INLET AND EXHAUST SYSTEM
INLET & EXHAUST SYSTEM
Gas turbine compressor sucks fresh & clean air from inlet
air filter system through inlet plenum.

Hot exhaust gases produced as the result of combustion in
turbine is released to atmosphere through exhaust plenum.

The noise generated during gas turbine operation is
attenuated by means of absorptive silencing material and
devices built in the inlet and exhaust plenum.



Axial flow type with 17
th
stages.

Each stage consist of rotating row of blades that increases
the velocity of incoming air raising it kinetic energy, followed
by a stationary row of blades that act as diffusers
converting K.E to pressure increase.
COMPRESSOR
Compressor air is used for following purposes
Combustion of fuel in the combustion
chamber.
Cooling of various TURBINE Parts.
Sealing of oil in the bearings.
Atomization of liquid fuel
Purging of Turbine hot gas path


The combustion system is the reverse flow type.
The high-pressure air from the compressor reverses its
path in the transition pieces and then moves to the
annular spaces that surround each of the ten combustion
chambers.
The airflow through the combustion chamber has three
functions:
To oxidize the fuel.
To cool the metal parts.
To dilute the extremely hot product of combustion to
the desired turbine inlet temperature.


Combustion Section
Each combustion chamber has the
following main parts:

Nozzle flow sleeve
Liner
Transition piece
Cross fire tube
Spark plugs (2 nos.)
Flame detectors (4nos)

i) TRANSITION PIECES
It directs the hot gases from the liners to the turbine
nozzle.

ii) NOZZLES
It disperses and mixes the fuel with proper amount of
combustion air.

iii) CROSS FIRE TUBES
A passage to propagate the flame from one combustion
chamber to another after the initiation of fire by spark
plug.

iv) COOLING OF LINER WALL
A film of main compressor discharge air shields the liner
wall from the hot combustion gases.

v) COMBUSTION CHAMBER

In the combustion chamber, hot gases from the reaction
zone passes to the dilution zone where additional amount of
air is mixed to bring the temperature of hot gases to the
desired level.



vi) SPARK PLUG
Combustion is initiated by the spark plugs provided in the
two combustion chambers where the firing command is
given by mark-VIe. the spark plug operates at the voltage of
11 kV and this high voltage is supplied by ignition
transformer. Spark plugs are installed in combustion
chamber no-13 and 14 only. At the time of firing, spark plug
ignites the fuel in the combustion chamber and fire in the
remaining chambers is ignited through crossfire tubes. The
spark plug are spring injected and pressure retracted type.
As the rotor speed increases, chamber pressure causes the
spark plugs to retract and the electrodes are removed from
combustion zone. As the rotor speed increases, chambers
are ignited through crossfire tubes only.
vii) ULTRA VIOLET FLAME DETECTORS
During the starting sequence, it is essential that indication
of the presence or absence of flame in the combustion
chambers be transmitted to the mark-V. The four nos. flame
detectors are provided in combustion chamber 4,5,10 and
11 to meet the purpose.


viii) FUEL NOZZLES
Each combustion chamber has one nozzle and each nozzle
has four inlets for Natural Gas, Liquid Fuel, Purge Air, and
Atomizing air. The liquid fuel is atomized by means of
atomizing air. The swirl tip in the nozzle imparts a swirl in
the combustion air for complete combustion and resulting in
the smoke free operation of the unit.

TRIP OIL SYSTEM
Lube oil from the GT bearing header is used for trip
functions (abnormal & emergency shutdown of the
turbine) and normal start-up/shutdown thus the oil is
called Trip oil.
The trip oil is supplied to the inlet guide vane trip device 20TV-
1, and to the GT fuel stop valve arrangement 20 FL-1. The
turbine shutdown initiated by the trip system occurs due to the
depressurisation of trip oil header, which is caused by draining
of oil from the system. When oil in the trip oil line is dumped,
the central pressure acting on the fuel stop valve by the
hydraulic oil is relieved and in turn the valve gets close by
spring action. In the absence of Trip Oil pressure IGV opening
also falls to minimum position.

COOLING WATER SYSTEM
The liquid fuel system provides fuel oil to the gas turbine in response
to the speed and load demands and within temperature limitations of
the turbine.
Fuel is supplied at a positive pressure through the primary filter and
the stop valve to the on base fuel pump inlet by the fuel forwarding
system.

The fuel pump is a positive displacement pump with a bypass
arrangement.
The servo valve controls the bypass valve stroke according to the
difference between the requirement and the sensed flow &
accordingly bypass valve closed to increase fuel flow to turbine or
vice-versa.
LIQUID FUEL SYSTEM

The Fuel oil flow to turbine is proportional to flow divider speed
hence the fuel flow is sensed by the magnetic pickups 77FD 1.2 and
3 which are mounted on the flow divider. This flow gives a feed
back to bypass valve servo system.
The purpose of the flow divider is to equally divide the fuel oil to
each of the fuel nozzles of the turbine. The flow divider consists of
a series of small positive displacement gear pumps. The pumps
are driven by fuel pressure at the inlet of the gears of each pump;
and this equally divides fuel flow.
The selector valve pressure gauge assembly is provided to
monitor the fuel pressure of individual nozzle inlet line. The
position of the selector valve determines the nozzles pressure
of the selected line.

