shut down the ventila-
tion system, and cause the discharge of CO2.
For installation, inspection, and maintenance of the fire protection system, re-
fer to the vendor instructions.
VENTILATION SYSTEM
CONTENTS SECT
GENERAL 16.1
16.1 GENERAL
The air inlet system consists of an elevated air inlet compartment and inlet ducting
with silencing provisions connected to the turbine inlet plenum. This system com-
bines the function of filtering and silencing the inlet air with the function of di-
recting air into the gas generator.
Inlet air enters the inlet compartment and flows through the parallel overhead
ducting, with built-in acoustic silencers and thrash screens to the inlet plenum and
then into gas generator.
The Filter House is located off base and connects to the inlet ducting. This filter is
a high velocity type.
The filtration unit is required to provide adequate protection for the turbine unit
against the environmental conditions existing at the turbine site. To ensure that
this protection is maintained, proper filtration maintenance is required.
The exhaust duct has a circular section insulated to avoid the heat dissipation. The
silencer operates in horizontal position and is supported from the upper side.
The accessory, turbine and load coupling compartments are pressurized and
cooled by ventilation fans (FNVF1/2) installed in the pressurized and cooled ven-
tilation ducting after the inlet filter compartment.
The ventilation system consists of two separate fans driven by their respective
motors [88BA-1/2]; one fan provides ventilating air during normal turbine opera-
tion. The other operates as a stand-by fan and starts when, for any reason, the
temperature inside the turbine compartment increases and reaches the set point of
the RTD. For more details, please refer to Figures 16-1 and 16-2.
The ventilating air exits from the turbine and coupling compartments through the
upper opening of each compartment.
Two types of dampers are foreseen for the safety of the ventilation system:
a) gravity dampers, positioned in the filter chamber, held open by the fans of
the ventilation system;
Two set points are provided on each gas detector (set on the control of each gas
detector, located on the UCP), one for 30% LEL (alarm indication on Mark VI
CRT ) and one for 60% of LEL (trip executed by Mark VI panel).
WASHING SYSTEM
CONTENTS SECT
The water washing skid is permanently connected to the gas turbine water
wash OFF or ON line connection and is controlled through a control station
depending on which one has to be performed.
Wash water detergent is pumped from the detergent tank by means of a cen-
trifugal submerged pump.
The washing water tank with a capacity of 1000 lt, is equipped with a 100
mesh filter, air vent, level indicator, pressure gauges and valves.
The wash water tank is provided with an electric heater (23TW-1) that main-
tains water temperature between 65°C and 80°C.
It has a power of 14 kW to permit a short heating time.
OPERATION
CONTENTS SECT
18. OPERATION
It is essential that the turbine operators be familiar with: the information contained
in the following operation text, the Control Specification drawing (consult the
Control System Settings drawing for the index of Control Specification drawings),
the Piping Schematic drawings including the Instrument List, the SPEEDTRONIC
Elementary, the location and use of SPEEDTRONIC panel mounted indicators
and devices.
The operator must also be aware of the power plant devices which are tied into the
gas turbine mechanically and electrically and could affect normal operation.
No starts should be attempted whether on a new turbine of a newly overhauled
turbine until the following conditions have been met:
2. Functionally check the control systems for proper operation before re-
starting.
! WARNING
Monitor exhaust temperature for proper control upon first startup and after any
turbine maintenance is performed. Trip the turbine if the exhaust temperature ex-
ceeds the normal trip level, or increases at an unusual rate. A particularly critical
period for overtemperature damage to occur is during the startup phase before the
turbine reaches governing speed. At this time air flow is low and the turbine is
unable to accelerate away from excess fuel.
Refer to the Control Specifications for actual exhaust temperature control settings.
The thermocouples, identified together with their nomenclature, are on the In-
strument List. The wheelspace temperature readings should be the average read-
ing of at least two thermocouples which are located nearly diametrically opposite
each other in the wheelspace. If there is a good reason to doubt the reading of a
thermocouple, the reading should be rejected. A reading from another thermocou-
ple should be taken (if more than two thermocouples are installed). The faulty
thermocouple should be replaced at the earliest convenience.
When the average temperature in any wheelspace is higher then the temperature
limit set forth in the table, it is an indication of trouble. High wheelspace tempera-
ture may be caused by any of the following faults:
After a turbine overhaul, all orifices should be changed back to their original size,
assuming that all turbine clearances are returned to normal and all leakage paths
are corrected.
! WARNING
Refer to the Instrument List for actual pressure switch settings. Lube oil pressure
in the bearing feed header is a nominal value of 1.7 barg (25 psig). The turbine
will trip at 0.96 barg (14 psig). Pressure variations between these values will re-
sult from entrapped particulate matter within the lube oil filtering system.
The maximum overall vibration velocity of the gas turbine should never exceed
1.0 inch per second in either the vertical or horizontal direction. Corrective action
should be initiated when the vibration levels exceed 12.7 mm per second as indi-
cated on the SPEEDTRONIC panel CRT.
If doubt exists regarding the accuracy of the reading or if more accurate and spe-
cific vibration readings are desired a vibration check is recommended using vibra-
tion test equipment. If a displacement meter is used for taking the vibration read-
ings, use Vibration Analysis Form GL-139 to find the velocity component of the
readings taken at a given speed (or frequency).
The maximum load capability of the gas turbine is given in the control specifica-
tion.
For the upper limits of generator capability, refer to the Reactive Capability Curve
in the operations section of GENERATOR MANUAL Volume.
It is Nuovo Pignone practice to design and build into gas turbines margins of
safety to permit meeting the contract commitments and to secure long life and
trouble-free operation.
It cannot be said, therefore, that these machines cannot be safely operated beyond
the load limits. Such operation, however, always encroaches upon the design mar-
gins of the machines with a consequent reduction in reliability and increased
maintenance. Accordingly, any malfunction that occurs as a result of operation
beyond contract limits cannot be the responsibility of the Nuovo Pignone.
The fact that a generator operates at temperature rises below the Standards does
not mean that it can be properly run with full safety up to these values by over-
loading beyond the nameplate rating. These standards were primarily set up for
the protection of insulation from thermal deterioration on small machines.
The imbedded temperature detectors of the stator register a lower temperature
than the copper because of the temperature drop through the insulation from the
copper to the outside of the insulation, where the temperature detectors are lo-
cated. There are also conditions of conductor expansion, insulation stress, etc.,
which impose limitations. These factors have been anticipated in the "Vee" curves
and reactive capability curves which indicate recommended values consistent with
good operating practice.
The "Vee" curves and reactive capability curves form part of the operating in-
structions for the generator and it is considered unwise to exceed the values given.
The gas turbine-generator sets may require gearing between the gas turbine and
the generator.
Where a reduction (or speed-increasing) gear is required between the gas turbine
and generator, the gear is rated at the maximum capability of the gas turbine, or
the maximum kVA capability of the generator, whichever is less. If the gas-
turbine generator set is operated beyond the maximum rating of the gear, the gear
will also be overloaded with corresponding increased maintenance and reduced
length of life.
The gas turbines are designed mechanically so that within prescribed limits ad-
vantage can be taken of the increased capability over nameplate rating, which is
available at lower ambient temperatures, (because of increased air density), with-
out exceeding the maximum allowable turbine inlet temperature.
When the ambient temperature is lower than that at which the load limit of the gas
turbine is reached, the load must not be permitted to exceed that limit.
Under these conditions, the gas turbine will operate at this load with a lower tur-
bine inlet temperature and the design stresses on the load coupling and turbine
shaft will not be exceeded.
If the turbine is overloaded so that the turbine exhaust temperature schedule is not
followed for reasons of malfunctioning or improper setting of the exhaust tem-
perature control system, the maximum allowable turbine inlet temperature or the
maximum allowable exhaust temperature, or both, will be exceeded and will re-
sult in a corresponding increase in maintenance and, in extreme cases, might re-
sult in failure of the turbine parts.
The exhaust temperature control system senses the turbine exhaust temperature
and introduces proper bias to limit the fuel flow so that neither the maximum al-
lowable turbine inlet temperature nor the maximum allowable turbine exhaust
temperature is exceeded.
The fire protection system, when actuated, will cause several functions to occur in
addition to actuating the media discharge system. The turbine will trip, an audible
alarm will sound, and the alarm message will be displayed on the CRT. The venti-
lation openings in the compartments will close, by a pressure-operated latch and
the damper in the turbine shell cooling discharge will be actuated.
The annunciator audible alarm may be silenced by actuating the alarm SILENCE
switch. The alarm message can be cleared from the ALARM list on the CRT after
the ACKNOWLEDGE DISPLAY FUNCTION switch and the ALARM RESET
switch are actuated only after the situation causing the alarm has been corrected.
The fire protection system must be replenished and reset before it can automati-
cally react to another fire. Reset must be made after each activation of the fire
protection system which includes an initial discharge followed by an extended
discharge period of the fire protection media.
Fire protection system reset is accomplished by resetting the pressure switch lo-
cated on the fire protection system.
Ventilation dampers, automatically closed by a signal received from the fire pro-
tection system, must be reopened manually in all compartments before restarting
the turbine.
! WARNING
Failure to reopen the load coupling compartment dampers will materially reduce
the performance of the generator.
! WARNING
To reduce the possibility of combustion outer casing failure, the operator should
adhere to the following:
2. After a trip from 75% load or above, observe the exhaust on startup for
black or abnormal smoke and scan the exhaust thermocouples for unusually
high spreads. Record temperature spread during a normal startup to obtain
base line signature for comparison. Excessive tripping should be investi-
gated and eliminated.
Operating a turbine with non operational exhaust thermocouples increases the risk
of turbine overfiring and prevents diagnosis of combustion problems by use of
temperature differential readings.
To prevent above described malfunctions the operator should keep the number of
non-operational exhaust thermocouples to a maximum of two but non more than
one of any three adjacent thermocouples.
! WARNING
Adherence to the above criteria and early preventive maintenance should reduce
distortions of the control and protection functions and the number of unnecessary
turbine trips.
! WARNING
If there is an emergency shutdown and the turbine is not turned with the ratchet,
the following factors should be noted:
c. If the unit has been shut down and not turned at all, it must be shut down for
approximately 48 hours before it can be restarted without danger of shaft
bow.
! WARNING
WHERE THE GAS TURBINE HAS NOT BEEN ON RATCHET OPERATION AFTER
SHUTDOWN AND A RESTART IS ATTEMPTED, AS UNDER CONDITIONS (A)
AND (C) ABOVE, THE OPERATOR SHOULD MAINTAIN A CONSTANT
CHECK ON VIBRATION VELOCITY AS THE UNIT IS BROUGHT UP TO ITS RA-
TED SPEED.
IF THE VIBRATION VELOCITY EXCEEDS ONE INCH PER SECOND AT ANY
SPEED, THE UNIT SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN AND ROTATED WITH THE HY-
DRAULIC RATCHET OF A LEAST ONE HOUR BEFORE A SECOND STARTING
ATTEMPT IS MADE.
IF SEIZURE OCCURS DURING THE RATCHET OPERATION OF THE GAS TUR-
BINE, THE TURBINE SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN AND REMAIN IDLE FOR AT
LEAST 30 HOURS, OR UNTIL THE ROTOR IS FREE. THE TURBINE MAY BE
ROTATED AT ANY TIME DURING THE 30 HOUR PERIOD IF IT IS FREE; HOW-
EVER, AUDIBLE CHECKS SHOULD BE MADE FOR RUBS.
) NOTE
THE VIBRATION VELOCITY MUST BE MEASURED AT POINTS NEAR THE GAS TUR-
BINE BEARING CAPS.
5. Where fuel heaters are furnished to heat and circulate fuel oil at low ambi-
ent temperatures to maintain proper fuel oil viscosity.
6. Compartment heating.
*7. Operation of control compartment air conditioner during periods of high
ambient temperature to maintain electrical equipment insulation within de-
sign temperature limits.
*8. Battery charging where applicable.
9. Heating diesel engine cooling water to assure quick starting capability. (Ap-
plicable to diesel engine starting only).
* If supplied.
The following checks are to be made before attempting to operate a new tur-
bine or an overhauled turbine. It is assumed that the turbine has been assem-
bled correctly, is in alignment and that calibration of the SPEEDTRONIC sys-
tem has been performed per the Control Specifications.
A standby inspection of the turbine should be performed with the lube oil
pump operating and emphasis on the following areas:
1. Check that all piping and turbine connections are securely fastened and
that all blinds have been removed. Most tube fittings incorporate a stop
collar which insures proper torquing of the fittings at initial fitting make
up and at reassembly.
These collars fit between the body of the fitting and the nut and contact in
tightening of the fitting. The stop collar is similar to a washer and can be
rotated freely on unassembled fittings. During initial assembly of a fitting
with a stop collar, tighten the nut until it bottoms on the collar. The fitting
has to be sufficiently tightened until the collar cannot be rotated by hand.
This is the inspection for a proper fitting assembly. For each remake of the
fitting, the nut should again be tightened until the collar cannot be rotated.
2. Inlet and exhaust plenums and associated ducting are clean and rid of all
foreign objects. All access doors are secure.
3. Where fuel, air or lube oil filters have been replaced check that all cov-
ers are intact and tight.
4. Verify that the lube oil tank is within the operating level and if the tank
has been drained that it has been refilled with recommended quality and
quantity of lube oil. If lube oil flushing has been conducted verify that all
filters have been replaced and any blinds if used, removed.
6. Check lube oil piping for obvious leakage. Also using provided oil flow
sights, check visually that oil is flowing from the bearing drains. The
turbine should not be started unless flow is visible at each flow sight.
! WARNING
10. Determine that the cooling water system has been properly flushed
and filled with the recommended coolant.
Any fine powdery rust, which might form in the piping during short time
exposure to atmosphere, can be tolerated. If there is evidence of a scaly
rust, the cooling system should be power flushed until all scale is removed.
If necessary to use a chemical cleaner, most automobile cooling system
cleaners are acceptable and will not damage the carbon and rubber parts of
the pump mechanical seals or rubber parts in the piping.
! WARNING
Ensure that following the water system refill that water system piping, primar-
ily pumps and flexible couplings do not leak. It is wise not to add any corro-
sion inhibitors until after the water system is found to be leak free.
11. Turbines having a diesel engine starting means should have the engine
tested using the diesel test pushbutton in the accessory compartment.
12. The use of radio transmitting equipment in the vicinity of the control pan-
els is not recommended. Prohibiting such use will assure that no extrane-
ous signals are introduced into the control system that might influence the
normal operation of the equipment.
13. Check the Cooling and Sealing Air Piping against the assembly drawing
and piping schematic, that all orifice plates between flanges or in orifice
unions are of designated size and in designated positions.
14. At this time all annunciated ground faults should be cleared. It is recom-
mended that units not be operated when a ground fault is indicated. Imme-
diate action should be taken to locate all grounds and correct the problems.
! WARNING
When a unit has been overhauled those parts or components that have been re-
moved and taken apart for inspection/repair should be critically monitored dur-
ing unit startup and operation. This inspection should include: leakage check,
vibration, unusual noise, overheating, lubrication.
Crank
1. Listen for rubbing noises in the turbine compartment and in the reduc-
tion gear compartment especially in the load tunnel area. A soundscope or
some other listening type device is suggested.
Shutdown and investigate if unusual noise occurs.
Fire
1. Bleed fuel oil filters, if appropriate, then check entire fuel system and the
area immediately around the fuel nozzle for leaks. In particular check for
leaks at the following points:
Turbine Compartment
a. Fuel piping/tubing to fuel nozzle
b. Fuel check valves
c. Atomizing air manifold and associated piping (when used)
d. Gas manifold and associated piping (when used)
Accessory Compartment
a. Flow divider (when used)
b. Fuel and water pumps
c. Filter covers and drains
! WARNING
2. Use mirrors to view the sight ports in the combustion chambers to visually
check that each chamber is fired, that the flame is steady and that the
flame zone is centered within the liner. In addition, assure that the cross fire
tube end is not glowing.
Plug and stake sight ports once satisfactory flame conditions are obtained.
3. Monitor the turbine control panel readings for unusual exhaust thermo-
couple temperature, wheel-space temperature, lube oil drain temperature,
highest to lowest exhaust temperature spreads and "hot spots" i.e. com-
bustion chamber(s) burning hotter than all the others.
Automatic, remote
Permit the gas turbine to operate for a 30 to 60 minute period in a full speed,
no load condition. This time period allows for uniform and stabilized heating
of the parts and fluids.
Test and checks listed below are to supplement those recorded in Control
Specification - Control System Adjustments. Record all data for future com-
parison and investigation.
2. Monitor lube oil tank, header and bearing drain temperatures continually
during the heating period. Refer to the Schematic Piping Diagram -
Summary Sheets for temperature guidelines. Adjust VTRs if required.
4. Check and record wheelspace, exhaust and control thermocouples for proper
indication on the CRT.

