Hot Shutdown Troubleshooting

Several sites have experienced HPC blade tip-to-case

rub damage due to restart following hot shutdowns
Rub events have resulted in trailing edge liberation of
HPC mid-stages
Hot Shutdown Any shutdown from T5.4 >1150F

Investigation identified following root causes

Package cooling anomalies resulting in uneven
circumferential cooling of the case
Blade tip rubs on 360
Case rubs on one section or 360
Starting with HPC rotor in the bowed condition
Rubs occur on one sector of the rotor blades

Restart Procedure

Emissions Troubleshooting

Scope of Presentation
Where does the emission come from Major Players

Emission/Exhaust products
Basic process for NOx and CO control
Basic process for other emission product
Types of combustors and emission Strategies
Fuel Types
Emission Control Systems on SAC (singular Annular
Combustor) Engines
Emission Control on DLE (Dry Low Emission) Engines
Fuel Quality
Some suggestions for emission control

Major Factors Impacting Emissions
Emission is a result of chemical reaction of two main flow streams

Engine inlet air flow
Fuel
Combustor plays a major role in controlling this chemical reaction
Fuel
Air Combustion Product

Combustor
Note: NOx present in ambient air goes through unaltered while CO and UHC may be chemically reduced
Types of Emission Product
Exhaust Products from aero-derivative engines may include

NOX
Sum of all Nitrogen and Oxygen products like NO, NO2, N2O
CO
CO2
Unburned Hydro Carbons (UHC)
Carbon/particulate
H2O vapors
O2
N2
SO2/SO3
Types of Emission Product
Primary emission products that are typically controlled

or monitored
NOX
CO
UHC
Particulate
Soot/Carbon
SO2/SO3
CO2

Process for Controlling NOX/CO and UHC
Fuel is ignited in the combustor resulting in high

temperature at the flame location (called flame
temperature) A limited window of flame
temperature is desired for
Nitrogen and Oxygen combine at high temperatures required NOx/CO
producing NOx (NO, NO2 & N2O)
Carbon from fuel and Oxygen from air react to first
create CO and then convert CO2 as the combustion
process continues
Some CO is left over due to limited duration of
combustion
Hydrocarbons from fuel are consumed during
combustion process
Some unburned hydrocarbon is left over
Amount of NOx produced generally increases with

increasing flame temperature & duration of combustion
Amount of CO is generally increases with decreasing
flame temperature
Controlling Other Products of Emission
Particulate
Consists of particles of dirt and heavy metals like
Sodium, Potassium, Ash, Vanadium etc usually
present in the atmosphere or fuel
Usually no mechanism to reduce these except
maintaining fuel and air quality & filtration
Soot/Carbon
Usually a result of incomplete or inefficient burning of
fuel
Sulfur Oxides SO2/SO3
Usually a result of sulfur content in fuel.
Controlling Other Products of Emission
CO2
Causes Green House effect
A product of chemical reaction of carbon from fuel
and oxygen from air
Amount of CO2 is directly proportional to amount of
fuel
More power >> more fuel >> more CO2
Same power but worse thermodynamic efficiency >> more
fuel >> more Co2
Inversely proportional to thermal efficiency of gas turbine

Types of Combustors and Fuel for LM products
SAC Combustors
Gas Fuel Liquid Fuel
DLE Combustors
Gas Fuel Liquid Fuel

Types of NOx Control Systems Used for SAC
Combustors
NOx control applies on liquid & gas
fuel systems
No Emission Control
Water Injection
Steam Injection
SCR used for further treatment of Dual Fuel System with water injection
engine exhaust
SCR=Selective Catalytic Reduction Water flows in
secondary manifold
Usually huge and expensive

at upstream location
Could bring NOx/CO down to 1-5 This sketch applies to Duel fuel water
ppm levels
injected system. Hardware design for
injecting water or steam varies for gas
only, liquid only or duel fuel applications

NOx Control for SAC Combustors
Basic idea is to maintain flame temperature within a controlled range

