FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Gas fuel is first cleaned by passing through a strainer as it comes from the supply piping prior to flowing through the gas valve and into the gas manifold piping. The gas fuel is metered and controlled by the gas valve (gas stop ratio and control valve) to supply the required flow to the gas turbine combustion system. The fuel gas stop ratio and control valve consists of two independent valves(a stop ratio valve and a control valve) combined into one housing assembly. For higher rating Gas Turbines are provided with two separate valves in place of a single assembly. Both the gas stop ratio valve and the gas control valve are stroked by Electro-hydraulic servo actuators. These actuators are single acting type. The fuel gas control valve 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 used to shut off fuel flow to the turbine whenever required. It also controls the pressure ahead of the fuel gas control valve. This enables the gas control valve to control fuel flow over the wide range required under turbine starting and operating conditions. GAS STOP/RATIO AND CONTROL VALVE. The gas control valve part of the gas stop/ratio and 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 electro-hydraulic servo valve 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. Its plug, however, has a steeper taper to provide the high gain necessary to maintain good pressure control. 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 servo valve controlled hydraulic cylinder to provide required inter valve pressure. The gas stop ratio valve functions in the fuel gas system to provide a positive fuel shutoff when required by either normal or emergency conditions. A gas fuel trip is operated by trip oil pressure acting/removal on the piston end of a spool. When the trip oil flows between the control servo valve and the hydraulic cylinder, in this position, normal control of the stop ratio valve is allowed. In event of a drop in trip oil pressure below predetermined limit, a spring in the trip valve shifts the spool to interrupt the flow path of oil between the control servo valve and the hydraulic cylinder. Hydraulic oil is dumped and the stop ratio valve closes, shutting off fuel gas flow to the turbine.