STORAGE 19.2
1) Verify the number and dimension of the arriving equipments and check the
preservation conditions.
2) Check for any damages or defects, and in positive case notify the Site Re-
sponsible. Take a picture of everything damaged.
19.2 STORAGE
All material arriving at site will be stored in right condition and in appropriate
and codified place.
The heavy equipments installed directly in the final location will be protected
by the adverse conditions using suitable coverings.
Particularly for the turbine package, the internal parts are already protected in
factory, before shipping. in the mentioned way the mentioned units are pro-
tected for a term of six months, if the time of storage will be longer is neces-
sary to provide again to a further protection after an inspection of Nuovo Pig-
none personnel.
For turbine packaged with the enclosure installed on the base is enough to
maintain the doors closed installing inside some heater to avoid the condensa-
tion formation.
For turbine oil reservoir and internal pipes the protection is performed by oil
with an additive anti rust. Before shipping the reservoir will be filled by an
adequate quantity of oil + additive.
The control and electrical boards will be stored in a clean, close and, if possi-
ble, air conditioned ambient, to prevent condensation that may damage the
electronic components and circuits. if not possible the boards will be protected
by a breathable covers.
Piping may be stored externally without specific protection for a period of six
months; if the storage time is longer it. They must be stored under a shed. The
piping will be normally shipped with the external surface painted and plugged
at the extremities.

1. To aid the user in becoming familiar with the unit by separating the in-
spections according to specific systems and, where appropriate, describ-
ing briefly the reason for the inspection and the action to be taken.
A record of the inspections made and the maintenance work performed will
be most valuable in helping to establish a good maintenance program for the
gas turbine unit(s). It is expected that the maintenance program will start
with minor work, and increase in magnitude over a period of time to a major
overhaul, and then repeat the cycle. The performance of inspections can be
optimized to reduce unit outage time and maintenance cost for a particular
mode of operation, and still maintain maximum availability and reliability of
the unit.

2. STANDARD PRACTICES
2.1 GENERAL
At all times when performing work on a Gas Turbine the following general
practices should be observed:
3. Provide an alternate means of fire protection when the Gas Turbine's fire
protection system has been disabled
5. Clean all removed parts and fasteners and store in separate containers,
tagged to simplify reassembly.
(See Gas Turbine Cleaning in this section for cleaning methods)
7. Protect all casing flanges from rust and mechanical damage after re-
moval. Grease, layout dye or commercial rust inhibitors will retard flange
rusting and plywood, masonite, or equal will prevent mechanical damage
8. Deburr mating surfaces and eliminate flange face high spots before as-
sembling any casings.
Carborundum stones and flat mill files are effective for these tasks.
9. Cover all open pipe and tubing. Do not stuff rags in pipes. Sheet metal
or plywood are effective covers for large pipes and duct tape will protect
tubing.
12. Match mark piping, fuel nozzles, couplings and casings to assist in
proper orientation during re-assembly.
13. Observe the following general precautions when the unit is undergoing
major inspection, maintenance checks and taking clearance readings.
B. Parallel bars and feeler stock, when used with proper attention to
detail, provide good measurements.
In order to obtain proper measurement accuracy, the total thickness
of the parallel bar and feeler stock must be measured with a mi-
crometer.
E. Never rotate the unit rotor when the unit is undergoing inspection
and maintenance checks without adhering to the below listed pre-
cautions.
14. To properly tighten new Swagelock stop-collar fittings, snug the nut by
hand after cleaning threads. Then tighten the nut until the stop-collar just
stops turning.

