Kwabena, This is clarity that is lacking and would have been helpful in the first post. So, what happens when a CRANK is initiated at other times when an Off-line Water Wash is not or has not been performed? Does the unit CRANK as it should? What happens when you select FIRE and initiate a...

orefasola, It's not clear what you are asking--but to be effective and successful in upgrading any turbine control system the key is experience. EXACTLY as glenmorangie wrote. One word. A truer response cannot be found and will never be given. In my personal experience, the biggest mistake...

“…Yesterday, the gas turbine was started from zero speed and sent to base load and still running at base load, however, the problem is still there….” Kwabena, The remaining problem at present seems to be your inability to understand why the unit would not CRANK after the water wash as the unit...

Mauricio Marquez, MK5MAKE.BAT creates a new UNITDATA.DAT when it is run. Check the time/data stamps of the UNITDATA files in the UNIT-specific directory; they should reflect the time you ran MK5MAKE.BAT. You didn't specifically say that you modified the <C> MA input 05 scaling signal. AND I...

MIKEVI is correct--the generator rotors of air-cooled generators are VERY heavy compared to hydrogen-cooled generator rotors and an assist from a ratchet mechanism is very often necessary to break the turbine-generator shaft away from zero speed. I have no personal experience with 9E air-cooled...

rokan_123, Thank you for the photos. In a properly assembled GE-design Frame 9E heavy duty gas turbine this should never happen. It's impossible to say where the damage occurred from the photos but it's pretty obvious there is either some misalignment between guide tubes or something is loose...

So, it's been established that: --There is a load sharing model in use (WTH is a load sharing "model"???) --The Thread Starter (Control.com for original poster) did NOT respond to the question about a PMS --The units are automatically synchronized (as opposed to manual synchronization) --The...

rokan_123, If they are broken then it's probable that there is some misalignment of the guide tubes between the outer casing/shell and the nozzle segments--OR the nozzle segments are moving and shearing the sheaths. Or, the wrong T/Cs are being used (diameter is too large or the T/C is not...

behrad_m, As I wrote, there is a Frame 6B Users Group you can probably join and there you can likely find what you are looking for--at least as far as the experiences others have had using various suppliers for DLN-I conversions. And, there you can also probably ask about any potential...

behrad_m, Converting from conventional combustors to DLN-I combustors is a very large undertaking. And, for dual fuel applications, it will be even larger. There will need to be at least two, if not three, gas fuel manifolds in the turbine compartment (one for primary fuel gas, one for...

It's significantly more than that. I'm not sure what you mean by "Flow Detector." If you meant 'flame detector'--no; it's not entirely necessary to use a different style of flame detector than you might currently be using--though no matter what style you use you will require more than two (2)...

Isn't there also a "limit" to the total amount of resistance some devices (4-20 mA, particularly) can see in their entire output loop? I typically see limits in transmitter loops of 500 ohms. So, many input channels use 250 ohm dropping resistors to develop 1-5 VDC on the input circuitry (which...

BobM, Yes; it happens FAR TOO OFTEN that simply because servos look physically the same but have slightly different P/Ns (one character difference, or maybe two) that people believe they ARE the same. And, that's just NOT true for Moog servo-valves. When I see that it takes "excessive" current...

Fil, The Main L.O. Pump of many GE-design heavy duty gas turbines--and gas turbines made by Nuovo Pignone were licensed from GE for many years, until GE eventually bought NP--(the older models with gear-driven pumps) are positive displacement pumps. The Auxiliary L.O. Pumps on these same...

Gerbrandt, Sorry, but I do not understand the repeated suggestions to "...perfume yourself..." Some people (more and more these days) are extremely sensitive to scents used in detergents, soaps, perfumes, deodorants, and even after-shave lotions. If an interviewer was one of these people, how...

Aye; that it does! From the very bottom of my heart.

"But to be frank, I believe the real problem is a lack of understanding Sync-Zone-Protocol !" Phil Corso, that's the single most intelligent thing I've seen you write. Now, why don't you proceed to give him, and us, an education--without asking any questions. (Sorry; I don't mean to hamstring...

HamsterKing, [To anyone else reading my post here--this is ONLY for Mark V. Not any other digital Mark* turbine control system.] So, are you saying that the CXLIM7EA block appears on the CSP (printout AND electronic copy (CSP.PRN) BUT that when you go on-line with Rung Display it doesn't show...

I neglected to comment on your reasoning for asking this question--which you said was to "...correlate the equation that relates the rate of opening of the GCV valve to the FSR and the flow that enters the combustion chambers." Some people (correctly) refer to the GCV as the FSR valve--because...

Er, ..., Um, ..., This appears to be a steam turbine application, and I'm not really familiar with some of the older STs which use the Woodward SFC positioner in conjunction with a Moog servo-valve. But, I have to ask: Have you changed the Woodward SFC positioner??? Moog servo-valves are the...
