A TURBINES AFFECTED
All European Gas Turbines (EGT) acoustically enclosed turbines.
C CATEGORY
U/V detectors can be changed out in the field.
D DESCRIPTION
It is a known fact that when a hot turbine is shut down, whether by emergency or normal
shutdown, if for any reason the vent fan is not operating, the temperature in the turbine
acoustic enclosure rises rapidly. This temperature can exceed the maximum working
temperature rating of the fire detection system U/V detectors.
E IMPLEMENTATION
After a turbine shutdown, if the U/V detectors have suffered a hot soak with the vent fans
being inoperative, unless the detectors have already been replaced by the higher
temperature rated units, it is strongly recommended that the detectors should be changed.
The replacement units are fitted with higher rated tubes and calibrated to a maximum
working temperature rating of 125 deg. C.
F PLANNING INFORMATION
Users can purchase the higher temperature rated detectors through Customer Support
Centre, European Gas Turbines Limited, Freeman Road, North Hykeham, Lincoln, Lincs.
LN6 9AP. Alternatively contact can be made through the EGT approved area
representative/Repair facility or Service centre.