MAINTENANCE CRITERIA
CONTENTS SECT
Maintenance costs and equipment’s availability are two of the most important pa-
rameters for the productivity and profit of a production Plant.
Gas turbine influence on the above parameters is very significant, and therefore it is
necessary to issue a maintenance program based on the following milestones:
The Plant production characteristics and priorities vary in function of the process
and installation features. A compromise between gas turbine maintenance and pro-
duction requirements should be analysed case by case.
Average personnel trade skill is also varying from site to site. Customer should find
the optimum compromise between in house manpower and NUOVO PIGNONE’s
specialist’s intervention, depending on the level of maintenance action to be carried
out.
The major scope of maintenance planning is to reduce the Plant out of production
time to the minimum.
In order to issue the optimum planning, the following factors should be taken in to
consideration:
Ambient conditions
Type of fuel
Loss of production costs due to the turbine shutdown time for inspec-
tion/overhauling
The critical gas turbine parts that require particular care are hot gas path parts
(combustion, stator and rotor blades, etc.).
MS5001 gas turbine is designed and manufactured to withstand severe duty and to
be maintained on site, with off-site specialised Service Shops repair required only
on some of the hot gas path components.
To facilitate the above task, the following major construction features are designed:
Stator blades can be slid circumferentially with upper half casings removed, with-
out rotor removal.
All turbine rotor blades are normally moment-weighed and distributed circumferen-
tially on the turbine wheel by computer charting program, so that no site balance is
generally required in case of blade substitution.
The following sketch shows a schematic picture of how it is possible to access the
inside hot gas parts while gas turbine is in stand-by condition, without opening up-
per casings.
BORESCOPE
The access is possible through holes located in the inspection stations. Figure 8.1
shows an example of inspection ports located near the first stage stator and rotor
blades.
The borescope inspection allows the operator to have a good overview of the blade
status and a good feedback to decide to anticipate or to delay a scheduled overhaul.
After borescope inspection, the relevant port plugs must be reassembled and gas
turbine can be started-up again.
The life of gas turbine hot gas path components depends from the operating condi-
tions.
Nuovo Pignone has defined a reference optimum gas turbine operating conditions,
for which the life of hot gas path components is maximum.
Under the above condition, the parts life is theoretically 100% of the design and the
recommended maintenance inspection intervals are equal to the maximum.
For instance, a maintenance factor equal to 2 means that the scheduled inspection
or overhaul should be carried out two times more frequently than the standard in-
tervals obtained with the above reference operating condition, and so on.
The following paragraphs will describe the criteria used to define the maintenance
factors, necessary to determine the interval between inspection and to issue the
relevant maintenance planning for the MS5001 gas turbine for operating conditions
equal or different from the reference ones.
Continuous duty
Cyclic duty

Figure M.C.2 refers to the hot gas path inspection criteria rectangle, for
which, for continuous service application, under the above mentioned refer-
ence optimum gas turbine operating conditions, the recommended inspec-
tion interval is 24000 operating hours, while for an intermittent service with
high start-up number, the recommended inspection interval is 1200 starts.
For instance, an hours factor equal to 1,5 means that the scheduled inspec-
tion or overhaul should be carried out two times more frequently (in terms
of operating hours) while a starts factor equal to 2, means that the scheduled
inspection or overhaul should be carried out two times more frequently (in
terms of n° of starts) than the standard intervals relevant to the reference
conditions indicated in the top of the above table.

Of course, the same rule applies for the rectangle relevant to the major in-
spection.
The following paragraphs will describe the criteria used to define the main-
tenance factors, called currently M.F., necessary to determine the interval
between inspections and to issue the relevant maintenance planning.
Liquid fuel
Residual
Distillates
Heavy Light Natural gas
Inlet air
Airborne contaminant such as dust, salt and oil mist can cause: ero-
sion, corrosion and fouling in compressor blades. Sodium salt pre-
sent in marine environment may contribute to hot gas path parts cor-
rosion. Effects of contaminants contained in fuel are added to those
of inlet air contaminants.
Operating load
MAINT. FACTOR
PEAK LOAD
Steam injection
This counters the effect of the higher heat transfer on parts life. Such
way to control the machine is called dry control and is the practice
normally used.
M.F. = K + M x I
Where:
Water injection
Water injection impacts turbine blades and nozzles life with the
same mechanism of the steam injection. It may also increase com-
bustion pulsation level.

BORESCOPE INSPECTION
ANNUALLY OR AT COMBUSTION INSPECTION WHICHEVER COMES FIRST
The intervals listed hereafter for combustion, hot gas path parts and major inspec-
tions are referred to operation with: natural gas fuel, normal start/stop and load-
ing/unloading sequence. Combustion inspection intervals are valid for non-DLN
units.

* Liners inspection
** Two combustion intervals for unit operated with heavy or residual fuels.
To take into account the actual operating conditions, the following maintenance
factors must be considered (whichever applicable).
Start factors
• Start up sequence
Hour’s factors
• Fuel
• Steam injection
• Water injection
• Operating load
To evaluate maintenance requirements apply all start factors to the above baseline
start intervals and all hours’ factors to the baseline hour’s intervals.
Whichever start or hours limit is first reached determines the maintenance interval.
The following calculation will show how the operator can determine the mainte-
nance factor to be applied for specific operating application. The above table will
be used for determining the applicable factor for both operating hours and n° of
starts criteria.
Using the rules described in CHAPT. 4, the relevant maintenance factors MFhours to
be applied for the criterion of hours based intervals are the following:
M.F. for above steam injection rate and control = 0,6 + 0,18 x 2,5 = 1,05
And the relevant resultant Maintenance Factor to obtain the hour based inspection
intervals becomes:
Therefore, for example, the major overhaul should be carried out every
48000/1,125 = 42666 hours, that means every 42666/(6000+1000) = ~ 6 years.
Looking to the operating data, however, the high number of starts per year should
suggest the operator to check whether the criterion of number of starts based inter-
vals is more severe. The relevant Mfstart maintenance factor will be applied to cor-
rect the standard starts intervals shown in the table, as follows:
Therefore, for example, the above major overhaul should be carried out, according
this criterion, every 2400/1,64 ∼ 1460 starts, that means every 1460/(100+10) =13,3
years.
All the above means that the criterion of the operating hours interval is more severe
than the one based on the number of starts, so that the recommended maintenance
schedule is as follows:
The same result is obtained using the criterion of the rectangle, by reducing the top
horizontal side by the hour’s factor (1,125) and the right vertical side by the starts
factor (1,64). The rectangle side dimensions becomes (for the same major inspec-
tion example as above):
1460
Starts/year
110
0 7 10 20 30 42666
The line c of figure M.C.5 intersects the right side of the rectangle, which confirms
that the operating hours based limiting criterion is the more severe and should be
applied.
Of course, in case of Plant operation with very high number of starts, for which the
line would intersects the top side of the rectangle, the starts interval criterion in-
stead of operating hours criterion would apply for maintenance planning schedule.
As anticipated in the previous paragraphs, gas turbine system critical parts need to
be inspected to prevent future large damages and to allow operation profit.
To issue a consistent and reliable maintenance program, the following three types
of inspections are recommended:
• Stand-by inspections
• Running inspections
• Shutdown inspections
They are required when the engine is not in operation. During this period of
time, the following items should be checked:
The running inspections are performed during start-up and while the unit is
operating.
This inspection indicates the general condition of the gas turbine unit and its
associated equipment.
The registrations of the data and operating parameters obtained can be used
to further plan the maintenance of the unit.
During unit running, the records of the most important functional parame-
ters will give a good operation trend of the system.
The following table shows a typical checklist of the major gas turbine pa-
rameters recorded. In addition, the control panel systems include the neces-
sary software to record the history of some of the most critical gas turbine
parameters.

For example, by checking the variation of the load versus exhaust tempera-
ture and compressor discharge pressure under the same conditions recorded
previously, the operator is able to determine a possible turbine performances
decrease, and the necessity to carry out a compressor washing.
Similarly, if the shaft vibration level increases, the operator will check im-
mediately whether the relevant spare bearing is available in the plant store
and, if necessary, to buy it immediately in order to save time in case of fu-
ture substitution for failure.
All the up to dated control systems can be equipped with an optional trend
monitoring computer aided system that automatically takes into account the
trending functions for all the critical parameters and gives the necessary
suggestions and corrective actions to be undertaken.
The system is based on the continuous comparison between the “new and
clean” engine condition and the real time engine behaviour, through specific
algorithms for each parameters combination.
• Hot gas path parts inspections (see CHAPT. 5 description for involved
hot gas parts)
• Major inspection/overhaul
This paragraph will describe all the major activities related to the three
above inspection levels, the types of troubles that can be found and the nec-
essary repair and/or substitution activities.
• Fuel nozzles
• Transition pieces
• Spark plugs
• Flame detectors
Flame detectors are checked for eventual electrical damage and car-
bon deposits on the optical surface.
The hot gas path parts inspections area is shown in figure M.C.7.
During this inspection the status of the following gas turbine section
components should be verified and all necessary repair/substitution
is carried out in case of natural gas or light distillate fuel operation:
• Combustion liners
• Transition pieces
In case of heavy or residual fuels, H.G.P inspection intervals become the same as the com-
bustion liners, as described in Chapter 5. This is caused by the more severe corrosion, oxi-
dation and thermal stress of the parts coming from the combustion of these fuels.
For further details of H.G.P. inspection, see Section 6.
• Combustion
• Intake system
• Exhaust system
• Gearboxes
• Driven engine
For the above, a good spare parts planning will reduce the waiting time during the
turbounit reassembly sequence.
It is evident that, under some conditions, the turbounit out of service time would be
unacceptable, in case of some critical parts substitution requirements.
For the above, it is imperative to decide a consistent spare parts procurement pro-
gram, to have all the necessary critical parts spares available at the plant site since
the beginning of any scheduled maintenance inspection.
By ordering the critical parts together to the main equipment purchase order, as
suggested by the NUOVO PIGNONE’s experience, in function of the plant’s op-
eration level.
By issuing a mutual Customer -to- NUOVO PIGNONE After Sales Assistance con-
tract which includes spare parts availability in the NUOVO PIGNONE’s warehouse
at any time during the turbine operating life. This type of contracts is variable case
by case and has different levels of costs, in function of the required level of service.
The choice of the most convenient solution depends on the plant profitability calcu-
lation results, which should include the following parameters:
The determination of the manpower and the relevant times required to carry
out the three levels of inspections depend on the following assumptions:
Scheduled inspection
The average crew size and the number of 8 hour shifts can vary in function
of the level of the process, and could be increased if necessary. NUOVO
PIGNONE specialists can give all the necessary assistance to optimise the
manpower activities.

