FUEL SYSTEM(S) DUAL FUEL SYSTEMS : GENERAL AND OPERATION 1 General The fuel requirements of the gas turbine are satisfied by either of two fuel systems (dual fuel) that use both mechanical handling and electrical control components. Fuel nozzles, capable of burning either of the two type fuels, natural gas and distillate oil, are incorporated in the design. A liquid fuel system that pumps and distributes fuel from the off-base fuel forwarding system is used to supply the distillate oil flow to the 14 combustion nozzles. When operating on natural gas, a system that includes gas strainers and flow control valves delivers a flow of gas fuel to these nozzles. The text that follows describes the components and the operation of both fuel systems, in addition to the method of changeover from one type fuel to the other. 2 Dual fuel operation Fuel changeover On dual fuel machines with automatic control, the fuel changeover is initiated manually through the fuel selector membrane switch 43 F or automatically by the fuel gas pressure transmitter 96 FG-3. Once initiated, the changeover proceeds automatically to operation on the other fuel system. The manually initiated changeover is accomplished by depressing the desired (either gas or distillate) fuel selector membrane switch 43 F and the "EXECUTE" membrane switch. The automatically initiated changeover occurs only when the transfer is from gas to oil fuel operation. The signal for automatic changeover is given by the fuel gas pressure transmitter 96 FG-3, which operates when the fuel gas pressure drops below a preset value. In normal operation, the desired fuel is selected at startup by depressing either the GAS or DISTILLATE membrane switch (not MIXTURE). If startup was made on gas fuel, changeover to oil (or, distillate) fuel will occur automatically upon loss of the gas fuel pressure. Automatic changeover will only occur after the gas turbine has reached operating speed (14HS is picked up). Operation on oil (or, distillate) fuel will continue until gas fuel pressure is reestablished and changeover is initiated MANUALLY by pressing the DISTILLATE fuel selector membrane switch 43 F first, then the GAS fuel selector switch. Thus the transfer back to gas fuel is NOT automatically initiated. A gradual transition (lasting 30-60 secs) is required to change from fuel gas to fuel oil system. Oil lines are purged of air and filled with oil to avoid delaying delivery of oil when, at the end of transition, oil requirements begin to increase.

FUEL OIL SYSTEM The liquid fuel (distillate oil) system pumps and distributes fuel as supplied from the fuel forwarding system, to the fourteen fuel nozzles of the combustion system. The fuel system filters the fuel and divides the fuel flow into 14 equal parts for distribution to the combustion chambers at the required pressure and flow rates. Controlling the position of the fuel pump bypass valve VC3-1 regulates the amount of fuel input to the turbine combustion system by varying the amount of bypassed fuel. Information on control of the fuel system is provided in the "Control and protection systems" in this volume. The fuel system shown in the schematic diagram, Figure LF-1 is comprised of the following major components plus several other control devices, switches and gauges.

