  • Page 15 GE Power Systems Gas Turbine Introduction Reformated, September 1991 GENERAL Operation of the combustion gas turbine, as of any rotating power equipment, must include a planned pro- gram of periodic inspection, with accompanying repair and replacement of parts as necessary, to ensure the maximum availability and reliability of the unit.
  • Page 16 Introduction Inspection and Maintenance The factors having the greatest influence on the life of parts for any given machine are shown in Fig- ure 1-1. Fuel The effect of the type of fuel on parts life is associated with the radiant energy in the combustion process and the ability to atomize the various liquid fuels.
  • Page 17 Precise estimates of the outage duration resource requirements and costs associated with the inspection of a specific installation may be obtained from your GE Company Apparatus and Engineering Services Operation Representative.
  • Page 18 It is also recommended that the Hot Gas Path inspection be conducted under the technical direction of the GE Company Field Service Representative for accurate analysis of inspection data and most effective use of outage time.

  • Page 108 Temperature switches are pretested, set, and locked in the factory. If trouble is experienced in the field, new pretested and set switches should be ordered. Faulty switches should be returned to the GE Compa- ny for evaluation. These switches should not be tested, adjusted, or reset in the field unless a special Fen- wal Test Kit, Model 80001-0, is available since the settings require close tolerances.
  • Page 109 Inspection and Maintenance Inspection and Maintenance Procedures the control pressure required for that particular valve. Backpressure-regulated valves are preset at the factory and should require no adjustment for normal operation. In most applications, the valve stem is exposed to view, so valve movement can be checked visually or with a dial indicator. For valves that do not have an exposed stem, the valve setting is best accomplished with the valve removed from the stem.
  • Page 110 Inspection and Maintenance Procedures Inspection and Maintenance from that given on the valve nameplate, the valve sensing element may have been improperly assembled into its well or have an improper charge of sensing fluid.

If longer servovalve mounting screws are required to meet minimum thread engagement, verify that the replacement screw does not bottom in the threaded hole.
  • Page 112 Inspection and Maintenance Procedures Inspection and Maintenance Air Filters (Air Extraction Valve) Open the filter petcock and drain off all moisture accumulation. If the amount of moisture appears to be excessive it is suggested that the petcock can be left cracked open for a continuous bleed or the fre- quency of the blowdown inspection be increased.
  • Page 113 Inspection and Maintenance Inspection and Maintenance Procedures AC Motors Examine the collector rings, brushes, brush holders and studs for cleanliness and wear. Collector rings should maintain their polished surface. Brushes should move freely within their holders, but set firmly in contact with the collector rings. Be sure the pigtail conductors are securely fastened to the brush hold- ers.
  • Page 114 If an exchanger tube should develop a leak, it may be possible to plug the tube in the heat exchanger and continue using the bundle. Consult GE for information concerning how many tubes may be plugged in a given heat exchanger and still have the heat exchanger perform satisfactorily in gas turbine service.
  • Page 115 Inspection and Maintenance Inspection and Maintenance Procedures Pipe Couplings Check the couplings for oil leakage due to aging and heat. Replace seals as needed. Lubricate seals prior to each assembly of seals. COOLING WATER SYSTEM Cooling System Checks Cooling system fouling, with consequent performance degradation, must be checked periodically, even though the system is properly rust inhibited.
  • Page 116 Inspection and Maintenance Procedures Inspection and Maintenance Use of a mercury manometer is not recommended.

  • Page 117 Inspection and Maintenance Inspection and Maintenance Procedures Cooling Water Pump Check the pump for seal leakage either when running or stopped. Leakage is usually visible along the pump shaft and/or from the drain port on the seal mounting flange. If there is unusual leakage, it is an indication that foreign material has become lodged between the faces of the seal.
  • Page 118 Inspection and Maintenance Procedures Inspection and Maintenance For additional information on the fuel gas stop ratio and control valve, refer to the Service Manual under the Fuel System tab. HIGH PRESSURE CONTROL OIL SYSTEM — HYDRAULIC SUPPLY Main Hydraulic Supply Pump Visually inspect the pump for seal leakage at the shaft and mounting flange.
  • Page 119 Inspection and Maintenance Inspection and Maintenance Procedures auxiliary hydraulic pump, without properly charged accumulators in service, may result in unnecessary hydraulic hammer and possible system damage. COOLING AND SEALING AIR SYSTEM General Notes Loss of cooling air to various parts of the machine may cause hot wheel spaces, insufficient shell cooling or reduction in bearing sealing air pressure.
  • Page 120 Inspection and Maintenance Procedures Inspection and Maintenance Starting Clutch Visually inspect the spline and clutch jaws for signs of uneven wear, nicks, burrs, or other physical dam- age. Inspect the hydraulic cylinders for leakage. Inspect the linkage, pins and hardware for security. Check the clearances of the clutch jaws in the en- gaged and disengaged positions.
  • Page 121 Inspection and Maintenance Inspection and Maintenance Procedures System Package Lagging The joints in the lagging panels, roof, doors, and base should be inspected for tightness. If the joints are not tight, the loss of medium will be too great to be replenished. The concentration will not buildup inside the compartments to the required value.
  • Page 122 Inspection and Maintenance Procedures Inspection and Maintenance CAUTION Any physical damage to fire detectors such as but not lim- ited to distortion, dents, twisting will cause the fire detec- tors to loose their calibration and serviceability. If any physical damage is found on the fire detectors they should be replaced.
  • Page 123 Inspection and Maintenance Inspection and Maintenance Procedures Two separate tests are necessary to ensure that the low-pressure CO system is ready for operation. These are (1) the electric release test and (2) the “puff” test. Electric Release Test Check the wiring in the circuit by short-circuiting each fire detector in turn.
