VIGV General Maintenance
Annually
• Actuator Maintenance & Calibration
• Inspection for mechanical damage & cracks.
• Hand Clean Vanes when Off-Line WW Performed
• Filter Replacement - Routine checks of the DP
gauge on the filter assembly to verify that the
filter is not partially clogged. If the DP indicator
shows red, the filter element needs to be
replaced.

VIGV General Maintenance
Actuator
•Apply grease to the linkage rod end
bearings through the grease fittings.
It is recommended that this
maintenance be performed every 12
months using bearing grease per
Turbine Manufacturers instructions.
•If the actuator is installed in a
harsh environment or is subjected
to higher than normal usage, this
maintenance should be performed
every 6 months.

After the Inlet Guide Vanes have been opened, remove the
clip & pin, & loosen the centering screws, from either the
upper or lower connection point, & move arm to the side.

Comply with EHS guidelines, the IGV must be secured open
using a chain fall that will allow it to be locked by the
inspector preventing premature removal.

VIGV BUSHING INSPECTION SCHEDULE
GE Power Systems
g 9E GT IGV
GE recommends the following procedure for inspection for bushing wear:
Caution should be exercised to ensure that the IGV controls

have been rendered inoperable during measurement &
inspection. Failure to do so could result in injury to personnel.
With the GT SD & the IGV secured in the normally open
position for loaded operation (86 degrees in most instances),
use a dial indicator to measure motion normal to the vane
chord. Position the indicator to read as close to the vane inner
button as possible, then deflect the vane to both sides of the
bushing clearance & record the full dial indicator reading. It is
important to note that any residue in the clearance area be
removed prior to measuring bushing clearances with the dial
indicator.
GE Power Systems
g 9E GT IGV
GE recommends the following procedure for inspection for bushing wear:
VIGV’s should be inspected for bushing wear according to a

schedule. Special attention should be paid to the clearance
limits as defined in the table. If any clearance measured
exceed the limit, immediate action should be taken to replace
the bushing(s).
Once the bushings have been verified to not exceed the wear
limits specified, verify that the bushings are not loose in the
inner segment holes. If loose or free to turn, restake the
segments to tighten the bushing fit. Do not overstake, the IGV
should be free to actuate.

Maintenance:
Replace of solenoid coil is accomplished by
removing the 8 screws on the solenoid top cover
flange, & pulling the old coil spool by the leads.
To remove poppet remove 4 solenoids cap
screws (34), then 2 screws (10), by inserting same
2 screws (10) in tapped holes in flange of bushing
(8) the bushing can be jacked upwards to loosen
O-ring (9) & complete assembly can be lifted out.
GE Power Systems
g 9E GT IGV
Maintenance:
Piston O-ring part (7) can be easily replaced.
Stem guide busing O-ring (9) can be replaced by
simply slipping over piston (3) & into groove on
guide bushing. It is recommended that the
piston shaft O-ring (7) & spring (4) be replaced.
To replace O-ring (7) & spring, the spring retainer
& lock nut must be removed. When replacing the
spring retainer nut it is important that the piston
shaft O-ring is compressed just enough to make
a seal & not over tightened against the piston
shaft tube part (6).
GE Power Systems
g 9E GT IGV
Maintenance:
The piston (3) need not be replaced under normal
operating conditions. The only recommended
maintenance is that it be thoroughly cleaned
with a solvent such as denatured alcohol. In
extreme cases where foreign material has
damaged the piston surface it is recommended
that the valve be sent back to Ruggles-
Klingermann for evaluation & repair.

Orifice Plates
•Inspect Annually with Turbine shutdown for:
•Erosion or Corrosion
•Plugging or Orifice Deterioration
•Sharp Edges or Irregular Chamfer

g 9E GT IGV
Orifice Plates
Orifice plates should be removed & inspected for signs of
erosion, corrosion, or component deterioration.
• Check the orifices for plugging, size, & sharpness of the hole.
• Evidence of erosion or deterioration - replace.
• Plugged orifices may be cleaned & restored to service
providing the size of the hole has not been altered.
