Dear guys,
we got a GE Frame 5 from the 70s running on fuel oil. The unit has soot formataion issus at full load. In order to stay under the legal threshold we had to reduce the load to around 90% - here the soot formation is within the boundaries.
We changed the fuel oil nozzles, however there was no improvement. We suspect that the atomizing air compressor might be the probleme, exhaust pressure around 152 psi.
Has anyone a further hint how to validate this?
Thanks anyway
