System/Event Alarm Shutdown 10 Seconds Later Minimum Load Abort Start Notes Reference

The events listed in this section are conditions that are not specifically handled by the engine control system or which are not part of any of the specific engine or package
systems shown previously in the table. These events are either a single symptom or combination of symptoms with no specific set of setpoints that can be monitored by the
control. These events and conditions must be monitored by the operator and corrected as they occur.
The combinations of conditions shown in this section do not cause any sort of alarm or control action to be initiated; however, individual symptoms that are part of any of the
combinations shown here may cause an alarm or control action, just as they normally would when occurring alone (such as low pressure).

Volume I

2. Not used.
GEK 105061

3. Flameout signal is ignored by the control if XN25 is greater than 9,500 rpm; if a flameout has actually occurred, the loss-of-
flame logic will initiate a shutdown when XN25 drops below the 9,500 rpm threshold and a delay of 320 msec.
4. Control system defaults to remaining sensor/element.

Change 5
5. Defaults to fully closed, zero fuel flow position.
6. Defaults to 14.69 psia (101.3 kPa).
7. Torquemotor current is set to zero.
8. Defaults to 665 psia (4,585 kPa).
9. Emergency Shutdown: Close fuel and bleed valves, VBV to kicker schedule. No motoring of engine allowed.
10. Core VIGV torquemotor current defaults to 0mA (VIGVs closed).
11. Control system defaults to T2 = 115°F (46°C), if both sensors fail.
12. I means Absolute Value - The value of a number, regardless of a prefix plus or minus sign e.g. I -100I= 100.
13. Defaults to T25 = 200°F (93°C), if both sensors fail.
14. Defaults to 200°F (93°C), if both pairs fail.
15. Defaults to higher signal (more closed position).
16. Defaults to higher signal (more open position).
17. Sensor loss overridden at less than core idle plus 60 seconds.
18. Contact the packager if optional redundant temperature sensors (four elements per parameter) are used.
19. Alarm limits are based on component capability and may be reduced, consistent with the characteristics of each installation.
For application and site conditions that have the potential for reaching alarm limits under normal load conditions, active
controls must be available to limit fuel flow before operating limits are exceeded.
20. This alarm/shutdown is enabled 60 seconds after reaching core idle during the starting sequence.
21. Shutdowns caused by stall detection or variable geometry system faults require borescope inspection of the compressors.

23. T48 is the average of individual T48 probe outputs, subject to rejection criteria of Note 25.
24. Limits shown are for the two individual signals from any of the eight probes, as specified.
LM6000 PD

25. Any T48 thermocouple probe reading is rejected from the T48 average calculation if it is:
(1) out of range; T48 <350°F (177°C) or >1,900°F (>1,038°C)
(2) 1,000°F (538°C) > or < 1,000°F (538°C) from T48 average.
26. Reject from spread calculations any thermocouple probe reading that is out of range.
27. These limits apply only at steady state conditions above 9,000 rpm XN25.
28. Alarm is triggered only if the condition persists for 10 seconds or more after initial detection.
29. Emergency shutdown: Close fuel and bleed valves, open gas blowoff valve, VBV to kicker schedule.
30. Defaults to last good value.
GE Industrial AeroDerivative Gas Turbines

31. LP rotor conditions are assessed by use of the highest speed signal from the speed sensors (XN2a, XN2b, XNSDa,
XNSDb).
32. This condition or combination of conditions requires operator intervention, but does not, by itself, cause the control system
to initiate any sort of action.
33. Defaults to higher signal.
34. Sensor removed from pair average.
35. Defaults to 2,000 rpm if both sensors fail.
36. Defaults to last good value if both sensors fail.
37. XN25>4,600 rpm for 0.5 seconds.
38. Defaults to minimum select.
39. Load addition inhibited by control at lube supply temperature less than 90°F (32°C).

Symptoms Possible Causes Troubleshooting Corrective Action
NOTE A starting stall is characterized by a hung start, slow acceleration to idle, lower than
normal fuel manifold pressure (or fuel flow), and higher than normal power turbine inlet temper-

by one or a combination of any of the following symptoms: higher than normal T48, higher than
normal fuel manifold pressure, or XN25 does not increase or is sluggish when power is advanced
from idle.

Notes:
1. When considering the use of alternate fuels, provide details of the fuel constituents, fuel temperature,
and expected engine usage conditions and operating characteristics to GE for evaluation and recom-
mendations.
2. Values and limits apply at the inlet of the gas fuel control module.
3. Heating value ranges shown are provided as guidelines. Specific fuel analysis must be furnished to
GE for evaluation. The standard configured single annular combustor (SAC) gas turbines require a fuel
with an LHV no less than 6,500 Btu/pound. The Dry Low Emissions (DLE) combustion system requires
minimum LHV of 18,000 Btu/pound. (Reference paragraph A1-3.1.)
4. The quantity of sulfur in gas fuels is not limited by this specification. Experience has shown that oxida-
tion/corrosion rates are not significantly affected by fuel sulfur levels up to 1.3% sulfur. Hot corrosion of
hot gas path parts is affected by the presence of the specified trace metals. Sulfur levels shall be con-
sidered when addressing heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) corrosion, selective catalytic reduc-
tion (SCR) deposition, exhaust emissions, system material requirements, elemental sulfur deposition,
and iron sulfide. (Reference paragraph A1-4.3.)
5. The fuel gas supply shall be 100% free of liquids. Admission of liquids can result in combustion and/or
hot gas path component damage. (Reference paragraph A1-4.2.)
6. Wobbe Number, or modified Wobbe Number Index, is described in paragraph A1-3.2.
7. Gases with Wobbe Number Index greater than 40 may be applicable for DLE. Contact GE.

Chemical Composition D2250 - Standard method for chemical composition of gases
by mass spectrography
Notes:
1. Hydrocarbon and water dew points shall be determined by direct dew point measurements (Chilled Mir-
ror Device). If dew point cannot be measured, an extended gas analysis, which identifies hydrocarbon
components from C1 through C14, shall be performed. This analysis must provide an accuracy of
greater than 10 parts per million by volume. A standard gas analysis to C6+ is normally not acceptable
for dew point calculation unless it is known that heavier hydrocarbons are not present, as is most often
the case with liquefied natural gases.
2. This test method will not detect the presence of condensable sulfur vapor. Specialized filtration equip-
ment is required to measure sulfur at concentrations present in vapor form. Contact GE for more
information.

Notes
a. Fuels with a higher sulfur content can be burned. Impact on Hot Section Repair Interval (HSRI) will be dependent
upon alkali metals present in the fuel, inlet air, and injected water and upon engine operating temperature. Consult
GE for review of higher sulfur fuels.
b. The following alternate methods are acceptable: ASTM D1552, ASTM D2622, and ASTM D1266.
c. This limit is considered to include all alkali metals, e.g., potassium and lithium, as well as sodium. Experience,
however, has shown that sodium is generally the predominant alkali metal. This limit also assumes zero alkali met-
als in the inlet air or injected water or steam. When actual levels are above zero, the maximum allowable sodium
content of the fuel must be reduced in accordance with the following relationship:
ppm Na in Inlet Air x Air/Fuel Ratio
+ ppm Na in Water or Steam x Water or Steam/Fuel Ratio
+ ppm Na in Fuel
Total fuel equivalence for sodium from all sources not to exceed 0.2 ppm
d. For nonmarinized engines (except for LM6000), the total amount of alkali metal from all sources shall not exceed
0.1 ppm.
e. To achieve the level of sensitivity for detection of sodium to the level required, an atomic absorption spectrometer
or a rotating disk spectrometer may be necessary.
f. Care must be taken with the more viscous fuels to ensure that the minimum hydrogen content is met.
g. Maximum particle size is 20 micrometers.
h. For marine gas turbines using a hydromechanical main fuel control, the limit is 40 ppm.
i. Legal limits and applicable safety regulations must be met; however, it should be noted that use of fuels having a
flash point in excess of 200°F (93.3°C) may result in unsatisfactory starting characteristics. Blending for enhance-
ment of spark ignition or use of alternate fuels may be required for starting.
j. Copper corrosion test conditions are 2 hours at 212°F (100°C).

