    Gas valve (SRV/GCV) Actuator Plug Oil Leakage

    In our compression station we have frame 5 machines. After visual inspection of the gas valves actuator assembly (bolted to stationary base plate) of one machine, I noticed a SMALL oil leakage (see the picture in the link below) from the GCV actuator plug while the machine was running. (notice...

    Why Two Gas Valves (SRV GCV) in Frame 5 GT

    I just want to share and confirm an information that i have about using two gas valves (SRV and GCV) in the frame 5 GTs. The first valve SRV (speed regulating valve) regulates the infravalve pressure (between srv and gcv). This pressure depends on the hp speed. WHY? because the amount of fuel...

    IGV angle and pulsation protection control

    After studying the CSRGVPS algorithm of a 5002B heavy duty gas turbine, I found that the inlet guide vanes are automatically positioned closed during a start-up and a shutdown sequence to avoid gas turbine compressor pulsation or combustion pulsation. I found also to protect the axial compressor...