2. Observe shutdown oil levels for the turbine, atomizing air com-
pressor, atomizing air booster compressor and turning gear. Note
discrepancies, investigate cause, and refill all components to proper
oil levels as required.
The vibration level of the unit should be observed and recorded. Minor
changes in vibration level will occur with changes in operating conditions.
However, major changes in the vibration level or a continuously increasing
trend to increase warrants corrective action.
The fuel system should be observed for general fuel flow versus load rela-
tionship. Fuel pressures through the system should be observed. Changes in
fuel pressure may indicate that fuel nozzle passages are plugged (dirty) or
that fuel metering elements are damaged or out of calibration.
Startup time (when the gas turbine is new) is an excellent reference to which
subsequent operating parameters can be compared and evaluated. A curve
of starting parameters of speed, fuel FSR signal, exhaust temperature, and
critical sequence benchmarks versus time from the initial start signal provide
a good indication of the accuracy of the control system, fuel system, fuel
nozzles, ignition, and combustion system. Deviations from normal condi-
tions help pinpoint impending trouble, changes in calibration, or damaged
components.

the nozzle assembly will be within specified limits. When in-
specting parts, ascertain that there are no dents, burrs and nicks
on any surfaces which will result in an interference on reassem-
bly, or affect fuel flow. Special attention should be given to the
condition of the swirl slots in the fuel nozzle pilot, and the sur-
faces with which the nozzle ring are in contact. If the swirl slots
show any indication of crushing galling or erosion, or if the sur-
faces with which they are in contact are not flat and smooth, the
parts must be replaced. The above inspection applies also to wa-
ter injection spray nozzles.
! WARNING
7. Inspect the outer gas swirl tip and inner fuel nozzle cap for nicks,
scratches, dents and unusual wear. Record findings on Inspection
Field Report.
1. New parts are frequently plastic coated, be sure that all plastic
material is removed before reassembling the fuel nozzle. Ascer-
tain that no plastic material remains lodged on inside surfaces.
5. During reassembly of the fuel nozzle use the torque values speci-
fied on the fuel nozzle assembly drawing.
7. Hold the transition piece lightly, but firmly, in a vise, using two
soft metal blocks of sufficient width and depth to grip the hex of
the transition piece housing in the vise jaws. See Fig. 5-14.
8. Insert the swirl chamber and pilot into the transition piece body,
making sure all parts bottom properly against their seats. See
Fig. 5-14.
10. Screw the retainer into the transition piece. Using a straight hex
wrench, socket, and torque wrench, torque the retainer to the
value specified on the fuel nozzle assembly drawing in the Parts
List and Drawings Volume of this Service Manual. See Fig. 5-14.
11. Using a suitable holding fixture, secure the fuel nozzle body in a
vertical position (bore side up).
13. Carefully install a new gasket into the fuel nozzle body, making
sure that it is seated against the retaining seat in the fuel nozzle
body.

! WARNING
THE FUEL NOZZLE MUST PASS THE FOLLOWING PRESSURE, AIR FLOW,
WATER FLOW, FUEL FLOW AND FUEL GAS TESTS TO ENSURE INTEGRITY
OF ASSEMBLY AND FUNCTION BEFORE BEING RETURNED TO SERVICE OR
STORAGE.
d. Low air flow indicates plugged swirl holes. Excess air flow in-
dicates air leaks caused by burrs or dirt between mating sur-
faces, or erosion beyond acceptable limits, of assembled parts.
a. Install the fuel nozzle assembly in the test fixture (See Fig.
5-18).
c. Check the fuel flow through the fuel nozzle in accordance with
the requirements specified on the fuel nozzle assembly draw-
ing in the Parts Lists and Drawings Volume of this Service
Manual.
d. Excess (rich) fuel flow indicates that the exit orifice and/or the
pilot slots and holes may be too large, or improper pilot as-
sembly, allowing too much oil to pass by the pilot. Low (lean)
fuel flow indicates that the holes and slots in the nozzle may be
plugged or contain burrs which restrict flow.

d. Assemble the ceramic core into the shell and screw the shell
into the piston rod hand tight, center the core electrode and ad-
just the tip to insure gaps of 0.085 - 0.095 inch exist between
the center and side electrodes.
e. Torque the shell to 55-65 ft. lbs. and check the gap between
the shell hex section and the piston rod hex section, this gap
should be between 0.085 and 0.135 inch. Any dimension out-
side this range indicates a probable misassembly and requires a
recheck of the spark plug assembly. See Figure 5.22.
! WARNING
EXERCISE CARE IN MAKING THIS CHECK, DO NOT LET THE PISTON ROD
ASSEMBLY SLAM BACK FROM THE FULL RETRACTED POSITION.
5. Prior to installing the spark plug assembly to the unit, test the
spark plug as follows: reconnect the spark-plug lead, with the
spark plug out of the turbine, but with its body resting against the
turbine casing (or other grounded metal). Make sure the elec-
trode end of the spark plug is not grounded.
! DANGER
6. Energize the ignition circuit and check the spark of the spark plug
for approximately two minutes. If heating occurs at the shell-
piston rod joint, this indicates arcing between the core and ce-
ramic-rod contact. This can be remedied by disassembly of the
sparkplug tip, and cleaning of the core electrical contact. If arc-
ing does not occur at the tip of the electrodes; clean the elec-
trodes and reset the electrode gaps at 0.085 to 0.095 inch between
center and side electrodes. Gaps on either side of the center elec-
trode must be within 0.010 inch of each other, check voltage to
the ignition transformer, and check ignitor lead voltage. Discon-
nect the lead from the ignitor, and arc to ground.
) NOTE
BE SURE THAT THE TIP OF THE LEAD IS WITHIN ONE-HALF INCH OF GROUND
BEFORE IGNITION VOLTAGE IS APPLIED.
7. If no arcing occurs between the lead tip and ground, the trans-
former or the lead are shorted and should be replaced. If arcing
occurs, the ignitor is faulty and should be examined for an open
circuit, short circuit or failure of the terminal extension. A short
circuit can be checked by checking the continuity between the
center electrode and ground. The terminal extension can be visu-
ally inspected for signs of distress.
9. On later vintage spark plugs the piston assembly is one unit and
has a retaining nut which threads onto the top portion of the pis-
ton assembly. If the spark plug is of this vintage weld a tab be-
tween the retaining nut and piston assembly as shown in Fig. 5-
23. The tab material should be AISI chrome nickel steel, bright
annealed, its dimensions should be .060" x .250" x .500". Use
GATW welding process with Filler ER308. In situations where
GTAW welding is not available, stick weld with Weld Electrode
E308-15, E308-16. Upon completion of welding the tab on the
spark plug, check to ensure there is no restriction in the retraction
or extending of the spark plug. Retest the spark plug with igni-
tion voltage.

pare reading with the unit clearance diagram. Record clearances
on Inspection Field Report.
) NOTE
Clearances which are only one or two mils out of tolerance with
all visual inspections normal (no oil leakage), do not require seal
replacements. Rubbed seal teeth should be dressed by scraping
and filed to restore the sealing teeth edges.
2. Lift out both halves of thrust bearing and bearing pads. Identify
and tag parts for reassembly. See Fig. 7-29.
! WARNING
DO NOT ROTATE UNIT WITH THRUST BEARING REMOVED. DOING THIS CAN
CAUSE DAMAGE TO COMPRESSOR ROTOR AND STATOR BLADES.
! WARNING
Before replacing the liner, the cause of the wipe must be deter-
mined and corrected. Some typical causes are the following:
d. Shaft n-misalignment.
11. Measure journal diameter at two planes, fore and aft. Record
these dimensions and the general condition of the journals on In-
spection Field Report.
Roundness and taper are two of the most critical dimensions as-
sociated with a bearing journal. These dimensions are established
with a four-point check taken in the vertical and horizontal planes
(at 90 degrees to one another) at both the forward and aft edge of
the journal. If the journal diameter is 0.002 inch or more outside
of its drawing tolerance and, if the liner-to-journal clearance falls
outside of the drawing tolerances, it may be necessary to
remachine the journal.
TABLE 7-1
) NOTE
14. Inspect thrust bearing surfaces for cracks, wiped babbitt, scoring,
foreign material, pitting, spalling and excessive or abnormal wear
patterns. Report findings on Inspection Field Report.
15. Just as with journal bearings, the babbitt surfaces of the thrust
bearings must be inspected for cracks, chips, scratches, and wip-
ing. Cracks or chips must be repaired by either rebabbitting the
entire bearing or by puddling the defective zone. If puddling is
employed, all babbitt within 0.5-inch radius of the defective zone
must be removed prior to resurfacing.
10. Place the thrust bearing face up on a surface plate. With a dial in-
dicator referenced to the surface plate and zeroed on one corner
of a land, move the indicator to the other three corners of the land
and record the indicator readings. Perform this check on four
lands 90 degrees apart.
For small areas, 180 grit emergy cloth soaked in kerosene can
be employed. Scratches deeper than 0.005 inch require
remachining. If this is done, it is necessary to take runout
checks to ensure perpendicularity between the thrust face and
the bearing journals. It is also necessary to replace the thrust
shim to obtain correct axial clearances.
20. Coat the lower-half No. 1 bearing liner to be installed with clean
turbine oil used in the unit lube system and set the liner on the
journal. Roll the bearing liner carefully into the lower half of the
bearing housing. Restrain the liner from falling into the lower
half.
! WARNING
21. With the lower-half No. 1 bearing liner installed and positioned,
carefully release the rotor support fixture and gently lower the ro-
tor journal to rest on the lower bearing liner.
22. Recover the No. 1 bearing housing to protect the bearing journal
and keep foreign matter out of the housing.
! WARNING
7. Inspect the bearing journal for galling, scoring, pitting and exces-
sive or abnormal wear as described in Operation 44, steps 11 and
12.
10. With the lower-half No. 2 bearing liner installed and positioned,