C. Remove any safety cable or safety wire from all bushings to be replaced. Ensure that all
safety-cable/safety-wire pieces are removed from VSV area to prevent binding in rotating
elements and to prevent any cable or wire from entering the HPC flowpath (FOD risk).

D. Starting at left horizontal splitline (ALF) and working clockwise, number all bushings using
marking pen.

NOTE

In the event that bushings are replaced randomly, i.e., not a complete
stage is replaced, new bushings should be marked, using the shallow
vibropeen method, on the aft facing edge with the number of engine
hours at time of replacement. This will aid in identifying replaced
bushings and determining length of bushing service.

E. Starting at bushing marked number 1, remove bushings as follows (figure 2):

CAUTION

• Extreme caution must be used when disassembling vane bush-


ings. Once the bushing is removed, the vane may be easily
dropped or rotated in the case. This may cause damage to the
vane which would necessitate replacement. Care must be taken
to maintain control of the vane at all times while the bushing and
attaching hardware are removed, to avoid vane damage and need
to remove HPCS top case.

• Movement of the HPC rotor even in small increments during


bushing removal may cause irreparable damage to the vane and
scoring of the rotor surface. Extreme caution shall be taken to
ensure that the rotor does not turn during this procedure.

cent to the borescope plug. This bolt is configured with a safety-wire
hole and is to be used to safety-wire the borescope plug in position.

(2) Visually check for evidence of locking feature on bolts (7). Lightly coat threads and
seating surfaces of bolts with thread lubricant.

(a) Install self-locking bolts by hand into case. If bolts can be run into case without
stopping, self-locking feature is not adequate. Replace bolt with new bolt.

(b) If bolthole condition does not allow any self-locking fastener to engage locking fea-
ture, remove adjacent self-locking bolt and install two non-self-locking bolts so they
may be safety-wired or safety-cabled together.

(3) Secure bushing (6) with two bolts (7), 1855M35P08 or J644P04F. Install bolts by hand
into case. Maximum installation torque of bolts is not to exceed 40 lb in. (4.5 N·m).
Tighten bolts to 85-105 lb in. (9.6-11.9 N·m) of torque. Install non-self-locking bolts at
borescope locations. Safety-wire or safety-cable bolts to adjacent borescope plug.

CAUTION

When using a screwdriver to hold vane in position, do not apply


excessive force on vane or damage to vane will occur. A nonmetallic
contact surface is recommended.

NOTE

When installing spacer (5), alignment sleeve (4), and jamnut (3) in
upper case or lower case near split line, use step (3). When installa-
tion is in lower case, use step (4).

(4) Install spacer (5), alignment sleeve (4), and jamnut (3) into upper case as follows:

(a) Using small blade tipped screwdriver, apply gentle force against vane stem to hold
vane (9) in position.

(b) Ensuring vane (9) does not turn, remove vane retention fixture.

(c) Install spacer (5) and alignment sleeve (4) onto vane (9). Flat on alignment sleeve
faces forward.

(d) Install jamnut (3) onto vane (9).

(e) Tighten jamnut (3) to 50-70 lb in. (5.6-7.9 N·m) of torque. Replace jamnut if run-on
torque exceeds 20 lb in. (2.3 N·m).

(f) Remove wrench.

CAUTION

Ensure that all stages 3-5 stator vanes have the letter V marked at
top of vane stem. Apex of V shall point forward. Failure to comply
may result in serious engine or part damage.

NOTE

A 0.0 lb in. (0.0 N·m) torque limit implies that vane can rotate with a
minimum force applied. However, it is important to ensure that the
vane assembly is not loose after assembly as a result of a spacer that is
too thin. Vane assembly should be tight and should not rattle or dem-
onstrate any looseness.

(6) Reset torque wrench to 10 lb in. (1.1 N·m). Manually rotate vane (9) several times to
ensure vane is seated. Ensure vane rotational torque is within range of 0 to 10 lb in.
(0.0 to 1.1 N·m). Replace spacer (5) as required to obtain proper rotational torque. A
thinner spacer will reduce rotational torque. A thicker spacer will increase rotational
torque. Record rotational torque.

(7) Small changes to vane rotational torque may be accomplished by lapping spacer (5) face,
using a figure eight motion to remove material. Final surface finish shall match original.

(8) Install new actuation ring sleeve (10) into actuation ring (11).

(9) Install lever arm (2) onto vane (9). Flat on lever arm faces forward. Insert pin end of
lever arm into actuation ring sleeve.

(10) Install locknut (1) onto vane (9) by hand. If nuts can be run onto vane without stopping,
self-locking feature is not adequate. Replace nut with new nut. Tighten locknut to
50-70 lb in. (5.6-7.9 N·m) of torque. Take care when torquing nut to prevent lever arm
damage.

1. Introduction.

A. This subordinate work package contains information concerning installation of core module
external tubing, harnesses, and clamping.

B. The following general instructions shall be met any time tubing, electrical leads, harnesses, or
cables are disturbed:

(1) Unless otherwise specified, the bend radii for an electrical lead, cable, or harness must
exhibit a smooth transition. No kinks allowed.

(2) Electrical connections of heads and harnesses shall conform to the following assembly
points:

(a) Engage the connector with its mating interface and turn knurled coupling ring, while
wiggling the backshell assembly.

(b) After fully seating connector by hand, apply final torque to coupling ring using
teflon-jawed connector pliers. Torque connector 1/4-1/2 turn, or until plier slippage
occurs.

(c) Check for full seating by wiggling accessory assembly. There shall be no movement
with respect to mating connector.

NOTE

It may be necessary to loosen lead clamps that restrict mating.

(d) Repeat substeps (b) and (c), as required. It may be necessary to loosen lead clamps
that restrict mating.

(3) Torque all remaining nuts of misalignment fittings as follows:

Tube Size OD Torque


(inches) (mm) (lb ft) (N·m)
0.75-1.00 (19.1-25.4) 24-26 (32.5-35.2)
1.125-1.50 (28.58-38.1) 20-40 (27.1-54.2)
1.625-2.00 (41.28-50.8) 40-50 (54.2-67.8)

(4) Unless otherwise noted, install all bolts with boltheads forward.

(5) If any external tube or manifold does not fit in the free state at assembly within
0.060 inch (1.52 mm) and is known to be within manufacturing tolerance, it shall be
modified by bending as required. After bending, to obtain the required free-state fit, the
following shall apply:

(a) Part shall conform to original specification and pressure requirements.

(b) Bend radii shall not be less than manufacturing limits.

(c) Coupling nuts shall thread freely by hand.

(d) End flange fittings shall seat flush within 0.005 inch (0.13 mm).

(e) End points of tube or manifold shall align with mating connector with 0.060 inch
(1.52 mm) in all planes.

(f) A minimum clearance of 0.125 inch (3.18 mm) shall be maintained between tube
OD and adjacent parts.

1. Introduction.

A. This subordinate work package contains information concerning installation of the low pres-
sure turbine (LPT) module and turbine rear frame (TRF) external, tubing, harnesses, and
clamping.

B. The following general instructions shall be met any time tubing, electrical leads, harnesses, or
cables are disturbed:

(1) Unless otherwise specified, the bend radii for an electrical lead, cable, or harness must
exhibit a smooth transition. No kinks allowed.

(2) Electrical connections of leads and harnesses shall conform to the following assembly
points:

(a) Engage the connector with its mating interface and turn knurled coupling ring, while
wiggling the backshell assembly.

(b) After fully seating connector by hand, apply final torque to coupling ring using
Teflon-jawed pliers. Torque connector 1/4 to 1/2 turn, or until plier slippage occurs.