Water or steam is mixed with fuel prior to igniting
When ignited, fuel burns to increase the flame temperature
Water/Steam absorbs some energy to limit the flame temperature
increase
Amount of injected water/steam is controlled according to NOx
requirement
Typically LM engines are capable of 25ppm NOx with Max water injection
If too much water/steam, flame temperature may become too low
Max water to fuel ratio recommended is 1.0
Take Away
Too little water/steam may produce high NOx and too much water may
cause flame out/high CO & UHC

Types of NOx Control Systems Used for DLE
Combustors
Applies to Gas and Liquid fuel systems
Air is mixed in fuel prior to ignition for NOx
control (instead of water/steam)
Fuel pre-misers are used instead of fuel
nozzles
Compressor discharge air flows through
the swirler vanes of pre-mixers
Gas fuel is injected through T/E of swirlers
and liquid fuel injected through the center
body
Air and fuel mix before ignition takes place
Compressor discharge air
Gas fuel injected at T/E of swirlers

NOx Control on DLE Combustors
Basic idea is to maintain flame temperature within a controlled range

Air is mixed with fuel prior to igniting
When ignited, fuel burns to increase the flame temperature
Pre-mixed air absorbs some energy to limit the flame temperature
increase
Unlike water/steam injection systems, airflow in a pre-mixer can not be
externally controlled
DLE system typically contains three rows of pre-mixers placed at different
radial locations
Total compressor exit airflow is distributed to all pre-mixers in a fixed ratio
Desired ratio of fuel to pre-mixed air is maintained by directing fuel to
appropriate number of pre-mixers
This is physically achieved via intricate system of fuel manifolds and staging
and switching valves
Mapping of individual and bulk flame temperatures is the process used to
36 maintain
GE Proprietary appropriate
- Subject to Restrictions on Cover Page fuel to air ratio in all pre-mixers
Gas Fuel Quality
Gas Fuel
Methane
Ethane
Butane
And higher .
Higher hydrocarbon chains are generally heavier and
will result in lower Wobbe number (a quantity
indicative of heating value to fuel density ratio)

Gas Fuel Quality
Fuel Quality
Most important requirement is to have adequate level
of heating value which is controlled by allowing
Wobbe number from 40-60 (Wobbe number is
indicative of heating value to density ratio)
Low Wobbe number will require increased fuel flows which
may
Impact fuel nozzle pressure drop hence cause acoustics
Limit power due to Max fuel limitations
High Wobbe # will reduce fuel flow to water/steam ratio
May cause acoustic due to low fuel nozzle pressure
drop
Fuel temp. may be increased to reduce Wobbe Number
Gas Fuel Quality
Water Content
Fuel must be dry. Any water content may cause icing
situation in the fuel system even at high temperatures (due
to high fuel pressure)
Contamination
Heavy metal contamination (like rust) may cause plugging
up of the fuel nozzles
Site fuel filtration is needed
Nozzles are equipped with screen (last chance filter) which
may catch large size contamination

Liquid Fuel Quality
Liquid Fuel
Diesel, Naphtha ,,,
Liquid fuel in DLE combustors usually are more
reactive, hence has potential for higher flame
temperatures
Fuel Quality
Diesel fuel typically has more Sulfur, Sodium,
Potassium contents which may cause corrosion
Hence hardware life with liquid fuel is typically much
lower
Some Important Suggestions for NOx control
SAC Combustors
For reduced NOX, increase water/steam injection
If CO is high, you may be injecting too much water/steam
High Water/Steam injection may also cause flame out
High emissions may be caused by fuel nozzle wear
High emission levels may also be caused by quality of fuel
Fuel quality may also impact hardware life
Clean fuel is required to avoid fuel nozzle fouling
Any water in gas fuel may cause freezing in the fuel system

Some Important Suggestions for NOx control
DLE Combustors
Mapping process is the main tool to maintain appropriate
emission levels
High NOx or CO may be in one or more of the three rings
To reduce NOx, Flame temperature of the ring producing high
NOx must be reduced
To reduce CO, the flame temperature of the ring producing
high CO must be reduced
Dirty or fouled pre-mixers will cause high emission that may
not be reduced via mapping
Fuel quality is important in keeping fuel pre-mixers in good
health

