Caution Note: In the event that the compressor does not operate as required, following
‘shutdown, a lockout period of 20.25 hours will be implemented after shutdown for restart
(unit can restart within the first 1.75 hours following shutdown). This is included in the
control logic. There will also is a Sub-loop Controller (SLC) in the logic to allow the
lockout to be overridden. This will allow a warm restart with a WARNING that “over-
riding the lockout could result in performance losses". Lockout period is shown in the

Also, if the unit drops down to 3 RPM during any period of the DAIS operation, the lock-
out period (shown above) applies. If the rotor speed is at 3 RPM, maintain operation of
the DAIS during the entire duration of 3 RPM and then continue DAIS operation once the
unit Is back to 120 RPM; however, the lockout period of 20.25 hours does still apply as a
result of 3 RPM operation. If the rotor speed drops down to zero for any period of time,
the DAIS system should not operate.

nozzles. The Startup/Shutdown Purge System functions to maintain the required air flow
during these periods below 2150 rpm as the turbine is accelerating or decelerating,
Continuous Manifold Purge (Operation on Fuel Oil)
Immediately after transfer from natural gas to fuel oll and during operation on fuel oil, air
from the combustor shell is continuously provided to the fuel gas manifold (pilot stage) to
prevent recirculation of hot combustion gases through the manifold and to minimize the
effects of thermel stress on the fuel nozzle tips. The air passes through two
pheumaticelly operated air to opervfall closed ball-lype purge isolation valves. A
pneumatically operated air to close/fail open ball-type purge vent valve is installed ina
double-block-and-bleed arrangement between the two isolation valves.
The piping is monitored by a dual element pressure switch to detect failure of the vent
valve and either of the two isolation valves. This pressure switch provides a trip signal to
the gas turbine If pressure is sensed in the line between the fuel gas manifold purge
isolation valves during operation on fuel gas. A pressure between these isolation valves
would indicate either fuel gas leakage or hot combustor shell air leakage into this space.
When the fuel gas purge isolation valves are open, the purge vent valve is closed.

A portion of the cooling air is diverted from the first, second, and third stage blade
serrations to blade holes to pass through the blades and exit out the tips into the hot gas
path reducing blade temperature. Air exiting the blade tips cools the interstage seals,
and is then swept info the hot gas path and into the turbine exhaust.
Rotor Cooling
Cooling the turbine rotor to maintain a reasonable operating temperature ensures a
longer service life. Rotor cooling air exits the rotor cooling air filter and is internally piped
to the torque tube seal housing.
From the torque tube seal housing, the air is distributed for cooling the turbine intemals
outside of the hot gas path. Some of the cooling air is directed through the seal disk
assembly to cool the seals and prevent hot gases from escaping along the rotor towards
the compressor. Some of the cooling air flows through the torque tube and through the
holes in the disc extender into the center core of the rotor. This air cools the rotor disos
and disc cavities by flowing between the discs and through the curvic couplings into the
disc cavily areas. Direct cooling occurs at the turbine blade root sefrations on all four
slages. Effectively this cooling provides a thermal boundary between the blade exposed
to the gas path temperature and the turbine discs. A portion of the cooling ait is diverted
from the first, second, and third stage blade serrations to blade holes to pass through the
blades and exit out the tips into the hot gas path reducing blade temperature. Air exiting
the blade tips cools the interstage seals, and is then swept into the hot gas path and to