(c) Check for full seating by wiggling accessory assembly. There shall be no movement
with respect to mating connector.

NOTE

It may be necessary to loosen lead clamps that restrict mating.

(d) Repeat substeps (b) and (c), as required. It may be necessary to loosen lead clamps
that restrict mating.

(3) Torque all remaining nuts of misalignment fittings as follows:

Tube Size OD Torque


(inches) (mm) (lb ft) (N·m)
0.75-1.0 (19.0-25.4) 24-26 (32.5-35.2)
1.125-1.50 (28.57-38.1) 20-40 (27.1-54.2)
1.625-2.0 (41.27-50.8) 40-50 (54.2-67.8)
2.125 and up (53.9 and up) 50-60 (67.8-81.3)

(4) Unless otherwise noted, install all bolts with boltheads forward.

(5) If any external tube or manifold does not fit in the free state at assembly within
0.060 inch (1.52 mm) and is known to be within manufacturing tolerance, it shall be
modified by bending as required. After bending to obtain the required free-state fit, the
following shall apply:
(a) Part shall conform to original specification and pressure requirements.
(b) Bend radii shall not be less than manufacturing limits.
(c) Coupling nuts shall thread freely by hand.
(d) End flange fittings shall seat flush within 0.005 inch (0.12 mm).
(e) End points of tube or manifold shall align with mating connector with 0.060 inch
(1.52 mm) in all planes.
(f) A minimum clearance of 0.125 inch (3.17 mm) shall be maintained between tube
OD and adjacent parts.

1. Introduction.

A. This subordinate work package contains information concerning installation of engine


assembly external tubing, cables, and clamping.

B. The following general instructions shall be met any time tubing, electrical leads, harnesses, or
cables are disturbed:

(1) Unless otherwise specified, the bend radii for an electrical lead, cable, or harness must
exhibit a smooth transition. No kinks allowed.

(2) Electrical connections of heads and harnesses shall conform to the following assembly
points:

(a) Engage the connector with its mating interface and turn knurled coupling ring, while
wiggling the backshell assembly.

(b) After fully seating connector by hand, apply final torque to coupling ring using
Teflon-jawed pliers. Torque connector 1/4-1/2 turn, or until plier slippage occurs.

(c) Check for full seating by wiggling accessory assembly. There shall be no movement
with respect to mating connector.

NOTE

It may be necessary to loosen lead clamps that restrict mating.

(d) Repeat steps (b) and (c) as required. It may be necessary to loosen lead clamps that
restrict mating.

(3) Torque all remaining nuts of misalignment fittings as follows:

Tube Size OD Torque

6. LPC Stages 1-3 Rotor Blades Removal.

CAUTION

Ensure matchmarks are not erased during maintenance. Improper


installation of components will cause rotor imbalance.

NOTE

This procedure is for removal of any number of LPC stages 1-3 rotor
blades. Instructions for grinding blade tips to meet clearance require-
ments are included in paragraph 7. If an entire stage of blades
requires replacement, contact General Electric Customer Service Rep-
resentative to obtain a set of preground blades.

A. Position mark blades using marking pen. See figure 1, view B. Blade 1 is first blade to right
of right locking lug (aft looking forward).
1
B. Measure blade tip to lower stator case clearance of blades being replaced as follows:

(1) Pull blade radially outward. Shake blade to ensure it is at its most outward position.

(2) Measure clearance between blade tip and edge of lower stator case. Measurement may be
taken from any area on blade tip, provided each blade is measured from the same area.
Record clearance.

(3) Repeat steps (1) and (2) for each blade requiring replacement.

C. Mark centerline of locking lugs on outside diameter of disk or spool using marking pen.

D. Apply penetrating oil to setscrews and allow to soak for 15 minutes.

E. Loosen setscrews of two locking lugs until lugs will slip below surface of retaining slot suffi-
ciently to permit circumferential movement of blades.

F. Rotate entire stage of blades circumferentially (in either direction) approximately one-half
the width of blade platform, until one blade can be removed from loading slot. If necessary,
tap blades as close to platform as possible using hammer and nylon drift.

G. Slide locking lug to loading slot and remove. Record on position map. See figure 2.

NOTE

Run-on torque is the torque value observed while the setscrew is in


motion during one full revolution in the lug. Breakaway torque is the
torque required to start an installed screw rotating in the lug, with no
axial load on the lug (screw is not seated and is stationary at initiation
of torque). Threads of setscrew and lug must be clean and free of
lubricant.
(2) After completion of second cycle, record run-on torque of each screw. Also, check
breakaway torque of each screw. Replace setscrew or locking lug if breakaway torque is
less than 8 lb in. (0.9 N·m).
(3) Install two locking lugs, one on each side of loading slot. Ensure slope of locking lug fol-
lows slope of blade platform.
F. Install one locking blade so cutout on blade platform faces locking lug.
G. Rotate entire stage of blades approximately one-half the width of blade platform, or until last
blade can be installed. Install last locking blade so cutout on blade platform faces locking lug.
H. Rotate entire stage of blades in the opposite direction until locking lugs align with position
marks on disk or spool.
I. Slide blades circumferentially away from an outside locking blade. Measure clearance
between blade platforms. Total accumulated clearance shall be within 0.010-0.020 inch
(0.25-0.51 mm). If this requirement is not met, replace blade or blades adjacent to locking
blades with narrow or wide platform blades of equal weight.
J. Check each blade for shingling of platforms. If blade tends to shingle, replace with blade of
equal weight.
NOTE

If preground blades are installed, proceed to step L.


K. Measure blade tip to lower stator case clearance as follows:
(1) Pull blade radially outward. Shake blade to ensure it is at its most outward position.
(2) Measure clearance between blade tip and edge of lower stator case. Take measurement
from same area on replacement blade tip as that used to measure replaced blade clear-
ance.
(3) Repeat substeps (1) and (2) for each blade requiring replacement.
L. Tighten setscrews in locking lugs to 19-21 lb in. (2.2-2.3 N·m) of torque above the run-on
torque recorded in step E.(2). Top of the locking lug must be even with, or a maximum of
0.025 inch (0.64 mm) below, top of blade platform when blade is fully extended radially.

A 0.0 lb in. (0.0 N·m) torque limit implies that vane can rotate with a
minimum force applied. However, it is important to ensure that the
vane assembly is not loose after assembly as a result of a spacer that is
too thin. Vane assembly should be tight and should not rattle or dem-
onstrate any looseness.
(b) Ensure vane (9) rotational torque on high-boss case (12) is within 0-10 lb in.
(0.0-1.1 N·m).
(c) On high-boss case (12) installation, obtain vane (9) rotational torque as follows:
1 If rotational torque is below limits, replace spacer (5).

2 If rotational torque is above limits, spacer (5) thickness may be reduced by lap-
ping spacer face, using figure eight motion to remove material. Final surface
finish shall match original.

* Vane platform gap requirements shall be met with vane retainers installed.

CAUTION

• Make sure vane spring retainers are installed correctly. Spring


retainers can be installed inverted and may result in parts failure.

• Do not reuse vane spring retainers from a previously operated


engine. Failure to comply may result in part damage.

(b) Install new spring retainer behind platform edge of installed vane. Ensure spring
retainers are installed per figure 32.

(c) Install next vane into retaining slot until further movement requires force. Use nylon
drift or compressor stator vane driver set, 2C6019, to drive against vane platform,
not airfoil. Drive vane over spring retainer until vane platforms contact figure 33.

(d) Install remaining vanes per steps (b) and (c) until all vanes are installed. Install
vanes with borescope platform cutouts, to align with HPC stator case borescope
holes. Number of vanes per case half shall comply with table 8.

(5) Check installation of borescope vanes as follows:

(a) On stages 6 and 10, check that a 0.405-inch (10.29 mm) diameter rod will pass
freely through HPC stator case and platform of vanes.