Functional description of the fuel oil system Low fuel oil strainer Fuel oil at low pressure from the fuel forwarding system, flows through a low pressure oil filter (strainer) and fuel stop valve prior to entering the fuel pump. The type strainer housing contains a filter screen to remove any extraneous particulate residue left in the fuel lines after installation. The strainer screen is to be removed after the initial 600 hours of operation and the strainer housing must be cleaned and flushed upon removal of the screen prior to placing the turbine into service. Clean fuel is normally supplied to the turbine system ; however, during this initial period the low-pressure fuel strainer prevents contaminants from entering the fuel oil stop valve and the fuel pump, thereby preventing possible damage or improper functioning of these components. Fuel oil stop valve Fuel oil stop valve VS 1 is an emergency valve, operated from the protection system, which shuts off the supply of fuel to the turbine during normal or emergency shutdowns. This valve is a special purpose, hydraulically operated, two positions (open and closed) valve with a venturi disc and valve seat. When the turbine is shut down in the normal sequence, or by an emergency, the fuel oil stop valve will fully close within a 0.5 second total elapsed time. During normal operation of the turbine the fuel trip valve is operated by electrical information issued from the SPEEDTRONIC in normal conditions, the fuel trip valve 20 FL is held in a position that allows hydraulic oil to flow between the control servovalve and the hydraulic cylinder. For normal start up and shutdown sequence operation and for electrical trips from the control panel, an electrohydraulic trip servo-valve shuts off the hydraulic oil flow to the fuel oil stop valve hydraulic cylinder. The spring in the fuel oil stop valve then overcomes the oil pressure and closes the valve. Fuel pump The fuel pump PF1 is a positive displacement continuous output screw type pump with two sets of opposed screws. The integral shaft screws are end mounted in roller bearings that are oil lubricated. The bearings and timing gears are supplied with lube oil from the main lube oil header and are sealed off from the fuel oil pumping chamber by internal mechanical seals. The pump is driven directly from the turbine driven accessory gear ; therefore, fuel pump speed is directly proportional to turbine speed. The fuel pump discharge flow at any given turbine speed is greater than the turbine combustion requirements at that speed. Liquid fuel pressure switch 63 FL-2 indicates that inlet fuel pressure is established. It is used as a permissive to energize the fuel pump clutch solenoid 20 CF-1. In case of loss of pressure while the turbine is running, 63 FL-2 will trip the turbine. Fuel pump discharge relief valve The fuel pump discharge relief valve, VR-4, is located in a loop between the discharge and inlet of the p ump. The valve prevents the fuel oil pressure from getting high

enough to rupture any lines in the event of a flow divider malfunction or freeze up. This valve is set to operate in the range of 1200 to 1300 psi and relieves back into the inlet pipe. Fuel bypass valve High pressure flow from the pump is modulated by the servocontrolled bypass valve assembly VC3-1. Components of this assembly include the bypass valve body, electrohydraulic servovalve 65 FP, and the hydraulic cylinder. This bypass valve is connected between the inlet and discharge sides of the fuel oil pump and meters the flow of fuel to the turbine by subtracting excess fuel delivered by the pump and bypassing it back to the pump inlet. Servovalve 65 FP controls the bypass valve position according to the difference requirement and the sensed fuel flow. If the fuel requirement exceeds the actual oil flow, the bypass valve closes to increase the net oil flow to the turbine. The servovalve uses high pressure hydraulic oil (OH) (cleansed of contaminants by a metal filter FH31) to actuate the hydraulic cylinder and thus position the bypass valve. High pressure fuel filter Fuel oil pump discharge pressure passes through the secondary (high pressure) fuel filter FF2-1 as it flows from the fuel pump to the flow divider. This full flow, high pressure filter helps to assure that contaminants and pipe scale are retained and prevented from entering the flow divider, thereby preventing possible damage or improper operation of this component. There are two filters FF2-1 and FF 2-2,, with a manuel transfer valve, equipped with isolating valves. A panel mouted differential manometer is connected to indicate directly the pressure drop through the filter. There is one filter equipped with isolating valves. Filter differential pressure is controlled by 63 LF-3 pressure switch. Should the pressure increases above a preset value indicating fouling of the filter, pressure switch 63 LF-3 will cause an alarm to be annunciated. Flow divider The flow divider FD1-1 equally distributes input fuel flow to the 14 combustion nozzles. The continuous flow, free-wheeling flow divider consists of 14 gear pump elements in a line arrangement having a common inlet with a single timing gear. This timing gear serves to maintain true synchronous speed of each pumping element with all other elements. As the fuel enters the flow divider, each pair of gear elements distributes one fourteenth of the fuel flow into each of the lines going to the fuel nozzles. The divider of flow FD1-1 is equipped with starter motor 88 FM. This motor helps to make turn the divider of flow during the first moments of the injection of fuel oil and it is stopped when the flames are detected. The speed of the flow divider pumping elements is directly proportional to the fuel flow through the flow divider. Three magnetic pickup assemblies 77 FD-1, 77 FD-2 and 77 FD-3, fitted to the flow divider, produce a flow feedback signal at a frequency