IDM Requirement PS3 (96CD-1/2) LM2500 Base & Plus
Compressor Discharge Trnsmitter
It is recommended that the PS3 transducers be located off engine in a
relatively cool, dry, and vibration free location and each connected to
the engine with stainless steel tubing of 0.375 inch (0.95 cm) outside
diameter and not longer than 15 feet. Compressor discharge pressure
taps are provided on the gas generator for attachment of each the
connecting lines. If the transducer (pressure transmitter) or any portion
of the connecting line is located below the interface, a water trap must
be located in the low point of the line and all portions of the line must
drain to the water trap. The water trap can be constructed by bending a
"U" in the tube and must have a weep hole as shown to bleed off any
condensate. It is recommended that the PS3 transducer be located
within 6 to 10 inches of the low point to avoid freezing of condensate in
the portion of the line that has static air. Alternatively, the PS3 line can
be uniformly sloped to assure that any moisture drains back to the
combustor case.

TIPS!!!
PS3 (96CD-1/2)
Usually there is no manifold or

isolation valve on all GG transmitter.
Usually for SAC engines there are two PS3
transmitters with only one PS3 port on GG.
Make sure that there is no additional line to
pressure gage and/or others.
Usually the flexible hose is not connected
directly to the GG. It should be installed a
spool of tubing between GG case and hose.

Voltmeter CALIBRATION CHECKOUT KIT:

- N 2 100 pF condenser
- N 1 Frequency generator
- N 1 Multimeter
Sensibility of pressure transducer (PX 36) is 16 pC each PSI
V= Q/C
Where:
Q= misured charge in COULOMBS
C= condenser capacity in FARAD
The purpose is to simulate the charge to the amplifier in order to check the reading on the Bently Nevada monitor.
To do that, set the frequency using the generator to 600 Herz and than changing the amplitude we find the Volts (V) to apply to the
condenser in order to obtain the pressure in "psi" (to be read on B.N. monitor).
1/Ceq= 1/C1 + 1/C2

1/Ceq= (C2 + C1) / (C1*C2)
Ceq= (C1*C2) / (C2+C1)
Ceq= (100*100) / 200 = 50pF
V= Q/C = 16 (pC) / 50 (pF) = 0.32 V

Vrms= V /2sqr = 0.32 / 1.41 = 0.226 V

CHECKOUT PROCEDURE
TSU 109 Charge Generator

The charge generator outputs a sinusoidal picoCoulomb 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 listed below are in units to be set on the TSU 109, and the expected output
read at the control monitor (peak-to-peak). Default is with the output set at 16 pC peak and a frequency of 600 Hz coressponding to 2.0 psi peak to peak.
Use this as a starting point during checkout. Note that there is a locking mechanism on the potentiometer which must be moved counter-clockwise to allow
the pot. to turn freely.
The CHECK BAT / OPERATE toggle switch is nominally centered in the off position. To check battery, pull this toggle up to insure that the batteries are
healthy. If the batteries are OK, both the +9V and the -9V LED will light up. If this does not happen, the batteries should be replaced. To operate, push this
toggle down. For extended operation during checkout, you may use a rubber band to hold the switch in the OPERATION position.
You will need a cable with a mating Vibrometer Lemo connector. Plug this cable into the TSU 109 and plug the connector into the off-engine cable when
ready to perform testing. The off-engine cable is that to which the sensor would normally mate.
To operate: Set the O/P switch in the Sym position.
Set the frequency at 600 Hz.
Set the multiplier to nx1.
Unlock the potentiometer and turn the knob until the digit in the window corresponds to the first digit (tens) of the set point charge value and the
hundred scaled button of the potentiometer to the number corresponding to the second digit (units) of the set point charge value. Lock the potentiometer.
Record signal conditioner output value.
Repeat above steps until all values in the following table have been checked.

(3) 8 6 13.6
(4) 4 8 16.8
(8) 0 10 20.0
NOTES:
(1) The Vibrometer RSI signal conditioner should have been calibrated at the factory for a sensor with an output of 16 pC/psi peak 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.
(2) Typically, OEMs use 4-20 mA outputs to their control system. The above Expected mA output levels have been provided for your convenience. If you
have a better way at the control system of determining the output level, feel free to use it!