(b) On stage 12, check that a 0.320-inch (8.13 mm) diameter rod will pass freely
through HPC stator case and platform of vanes.

6. HPC Rotor Blade Replacement General Requirements.

NOTE

An exception to this procedure is compliance with Service Bulletin


LM6000-IND-143, HPCR Stages 1-5 Blade Clearance Increase.

A. Up to 25 percent of all HPC rotor blades or three complete stages of blades can be replaced
using these procedures. If more blades require replacement, core engine replacement is
required.

NOTE

Position mark all blades and balance weights as removed. Any weights
removed must be position marked during removal.

(1) Return balance weights and unchanged blades, removed during replacement of blades, to
original locations.

(2) Damaged blades are replaced with blades of same pan weight where possible, within
following limits: for stages 1 through 3, within 0.5 grams; for stages 4 and 5, within
0.3 grams and for stages 6 through 16, within 0.2 grams. Replace heavily damaged
blades (with pieces missing) with blades of same part number.

B. Ten blades in rotor may be reworked to maximum repairable limits, if worked blades are dis-
tributed uniformly around circumference to reduce imbalance effects.

C. Blend up to 100 percent of blades locally for erosion at tips, if all blades in those stages are
blended by approximately same amount. It is recommended that equivalent of no more than
50 percent of stages be blended to minimum tip-chord erosion limits.

D. If an entire stage of blades require replacement, contact General Electric Customer Service to
obtain a set of preground blades.

E. Gain access to HPC rotor by removing top stator case per WP 2411 00 or by opening top sta-
tor case per SWP 2411 01.

9. HPC Rotor Stage 1 Blades Selection.

NOTE

If individual blades are being replaced, obtain correct blade length


per step A. If all stage 1 blades are being replaced, proceed to step B.
A. If individual blades are being replaced, obtain correct blade length as follows:

(1) Select replacement blade with length equal to or slightly longer than blade being
replaced. Take measurement from bottom of blade dovetail. If replaced blade length can-
not be determined, use length of shorter of two adjacent blades or 0.005 inch (0.13 mm)
less than longer blade, whichever is longer.
WARNING

Do not breathe the particles from grinding or let the particles


touch you. The particles can cause damage, injury, or irritation to
you. Use personal protection equipment. Use local mechanical
exhaust ventilation or an approved respirator.
CAUTION
Power blending shall be accomplished so no excessive heat and ther-
mal stresses are generated. Failure to comply may result in part dam-
age.
(2) Grind replacement blade to correct length, as required. Power tools may be used to
shorten grinding time but last 0.005 inch (0.13 mm) must be hand worked.
4
NOTE

Replacement blades shall be weighed after tip grinding.


B. Weigh replacement blades. Using marking pen, mark weight on blade. If all stage 1 blades
are being replaced, record weights on blade position map, figure 4.
NOTE

If individual blades are being replaced, select blades per step C. If all
stage 1 blades are being replaced, calculate blade position per step D.
C. If individual blades are being replaced, select replacement blade within 0.5 gram of original
blade. Blades replacing those with portions missing shall weigh within 0.5 gram of the aver-
age of eight adjacent serviceable blades. If replacement blade within 0.5 gram is not avail-
able, use blade replacement guide, figure 5.

10. HPC Rotor Stage 1 Blades Installation.

CAUTION

Do not use tools or excessive force to install blade(s), or blade lead-


ing edge/trailing edge damage may occur.

A. Slide adjacent stage 1 blades part way out of disk. Slide blade to be reinstalled into corre-
sponding dovetail slot from forward side of stage 1 disk and engage midspan shrouds. Slide
all adjacent blades back into position.

B. Lift adjacent blades and reinstalled blade radially outward and install new blade retainers
under blades, from aft side of disk. Ensure blade retainer is seated against aft side of blade.
Retainer may be pulled from forward end for proper seating. Do not hammer on aft end of
retainer.

NOTE

If all stage 1 blades are being replaced, proceed to step D.

C. If individual blades are being replaced, measure blade-tip-to-lower-stator-case clearance as


follows:

(1) Pull replacement blade and adjacent blades radially outward. Shake blades to ensure
blades are at most outward position.

(2) Measure clearance between adjacent blade tips close to replacement blade and edge of
lower case. Make same measurement for replacement blade. Ensure replacement blade-
tip-to-case measurement is the same or greater (more clearance) than adjacent non-
removed blades.

(3) Repeat steps (1) and (2) for each replacement blade.

D. Measure clearance between midspan shrouds as follows (figure 6):

NOTE

Round wooden toothpicks may be used as shims.


(1) Tap four wooden shims between each stage 1 blade retainer and disk. Two shims under
forward end of blade retainer and two shims under aft end.

(2) Ensure all blades are seated fully aft, with tangs against disk.

follows:

(1) Pull replacement blade and adjacent blades radially outward. Shake blades to ensure
blades are at most outward position.

(2) Measure clearance between adjacent blade tips close to replacement blade and edge of
lower case. Make same measurement for replacement blade. Ensure replacement blade-
tip-to-case measurement is the same or greater (more clearance) than adjacent non-
removed blades.

(3) Repeat steps (1) and (2) for each replacement blade.

F. Secure stage 2 blade with retainer stop installation tool, 2C6967, as follows (figure 12):
12
(1) With tool stop separated from anvil, install tool so lever arm is under aft end of retainer
stop and anvil holds retainer stop forward face against disk. Install tool stop to anvil.

CAUTION

17. HPC Rotor Stages 3-14 Blades Selection.

NOTE

If individual blades are being replaced, select blades per step A. If an


entire stage of blades is being replaced, calculate blade position per
step B.
A. If individual blades require replacement, select replacement blades as follows:
(1) Select replacement blades with length equal to or slightly longer than blade being
replaced. Take measurement from bottom of blade dovetail. If replaced blade length can-
not be determined, use length of shorter of two adjacent blades or 0.005 inch (0.13 mm)
less than the longer blade, whichever is longer.
CAUTION
Blade part numbers shall be checked before installation. New blade
must have same part number as old blade or comparable number per
Illustrated Parts Breakdown (IPB), GEK 105062.

(2) Select replacement blades of similar platform width distribution of removed blades.
Check that replacement blades have correct part number per IPB, GEK 105062.

B. If entire stage of blades requires replacement, determine blade position as follows:

(1) Using marking pen, number all replacement blades, starting with two of four locking
blades and ending with last two locking blades.

(2) Pan weigh replacement blades and record weight on blade position map. See figure 19.

tory tract. Skin and eye protection is required. Avoid repeated or
prolonged contact. Use in a well-ventilated area.

CAUTION

During handling, protect mating surfaces of mating seal ring and


carbon seal from contamination, including fingerprints. The seal
ring and carbon seal are matched parts; do not interchange.

(2) Lubricate internal elements of carbon seal with lubricating oil. Depress and release car-
bon seal slowly several times to ensure seal operates smoothly.

(3) Apply light coat of lubricating oil onto carbon seal face, seal housing outside diameter,
and face of mating seal ring.

C. Connect customer electrical interfaces as follows:

NOTE

• LM6000 PD gas turbines, serial numbers 192-100 through


192-138, were delivered with a speed sensor mounted on the LPC
casing (this sensor is sometimes referred to as the XN2 speed sen-
sor). When installing an LM6000 PD engine without an XN2
speed sensor (SN 192-139 and up), the XN2 harness connector
should be protected with tape or other suitable means, and an
adjustment must be made to the control system. Control system
tunable switch N2SELSW (contact packager or control supplier to
confirm this parameter name) must be set to False to run with the
LPT (XNSD) sensors only. When subsequently installing a gas tur-
bine with an XN2 sensor, the software switch should be reset to its
original setting (True).