When the tank is drained of liquid, check that the linkages are free
from binding and the float is in good condition. Make sure the high
and low level switches are set within the limits specified on the Sche-
matic Piping Diagram.
Speedtronic meters
Temperature switches
Thermostats
The temperature control valves (VTRs) are used to regulate the cool-
ing water flow to the lube oil heat exchanger and atomizing air pre-
cooler.
The temperature control point of these valves is preset and should re-
quire no adjustment for normal operation. The control point is set to
control the bearing header lube oil temperature and the atomizing air
pre-cooler discharge air temperature. The temperatures are specified
on the Device Summary of the Schematic piping Diagram for each
system. These temperatures should be maintained during normal op-
eration; however, on hot days, the temperature may be exceeded. An
alarm will sound if the temperatures are exceeded. If the alarm
sounds, check the following:
b. Adequate coolant flow going through the lube oil heat exchanger,
atomizing air pre-cooler and coolant-to-air heat exchanger.
) NOTE
IF SENSING BULB IS REMOVED FOR ANY REASON, MAKE SURE THE BULB TEM-
PERATURE WELL IS FILLED WITH HEAT TRANSFER COMPOUND PRIOR TO REIN-
STALLING THE SENSING BULB.
Valve stem packing nuts should be tightened just enough to stop water
leaks. The valve manufacturer generally states that if the packing nut
is hand tightened, enough force is applied to stop water leakage. Use
of excessive force causes friction between the valve stem and packing.
This results in erratic operation.
Relief valves
Turning the screw into the valve body increases the spring force
(raises opening pressure). The relief valve is set to open at the pres-
sure specified on the Device Summary Schematic piping Diagram.
Annually, all the relief valves listed should be removed and bench-
tested against the settings listed on the Device Summary.
Solenoid valves
If any oil leakage is observed, replace the "O" ring seals. Energize the
solenoid and check valve operation (a metallic click should be heard
and in some cases, the valve travel can be seen).
During a shutdown period, the system has to be drained and the valves
and orifices have to be removed to check for evidence of erosion, cor-
rosion or component deterioration. Check the orifices for plugging,
size and sharpness of the hole. Check the valve seat for leakage.
Check the condition of the seals, "O" rings, or gaskets, and replace
them if there is any indication of wear.
The lube oil system filters should be changed once a year, regardless
of the pressure drop. The pressure drops must be checked under tur-
bine operating conditions, with the lubricant at normal operating tem-
perature, and at rated flow through the filter. In most gas turbine lube
systems, the main lube filter, which filters the lubricant to the main
bearing header, can be checked for clogging by the pressure drop in-
dication. Here, the pressure downstream from the filter is maintained
by a pressure regulating valve, and the difference in the pressures
shown on the gauges before and after the filter will provide a reliable
indication of the filter condition.
The condition of other filters in the lube system, such as the control
fluid filter or hydraulic control pump filter, cannot be determined as
reliably by the pressure drop indication since the flow through these
filters may be very low under steady-state conditions.
It is unlikely, however, that these low-flow filters will foul before the
recommended annual change out of the filter element.
On gas turbines that are expected to run continuously over long peri-
ods of time, dual filter arrangements, with a transfer valve, are usually
incorporated into the lube system to facilitate the servicing of the fil-
ters without turbine shutdown. Systems with single filter arrange-
ments require that the turbine be shut down to service the filter.
Replace the cartridges of the main (low pressure) fuel oil filter when
the pressure differential reaches 20 PSI, or every 12 months, which-
ever occurs first. Follow the procedure listed below:
b. Open the drain and vent valves. (Drain filter thoroughly before re-
moving cartridges).
c. Remove the cover and the old filter cartridges. insert new car-
tridges.
h. Leave the vent valve open to release air, but close when oil ap-
pears.
The hydraulic supply system filter should be changed when the pres-
sure drop across the filter is 5.5 Bar, or once a year, regardless of the
pressure drop.
On gas turbines that are expected to run continuously over long peri-
ods of time, dual-filter arrangements, with a transfer valve, are usually
incorporated into the hydraulic supply system to facilitate servicing of
the filters without turbine shutdown. Systems with single filter ar-
rangements require that the turbine be shut down to service the filters.
Open the filter petcock and drain off all moisture accumulation. If the
amount of moisture appears to be excessive, it is suggested that the
petcock can be left cracked open for a continuous bleed or the fre-
quency of the blowdown inspection be increased.
Air conditioners
Clean dust and dirt from the condenser and evaporative coils. Clean
condensate drip pan. Wash or replace the air filter.
Functionally check the operation of the thermostat and air conditioner.
Space heaters
Check all set screws and bolts for tightness, and mounting security.
DC motors
Also check the commutator at this time for cleanliness and wear.
Check the commutator for roughness while running. This is done by
placing a fiber stick against the brushes and feeling to see if it jumps
during rotation. Check the insulation and windings for contamination,
mechanical defects and temperature defects.
AC motors
Examine the collector rings, brushes, brush holders and studs for
cleanliness and wear. Collector rings should maintain their polished
surface. Brushes should move freely within their holders, but set
firmly in contact with the collector rings. Be sure the pigtail conduc-
tors are securely fastened to the brush holders. Check the insulation
for cleanliness and wear.
Check the vibration of the motor while it is coupled to the pump. The
vibration should not exceed 3 mils. Check the cooling passages and
louvers of the motor to make sure they are clean, undamaged and un-
obstructed.
Lube system
Lube oil pumps
Check the lube oil pumps for excessive vibration. Check the thrust
bearings and bearing seal for wear. Check the clearance of the wear
ring. If wear has increased this clearance to 0.016", the wear ring
should be replaced.
Check the internal tubing and piping of the lube oil tank for peeling of
paint and loose fittings. Check the pipe hangers for loose or missing
hardware. Carefully inspect each pump intake screen (especially on
the main pump) for foreign material and loose hardware. Check the
sludge removed from the bottom of the tank for the presence of un-
usual material. Make sure the inside of the tank is thoroughly clean
before refilling.
General notes
Check for excessive gas leakage at the valve stems, packing leakoff
and vent lines.
If it is suspected that the valve leaks, check the seating surfaces for
damage or foreign material. Contact between the valve and seat must
be checked with the stem in place. Check the rod seals and wipers of
the hydraulic cylinders for leakage and replace them if worn. Check
the gas pre-charge pressure of the accumulator and correct it if re-
quired.
Check the trip relay for cleanliness and freedom of operation. A small
amount of dirt can cause the relay to stick. Disassemble and clean if
necessary. If the movable core on the LVDT appears to be mis-
aligned with the stationary coil and is rubbing the coil, realign it.
For additional information on the fuel gas stop ratio and control valve,
refer to the Service Manual under the Fuel System tab.
General notes
Check the connections at the fuel oil and trip circuits oil lines for evi-
dence of leaking. Check the valve stem for signs of stickiness, slug-
gishness, or failure to move within the time cycles specified in the
Control Specifications. For detailed instructions, refer to the service
manual under the 'Fuel System' tab.
Check the shaft of the main fuel pump for leakage of the seal and re-
place it if necessary. On universal pump units (Roper Pumps), check
the calibration of the fuel pump bypass valve. On Denison Pumps,
check the calibration of the fuel pump stroke, in accordance with the
information in the Control Specifications.
Flow divider
Check the flow divider for unusual noises and external leaks. Check
the output pressure of the flow divider, in accordance with the instruc-
tions in the Control Specifications. Check the fuel flow divider start-
ing motor for cleanliness, dryness and proper operation. Vacuum out
ventilating openings and windings occasionally.
Check the tubing connections around the fuel nozzle selector valve as-
sembly for excessive leakage. Tighten fittings if necessary. Check
the valve for smooth operation of the stem by turning the selector to
all positions. Check for secure mounting of valve.
Check for proper operation of the valve during startup and shutdown.
The valve should not be venting while the turbine is operating. The
valve should start to close at between 19 and 22 psig and fully close at
between 29 and 32 psig. Check the fuel oil and compressor discharge
piping and tubing connections for leakage of oil and air. Check the
condition of the diaphragm in the valve actuator annually and replace
if worn.
Visually inspect the pump for seal leakage at the shaft and mounting
flange. Check the pump for noise and vibration. Check the inlet and
discharge connections for leakage and/or loose connections.
Before reassembly, make sure that all parts are clean and free from
lint or other foreign matter. All parts must be washed in cleaning
fluid,
such as Stoddard solvent (or equivalent). All "O" rings and gaskets
should be clean and carefully examined for cuts and other damage.
Replace all damaged parts.
The air bleed valve(s) should automatically bleed any air present in
the discharge lines as the pump is started. As soon as the system
reaches 35 PSI and a steady stream of oil is present, the valve should
close.
General notes
Loss of cooling air to various parts of the machine may cause hot
wheel spaces, insufficient casing cooling or reduction in bearing seal-
ing air pressure. Small leaks or restrictions may result in loss of ma-
chine performance or reduction in life of nozzle, buckets and wheels.
Large leaks or restrictions may result in complete machine failure and,
in case of sealing air, bearing oil leaks and fire if an ignition source is
present.
Piping system
Using the Cooling and Sealing Air piping Schematic as a guide, check
that all orifice-flange-plates are in their respective locations. If not al-
ready done, it may be wise to identify the orifice size on the tab of the
plate and locate the tab in the most convenient and accessible location
for viewing when assembled. When union orifices are used, verify
that the orifice is in position in the union by the tab protruding
through the hole.
Remove the air connection from the valve, spray the lubricant into the
actuator and exercise the valve several times.
General Notes
Gears and gear-end bearings are oil splash lubricated. Filling the gear
case with the amount of oil shown will bring the oil level to about half
covering the sight glass. Add more oil if necessary to bring the level
to half of the sight glass. Do not overfill. Keep sight glass clean. DO
NOT OPERATE BLOWER UNLESS OIL SHOWS IN THE SIGHT
GLASS.
Use any good heavy-duty motor oil with foam depressant and oxida-
tion inhibitor.
Temperature Viscosity
Check gear case oil level daily. Change oil every 100 to 1000 hours
of operation or more often if dust and moisture conditions are severe.
Gear case should be flushed with clean solvent every four oil changes.
Inlet end bearings are grease lubricated at the factory. Regrease bear-
ings every 250 hours of operation. Use a good grade of high-
temperature ball bearing grease suitable for bearing operating tem-
peratures to 300°F.
A zerk fitting is located in the bearing carrier for each bearing and a
pressure relief fitting is located on each bearing cover. These fittings
should be cleaned of all dirt and foreign material before lubricating
bearings. With pressure or hand gun, fill bearing cavity with grease
until it begins to come out of grease relief fitting.
Early models do not have zerk fittings for grease gun lubrication. On
these blowers, remove bearing covers, remove old grease and repack
every 250 hours of operation.
Servicing the air filters is one of the most important maintenance op-
erations to be performed to ensure long compressor life. Servicing fre-
quency must be established by the user depending on dirt and mois-
ture conditions, as well as type of filter used. After compressor is put
into operation, inspect the filter frequently to establish regular mainte-
nance intervals.
Periodic Service
There are two vent holes in each bearing carrier. Each hole connects
the space between the shaft air seal and the lip-type bearing oil seal
with the atmosphere. The vent bleeds the controlled leakage of air
from the shaft air seal to atmosphere. More air will bleed through the
discharge end holes since the discharge end is at a higher pressure
than the inlet end. Inspect vent holes for obstruction by foreign mate-
rial. Plugged vents may cause pressurization of oil sump and blow oil
through the oil sump breather-filter.
Water coolers should be checked for water to air side leakage every
three months.
Air Separators
Starting motor
The interior and exterior of the motor should be kept free from dirt,
oil, and grease. Oily vapor, debris or dust may build up and block off
ventilation, leading to overheating of the windings. Conducting dust
shortens creepage distance, penetrates windings, and causes short cir-
cuits and grounds. Hard, sharp dust roughens insulation and shortens
its useful life as the dust is driven past vulnerable surfaces by ventila-
tion air. Cast-iron dust is a vicious enemy of insulation because it is
Starting clutch
Visually inspect the spline and clutch jaws for signs of uneven wear,
nicks, burrs, or other physical damage. Inspect the hydraulic cylinders
or leakage.
Inspect the linkage, pins and hardware for security. Check the clear-
ances of the clutch jaws in the engaged and disengaged positions.
Check the limit switch to see that the switch is operating at the proper
setting.

