Hello Everyone
I am an operator working at a combine cycle power plant and we have 3 GE 9Es installed with Mark VIe control. My question is related to the operation of Turbine bearings sealing air supply transfer valve (VA-14).
Wondering when this valve switches its position, as there is no information available in GEs documentation about the conditions in which this valve would operate. I already know this valve is used to allow cooling and sealing air from stage 11 during start up, but am wondering when it changes its position to resume air flow from the 5th stage.