• When installing an LM6000 PD engine that has an XN2 sensor


into a site which does not have cabling to accept this speed input,
the sensor lead should be secured with a nylon wire tie or appro-
priate means to prevent wearing or chafing of the sensor lead.
There is no need in this case to change any software settings.

(1) Connect customer electrical cables as follows:

WARNING
Circuits shall be open (off) and capacitors discharged to ground
before proceeding. Electricity causes shock, burns, and death.

(a) Connect customer electrical cables onto electrical interface panels.

(b) Using bolts, washers, and clamps, secure customer electrical cables onto electrical
interface panels. Tighten bolts to 55-70 lb in. (6.2-7.9 N·m) of torque.

8. Crank/Soak Cleaning.

A. Before initiating crank/soak cleaning sequence, comply with the following requirements:

WARNING
• The enclosure area shall be ventilated. The engine shall be shut
down and cooled prior to crank/soak cleaning. All drains shall
be open.

• Concentrated B & B 3100 solvent, acetone, and isopropyl alco-


hol are flammable and toxic to skin, eyes, and respiratory
tract. Skin, eye, and respiratory protection is required. Avoid
repeated or prolonged contact. Use with good ventilation.

CAUTION

Be certain that checklists have been established for packager-


furnished equipment. Consult the packager’s manual for mandatory
pre-start procedures, especially making sure that the packager-
furnished lube supply sub-system is activated and operational prior
to any motoring sequence. Failure to comply may result in part
damage.

(1) If crank/soak cleaning is not preceded by an extended shutdown period, perform a nor-
mal shutdown (including 5 minutes at core idle for cooling). Refer to Chapter 8,
Volume I of this manual for engine shutdown procedures.

(2) Allow gas turbine to cool so that outside surfaces are less than 200°F (93°C).

WARNING
If natural gas is used to drive the starter, additional safety precau-
tions are required. These include safety measures for combustible
gases and venting of starter exhaust to a safe location.

NOTE

While motoring the engine with the starter, ensure that a minimum
lube pressure of 6 psig (41 kPa) is maintained.

(3) To expedite cooling, motoring starter is permissible. Dry motoring procedures are con-
tained in to Chapter 8, Volume I of this manual. Limit starter duty cycles to those
defined in Chapter 5, Volume I.

LM6000 PD GEK 105061
GE Industrial AeroDerivative Gas Turbines Volume II
WP 4014 00

B. Perform crank/soak cleaning cycle as follows:

(1) Motor HP rotor to 2,000 rpm and allow speed to stabilize. Low pressure (LP) rotor speed
should be 200-300 rpm. Allow LP rotor speed to stabilize before initiating water flow.

CAUTION

In below freezing conditions, antifreeze agents shall be added to the


water. The use of non-isopropyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, and addi-
tives containing chlorine, sodium, or potassium are not permitted
since they may attack titanium and other metals in the engine.

NOTE

• Total solids in the wash and rinse waters shall be no more than 100
ppm. The ph factor shall be between 6.5 and 8.5 at 77°F (25°C).
Potable water will normally meet these requirements. Water-wash
solution should be at room temperature and a flow rate of approxi-
mately 20 gpm (76 liters/minute).

• Residual waste following water-wash with solvent should be dis-


posed of in accordance with local environmental regulations for
the specific geographic location. Users should contact the solvent
supplier for details relative to the solvent used.

• Packager-supplied control system will open the VIGVs and will


close the VBVs.

(2) Inject 20 gallons (76 liters) of water-wash solution through crank/soak water-wash mani-
fold while motoring HP rotor at approximately 2,000 rpm and LP rotor at 200-300 rpm.

(3) After completion of wash solution injection, variable inlet guide vanes (VIGVs), variable
stator vanes (VSVs), and variable bypass valve (VBVs) should be fully closed. Allow
rotors to coast to a stop and the solution to soak for 10 minutes.

GEK 105061 LM6000 PD
Volume II GE Industrial AeroDerivative Gas Turbines
WP 4014 00

NOTE

• For systems with driven equipment having large rotational inertia,


it may not be practical to allow the rotors to coast to a stop. The
soak will be a rolling soak.

• During wash cycle, approximately 10 percent of the water and


cleaning solution will leak through the engine casings and open-
ings to the exterior of the engine.

C. Complete two rinse cycles as follows:

(1) Open inlet drain, bleed air collector drain, exhaust collector drains, and module drains to
remove any wash solution and rinse water after washing is complete.

(2) Use a minimum of 25 gallons (95 liters) of 160 to 180°F (71 to 82°C) water, while
motoring HP rotor at approximately 2,000 rpm and LP rotor at 200-300 rpm.

NOTE

Rinsing performed using unheated water will require more water to


achieve the same rinsing effectiveness as heated water.

(3) After rinsing, shut off water supply.

(4) Regulate pneumatic starter air supply for normal operation.

(5) Open low pressure compressor (LPC) variable bleed valves.

D. As an option, operator may inspect gas turbine to determine if cleaning process was adequate
as follows:

(1) After completion of the rinse cycles, allow rotors to coast to a complete stop.

(2) Borescope inspect LPC and high pressure compressor (HPC) rotors per WP 4015 00,
Volume II of this manual, paying particular attention to stator/blade airfoils.

(3) If excessive contaminants are still present, rewash as required.

E. Make a normal engine start and allow engine to run at synchronous idle for 2-3 minutes to
dry engine.

9. Fiber Light Borescope Set.

A. Description. The fiber light borescope set (borescope), 2C6388, uses fixed focus, rigid lens
optics. The light necessary to view the inside of an engine travels from the light source to the
probe through a flexible fiber light cable (flexible cable). The borescope system usually con-
tains the following parts (figures 2 and 3):
3
2
(1) Type 1 Probe (Probe 1). Probe 1 is a high-magnification rigid variable focus probe and is
used to find and identify most damage in the gas flow path. Probe 1 has:

– A 1:1 magnification ratio at 7.0 inches (177.8 mm)

– A 90 degree angle of vision (AOV)

– A 35 degree field of view (FOV)

– Variable focus

– An immersion length of 20.0 inches (508 mm)

(2) Type 2 Probe (Probe 2). Probe 2 can view objects from 0.375 inch (9.53 mm) to infinity
and is used to do general inspections of the engine. See figure 3. Probe 2 has:

– A 1:1 magnification ratio at 2.0 inches (50.8 mm)

– An 80 degree angle of vision (AOV)

– A 60 degree field of view (FOV)

– Fixed focus rigid probe

– An immersion length of 20.0 inches (508 mm)

(3) For inspections less than 0.25 inch (6.4 mm) away from probe, magnification adapter
permits variable focus. For objects more than 2.00 inches (50.8 mm) away from probe,
magnification decreases.

(4) Magnification Adapter. The magnification adapter has variable focus with 2:1 magnifica-
tion ratio at 2.00 inches (50.8 mm). This permits probe 2 to have more magnification.
The magnification adapter is not recommended for use with probe 1 due to loss of light
intensity. Probe 2 will have brightest image when used with magnification adapter. See
figure 2.

(5) Camera Adapter (Optional). Camera adapter permits inspector to take pictures through
borescope probe when a camera is attached.

(6) Television (Video) Adapter (Optional). Video adapter permits inspector to take video
images or display images on a large screen. It is necessary to use a television/video cam-
era with adapter.

(7) Light Projector (Fiberlight Projector). The fiberlight projector supplies the light source
through flexible cable and probe. Two light sources are available. The 150 watt lamp is
used to do visual inspections of objects near the end of probe. The 300 watt, high-inten-
sity lamp is used for photography, as well as visual inspections of combustion chamber,
HPC inlet areas, etc.

(8) Flexible Fiber Light Cable (Cable). The usual cable is 10.0 feet (3.0 meters) long. An
optional cable that is 8.0 feet (2.4 meters) long is also available.

