    Fuel Change Over Mark Vie GE Frame 9E

    How is fuel changeover (from Gas to Liquid) happening in Frame 9E Gas turbines (GE) under Mark Vie control system? I know that a signal from gas pressure switch should initiate fuel changeover from NG to liquid fuel, but how is the logic working and which signal exactly is considered as...

    LVDT reading is not following Moog servo valve command

    We have Speedtronic Mark IV+ control system for controlling GE Frame 9 Gas turbine machine. When I was stroking the Liquid fuel bypass valve after shutdown, I found that valve position is not going as per forcing voltage. for example if I give (+5 vdc) the valve is going only to 45 % closing...

    gas control valve and speed/ratio valve

    always i read that speed ratio v/v control or maintain the gas pressure and control v/v controls the flow. Actually i don't know how to control flow without changing pressure. Or by other words, what is the difference between pressure regulation and flow regulation? In both cases we control how...