proportional to fuel flow delivered to the combustion chambers. This signal is fed to the SPEEDTRONIC control panel where it is used in the fuel control system. Check valves There is a check valve in each line between the flow divider and the fuel nozzles. The check valve is mounted in each discharge line from t he flow divider near the input connection to each nozzle. These valves prevent fuel oil from continuing to flow when a stop signal is given resulting in a clean cut-off of fuel to the nozzle. These check valves are set at a pressure which is sufficient to prevent the fuel from the forwarding system from breaking through, should the stop valve not close. Selector valve indicator. A 16-position selector valve and pressure gauge assembly is located at the flow divider to allow monitoring of selected fuel oil pressure in the nozzle inlet line. Positions 1 through 14 select the fuel nozzles, position 15 selects the fuel pump inlet pressure, and position 16 selects the fuel pump outlet pressure. False start drain valves (VA 17-1, -2, -5) In the event of an unsuccessful start, the accumulation of combustible fuel oil is drained through false start drain valves provided at appropriate low points in the combustion/turbine area. The false start drain valve, normally open, closes as the turbine accelerates during start-up. Air pressure from the discharge of the unit's axialflow compressor shut-down sequence, the valve opens as compressor speed drops (compressor discharge pressure is reduced). The purging of the ten combustion injector is made automatically by the VP (1-2) valve. It is a normally closed valve. The solenoid valve 20 PF 100 is used to choose the which will pilot the valve. When solenoid valve 20 PF-100 is energized, it is the OH4 oil connection which is used. The solenoid valve 20 PF-100 is used to pilot the valve VP (1-2) : if it is deenergized, it keep the valve VP (1-2) in the normal closed position and if it is energized it permits to open the valve VP(1-2) and thus to do the purge operation The limit switch 33 PF (1-2) permits to indicate the valve VP (1-2) position to the SPEEDTRONIC. The push button 43 FUOP permits to pilot the valve VP (1-2) locally.

GAS FUEL SYSTEM 1 General The gas fuel system is designed to deliver gas fuel to the turbine combustion chambers at the proper pressure and flow rates to meet all of the starting, acceleration and loading requirements of gas turbine operation. A schematic diagram of the gas fuel system is provided in Figure GF-1. The major components of a gas fuel system are the gas stop/ratio and gas control valves located in the gas fuel module. Associated with the two gas valves are the necessary inlet piping and strainer, fuel vent valve, control servovalves, pressure gauges and the distribution piping to the 14 combustion fuel nozzles. The fuel gas stop ratio valve and the gas control valve, two independent valves, are located side by side in the gas fuel piping of the module. The gas fuel flows through the gas stop ratio valve and then into the gas control valve on its way to the gas manifold and individual combustion chambers. The position of each valve is servo controlled by electrical signals from the gas turbine SPEEDTRONIC control system. Both the gas stop ratio valve and the gas control valve are actuated by single-acting, hydraulic cylinders. The following major components comprise the gas fuel system : Strainer Gas fuel stop solenoid valves 20 FGS Gas fuel control solenoid valves 20 FGC Fuel gas supply pressure alarm switch Gas stop ratio valve VSR Gas control valve VGC Stop ratio LVDT 96 SR-1,-2 Gas control valve LVDTs 96 GC-1, -2 Stop ratio valve-control servovalve 90 SR-1 Gas control valve-control servovalve 65 GC Gas fuel dump valves VH 5 and VH 12 Gas fuel vent solenoid valves 20 VG-1 Lines to the 14 combustion chambers

2 Functional description of the gas fuel system General The gas control valve and the gas stop ratio valve, although similar, each perform separate functions. The fuel gas control valve meters fuel for use by the combustion chambers. It is activated by a SPEEDTRONIC control signal to admit the proper amount of fuel required by the turbine for a given load or speed. The fuel gas stop ratio valve is a dual function valve. It serves as a stop valve to shut off fuel flow to the turbine whenever required during either normal operation or in an emergency shut-down situation. The stop ratio valve also serves as a pressure regulating valve to hold a known fuel gas pressure ahead of the gas control valve and enable the gas control valve to control fuel flow over the wide range required under turbine starting and operating