(9) Eyepiece Adapter (Optional). The eyepiece adapter is used to help prevent eye strain
when borescope is used on engine. It also makes borescope procedure more comfortable
for the user. The eyepiece adapter makes viewing easier by limiting the amount of light
permitted to enter around inspector's eye.

B. Description. The following are optional tools used with the borescope set:

(1) MSE-64 Back-Lighted Conformation Tool. The back-lighted conformation tool is used
to measure optical resolution of borescope system. This is accomplished by directing
light from borescope probe to the back of the back-lighted conformation tool and then
comparing the resolution to the information on a resolution chart. It is necessary to use
the high-intensity light source with a Gemini 300 lamp and a cable that is 10.0 feet
(3 meters) long to do the test.

(2) 856A1321 Fiberscope (Flexible -I-pe). The flexible fiber optic system has an articulated
distal tip. The light for viewing is conducted from the projector to the probe through an
integrally attached fiber light bundle. The distal end can be angulated over a range of
240 degrees of arc vertically at the bending point. The fiberscope is to be used with the
2C6948 guide tube when borescope inspecting the high pressure turbine (HPT) shrouds.

(3) 2C6948 Guide Tube. The guide tube is to be used with the flexible type fiberscope when
borescope inspecting the HPT shrouds.

C. Borescope Set Assembly and Use.

WARNING

• Improperly grounded electrical equipment can cause severe


shock or death. Equipment shall be properly grounded before
use.

• To maintain explosion protection, do not operate borescope if


lamp module pressure is not within specified limits.

CAUTION
• Do not do a borescope inspection if the temperature inside the
engine is above 150°F (65.6°C).

• If the engine starter is used to motor the engine, the engine hot
section inspections shall be done in less than 20 minutes after the
motoring cycles are completed. Local temperature rise due to
engine temperature soak-back may damage the borescope.

(1) Select which probe to use. Use type 1 probe for high magnification and type 2 probe for
general inspections. Use fiberscope for HPT stage 1 nozzle inspection.

(2) Connect one end of cable to probe and other end to light source.

CAUTION

Before you connect the light source to a power source, be sure that
the on-off switch is in the OFF position. Ensure the light source and
the power supply are correctly grounded.

(3) Check that light source power switch is in OFF position. Connect electrical cable from
light source to a grounded power source.

(4) If necessary, attach magnification adapter to probe eyepiece. If you use probe 1, focus
probe before you attach magnification adapter.

(5) If film records are necessary, attach recording equipment as follows:

(a) If photographs are to be taken, attach camera adapter to a 35mm camera. Attach
camera and adapter to eyepiece on probe.

(b) If a movie/video is to be taken, attach television adapter to television/video camera.


Attach adapter and camera to eyepiece on the probe.

(6) If it is difficult to look through probe when probe is in port, attach 60 or 90 degree angle
adapter to probe eyepiece.

(7) Adjust light intensity through probe as follows:

(a) Move power switch on light source to ON position.

NOTE

The photo arc light circuit has a thermal delay cutout that prevents the
light source from being turned on if it is too hot.

(b) After inserting probe in engine borescope port, adjust light intensity to get correct
illumination.

10. Low Pressure Compressor (LPC) Borescope Inspection.

CAUTION

• To prevent foreign objects from entering the gas turbine, keep


borescope ports covered when they are not being used. Open one
port at a time.

• Do not use borescope continuously for more than 2 hours at a


time. Cool light bundle to room temperature before reuse.

NOTE

7. Chip Detector Inspection.

A. Visually inspect chip detectors for foreign material (figure 3). If any foreign material is
found, analyze, and perform corrective action as follows:
3
(1) Isolate source of foreign material by identifying area from which material was scav-
enged. Check lube and scavenge pump screens per WP 4020 00.

(2) Visually examine suspect material for identification of source. If material can be visually
identified as bearing material, such as roller, ball, and/or race fragments, component
replacement is the required corrective action. Bearing races, rollers, and balls are mag-
netic, therefore, separating out any magnetic materials will help identification. See
table 1.

(3) Main gas turbine bearing distress normally increases lube scavenge temperatures and gas
turbine vibration. Review gas turbine log sheets for significant changes in gas turbine
logged parameters.

(4) If suspect material is found on TGB chip detector or in TGB screen, source must be fur-
ther identified. Remove lower drain plug and inspect TGB/A-sump area for any distress.

(5) If suspect material is identified as bolt or rivet fragments, replace component as indicated
by screen identity. Bearing cage rivets indicate a radial drive shaft failure.

(6) If suspect material is identified as pieces of preformed packing, gasket, safety wire, coke,
machining chip, or seal rub strip material, place gas turbine on watch, e.g., check and
clean chip detectors and scavenge pump screens daily and monitor lube system parame-
ters until problem is located or chip detectors and screens are clean for two consecutive
days, then resume normal inspection intervals.

(7) If more information is required, contact customer support manager for clarification.

B. If chip detector is suspect of malfunctioning, check continuity as follows:

(1) Remove electrical connector per WP 1910 00.

(2) Check for open continuity of pins to housing and all pins to each other.

(3) Check continuity across chip detector tip control surfaces. Continuity shall not exceed 10
ohms.

(4) If chip detector fails any of these checks, replace chip detector. Refer to Chapter 10, Vol-
ume I of this manual for electrical lead and chip detector wiring schematics and trouble-
shooting tables.

(5) Install electrical connector per WP 1910 00.

8. Chip Detector Installation.

WARNING
• Drycleaning solvent, P-D-680, type II, is flammable and toxic
to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Skin, eye, and respiratory
protection is required. Avoid repeated or prolonged contact.

E. AGB Scavenge AGB failure Replace AGB (Note 1)
NOTE:
Some packager and GE supplied components use gas turbine lube oil and are scavenged through
the AGB. Material in the AGB could be indicative of failure of the gearbox mounted components
and not failure of the AGB itself.

(2) Visually examine suspect material for identification of source. If material can be visually
identified as bearing materials, such as roller, ball and/or race fragments, required cor-
rective action is component replacement. Bearing races, rollers, and balls are magnetic,
therefore, separating out any magnetic materials will help identification. Material prop-
erty analysis may be required. Main engine bearings cannot be replaced on-site. Main
engine bearings may be replaced at depot level. Main bearing failures require replace-
ment of gas turbine or module. See table 1 for possible corrective action details.

(3) Main gas turbine bearing distress usually increases lube scavenge temperatures and gas
turbine vibration, therefore, gas turbine log sheets should be reviewed for significant
changes in gas turbine logged parameters.

(4) If suspect material is found in TGB screen, source shall require further identification.
Inspect TGB/A-sump area for any distress.

(5) If suspect material is identified as bolt or rivet fragments, replace component as indicated
by screen identity.

(6) If suspect material is identified as pieces of preformed packing, gasket, safety wire, coke,
machining chip, or seal rub strip material, place gas turbine on watch, e.g., check and
clean scavenge pump screens daily and monitor lube system parameters until problem is
located or screens are clean for two successive days, then resume normal inspection
intervals.

1. Introduction.

Engines operated with compressor stators with misassembled, bent, or broken lever arms with
broken connector links, or with actuation rings with elongated lever arm pin holes will result in
an off-schedule vane condition. This condition requires special handling of compressor rotor
blades in the stages adjacent to the vane stage containing the discrepant lever arm or connector
link.

6. Variable Stator Vane Off-Schedule Operation Inspection.

A. Inspect variable stator vane (VSV) lever arms as follows:

(1) Using sight gage tools, determine amount of off-schedule. Use sight gage, 2C6962, for
lever arms assembled to connecting links at the 3:00 and 9:00 o'clock positions. Use
sight gages, 2C6966 and 2C8016, for lever arms assembled to actuation rings. See
figure 1.

(2) Locate the gage over vane tangs and around retaining nut and sleeve. The clear plexiglass
arm extends over the lever arm and has lines scribed at 0 degrees ± 2 degrees, and
± 4 degrees. The centerline at 0 degrees is scribed on both top and bottom. To properly
view through the gage, the centerlines must line up. The angle of bend is determined by
noting where the center of the pin or rivet is viewed among the scribed lines.

