Starting system

General.1
The starting system is the system that generates mechanical work to
operate the air compressor. While the air compressor driven by GGT at
.normal operation
The staring system includes expansion turbine. The gas flow
entering the gas turbine starting system must be performed at the
following condition:
Pressure minimum 16 barg = 232 PSIG
maximum 20 barg = 290 PSIG
Temperature minimum 50 oC = 122 oF
maximum 60 oC = 140 oF
Flow Normal 4.0 Kg/sec = 8.8 Lbs/sec.

Instrument air is required for the various pneumatic valves,

controlling the functions of the system.
(the instrument air generates from air compressor driven by
electric motor in the utility level.)
