jolek, WOW!!! My apologies, sir. I am not a good proof-reader of my own writing, and with a new mobile phone the spellchecker is overly ambitious with technical writing corrections--which I didn't catch. So, the message must have seemed very strange. So, here goes a re-write, with (I...

mildew, >I need all diagnostic and all >tripping alarm list of mark6e for GE 30 mw GT. The GE Mark VIe HMI should have a display which lists all the conditions that will result in a turbine trip. The descriptions may be a little cryptic and are certainly extremely brief but, if properly...

jolek, It sounds like you lucky and have a unit that was packaged by GE-Belfort which has a lot of overly complicated sequencing and a lot of I/O. I have seen a single solenoid-operated valve to control the 14 pneumatic valves, but that adds a lot of tubing to the compartment. And if you...

Hello, This is a very common problem for dual fuel units (gas/distillate) which operate primarily but need to be able to transfer fuels quickly. The OEM and several other companies can provide liquid fuel readiness systems, some of which can be VERY expensive, but which automatically run the...

A COUPLE MORE THINGS TO CONSIDER... I believe the spray nozzles for on-line water washing (if your unit(s) are equipped with on-line water washing spray nozzles--which are DIFFERENT than off-line water wash nozzles!) are sized for higher air flow-rates and fuel flow-rates. And, to my...

gustavo_marcelo, Wonderful. But no 'Thumbs Up.' What a fella gotta do? Terminology and circumstances are both really important in a technical discussion. I think you are confusing "Primary" and diffusion flame. Diffusion flame is characterized by a bright yellow-orange flame--like you see...

KEA/AEK, From this thread: https://www.control.com/thread/1564421669#1565044510 you have posted the unit is experiencing HIGH exhaust temperature spreads. That's NOT good for turbines, and the longer this persists the more damage can be done (is being done). I don't really think the...

Moh, Welcome. There are GE-design Frame 9<b>E</b> heavy duty gas turbines. There are Frame 9F turbines; there are Frame 9FA units; there are Frame 9H units; there are Frame 9HA units. (There are the numerical coded units, also: 9FA.03, etc.) Which type of Frame 9 (MS9001 (Model Series...

Hi, Nassor, So, what kind of combustion systems do these six GE-design Frame 6 heavy duty gas turbines have? Are you confident the Water Wash skid can be used (in automatic mode) for on-line water washing? Do the gas turbines have on-line water wash spray nozzles? DLN combustors do...

MARKlaneV, I am wracking my brain trying to remember the two times I have had to deal with this alarm and what the fixes were. Unfortunately, I can only remember one of them.... Has the site (or sites??) experienced any severe electrical storms in the recent past? Have you been...

gustavo_marcelo, >1. May I know what is the technical reason of GE Frame 9 >flame detectors are located at the combustion can 1, 2, 3 >and 14. Why does it not equally spaced say at 90 degree each >rather than side by side. GE has historically (before the advent of DLN combustion...

A concise and thorough evaluation is impossible without <b>MUCH</b> more information. Suffice it to say that this happens more often than one might think, but it has its risks. Many types of failures, including catastrophic failures can occur. It would be necessary to know, among other...

I have no knowledge of or experience with systeme 613/5000, so I can't provide any help with this. Your other problem is very serious! You have high exhaust temperature spreads, and it seems your unit may not have combustion monitoring, which checks for exhaust temperature spreads and...

jagriti, If you haven't already used the cleverly hidden 'Search' feature of control.com, I heartily recommend you do so. I believe this topic (start-up process of GE-design heavy duty gas turbine) has been covered MANY times before on control.com. Also, you would need to tell us what...

jagriti, >(2) Why CO2 was not released? Regarding this I would like to >know what is the industry practice to know the truthfulness >of the system. Like CO2 will release or not in case of fire. I really don't understand the sentence about '... what is the industry practice to know the...

gustavo_marcelo, I think I used the term "emergency shutdown" in parentheses, immediately following the word "trip." In GE-design heavy duty gas turbine parlance, a trip is an emergency shutdown--which means the fuel stop valve will be immediately closed to shut off the flow of fuel to the...

jagriti, 45CR-1 & -2, if I recall correctly (and I don't have any drawings to refer to at this writing), are the release solenoids for the Initial- and Extended extinguishing agent discharge systems. The release solenoids are energized after the time delay (usually 15-30 seconds) between when...

jagriti, The fire protection system uses various sensors to detect a fire in any of the compartments where the sensors are located. When a fire is detected, the turbine is usually tripped (emergency shutdown--fuel flow is stopped immediately), including the compartment ventilation fans...

>For the MARK VI gas turbine control system how can I get >the TRIPLOG (TRIP HISTORY) file? I read that as, "Where do I find the TRIPLOG (TRIP HISTORY) file?" in order to be able to analyze why the turbine tripped? I believe it requires a properly configured GE Mark VI HMI--one that is...

PowerIsland, I have successfully used both a Fluke True AC RMS multimeter (in AC mode with respect to ground) and an oscilloscope to detect AC ripple on the 125 VDC. The effect of excessive AC ripple on the 125 VDC being used in the Mark V is that, usually, there will be a LOT of 'Contact...