B. If an off-schedule condition is found, proceed as follows:

(1) Record affected stage and number of degrees of off-schedule condition.

(2) Complete corrective action requirements per table 1.


Table 1. VSV Off-Schedule Corrective Action

Condition Corrective Action


1. Off-schedule is 2 degrees or less No action required
2. Off-schedule is more than 2 degrees, but Replace defective VSV actuation
less than 4 degrees components
3. Off-schedule is 4 degrees or more, or has
broken connector link:
a. Inlet guide vanes Replace two downstream stages of HPC
rotor blades per WP 2413 00
b. Stage 1 vane Replace one upstream and two downstream

1. Introduction.

This work package contains instructions for calibration and checkout for acoustics signal
conditioners using a TSU 109 Charge Generator. The charge generator outputs a sinusoidal
picoCoulomb (pC) charge, using magnitudes dialed on the potentiometer and frequency dialed
on the counter. The input magnitude is in peak levels (not peak-to-peak). All calibration check
values are in units to be set on the TSU 109, and the expected output is read at the control
monitor as peak-to-peak.

(1) Ensure CHECK BAT/OPERATION toggle switch (1) in centered in OFF position.

(2) Check battery as follows:

(a) Push CHECK BAT/OPERATION toggle switch (1) up. If batteries are charged,
both +9V and -9V LED (3) will light.

(b) If LEDs (3) do not light, replace batteries.

(c) Return switch (1) to center (OFF) position.

NOTE

The off-engine cable would normally mate to the acoustic sensor.

(3) Install cable (2) with mating Vibrometer Lemo connector, between TSU 109 charge
generator and off-engine cable.

B. Operate TSU 109 charge generator as follows:

(1) Push CHECK BAT/OPERATION toggle switch (1) down to operate TSU 109 charge
generator.

(2) Set output power (O/P) switch (4) in SYM position and set output to 16 pC peak.

(3) Set frequency adjustment (5) at 600 Hz.

(4) Set multiplier switch (6) to nx1.

NOTE

There is a locking mechanism on the potentiometer which must be


moved counterclockwise to allow potentiometer to turn freely.

(5) Unlock potentiometer and turn knob (7) to adjust AMPLITUDE until digit in window
corresponds to first digit (tens) of set point charge value, table 1, and hundred scaled but-
ton of potentiometer to number corresponding to second digit (units) of set point charge
value. Lock potentiometer.

and a range of 0 to 10 psi peak-peak. This range has been used to
determine the expected milliAmp level in the table above.

• Typically, OEM's use 4-20 mA outputs to their control system. The


above expected mA output levels have been provided for your con-
venience. If there is a better way at the control system of determin-
ing the output level, feel free to use it.

(7) Repeat substeps (1) through (7) until all values in table 1 are checked. If values do not
meet expected signal conditioner output value of table 1, replace acoustic signal condi-
tioner, WP 1611 00.

1. Introduction.

This work package contains instructions for testing individual installed fuel nozzles for blockage
by performing a flow test. During this test, the calibration data establishes the limit of the accept-
able supply pressure for each circuit and compensates for existing environmental conditions. If
the supply pressure is lower than the value established by the calibration value for that circuit, the
fuel nozzle opening has some blockage.

6. Fuel Nozzle Flow Test With Fuel Hoses Installed.

NOTE

This procedure flow tests the fuel circuits with a minimum amount of
disassembly. If the tests indicate a supply pressure of 2 percent over
the average fuel nozzle pressure, there may be a leak in the fuel nozzle
or fuel hose. Test the individual nozzle per paragraph 7.
A. Position control valve (figure 1) on control panel to CLOSED position.
WARNING

Ensure regulators are counterclockwise (CCW), to prevent high


pressure air damage to equipment and personnel.
B. Turn pressure regulator valve knob CCW to ensure pressure transducers are not overpressur-
ized.
NOTE

If shop air is not available, then nitrogen (in tank with maximum pres-
sure of 3,000.0 psi [20,684.3 kPa]) can be used but requires use of an
extra regulator, 1C9439P48, provided in the tool's storage case.
Attach the regulator to the nitrogen tank and set the output pressure to
100.0 psi (689.5 kPa). Otherwise, use of the tool is the same as when
shop air is used.
C. Install supply hose (1, figure 2) between filter (2) and shop air or nitrogen. Install supply
hose (3) between filter and inlet connection on control panel (figure 1). Note maximum inlet
pressure is limited to 120.0 psi (827.4 kPa).
D. Connect power cable plug to 110 or 220 volt power supply and turn ON/OFF power switch to
ON position. Ensure that channels 1 and 2 are reading atmospheric pressure.
NOTE

Channels 1 and 2 should agree within 0.15 psi (1.0 kPa). Absolute
accuracy of pressure is not critical to this test but consistency is criti-
cal. If reading drifts with time, calibration or service of manometer
may be required.
E. Set manometer to channel 2 to read SYSTEM PRESSURE. Depress HOLD button when
channel 2 is being displayed.
F. Connect one end of outlet hose (4, figure 2) assembly to outlet connection nipple on control
panel.

WARNING

Pressure of 100 psig (689.5 kPa) exists in the supply lines. Relieve
pressure to prevent injury when disconnecting fittings.

(8) Turn control valve to CLOSED position, and close pressure regulator. Always relieve
pressure in system any time hose connection is changed.

(9) Disconnect outlet hose assembly (4, figure 2) from calibration nipple, 1C9449 (5).

(10) Repeat calibration steps (2) through (9) for other circuits being evaluated.

NOTE
It is recommended to flow test each fuel nozzle in the same ring circuit
before testing the next ring circuit.

H. Disconnect fuel hoses for all nozzles at B-ring manifold (3 places).

I. Test gas system circuits of fuel nozzles as follows:

NOTE

Three circuits on each fuel nozzle are labeled AN, AL, and AM
(figure 3 and figure 4).

(1) Connect end of outlet hose assembly (4, figure 2) not connected to control panel onto
nipple corresponding to sonic circuit being evaluated. See table 2.

(2) Turn control valve (figure 1) to setting 0.022, 0.044, or 0.063 for sonic nozzle position
being tested per table 2. Set manometer to channel 2 to display system pressure, and
increase pressure by adjusting pressure regulator valve slowly, until system pressure is
19.0 psia (131 kPa).

(3) Change to channel 1 on manometer and read SUPPLY PRESSURE for circuit by press-
ing SCAN button to change channel and then hold button to hold channel. Record chan-
nel 1 supply pressure.

NOTE

The calibration nipples are sized to correspond with a partially


blocked fuel nozzle (approximately 10 percent blockage). If supply
pressure obtained in the flow check is less than the calibration supply
pressure, then there is more than 10 percent blockage and nozzle
cleaning is required.

(4) Compare supply pressure for this circuit to supply pressure for all the fuel nozzles in the
set by plotting as shown in (figure 5). If supply pressure is lower than average fuel noz-
zle pressure in the set by 2 percent or more, then some blockage exists in the fuel nozzle
and the fuel nozzle should be replaced. If supply pressure is more than 2 percent greater
than average fuel nozzle pressure in the set, then there is a possible leak in the fuel noz-
zle or hose. Retest that nozzle, using paragraph 7, to determine if the leak is in the fuel
nozzle. If test per paragraph 7 shows normal pressure, then hose may have a leak and
should be pressure-tested or replaced. If fuel nozzle pressure remains greater by 2 per-
cent or more than the set average, then replace fuel nozzle and return removed nozzle for
overhaul.

(5) Disconnect outlet hose from nipple.

(6) Remove adapter, coupler, and nipple from fuel hose (figure 3).

(7) Repeat steps (1) through (4) for all fuel nozzles in circuit.