b. Turbines operating on dual fuel should have the pressure and type
of fuel recorded. Pressure levels with the same fuel should remain
steady. Levels can be significantly different between gas and liq-
uid fuels.
Check the overspeed trip assembly for quick and positive trip action
and smooth reset capability. Manually trip and reset the device
monthly. In addition, the complete overspeed protection system
should be tested annually as required by the Turbine Control Specifi-
cation. For detailed instructions of the complete system check, see the
paragraph below under Overspeed Bolt Assembly.
! WARNING
Check the circuits of the overspeed trip switch for electrical continu-
ity. Test the dielectric with a "megger" from the switch terminals to
the ground connections. Manually check the switch operation near the
center of the trip travel. If the internal parts of the switch are defec-
tive, the switch must be replaced.
The latch surfaces of the pilot valve and trigger should be inspected
for excessive wear. The actual surface in contact should be between
0.025 and 0.065 inch. A slight chamfer on the pilot valve can be tol-
erated, provided the actual surface engagement is within the above
limits.
With the overspeed trip mechanism tripped and the trigger against its
stop, check that the trip rod end of the trigger clears the shaft by at
least 0.25 inch.
Any condition of the overspeed trip assembly which may affect the
operation of the device and cannot be rectified, should be referred to
the Nuovo Pignone Field Service Representative for disposition.
) NOTE
manually depressing the plunger several times through its stroke lim-
its, and retested. The overspeed bolt should then trip three successive
times within one percent of nominal trip speed and with one percent
repeatability (unless otherwise defined in the Control Specification).
) NOTE
Do not keep the turbine in service unless it is known that the over-
speed bolt, overspeed trip assembly, fuel stop valves and other shut-
down devices are reliable.
If trip does not occur within acceptable limits, adjust the bolt accord-
ing to the instructions below. If three successive trips do not occur
within acceptable repeatability limits, the bolt should be replaced.
At least three overspeed trips should be made after any disassembly,
or readjustment of the overspeed bolt. This is to assure that the bolt
was not damaged or contaminated during reassembly.
) NOTE
When speed counters are used, the counting and display time must be
rapid enough to match the increase in turbine speed. Otherwise, the
acceleration in turbine speed must be at a slow enough rate to give
successive speed readings on the counter to within 5 rpm of the pre-
ceding readings.
1. Bring the gas turbine shaft speed up to the trip speed slowly.
! WARNING
2. Note the speed at which the overspeed bolt operates. If the trip
does not operate within the limit specified, readjust the pre-load on
the spring and overspeed bolt.
1. Use the special wrench provided. Turn the spring seat clockwise to
increase, and counterclockwise to decrease the trip speed setting.
) NOTE
HIGH PRESSURE OVERSPEED BOLT = ONE TURN (360 DEGREES) WILL CHANGE
THE TRIP SPEED APPROXIMATELY 157 RPM. LOW PRESSURE OVERSPEED BOLT
= ONE TURN (360 DEGREES) WILL CHANGE THE TRIP SPEED APPROXIMATELY
630 RPM.
2. A trial run should be made to check the trip setting. If the spring
seat is locked in the overspeed bolt sleeve by staking or penning,
the original staking of the spring seat may be sufficiently tight for a
trial run.
If the trip speed does not fall within the required limits, make a fur-
ther adjustment and repeat the trail run as described.
3. When the correct trip speed is obtained, stake the spring seat firmly
into the slots of the sleeve.
! WARNING
4. Since burrs or binding, caused by the final locking and staking op-
eration, may affect the final setting, the overspeed bolt trip must be
checked again.
) NOTE
Even though the overspeed bolt assembly has been pretested, the trip
speed setting must be checked with the turbine running and if neces-
sary, readjusted to the specified setting. This check is due to machin-
ing tolerances and temperature and vibration effects on the shaft and
bolt assembly. A machining error, of as little as 0.001 inch in the lo-
cation of the shoulder in the overspeed bolt hole, could cause a low, or
high, trip speed. This would depend upon whether the error permitted
the center of gravity of the overspeed bolt to be closer to, or farther
away from, the shaft center line.
Flame detectors
! WARNING
1 With the detector amplifier power on, verify base wiring po-
larity at the sensor junction box by reading 290 VDC (MIN.)
across lead pair.
2. Turn power off and connect the black detector lead to plus
(+) and the white lead to minus (-).
Scanner lens
The scanner lens should be cleaned with a dry cloth as often as neces-
sary on a regular schedule. No repair of any sort should be attempted
on the scanner, or switch assembly. If damaged , or defective, it
should be replaced and returned to the factory.
Magnetic pickups
The clearances between the O D of the toothed wheel and the tip of
the magnetic pickup should be checked annually and at each removal
and installation. The clearances should be within the limits specified
in the Control Arrangement Drawing, Model List Item 0501 or the
Device Summary.

Relay contacts
Contact cleaning
The relay contact(s) must be clean and free from dust to energize the
load device. The main source of problems with relays is dirty load
contacts. Many industrial relays are furnished with a dust-tight cover.
Open-type relays, particularly in a dust-laden atmosphere, should be
cleaned at regular intervals. The removable contact carriage should
also be checked for mechanical freedom and alignment with the sta-
tionary contacts. It is applicable to MARK VI; they have relay on
digital exit.
Silver contacts oxidize more slowly than copper ones and form a self-
reducing oxide. Filing is, therefore, not recommended, since it can
completely destroy the silver contact's usefulness.
Contact arcing
Remove dust, dirt, grease, and oil accumulated on, or in the control
panel. Remove heavy dirt, or dust with stiff brush. Vacuum or blow
out dry, or light dust with dry compressed air (low pressure). Clean-
ing fluid, such as trichloroethylene, can be used to remove oil or
grease.

! DANGER
Battery
Distilled (or approved) water should be added with a battery cell filler
when the electrolyte level is low.
When checking the specific gravity of the electrolyte, correct the read-
ing to 77°F in order to read 1.230/1.250 for a 56-cell battery, or
1.200/1.220 for a 60-cell battery. Deviations from these readings indi-
cate a partially charged battery.
Check and record the temperature of each pilot cell. If the specific
gravity readings are more than 20-30 points, or if repairs to the covers
or containers are indicated, make repairs immediately.
Battery charger
Clean the charger panel of all dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner or
with low-pressure, dry, compressed air. Every six months, check the
floating voltage on the charger panel voltmeter, using a portable stan-
dard voltmeter. If necessary, adjust the panel voltmeter to agree with
the standard by using the zero adjustment.
cuit breaker and disconnect the battery from the charger. All capaci-
tors in the charger will then bleed to zero voltage. Second, isolate the
capacitor to be tested, and with an ohmmeter on its highest scale (ap-
ply the test prods to the capacitor terminals). If the capacitor is good,
it will show a definite meter deflection, followed by a decay to zero.
If it is bad, it will show meter deflection but no decay, or it will show
no deflection at all.
To detect faulty diodes, disconnect the ac and the battery from the
charger. Then, with an insulated screw driver, short circuit each indi-
vidual capacitor. For each transformer in the charger, disconnect one
of the secondary windings. With the ohmmeter, measure the resis-
tance across each diode in both directions. Place one prod on the
positive and one on the negative rectifier terminals; note the resis-
tance, then reverse the prods and again note the resistance. If the two
resistances are about the same, either high or low, the diode is faulty
and should be replaced. A good diode will show high resistance in
one direction and low resistance in the opposite direction
Circuit breakers
Check the circuit breakers for physical damage to the switching unit.
Check the switching unit for accumulation of dust, dirt and the secu-
rity of all connections.
Check the magnet mating surfaces and assure they are free from dust,
dirt, oil and grease. Check the silver contacts for wear. If the silver
tip is worn, and the contact tip support is exposed, replace the con-
tacts. DO NOT FILL THE SILVER CONTACTS to clean off projec-
tions, nicks, scratches, etc.
Magnetic relays
Check the contact surfaces for cleanliness, dirt, dust oil and grease,
etc. Check the silver contacts for wear and replace them before the
silver is completely gone. DO NOT FILE THE SILVER CONTACTS
to clean off projections, nicks, scratches, etc.
Inspect the arc chute for physical damage. Check the arcing horn
clearances. Check the armature spring adjustments, contact force, tie
gaps and wires.
Inlet screen
Inertial separators
Media pre-filters
The most accurate method to determine when the media requires re-
placement is to measure the increase in restriction due to contaminant
buildup through this section. To determine this, the unit should be
operated with only clean high efficiency filters installed. The differ-
ential pressure should be measured and recorded. This is now the
combined pressure drop across all stages of filtration. When the pres-
sure gauge shows an increase in pressure loss corresponding to the
manufacturer's recommendation, the pre-filters shall be removed and
discarded.
Prior to installing new pre-filters the pressure loss across the high ef-
ficiency filters should be recorded and compared with the original the
above procedure should be repeated until the pressure drop across the
! DANGER
The media pre-filters may be changed while the gas turbine is operat-
ing. When performing this operation:
1. Observe warning listed above.
2. Remove all loose items from pockets, secure eyeglasses and hard
hats.
3. Remove the pre-filters, starting with the top row of filters.
4. Remove all dirty pre-filters and then begin installation of clean fil-
ters.
5. Clean filters should be installed with the bottom row of filters.
The high efficiency filters are located downstream of the inertial sepa-
rators and comprise the last stage of filtration. They have efficiencies
of approximatively 99.7% on a.c. fine test dust. The most accurate
method to determine when the media requires replacement is to meas-
ure the increase in restriction due to contaminant buildup through this
section. To determine this, the unit should be operated with only clean
high efficiency filters installed. The differential pressure should be
measured and recorded. This is the combined pressure drop across all
stages of filtration.

Inspect the inlet guide vanes for corrosions pitting. Pay special atten-
tion to the fillet area of the inlet guide vane. If pitting is seen in this
area, it may be assumed that there is also pitting on the underside of
the vane/platform junction. Liquid penetrant inspection should be
made in the fillet area.

The gas turbine after having been tested in factory, is inspected, cleaned up and
sealed according to the ITN02175.12 (preservation of the Gas Turbine and its
accessories for shipment and storing) enclosed herein.
The structural work packed according to ITN02175.04 (preservation of the me-
tallic carpentry for shipment and storing) enclosed herein.
The components of the gas turbine suction systems (filter chambers, ducts and
conveyor) must be in conformity with the packing, shipment and assembly
rules contained in document SOM44953/4 (Prescription for storing, shipping
and assembling the Gas turbine suction systems) enclosed in the following.
The machine and its auxiliary components are therefore sent with the above
protections installed.
When possible, reinstall the discharge and suction covers complete with their
guards after having reinserted the VPI bags according to the instructions given
on paragraph 3.3 of ITN02175.12
In order to preserve bearings and the lubrication system, oil must be circulated
in the turbogroup two hours weekly.
Every month, turn the rotor by 90° manually or by starting the ratchet, if in-
stalled.
If available, switch on the heaters inside the cabinet.
If the gas turbine must remain in conditions of “ready to start” for long periods
(more than one month), it will be necessary to carry out the following opera-
tions:
• Twice a month, start up the turbocompressor at its minimum load and keep
it in this condition for one hour. Before doing this in a Gas Turbine drag-
ging a Centrifugal Compressor, make sure that the process gas can be
cooled and that the Centrifugal Compressor delivery temperature never ex-
ceeds 150°C.
• In the Generator Drive unit with single-shaft Gas turbine (and with double-
shaft gas turbines, after ascertaining that the load provided is sufficient to
guarantee the stability of the low pressure shaft), it is necessary twice a
month to make the turbo-unit run for one hour in conditions of Full Speed
No Load.
If the gas turbine has to remain inactive for long periods (more than 6 months),
it will be necessary to disconnect the machine from the discharge and suction
systems and to protect it, its auxiliary components and the discharge and suc-
tion systems according to the instructions given in previous paragraphs.