conditions. Because of these dual functions the valve is sometimes called a stop/speed ratio valve. Gas strainer A gas strainer is located in the purchaser's gas fuel supply line ahead of the gas strainers. Foreign particles that may be in the incoming fuel gas are removed by the strainer. A blowdown connection on the bottom of the strainer body provides for periodic cleaning of the strainer screen. Frequency of cleaning will depend on the quality of the fuel gas being used. The strainer should be cleaned shortly after full turbine load has been attained for the first time and after any disassembly of the purchaser's fuel gas lines. Strainer installed on starting of enging and after all greater interventions on gas fuel line will be imperatively taken out after 500 hours of use. Gas stop/ratio and gas control valves The gas control valve regulates the required control valve area and utilizes an hydraulic cylinder controlled by an electrohydraulic servovalve. The gas control valve provides a fuel gas metering function to the turbine in accordance with its speed and load requirements. The position of the gas control valve (hence fuel gas flow to the turbine) is a linear function of a Fuel stroke reference voltage (FSR) generated by the SPEEDTRONIC control. The control voltage generated acts to shift the electrohydraulic servovalve to admit oil to, or release it from, the hydraulic cylinder to position the gas control valve so that the fuel gas flow is that which is required for a given turbine speed and load situation. A dump valve VH 12 is operated by trip oil acting on the piston end of a spool. An hydraulic trip solenoid valve, 20 FGC-1, is located in the trip oil line to the dump valves. When the trip oil pressure is normal and the 20 FGC-1 solenoid valve is energized to reset, the spool of the dump valve is held in a position that allows hydraulic oil to flow between the control servovalve and the hydraulic cylinders. In this position, normal control of the gas control valve is allowed. The control voltage generated acts to shift the electrohydraulic servovalve to admit oil to, or release it from, the hydraulic cylinder to position the gas control valve so that the fuel gas flow is that which is required for a given turbine speed and load situation. The gas stop/ratio valve is similar to the gas control valve. The ratio function of the stop ratio/valve provides a regulated inlet pressure for the control valve as a function of turbine speed. The SPEEDTRONIC pressure control loop generates a position signal to position

the stop ratio valve by means of a servovalve controlled hydraulic cylinder to provide required intervalve pressure. The gas stop ratio valve functions as a stop valve in the fuel gas system to provide a positive fuel shut off when required by either normal or emergency conditions. Any emergency trip or normal shut-down will trip the valve to its closed position. This is done either by dumping hydraulic oil from the valve's hydraulic cylinder or driving the position control closed electrically. A dump valve VH 5 is operated by trip oil acting on the piston end of a spool. An hydraulic trip solenoid valve, 20 FGS-1, is located in the trip oil line to the dump valve. When the trip oil pressure is normal and the 20 FGS-1 solenoid valve is energized to reset, the spool of the dump valve is held in a position that allows hydraulic oil to flow between the control servovalve and the hydraulic cylinder. In this position, normal control of the stop ratio valve is allowed. In event of a drop in trip oil below a predetermined limit, a spring in the dump valve shifts the spool to interrupt the flow path of oil between the control servovalve and the hydraulic cylinder. Hydraulic oil is dumped and the ratio valve closes, shutting off gas fuel flow to the turbine. Gas fuel system protective devices Gas pressure transmitter A low gas pressure transmitter 96 FG-1 is installed in the gas piping ahead of the gas stop/ratio valve assembly. This switch initiates a gas fuel pressure low alarm when gas supply pressure drops below the switch setting. It also initiates a transfer to liquid fuel if gas supply pressure drops below its setpoint. Gas fuel vent valves Solenoid-operated valve 20 VG-1 is installed in the vent piping between the gas stop/speed ratio and gas control valve. When the turbine is shut down, any gas fuel that might accumulate in the compartment between the stop/speed ratio and gas control valves, vents to atmosphere through the piping. It also ensures that no gas fuel will leak past the closed gas control valve to collect in the combustors or exhaust. Limit switch 33VG-11 controls the full openning of the 20 VG-1, if not it activates an alarm. Pressure transmitters Pressure transmitters, 96 FG-2A, -2B, -2C are installed in the fuel system on the gas fuel discharge side of the stop/speed ratio valve, to provide the operational pressure feedback signal to the SPEEDTRONIC control system. The dc voltage output signal is the median of the 3 transmitters readings. Servo-hydraulic supply filters A filters FH 7-1 and FH 8-1 are installed in the hydraulic supply to the speed ratio and gas control valve servo-valves 90 SR and 65 GC to provide 15 microns filtration. A high filter differential pressure indicator is included.