REQUIREMENT
To provide protection against effects of contaminated
air that may degrade GT performance.

To avoid GT life reduction by erosion, corrosion,
fouling, plugging of cooling passages.

To avoid particles impact on internals of GT &
consequent removal of metals particularly on leading &
trailing edges of compressor blades.

Size-20 micron & above are most erosive
Size-20 micron & below are much erosive
ATOMISING & PURGE AIR SYSTEM
The purge air system is necessary to prevent the
accumulation of oil fuel in the oil fuel nozzle
passage and fouling of nozzles during the gas fuel
operation as a result of oil fuel cooking thus
keeping the oil fuel nozzles clean and ready for oil
fuel operation.

Atomizing air is required to break the fuel jet coming out
of the fuel nozzle into a fine mist by impinging the air on
it & this helps in the combustion of the fuel at an
increased efficiency.

VENTILATING SYSTEM
The ventilating capabilities have been incorporated into the
turbine accessory & Load Tunnel compartments with each using
thermally insulated side panels and roof.

Gravity operated dampers are used in the system to
automatically provide a tight enclosure when the fire protection
system is activated.

The gravity closing outlet dampers are normally held open by
fire extinguishing agent pressure operated latches, which must
be manually reset after damper release.

When the agent is discharged, pressure on the latch forces a
lever, which release the latch allowing the damper to close.

COOLING WATER SYSTEM

In gas turbine, the cooling water system circulates water as a
cooling medium to perform following functions:

a) Heat dissipation requirement of lubrication system.(Lube oil
heat exchangers)
b) Turbine support legs cooling.
d) Flame detectors cooling.
e) Warren pump oil cooler.

The cooling water is supplied at a pressure of 2.0 - 2.5 kg/cm2.
In the heat exchanger, cooling water flows through tubes and
lube oil through shell. The water flow through the heat
exchanger is regulated by a temperature-actuated valve VTR1,
which has a sensor, installed in the lube oil header downstream
from the heat exchangers.

INLET & EXHAUST SYSTEM
Gas turbine compressor sucks fresh & clean air from inlet
air filter system through inlet plenum.

Hot exhaust gases produced as the result of combustion in
turbine is released to atmosphere through exhaust plenum.

The noise generated during gas turbine operation is
attenuated by means of absorptive silencing material and
devices built in the inlet and exhaust plenum.

maintain its temp. at 107 deg c through VTR-1.Position of
compressor bleeds valves, Hydraulic oil pressure with main
pump in line, Check for fuel system stability at FSNL. The
speed of the machine should not vary bearings. Check brg.
Header temperatures and adjust lube cooling water
control (VTR 1). The ideal lube oil header temperature is
from 42
o
C to 54
o
C.
Record all field parameters at FSNL.
Ensure that Starting HT motor breaker is kept in Test
position after attaining FSNL successfully.

Give clearance for synchronization/loading the machine.


Naphtha fuel changeover Procedure: Ensure that electrical load on GT
is at least 5-10 MW. Start and line up the pumps as per the procedure
adopted for HSD pumps. Maintain naphtha pressure after the CV 4.5
to 5 kg/cm
2
. Check Hi-Tech level in the tank, it should not be below
20 cm level. Start one hi-tech pump and keep the other one in AUTO.
Now fuel change over may be done. Select Naphtha in FUEL SELECT
and execute the command.
In case GT trips ensure that it is in ON COOLDOWN Mode & see that
AOP starts in AUTO and machine comes on Turning Gear after zero
speed is reached.
In case GT trips while running in Naphtha fuel, then before restarting
the machine purging of the fuel line with HSD is necessary. Click EXIT
on CRT and then click Naphtha Purging Display and follow the
procedure of Naphtha purging as displayed on the screen. Before
purging ask the field operator to open all the 10 nos. of naphtha
purge drain valves and ensure that all this drains are closed fully after
completion of purging, then select AUTO in MASTER SELECT on Main
Display Unit.

Shut Down Operation
Gas turbine Shut Down can be achieved by Two Means
Normal or Fired Shut Down
Emergency Shut down
Manual Emergency Shut Down
Protective Emergency Shut Down
Fired Shutdown:
Normal Shut Down Reduces the Fuel to the Turbine in a
Controlled way (upto 20% of speed and shuts of the Fuel
Totally)so as to Reduce overall Thermal Shock to Turbine
Internals
It is Executed by using STOP Push Button on Unit Control
Page
This is the most Preferred Shut Down Mode
Emergency Shut Down
Protective Emergency Shut Down
In case GT trips on Protection this leads to shuts
of the Fuel immediately by closing Fuel Stop
Valves
Manual Emergency Stop to be used Judiciously
Emergency Push Buttons are Provided on