DECOMMISSIONING 11.2
During operation, the Turbine produces various exhaust gases due to combus-
tion, being approximately: 15% O2, 6% H2O, 2.5% CO2, N2 for the rest; and
also minimal quantities of polluting substances, due to the type of fuel em-
ployed, are present.
When the fuel employed is a natural gas the main polluting substances are ni-
tric oxides (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO).
Turbine combustion chambers have been designed to reduce to a minimum
the formation of such oxides by acting on the mixing of fuel and air and by
means of low flame temperature combustion (weak combustion).
Generally, nitric oxides tend to increase (also in percentage) with the turbine
power, while carbon monoxide (CO) acts in the opposite way. Carbon mon-
oxide, in fact, is less significant than NO but it remarkably increases in low
load conditions (inferior to 30%) and for this reason it is necessary, if possi-
ble, to avoid running in such conditions.
Sulfur oxides (SO) derive from sulfur present in fuel and generally gas oil
contains more sulfur than other fuels.
Besides exhaust gases, other emissions are oil vapors due to the lubricating
liquids used.
Once the plant is operational and during its whole life, the maintenance of
emissions within levels indicated by relevant applicable regulations is the re-
sponsibility of the user, who must follow instructions given herein after:
Waste, resulting from maintenance operations, must be stored and treated ac-
cording to local applicable law and by referring, if necessary, to the safety
card of the product itself. This concerns lube oils in particular and the associ-
ated filters in order to prevent any personal and environmental risks.
11.2 DECOMMISSIONING
Reduce the material for disposal to the minimum by reutilization and recy-
cling (according to the relevant local applicable laws and regulations). GE Oil
& Gas Nuovo Pignone is specialized in the recovery, reconditioning and re-
utilization of machines.
- Recover oils and other liquids from the respective tanks/circuits and dispose of
them according to local applicable laws and regulations.

Cooldown
Cooldown phase starts after flame loss detection and machine stop; it is the time period during which the
machine is cooled and the lube oil is provided using auxiliary pump or emergency pump (only if auxiliary
pump is damaged or the MKVIe is powered off).
Cooldown sequence is enabled by the MKVIe two seconds after loss of flame in combustion chamber
(L28FDZ software signal is false). This timer is started as soon as the shaft is detected at zero speed
(L14HR internal MKVIe software signal) and remains active for total cooldown duration of 10 hours.
Cooldown end is detected by software signal L62CD, generated by MKVIe logic after receiving the ZSL -
300 (33HR1), HYDRAULIC RATCHET LIMIT SWITCH signal.

speed that is 95% of rated speed (L14HSX is true). After that, the main mechanical lube oil pump
becomes sufficient to provide the needed oil pressure by itself.
Manual control
If lube oil tank level is not low (L71QL_W software signal and LAL-301 alarm are not raised), auxiliary
pump can be manually started from the HMI with L43QA_CMD command. If manual manual operation is
de-selected, the pump returns under automatic control and can be stopped as described above.

DEVICE SUMMARY
The fan is also started if the following conditions are all verified:
Lube oil heaters ON command (L4QTX software signals that generates XS -145 (4QT-1) , XS -147 (4QT-
2), hardwired commands sent to the MCC)
Normal temperature in oil tank (L26QN_W software signal).
ITEM
2 GENERAL REVISION
DEVICE SUMMARY
Each heater command [l4qt1-4 software signals 4QT-1-4 are hardwired signals] can be also singularly
cutout if the associated switch [l26qth1\2\3 & 4; detects over-temperature and the lube oil tank level low
alarm is raised (LAL-301). In this condition, a single switch cutout command is repeated to the MCC
through one of the l4qt1\2\3 & 4_c software signals [contacts open on cutout].
If over-temperature is detected by at least one lube oil tank heater switch, L26QTH_ALM software alarm is
generated.
Alarms
If lube oil tank temperature is found below a third threshold K26QN (typically 20°C), signal L26QN_W
drops down and software alarm L26QN_ALM, related to TAL-307 P&Id alarm, is generated.
ITEM
2 GENERAL REVISION
DEVICE SUMMARY
SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
When the lube oil cooler main fan is running, the stand-by fan is started if the lube oil header temperature
LTTH1_W reaches the stand-by fan starting value K26QFCH.
The fan is then stopped if LTTH1_W value decreases below the stand-by stop value K26QFCL.
After its stop, the stand-by fan can’t be restarted until K4QFCS_INH_R (typically 120s) time is elapsed.
Similarly, Stand-by stop is not permitted for K4QFCS_INH_S (typically 240s) from its start.
ITEM
2 GENERAL REVISION
In case of failure of two out of the three lube oil header thermocouples, a backup start/stop logic is
provided: regardless of main fan state, the stand-by fan is started and then stopped when the failure
condition is no more detected.
The standby cooling fan can only be started during machine running or during the cooldown period.
Every time the cooler fan motor is detected running by the feedback (l52qfc1÷3), the cooler fan high
vibration alarm is inhibited for the time K52QFCZ (10s), by energizing the XY -200 (20QFC-1) , XY -201
(20QFC-2) , XY -202 (20QFC-3) remote reset (l4qfc1÷3_inh software outputs).
The cooler fans start and stop according to the current main/stand-by/auxiliary state and their respective
start/stop logic.
While the auxiliary fan is selected manually by the operator, the main and the stand-by fans are selected
by internal changeover logic:
Auxiliary selection change cause main and stand-by change preserving cyclic order;
Main/stand-by are exchanged each time the stand-by fan is required to run (inversion of cyclic order);
If the running fan becomes the auxiliary or stand-by one and has to be stopped, its stop is delayed of 10
seconds;
The changeover doesn't activate auxiliary fan running alarm L52QFC_ALM;
If changeover is done when all fans are running or stopped, nothing changes except the selection.
Manual control
Every lube oil cooler fan can be controlled in manual mode. When manual mode is selected, each cooler
fan maintains its previous status and the summarized software alarm L43QFC_ALM is generated.

DEVICE SUMMARY
SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
Hydraulic oil system takes oil from lube oil system. Oil pressure is increased by the mechanically driven
pump PH-1. PH-1 delivery pressure is controlled by PCV -320 (VPR3-1) regulator.
The auxiliary pump PH-2, driven by an AC electric motor 88HQ, provides necessary oil pressure during
startup and shutdown phases. Moreover, during turbine normal operation, it provides a backup function on
main pump PH-1.
Relief valves PSV -318 (VR-22) &PSV -321 (VR-21) are provided respectively at PH-1and PH-2 delivery
to protect the system against overpressure.
FH1-1 and FH1-2 twin filter system supplies clean oil to the downstream equipment. High differential
pressure across filters is detected by differential pressure trasmitter PDT -323 (96HF-1) .
Hydraulic oil pressure is monitored by pressure trasmitter PT -324 (96HQ-1) installed downstream the
filtration system.
ITEM
2 GENERAL REVISION
If cutout condition is not active, during startup the auxiliary pump starts when the turbine start sequence is
activated. It continues to operate until the HP shaft reaches minimum operating speed. From this point,
the main mechanical hydraulic oil pump will provide the necessary oil pressure.
Manual control
If cutout condition is not active, auxiliary pump can be manually started. If manual operation is deselected,
the pump returns to automatic control.
Alarms logic
If hydraulic oil pressure is detected low by PT -324 (96HQ-1)for more then typically 3s, alarm is generated
if following conditions are all verified:
Above crank speed
After start passed and before shutdown
Alarm is also disabled 1.5s after that operative speed is reached to account for the stop of auxiliary pump.
If hydraulic oil filter differential pressure is detected high by PDT -323 (96HF-1) .for more then typically 1s,
alarm is generated.
ITEM

SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
Starting system provides necessary torque to drive the gas turbine to its self-sustaining speed, at which
the energy produced by the HP turbine expansion equals the energy required by the compression.
The system consists of the AC three phase electric motor 88CR-1, a torque converter and a Self
Synchronizing Starting (SSS) clutch.
Torque converter, connected between electric motor and turbine HP shaft through the SSS clutch, is
provided to modify torque features of the motor to fit the starting requirements.
The variable orifice assembly FCV -330 (20TU) is installed on the torque converter drain. The torque
converter drain flow can be modified, through the solenoid valve FCV -330 (20TU), to match the
cranking/firing speed. The oil flow is also adjustable through a manual variable orifice for calibration
purposes.
The clutch limit switch ZSL -304 (33CS-1) is installed in order to detect the engaged status.
If motor feedback is detected but HP shaft doesn’t overcome zero speed within 30 seconds, trip and alarm
are generated (sequence aborted).

The hydraulic ratchet system provides:
breakaway torque to the unit shaft during unit startup;
slow rotations during unit cool down in order to avoid shaft bowing due to non-uniform heat radiation from
turbine casings combined with rotor weight;
slow rotations during long-term storage periods.
The sequence described is used to build ratchet pump 88HR command XS -104 (4HR) and starting
clutch engage valve open command FV -326 (20HR-1) .The two ratcheting commands are generated at
the same time by the same logic. The clutch engaged is detected by limit switch ZSL -304 (33CS-1) signal
that cause the cranking motor to start.

SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
A thermocouple signal is detected faulty when at least one of the following conditions are verified:
Thermocouple output is out of range (-26.5°C, 649°C);
Signal fault detected by hardware diagnostic.
If a thermocouple signal is detected faulty, its value is discarded and temperature value is given by the
other thermocouple on the same section.
If two thermocouple signals on the same section are faulty for more then 10s, alarm signal
L30WSAF_ALM is generated and shutdown sequence is started (L30WSA_SD).
ITEM

DEVICE SUMMARY
SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
If a sensor signal reaches its trip level and maintains this value for more than LK39TTD (typically 0.5s)
while a second sensor value is above alarm level, trip L39VT and alarm L39VT_ALM are generated
(VAHH-209, VAHH-210 P&Id alarms).
Trip signal L39VT is latched and can be reset with master reset command from the HMI.
If the difference between the two signals of a pair of sensors is higher than the threshold LK39DIFF for
more than LK39DFTDT (typically 0.5s), software alarm L39VDIFF_ALM is generated.
If at least one sensor fault is detected for more than LK39FTD time (typically 500ms), alarm L39VF_ALM
is generated.
When two or more sensors are disabled or detected above alarm threshold, if at least one enabled sensor
reaches the trip level for more than LK39TTD (typically .5s), trip L39VT and alarm L39VT_ALM are
generated.
If three sensors are faulty or disabled, inhibit to start signal L39VD3 is generated. Also, L39VD3_ALM
alarm is generated if master protective signal L4 is low (starting condition).
If two paired sensors are faulty or disabled, L39VD2 shutdown signal and L39VD2_ALM alarm are
generated.

SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
Ventilation fan ready to run (L3BT)
The Turbine enclosure ventilation fan ready to run status flag (L3BT) shall be set if all the following
conditions are satisfied:
The turbine enclosure inlet fire damper is fully open(33ID-1, 33ID-2)
The turbine enclosure outlet fire dampers are fully open (33OD-1, 33OD-2)
This condition is checked at the automatic start of fans and enables manual operation.
If cutoff condition is verified, the running fans are stopped, regardless any manual or automatic request.
2 GENERAL REVISION
When auxiliary fan start conditions are not verified, the fan is stopped if one of the following conditions is
true:
K4BTON (typically120 min) after flameout (L28FDX is false)
Manually by HMI pushbutton (L43BT1÷2S_CPB command)
- From MCC drawers
Switchover Sequence
A switchover event is defined as an automatic or manual change of the fan selected to run.
An automatic switchover to Stand-by is requested (L2BT) if the main fan has a decrease in performance,
sensed by low enclosure differential pressure (L63BT).
At automatic switchover, the Stand-by fan starts immediately and the main fan is kept running for a
switchover delay time (typically 10 s), and than is stopped.
If the stand-by fan is running due to an automatic switchover, than the stand-by fan running alarm is
activated (L52BT_ALM) and further automatic switchover are disabled.
If low alarm persists after a changeover, shutdown is generated.
After the automatic switchover to stand-by, if the operative differential pressure has been recovered, after
proper inspection of main fan failures, the operator can reset the stand-by running alarm, by selecting as
main the running fan through L43BT_CMD command.
Note that if otherwise the operative differential pressure has not been recovered, acting on L43BT_CMD
doesn’t cause the stand-by alarm reset but causes a manual switchover to new selected stand-by fan.
The operator can force a manual fan switchover through HMI pushbutton L43BT_CMD.
If the operator requests a (manual) fan switchover when the main fan is running, than the new selected
main fan starts immediately and the deselected fan continues to run for the switchover delay time, than is
stopped. Manual fan switchover does not activate any stand-by fan running alarm.
If the operator requests a manual fan switchover when both fans are running or both are stopped, nothing
changes except the main vs. stand-by fan selection.

2 GENERAL REVISION
DEVICE SUMMARY
Generator fans are started and generator heaters are stopped at generator breaker closure.
On the opposite side, generator fans are stopped, and generator heaters are started when generator
breaker opening occurs.
Cooling fans are designed for continuous operation. It is sufficient to have two of the three cooling fans in
service to provide generator full output power; this is the reason why, during normal operation, two
o
generator fans are activated, while the third one (auxiliary fan) starts only if a threshold of 95 C is reached
by TE -371 (A26GAC1) , TE -372 (A26GAW) , TE -373 (A26GAC2) output values (a26bg1, a26bg2,
a26bg3 software signals).
The auxiliary fan is selected by the operator and is started when one high temperature alarm between
TAH-371, TAH-372, and TAH-373 is displayed.
When the high temperature alarm condition is reset, the auxiliary fan remains running and can be stopped
manually by the operator from HMI or MCC. If auxiliary fan is started an alarm is generated. During normal
GT operation, the operator can choose a different auxiliary fan, starting it and stopping one of the previous
selected main fans; anyway two of three cooling fans are always required in service.
The generator is also equipped with four anticondensate heaters 23EG-1-4 which are switched on after
the cool-down period (L62CD) and during off line water washing sequence and switched off on flame
detected.<4>

DEVICE SUMMARY
SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
On the HMI synchronization display, the the following operating modes are available:
OFF This selection disables all MARK VIe synchronizing functions. This selection is forced if GCPP
manual synchronization is enabled.
AUTO This selection enables the automatic synchronization using the MKVIe internal functions; it is set
to true if GCPP permissive –XS -202 (GCPP-AUTO) - is true.
With auto-synchronization selected, when the turbine shaft speed is detected equal to minimum operating
speed (95% of rated speed), the signal XS -212 (41FX) – “EXCITATION ENABLED 95% SPEED” is sent
from MARK VIe to the GCPP and then replicated from this panel to the GEP. If all the following
synchronization permissive conditions are satisfied, turbine shaft speed reference is set to 100.3 %:
Generator breaker open status (software signal L52GX is false);
BUS reference voltage fault not detected (software signal l8vtb1 is false);
AVR reference voltage fault not detected (software signal l8vtavr is false);
Metering reference voltage fault not detected (software signal l8vtm is false);
Protections reference voltage fault not detected (software signal l8vtp is false);
AVR Automatic mode selected (software signal l43avr is true);
AVR Local mode not selected (software signal l43avrlc is false);
Field contactor closed (software signal l41x is true);
Complete start sequence ended (L3 is true)
Automatic synchronizing permissive (l3gg is true)
See also section 2.6.
When 100.3% of turbine rated shaft speed is reached, the unit is ready to synchronize.
Upon “ready to synchronize” condition detection and “Start Autosync” HMI pushbutton activation,
generator breaker closure command XS -215 (25) is sent from the MKVIe to the GCPP.
Speed and voltage matching permissive signal raise is required to allow circuit breaker closing command
to be sent; this permissive signal is obtained as a cumulative signal composed of:
Synchronization permissives;
Software signal L3SVL notifying that bus voltage is between 95 and 105 % of rated voltage;
Software signal displaying that generator frequency differs less than 1Hz from rated frequency;
Software signal displaying that line frequency differs less than 1Hz from rated frequency.

The voltage-matching algorithm generates raise/lower signals l83rv/l83lv, sent by the MKVIe to the GCPP
voltage regulator XS -213 (83-RV), XS -214 (83-LV) hardwired signal).
The speed-matching algorithm generates raise/lower signals used to change turbine speed reference.
Speed matching is designed to bring the generator frequency slightly (0.15 Hz) above the line frequency.
The generator breaker is closed when the synchro-check contact is closed.
After generator breaker closure, the MKVIe increases the quantity of fuel provided to the turbine by
regulating fuel gas valves position, in order to reach the “partial load” level of active power, if preselected
load or base load is set.
In case of a generator breaker trip the turbine speed reference is restored to 100.3 % and the unit
becomes again ready to be synchronized. Unit start command, available through a pushbutton on the
HMI, is required to restart the synchronization process.
ITEM
2 GENERAL REVISION
The following chart shows how the turbine power supplied to the load (horizontal axis) varies with
reference to turbine speed set point. This set point, called TNR, is the gas turbine speed reference in
terms of percent of the nominal speed, and maintains a constant value on each diagonal line in the chart.
As clearly displayed, if TNR value is fixed (i.e. TNR=104% - see the bold diagonal line in the graph), any
load demand reduction of 25% makes the turbine speed to increase of 1% and the corresponding grid
frequency (shown on the left vertical axis) to rise up of 0.5Hz. Conversely, if a 25% additional load is
connected to the grid, a complementary 1% speed and 0.5 grid frequency reduction occurs, moving along
“TNR=104%” diagonal line.
Constant Settable Droop Control manages TNR constant adjustments, based on load demand variations,
to prevent the grid frequency from changinig as described.
After synchronization to an electrical power grid with 60Hz frequency, the TNR value has to be changed
between 100% and 104% to modify the load output from 0% to 100% (consider the chart below moving
from point (A) to point (B)).
For different fixed values of grid frequency, as displayed in the chart, the Constant Settable Droop load
control mode makes a 4% variation of turbine speed set-point correspond to a 100% variation of the
power supplied to the load.

ISOCHRONOUS control mode is also possible in this kind of units. In this load control mode, the unit is
driven to maintain a constant speed regardless of the load requirements and therefore of the output
delivered.
Consequently, in this load control mode, the value of the active power supplied to the load can’t be set and
the machine faces to all load variations; i.e., if an increase in load power demand occurs, gas turbine
consequent response is a speed reduction, immediately corrected by the speed controller increasing the
gas quantity supplied to the machine.
For this reason, if two or more interconnected units are working together, each load variation causes a
fuel gas flow adjustment in the unit running in isochronous mode, while the other units (in DROOP mode)
are set to deliver a fixed power output.

SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
When BASE LOAD is selected the unit is automatically loaded after synchronization and output power is
increased until maximum rated exhaust temperature detection (notified by TE -211 A (TT-XD-1) TE -211
M (TT-XD-13)). After any ambient conditions change, delivered power is automatically adjusted to hold the
highest allowable MWatt output. The reference of the exhaust temperature is biased by MEDIAN
compressor discharge pressure to maintain a constant firing temperature even when the ambient
conditions are changing.
PRESELECTED LOAD
The operator is allowed to set a certain MWatt output value as an HMI input; the Mark VIe will use this
value as a pre-selected load control constant. When PRESELECTED load control mode is set, the unit will
automatically load or unload till the required MWatt output is reached. The control system will regulate the
MWatt output within the allowed operating values.
MANUAL LOAD CONTROL
Manual load selection is performed on the HMI. Any different selected mode (i.e. Pre-Selected) will be
reset to manual control if the operator activates RAISE/LOWER commands on HMI or if the governor
control is transferred from DROOP to ISOCHRONOUS.
Frequency adjustment is also permitted to the operator through raise/lower push buttons.
SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
All units equipped with IBH system show high temperature in the second wheel space after when running
at very low load (approx 30%) and IGV angle set at 42 deg. In some case high temperature alarm set
point (427 °C) was reached.
2 GENERAL REVISION
To mitigate the high wheel space temperature issue, the GT cooling system has been
redesigned and made more efficient by means of the ejector installed at the 4th stage
compressor extraction.
Design Criteria
th
Ejector system will improve the cooling through the 4 stage during partial load operation.
th
Ejector will commutate to close position when the pressure on 4 stage will reach the value of 1.3 – 1.4
barA.
The valve selected for the ejector control is an Electro-Pneumatic valve. A solenoid controlled by a Mark
VI signal direct the pneumatic actuator to open or close the ejector valve.
The control signal is the IGV feedback and the pneumatic actuator is put into action by instrument air.
Test performed on field shown the ejector capability to provide the right cooling flow during partial load
operation.

In the next pages are shown the values relative to the mechanical tool radial and axial readings. If a laser tool
is used for the alignment, the laser values shall be obtained starting from the data in the figures, in the
following way:
- Radial - Vertical reading : refer to dimension A or B depending on the direction of the reading (from
machine 1 to 2 or vice-versa)
b - Radial – horizontal reading: refer to dimension C
- Axial –vertical reading: refer to the acceptable values range in the axial readings dial gauge at six
o’clock, and multiply each value by the ratio 100/D where D is the axial reading diameter for the
mechanical tool.
- Axial – horizontal reading: should be always in the range of +- 0.01 mm.
