GEAR SYSTEM

Purpose of the system

Main gear
The function of the system is to reduce the speed of the gas turbine to a speed compatible with the
electric generator.

That is:
• To permit the generator and the gas turbine to have different and optimised shaft speeds.
• To transmit power from the gas turbine to the generator.

General description of the system

Refer to P&ID 2910405.

Main gear

shaft. The gear is connected to the generator with a quill shaft.

Parties without express authority is strictly forbidden.

Casing
The gear casing is a casted or welded design and with a horizontal split. Inspection openings allow
easy inspection of the gear mesh.
Provision for mounting of RTD’s, vibration probes and key phasor are standard.

Gearing and shafts

The pinion and the wheel are always manufactured from high alloy, special quality steel and case
hardened. The tooth flanks are precision ground with lead and profile correction to compensate for
torsional and thermal deflections and to provide low vibration and noise levels. Angular and parallel
misalignment is compensated by means of quill shafts. The quill shaft forging (incl. solid flange) is
made from high quality tempered steel.

Lubrication
The bearings and the gear receive lubricating oil from the turbine lube oil system through a central
connection in the gear casing. The lube oil amount for each bearing and gear mesh is optimised in
order to obtain the highest efficiency.
The lube oil returns to the reservoir through the oil drain openings on the short sides of the gear casing.

Bearings and seals

On low speed side the gear is equipped with cylindrical journal bearings, of sleeve type, which are
horizontally split and white metal lined.

High speed side is equipped with metal lined tilting pads.

The bearings are equipped with jacking oil. There is no thrust bearing in the gear, thus the axial
position is controlled by the thrust bearing in the gas turbine.
To prevent oil leakage out of the gear casing, the shaft penetrations through the casing are provided
with non-contact shaft seals of labyrinth type.

Function

Start up
The gear speed is determined by the starting motor during start up.

Continuous operation
The gear load is determined by the gas turbine during continuous operation. The gear is designed for
all normal operating modes, including starting up, normal running and shut down.

Gas Turbine stop

The gear coasts down with the gas turbine and generator.

Cooling down
A 087 0474-B 00-03 MS Word 97

The gear, gas turbine and generator are rotating at barring speed during the gas turbine cooling down
period.

Stand still
The system is not active

Disturbances

Gas turbine trip

After a gas turbine trip the gear coasts down with the gas turbine and generator. The lube oil
supply to the gear is ensured by the gas turbine lube oil system.

Generator trip
After a generator trip the gear coasts down with the gas turbine and the generator.

ensured by the gas turbine lube oil system.

System faults
If there are any damages on the gearbox or couplings the gas turbine unit may not be started or has
to be shut down.

- Gearing and shafts

Wear or damage to the gearing or shafts gives high vibration on the gear box.

- Bearings
Wear or damage to the bearings gives high vibration or/and high bearing metal temperature. Gear
vibration and bearing metal temperature are monitored and alarms are given if any of them
exceeds the setting values for alarm. In this case the load should be reduced. If the bearing metal
temperature continuous to rise, the turbine should be shut down manually. The turbine trips if the
vibration level increases.

Other faults
Fault in connecting systems:

- Lube oil system

Fault in the lube oil system which results in incorrect incoming lube oil temperature and/or
pressure to the gear box. These parameters are monitored in the lube oil system and the turbine is
tripped at too low pressure respective at too high temperature. In case of reduced or interrupted oil
flow the gear is not available for operation.
