Can you give the forum some more information on your plant, model of turbines used and control system, type of operation ( Generation? Simple/combined cycle?). The forum is not really to provide documents but to try and help you and other users to discuss problems. Do you have access to...

The main thing is the filters need to be as clean as possible. Do you manually blow them down when they are dry? I had exactly the same problem in Brunei where the ambient and rainfall are pretty well the same as you. I don't think that your hot air dryer is a very good idea. I think that you...

Take a look at your P&ID. There is a forward power stroke and a reverse freewheel stroke from the Ratchet Sequencing Module. Take a look at your manuals. There should be a description there on how the ratchet operates.

Not if the generator protection is working correctly.

Yes Curtis, it is a question of maintenance. I have had exactly the same problem. You must keep the filters as clean as possible when they are dry by forcing a blowdown or the exterior dust will absorb the moisture and block the filters. You can blow them down again when they are dry, also...

I'm sorry but this just won't work with self cleaning filters. It is far too complicated for a simple problem. The best solution is try and keep some of the rain away from the filter.

Difficult, I've had this problem in a few places. If these are vertical mounted filters sometimes you can build a screen to protect the filters from the rain particularly if you have a predominant prevailing wind direction. Even high humidity, particularly early in the morning, is going to cause...

Can you give us some more information on the type of air filtration system that you have installed. Is this a self cleaning (Donaldson) system or a traditional changeable element system? Do you have a rain hood or rain eliminator segment installed?

This valve is operated by Compressor Discharge Pressure (CDP). There should be a setting in your Control or Instrument Spec. which gives you the changeover value. Take a look at your Cooling & Sealing Air P&ID. Unfortunately I don't have a set of Frame 9 drawings to hand. Why do you need to know...

Send me an email address, and I'll send you a document which will answer all your questions.

I don't know what control system you are using (maybe you can reply), but Combustion Monitor should see the T/C as "failed" and you could be OK, but there is a possibility that you could get a trip. It is not good to have 2 adjacent T/C failed.

I think you need to do some reading on how Speedtronic works. If you don't understand Temperature Control (and tripping), send me an Email to [email protected] and I'll send you a beginners document.

Firstly I would look at the criticality of the machine and secondly the cost. It is also to look at the machine component failure history. Sure Exhaust and wheelspace T/Cs will fail but, how many and how often. I tend to look more at points of failure and try to eliminate. For sure to change...

Do you know the manual No. you are looking for? Send me an email to [email protected], I'll send you what I have.

Do you have any soft copies of your MKI documents? If you have, I'd love to get a copy.

Is this a combination SRV & GCV or is it a stand alone SRV. If stand alone, can you give me a manufacturer and part number?

The main difference in MKVIe is Remote I/O. Instead of device I/O coming over analog connections to the MKVI panel to process, a remote I/O module is installed near to the device(es) and the signals are sent to the Control System over Ethernet. This means fewer cables between the turbine and the...

Test is run at start-up and shut down every time.

Drop me an Email to [email protected] and I can send you a document on the Gas Leak Test.

Do you have comparative data when at 110 Mw? You don't mention Inlet Temp. where are you located? Has the Inlet Temp. changed? Do you have data before and after the Major and before and after the offline wash?