‘Such bleeding reduces the air flow through the compressor down-siream of the bleed
ports, which lowers the velocity of the air to the point whare the last stages can function
effectively, equalizing the work of compression throughout all stages of the compressor.
Turbine Cooling Air System
The Turbine Cooling Air System performs two basic functions. The first function Is to
provide direct cooling of components exposed to hot gas path temperatures that are
higher than material temperature limits, The second function is that of turbine
_eenvironmental control. A\ir at the correct pressure and temperature is provided at various
critical points to ensure that the design environment is maintained throughout the
turbine. A large percentage of the cooling air is supplied to satisfy seal leakage
requirements. By having a positive flow of cooling air toward the gas path, hot gases are
excluded from the shell support structure and the turbine blade path disk areas.
‘The turbine stationary vanes and disc cavities are cooled by compressor discharge and
bleed air, The first stage vanes use compressor discharge air routed internally through
the combustor section of the turbine. This air passes from the outer shroud into the
hollow core of the vanes and exits through the internal passages in the vanes to the
trailing edge of the vanes.
‘Second stage vanes and row two disc cavities utilize the 11th stage compressor bleed
air that flows from a manifold on the compressor section, to the turbine cylinder section,
through piping external to the unit. When air enters the turbine section it passes from
the outer shroud, through the vanes, and through an inner shroud into the disc cavity.
‘Some of the cooling air also exits the vanes through passages to the trailing edge. The
‘amount of cooling airflow to the second stage vanes and row two disc cavities is
regulated by means of a regulating valve connected in parallel with a fixed orifice. ‘By
moni
ing actual disc cavity temperatures, the valve can either be opened to provide
more cooling flow, or shut te reduce the amount of cooling flow: The regulating valve is
designed to control the dise cavity temperature at 413°C.

inlot and Variable Guide Vanes
To improve acceleration and compressor surge margin, or stall, during startup and
shutdown, the gas turbine is equipped with compressor bleed valves and variable guide
vanes upstream the compressor stages 4, 2, 3 and 4. Compressor bleed valves and
variable guide vanes function together to limit the airflow and control pressures in the
compressor during starlup and shutdown.
The inlet guide vanes (IGV) are located on the compressor inlet casing assembly
immediately upstream of the 1st stage compressor blades, the variable guide vanes
(VGV1, VGV2 and VGV3) upstream the 2nd, the 3rd and the 4th stage compressor
blades. The vanes are positioned by the turbine control system as a function of the
speed of the turbine during startup and as a function of load and/or exhaust temperature
during operation.
‘On turbine shutdown, either normal or emergency, the guide vanes are closed
immediately following the fuel-off signal.
IGV and VGV Actuator
‘The guide vane actuators are attached to bottom of the compressor casing. The
actuators are double acting hydraulic piston assemblies with an infegral servo valve
controller and position feedback sensor. Each linear IGV, VGV1, VGV2 and VGV3-
actuator moves a circular actuating ring, which is attached to each of the guide vanes by
a mechanical linkage. Movement of the actuator causes the guide vanes to rotate In
unison,
IGV and VGV Position Transmitter
Each device, mounted on the end of the inlet resp. variable guide vanes, converts the
angular motion of the vane to an analog signel which is input to the control system. This
allows accurate monitoring of the position during turbine operation.

‘The air then flows through the inlet shutoff damper located in the intake duct prior to
entering the compressor inlet casing. This damper isolates the filter house from the gas
turbine intake path to prevent ambient moisture from corroding moisture sensitive
components during shutdown.
The shut-off-flap consists of a blade segment arranged upstream the compressor in the
airflow of the duct. In the "closed’-position the damper blade shuts the duct by swivelling
from vertical to horizontal position. Here the damper is sealed by means of a stainless
steal lip opposite of the intake duct. To avoid corrosion, the companion part of the duct is
also equipped with a stainless steel plate.
Limit switches monitor the position of the damper. During gas turbine startup the
dampers are commanded open by the Gas Turbine Sub Group Controller (early in the
startup sequence. A protective signal is also sent to command open the damper if gas
turbine speed exceeds about 240 RPM. If the damper does not open the control system
wil interrupt the startup sequencé. The dampers close approximately 2 hours after the
gas turbine is shutdown. At this point the dehumidification system is placed in operation
to control the humidity at the compressor inlet. :
During standstill periods the
condensation from the vi
ir dryer system reduces the humidity and removes
iy of the vertical intake duct to prevent corrosion of moisture
sensitive components. This is a self contained system with intake and return ducting to
the intake duct just upstream of the compressor inlet. This system draws moist alr from
the compressor inlet and passes the air through a desiccant wheel removing excess
dd air is then retumed to the compressor inlet. A second blower draws
atmospheric air into the dehumidifier, heats the air and passes the heated air over the
desiccant wheel to remove the moisture. This moisture laden air Is then returned to the