WARNING
Pressure of 100 psig exists in the supply lines. Relieve pressure to pre-
vent injury when disconnecting fittings.

J. Repeat steps H. and I. for A-ring and ELBO/C-ring nozzles.

K. Once all circuits have been evaluated, turn control valve (figure 1) to CLOSED position and
close pressure regulator valve.

L. Turn power switch to OFF and disconnect power cable cord and all hoses.

M. Store all loose items in storage container.

N. Reconnect fuel hose assemblies to ELBO manifold, A-manifold, and B-C-manifold per

J. Test gas system circuits of fuel nozzles as follows:

(1) Using gasket, 1C9449P03, and capscrews, MS16995-78, install adapter plate,
1C9449P02, onto fuel nozzle being evaluated. See figure 3.

NOTE

Adapter plate, 1C9449P02, has three nipples that correspond to the


three circuits on each fuel nozzle. They are labeled An, AL, and AM on
the plate.

(2) Connect end of outlet hose assembly (4, figure 2) not connected to control panel onto
nipple corresponding to sonic circuit being evaluated. See table 2.

(3) Turn control valve (figure 1) to setting 0.022, 0.044, or 0.063 for sonic nozzle position
being tested per table 2. Set manometer to channel 2 to display system pressure, and
increase pressure by adjusting pressure regulator valve slowly, until system pressure is
19.0 psia (131 kPa).

(4) Change to channel 1 on manometer and read SUPPLY PRESSURE for circuit by press-
ing SCAN button to change channel and then hold button to hold channel. Record chan-
nel 1 supply pressure.

NOTE

The calibration nipples are sized to correspond with a partially


blocked fuel nozzle (approximately 10 percent blockage). If supply
pressure obtained in the flow check is less than the calibration supply
pressure, then there is more than 10 percent blockage and nozzle
cleaning is required.

(5) To determine if there is blockage in circuit, compare supply pressure fro this circuit to
supply pressure determined for corresponding test stand adapter, step G. If supply pres-
sure is lower than calibration supply pressure, some blockage in fuel nozzle exists.
Replace fuel nozzle and return removed nozzle for overhaul. No blokage existes if sup-
ply pressure, when connected to fuel nozzle, is higher than supply pressure in corre-
sponding circuit in calibration block.

(6) Repeat steps (1) through (5) for all circuits being evaluated.

WARNING

Pressure of 100 psig (689.5 kPa) exists in the supply lines. Relieve
pressure to prevent injury when disconnecting fittings.

K. Once all circuits have been evaluated, turn control valve (figure 1) to CLOSED position and
close pressure regulator valve.

L. Disconnect outlet hose assembly from nipple on adapter plate and remove adapter plate from
fuel nozzle.

M. On duel fuel systems, test liquid fuel system circuits of fuel nozzles as follows:

(1) Using adapters and nipples from test stand adapter, 1C9449, install adapters onto fuel
nozzle nipples. Tighten adapters to 270-300 lb in. (30.5-33.9 N·m). Attach nipples to
adapters figure 4.

NOTE

The 3-cup fuel nozzle has three nipples. They are labeled A, B, and C
per figure 4. The 2-cup fuel nozzles have two nipples. They are
labeled A and B per figure 4

(2) Connect end of outlet hose assembly not connected to control panel onto nipple corre-
sponding to sonic circuit being evaluated (4, figure 2). See table 2.

(3) Turn control valve (figure 1) to setting 0.022, 0.044, or 0.0633 for sonic nozzle position
being tested per table 2. Set manometer to channel 2 to display system pressure, and
increase pressure by adjusting pressure regulator valve slowly, until system pressure is
19.0 psig (131 kPa)

(4) Change to channel 1 on manometer and read SUPPLY PRESSURE for circuit by press-
ing SCAN button to change channel and then hold button to hold channel. Record chan-
nel 1 supply pressure.

(5) To determine if there is blockage in circuit, compare supply pressure for this circuit to
supply pressure determined for corresponding test stand adapter, step G. If supply pres-
sure is lower then calibration supply pressure, some blockage in fuel nozzle exists.
Replace fuel nozzle and return removed nozzle for overhaul. No blockage exists if sup-
ply pressure, when connected to fuel nozzle, is higher than supply pressure in corre-
sponding circuit in calibration block.

8. Fuel Nozzle Flow Test Analysis.

A. Plot the supply pressure, obtained from step 6.I. or 7.J., results for individual fuel nozzles in a
given circuit (AN, AL, or AM). See (figure 5) for sample plot.

B. Calculate average supply pressure for circuit being plotted by dividing total of pressures
obtained by number of fuel nozzles tested. When calculating average, do not use values from
any low flowing or high flowing nozzles (outside of + 2 percent range).

C. Calculate 2 percent above and below average supply pressure calculated in step B., and plot
4 percent bandwidth.

D. Replace any fuel nozzle having supply pressure that falls outside 4 percent bandwidth calcu-
lated in step C., per WP 1510 00 or WP 1511 00.

NOTE

Capscrews and washers supplied with blank-off plates are installed


through hose flanges, blank-off plates, and into fuel nozzle tapped
holes.

C. Lightly coat capscrew threads and contact faces with thread lubricant.

CAUTION
• Excessive torque on one capscrew will result in fuel hose assem-
bly pad improperly seating onto fuel nozzle.

• Improper seating of fuel hose assembly will result in fuel


leakage.

• Do not exceed 15 lb in. (1.7 N·m) of torque during initial seating


of hose assembly plate onto fuel nozzle, or distortion may occur.

D. Using crisscross pattern, install four capscrews and washers to seat fuel hose assembly onto
fuel nozzle. Ensure capscrews are lightly tightened.

E. Final tighten capscrews securing fuel hose assembly and blank-off plate to fuel nozzle as
follows:

(1) Using crisscross pattern, tighten four capscrews to 100 lb in. (11.3 N·m) of torque.

(2) Using crisscross pattern, tighten four capscrews to 20 lb ft (27 N·m) of torque.

(3) Using crisscross pattern, tighten four capscrews to 33 lb ft (45 N·m) of torque.

(4) Verify final torque of 33 lb ft (45 N·m) has been applied to four capscrews.

F. Prepare package as follows:

(1) Ventilate package to eliminate any residual vapors.

(2) Ensure package ventilation fans are off. Check package detectors for presence of gas.

(3) Follow site safety requirements.

(4) Using hand-held gas detector, take a vapor reading at package door before entering. If

NOTE

If at any time system pressure drops below 350 psia (2,413 kPa),
repressurize to 500 psia (3,447 kPa).

G. Pressure-test fuel system as follows:

(1) Close vent valve between block valves.

WARNING
Fuel system is pressurized. Use care to prevent injury when dis-
connecting lines.

(2) Pressurize fuel system to 500 psia (3,447 kPa) by opening block valves. If necessary in
order to achieve pressure in manifold, open metering valves.

(3) Close block valves to trap pressure in system, and open vent valve.

(4) Monitor GP1, GP2I, GP2P, and GP2O manifold pressures for pressure decay.

(5) Using hand-held gas detector, check all joints up to staging valves.

H. After successful pressure-testing per above, check B-ring fittings and hoses. B-ring hose is
forward-most hose on fuel nozzle. Check entire length of hose, particularly where flex por-
tion meets rigid section. Tag any hose which is leaking for later replacement.

NOTE

Continuing pressure decay may indicate a leak in that portion of sys-


tem and requires close inspection of the portion of system that is fed by
staging valve that was opened.

I. Open staging valves and check appropriate hoses and fittings as they are opened. Refer to
table 1). Continue to monitor manifold pressure for 5 minutes. Note how much system pres-
sure drops immediately after opening valve. After initial drop, there should be no further
drop in system pressure.

J. After all hoses and fittings have been checked (and repaired/replaced as necessary), open
block valve nearest metering valves to vent system.