FUEL PURGING SYSTEM Gas fuel purging system A special circuit is provided to purge the circuit to the gas fuel nozzles of the 14 combustion chambers with atomizing air, from the gas manifold located upstream of the combustion system. This gas fuel purging system is actuated during fully liquid fuel operation of the unit. When the gas turbine is operating on liquid fuel, solenoid valves 20 PG-1, -2 are energized and allow filtered atomizing air to actuate pneumatic valves VA 13-1 and VA 13-2. Being actuated, VA 13-1 and VA 13-2 allow atomizing air from another feeding piping to reach the gas manifold located upstream of the combustion system. Limit switches 33 PG-2 and 33 PG-4 check that valves VA 13-1 and 13-2 are fully opened, and if not, they will cause an alarm to be annunciated. Solenoid valve 20 VG-2 is energized when 20 PG-1, -2 are energized, so that no intervalve atomizing air be vented to atmosphere. Purge pressure switch 63 PG-1 will alarm if excessive pressure builds up betwen the valves, indicating the presence of too much gas. On the contrary, during fuel gas operation of the unit, solenoid valves 20 PG-1, -2 are deenergized, so shutting off the pneumatic actuation of VA 13-1 and VA 13-2. Therefore, these valves are closed and no atomizing air reaches the gas fuel manifold. Limit switches 33 PG-1 and 33 PG-3 check that VA 13-1 and VA 13-2 are closed, so allowing solenoid valve 20 VG-2 to be de-energized and intervalve piping to be connected to atmosphere. Purge air system As stated above, the bypass valve is open and atomizing air is recirculating. After a short time delay, to allow the pressure ratio (regulated by valve VPR 54-1) of the atomizing air system to reach a lower level, solenoid valve 20 PL-1 is energized. The system then starts operating to purge the oil passages in the oil fuel nozzles during gas fuel operation. The purge air system is necessary to prevent accumulation of oil fuel in the nozzle oil passages, during gas fuel operation, and fouling of the nozzles as a result of oil fuel coking. The purge system minimizes such fouling, and keeps the oil fuel nozzle clean and ready for operation when oil fuel operation is resumed. The small flow of air through the atomizing air passages of the oil fuel nozzle also prevents entry of any combustion products that could foul this section of the oil fuel nozzle. Initially, compressor discharge air (AD) is used to operate purge valve VA 19-1. At a point in the compressor discharge piping, after filter FA4 compressor discharge air is taken off in a separate piping and pressure regulated by valve VPR 54-1. Regulated air is piped to the energized solenoid valve 20 PL-1. When solenoid valve 20PL-1 is energized, operating air (from the turbine compressor discharge) is admitted to the diaphragm of purge air valve VA191 which opens, allowing purge air (atomized) to flow into the purge air manifold on the turbine. A porous filter (FA3) is installed in the purge air piping ahead of the purge valve. The purge air check valves, (VCK2-1 to 14) one for each nozzle, are connected into the oil feed lines to the nozzles. These purge air check valves prevent oil fuel from entering the purge air system when the machine is operating on oil fuel. Similarly, the oil fuel check valves installed in the oil piping to the oil fuel nozzles insure that the purge air is directed to the nozzle and not into the oil fuel system. If any oil leakage should occur through the purge air check valves when operating on oil fuel, it will drain out of the purge air manifold through the normally open port of