Keys to DLE Troubleshooting
ALL commonly encountered DLE specific operability issues result
from either
violation of a flame temperature boundary
Most commonly result from measurement error
or
control action to prevent engine damage
Examples:
High Emissions NOx and/or CO
Steps-to-Idle
Trips
Maximum Power Limitation
Power Reductions
Failure to Start
Sources of Control Flame Temperature Error
CONTROL Flame Temperature calculated not measured

uses fuel properties, metered fuel flow, T3 and combustor
airflow
Critical Parameters: PS3, T3, FMV position, FMV upstream and
downstream pressure (GP1, GP2), LHV, SG
Any of above parameters will introduce error into flame temperature
calculation
Any leakage between metering valve and combustor will result in high
calculated flame temperature

Long term trending Data
Data from last mapping

Step 1 - Define the Problem
Understand and clarify the problem
High emissions (is measurement system calibrated?) ,
Acoustic trips
Measurement system OK?
PX36B within 25% of PX36A at time of trip?
Neither signal erratic
In what mode is problem occurring (BRNDMD)
Is problem related to one ring or to all?
Steady state or transient
Low or high power
When was the problem first observed?
Gradual change over several weeks / months
Step change

Step 2 - Check Instrumentation
Fuel gas properties

Is LHVSEL = LHV raw? Is LHV typical for site?
Same for S.G.
Pressure sensors
PS3 system
Differences between sensors
Leaks in sensing tubes / water in tubes
Fuel pressure (GP) sensors
Differences between channels A & B

Step 3 -Review High Speed Log
If check and calibration of instrumentation does not resolve issue, examine
High Speed Log
All input signals free of excessive noise
Input signals behavior consistent
Fuel Metering Valves and bleeds following demand
FMVxSEL vs. FMVxDMD for all 3 valves
VBVSEL vs. VBVDMD
ST8SEL vs. ST8DMD
CDPSEL vs. CDPDMD
> Look for Indications of Partial blowout
Usually occurs in A or C rings
causes increased firing of B ring to maintain power
NOx emissions increase
CO emissions typically increase
Possible Acoustics Increase
Identifying Partial Blowout
Condition where A and/or C rings partially blow out

Control Maintains Power if Possible by adding fuel to B ring
Pilot FMV opens parameter FMVPSEL increases
Blowout parameter WFQPERRCORR increases
May cause Acoustic (PX36) increase
Control assumes all fuel is burned
calculated flame temperature TFLCYC increases
Increase of temperature causes closure of bleeds
Percentage bleed DWB36PCT decreases
If bleeds are closed percentage Tflame TFLAMEPCT increases
May stage up to next higher mode (increase in BRNDMD)

Step 4 - Trending Data
Used to detect gradual system change

Blockage of premixers
Leakage downstream of metering valve
Fuel Metering Issues
Blockage
Calibration

Trending Fuel Flow Parameters
Parameters WFNOZINRFF, WFNOZOTRFF, WFNOZPILFF

Parameter is ratio WF 36measured
WF 36calculated
WF36calculated is based on Pressure Ratio and (assumed) fuel
nozzle flow function
Parameter varies with power level and burner mode
Rule of thumb: Change > 10% is significant

Significance of WFNOZZ Changes:
WFNOZZ Shift High:

Leak between FMV and fuel nozzle
Inspect
Leak Check per WP
Blockage of FMV
Check for Sulfur Contamination
GP2 sensor reading low
Check Sensor lines for leaks
WFNOZZ Shift Low:

Premixer Blockage
Flow Check Per WP

Other Checks
Is gas supply pressure significantly different than

normal
Inlet filter pressure drop
Any other parameters which may have changed
Water wash if compressor is dirty or efficiency is
down

Fault finding staging valves
Leaking staging valves can lead to high CO/UHC in

mixed burner modes (BC/AB)
Root cause for leakage usually wear or
contamination
Identify suspect valves with leak test blanking F1B
Test individual valves or return to OEM for test &
repair
