We have SSS 64T clutch installed on starting system of our Fr6B gas turbine. The starting system comprises of diesel engine and torque converter &sss clutch.
We intend to start the diesel engine occasionally while the gas turbine is in service to ensure reliability of starting system (especially diesel engine).
Advice on below queries is requested:
- If we can operate the diesel engine while the gas turbine is service at its normal operating speed?
- Is there any harm suspected to SSS clutch internals?
- What additional checks/parameters on clutch can be monitored during such exercise to prevent from any damage to the clutch?
