Refer to appendix 1 : E1345_A040_OMMM1_Preventive_maintenance

1.2. DESCRIPTION OF THE EQUIPMENTS

1.2.1. Bulkhead light

100 W bulkhead metal and glass
Class I, IP 55, LEGRAND ref. 60573
CM 10 (PG 11) cable gland
Permissible lamps : maxi 70 W

1.2.2. Amerkool GT filter cell

by a disposable coalescer filter : « Amerkool GT ».
This is a coalescer filter cell.
These pad filters are placed in a Ve filter bank.

1.2.3. Dripak GT20

by a disposable pre-filter : « Dripak GT20 ».
This is an air pre-filter cell.
These pocket filters are placed in Matrix filter bank in the same cell as the HE filters

1.2.4. Duravee cell

DuraVee is a heavy dirty high efficiency filter developed specially for the rotating
machinery industry. DuraVee media is water resistant and can with stand exposure
to free moisture in the air stream. The header and cell sides provide a sturdy and
handling. DuraVee utilizes material which are incinerable and do not emit
hazardous chlorine gases.

1.3. HEALTH AND SAFETY

Replace the filter cells (pre-filter or coalescer or HE) (assembly and disassembly) :
a) Preferably wear a dust mask
b) Wear light and very flexible gloves
c) If very steep and narrow steps or a mobile platform is being used to access the upper row
of cells, ensure that they are stable and/or fixed, and use chains or hand rails if possible.
Work with a companion to pass him the cells from the circulation floor or for him to pass
them to you.
d) If locker with 2 or 3 levels of maintenance ensure that during passage to an upper level
the access hatch (including that for passing the filters) is/are replaced or secured by a
guard device.
e) In downstream housing (upper and lower) use removable platforms to access to HE filter
upper back zone.

1.5. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

1.5.1. Housing general inspection

During every important inspection of the gas turbine, check with a special attention the
following items:
x Tightness of polyurethane sealant on prefilter and filter banks inside the filter housing and
on junction of modules inside and outside the filter housing. If some parts are damaged
or missing, take out the damaged sealant part, clean the support and apply a new strand
of polyurethane sealant.
x The good fixation of mechanical parts.
x The good condition and air tightness of gaskets on access doors.
x The good draining water (not obstructed pipes). Clean the draining boxes under floors.
x Once a year, check the good aspect of anti-corrosion protection.
Make touches-up where necessary.
Take care especially to the good aspect of paint inside clean air module.

1.5.2 Electrical parts

Regular inspections :
x Check that all lighting are working and replace them if necessary.
x Check that all wiring are in good condition (parts of cables out of cables ways, no mark of
cutting or abnormal overheating on the sheath,…).
During every important inspection of the gas turbine, every 10 to 12 years, check with a
special attention :

x The condition of power supply cables, connections and electrical equipment (heater, Plug,
light, switches,…).
x The condition of electrical cabinet and the equipment it contain (gaskets for tightness,
cables connection, heater,…).

1.5.3 Instrumentation parts

Regular inspections :
x Check of the good working of instrumentation (when the gas turbine is stopped for
instrumentation located inside clean air plenum).
During every important inspection of the gas turbine, every 10 to 12 years, check with a
special attention :
x The condition of connection and wiring of instrumentation connected to the gas turbine
control system.

1.6. CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

1.6.1. General
CAUTION : After every maintenance period inside the clean air plenum of the filter,
It’s important to respect cleanliness procedures.

1.6.1.1. Mechanical parts

The damage or the breakdown of mechanical parts of the gas turbine’s filter can have
effects of various gravity for the gas turbine.
For the security of the turbine, maintenance operations on the following parts of the air filter
should implicate the stop of the turbine :
x Maintenance operation on “Dripak GT20”, “Duravee” and “Amerkool GT” filters, or on their
frames.
x Maintenance operation on any part of the clean air plenum.

1.6.1.2. Electrical parts

The breakdown of any electrical part of the gas turbine air filter is not a critical break down
for the operating of the gas turbine itself.
Most of electrical parts located outside the clean air plenum can be replaced while the gas
turbine is working.
For electrical parts out of order located inside the clean air plenum, wait until the gas turbine
is stopped to repair or replace them.

1.6.1.3. Instrumentation parts

The breakdown of any instrumentation part of the gas turbine air filter is not a critical break
down for the operating of the gas turbine itself.
Most of instrumentation parts located outside the clean air plenum can be replaced while the
gas turbine is working.
For instrumentation parts out of order located inside the clean air plenum, wait until the gas
turbine is stopped to repair or replace them.

1.6.2 “Amerkool GT” cells cleaning

Frequency
Following the cleaning chart.
Initial conditions
During a stop of the turbine
Operate in team of 2 or 3 operators

Replacement instructions :

A) Remove the 4 latches

B) Put down the “Amerkool GT” cell without shaking it and shut it up in a hermetic plastic bag
to avoid discharging of dust
C) Clean correctly the frame with a damp drag

D) Put in place the AmerKool GT cell inside the frame and lock it by using for latches (see
photos here under). Take care of right sense of prefilter installation, green face must be
installed on clean air side or air leaving side (see arrow on frame).

Quantity = 180

! SECURITY INSTRUCTIONS !
BEFORE FILTER MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS, YOU MUST USE PROTECTION GLOVES.
WITHOUT GLOVES, YOU EXPOSE YOURSELF TO DEEP INJURIES. (CUTTINGS)

Note 2 : For the next filter bank cell, the position of the fastening rods is offset of one pocket :
Upper fastening rod, between the two upper filter pockets
Lower fastening rod, on the lower side filter frame

1.6.3.1 - Special advice for fastening rods mounting

After engage the first extremity (opposite side) … Push on the rod till the opening

Push in the external direction … till the fastening rods is engage in the frame opening

1.6.3.2 - Special advice for fastening on “pressure tips” cells :

Some Matrix filter cells (3x3) are specialized for pressure tips to allow the independent measurement of the
prefilter and of the HE filter cells pressure drop.
In these cells, it is needed to install, between the Duravee and the Dripak a stainless steel frame to create a
space. The Dripak fastening bars are then different on this assembly.

1.7. STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

If spare parts (instrumentation, lights) or replacement air filter cells are in storage meet the
storage requirements :
- Maximum ambient temperature during storage is + 50°C and mini -20°C.
- Protect the air filters from exposure to sun and rain, snow or other forms of free moisture
and store them in closed buildings or weather proof containers.
The cardboard boxes can be stacked on pallets with a maximum of 4 cardboard boxes on
the top of one another (generally, 16 cardboard boxes per standard pallet : 1,2 x 1,2 m).
Palettes SHOULD NOT be stacked.
It is recommended to strap the pallet with strong tape or iron-straps in order to prevent
falling-off of the cardboard boxes when handled with forklift.
Persons must not walk on the cardboard boxes or on the palettes.
