AIR SYSTEM
AIR SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The air system is required to supply filtered, smooth flowing air to the gas generator for combustion and cooling with minimal pressure drop to allow full power operation
Air to provide Power Turbine rim cooling during operation
Air to Power Turbine seal during operation
Auxiliary air to provide GG 05 module cooling for ESD
Auxiliary air to provide Power Turbine seal air during startup and shutdown
Deliver excess air from Gas Generator to safe atmosphere. (Bleed Air)
Filtered air to cool and ventilate equipment enclosures
Filtered air for combustion

THE PACKAGE AIR SYSTEM CAN BE DIVIDED INTO SIX SEPARATE SUB SYSTEMS
AIR SYSTEM
• Air filters operate in many different environments and are exposed to many different types of contaminants.
• Air filters respond differently to different types of contaminants.
• The total environmental challenge to an air filter includes many factors that interact– Particles, gasses, relative humidity, temperature, vibration
• Filtration needs vary by application.

AIR SYSTEM
• Erosion: the abrasive removal from the compressor
blades and guide vanes. Typically 10 um particles and larger.• Fouling:
Accumulated deposits of hardened airborne particles that alter the profile of the rotor and stator vanes causing a reduction in operating efficiency.• Corrosion:
Chemical reaction between ingested airborne particles and turbine components.
WHY DO TURBINES NEED CLEAN AIR?

VENTILATION AIR SYSTEM – MAIN FUNCTIONS
• Maintains turbine enclosure temperature at a tolerable level.
• Provides cooling for exposed high temperature machinery surfaces.
• Prevents built-up of gas or fumes within enclosure.
• Maintains positive/negative pressure in the GG enclosure dependant on package type
• Provide Dampers to contain extinguishant in the event of a fire

• One stage of Variable inlet Guide Vanes
• Bleed Valves
• 05 module air Cooling Air (Davis Valve)
AIR SYSTEM
One stage of IP compressor variable inlet guide vanes (VIGVS) operated by 3 hydraulic rams, scheduled by the (ECS) in accordance with inlet temperature corrected IP compressor speed (N1 / √T20) in a closed loop control. (T20 = Inlet air temperature in Kelvin.)
VARIABLE INLET GUIDE VANES
AIR SYSTEM
BLEED VALVESThe basic function is to prevent GG compressor surge and / or stall by venting excess air using bleed off valves (BOV´s) during starting and stopping to improve the operational efficiency at low load conditions.• 2 IP handling bleed valves spilling IP stage 7 air scheduled to open and close by the (ECS) in accordance with a corrected I.P. compressor speed
• 1 HP handling bleed valve spilling P263 air scheduled to open and close by the (ECS) in accordance with a corrected IP compressor speed
ECS to close valves at a non-dimensional IP speed of 345 +/-1 rising and open them at 337 +/-1 falling
• 3 starting bleed valves spills P263 air during the starting cycle onlyScheduled by P263 air

05 MODULE COOLING AIR
Whenever unit is stopped without a cooldown period, auxiliary air is supplied to cool the 05 module for a period of 90 minutes.
AIR SYSTEM
Davis Valve sequence• Trip armed above 4500 N1• ESD – Lube oil to by-pass• Sequence commences• Runs for 90min cycle• Successful Re-start stops 90 min cycle and resets.
• If un-successful cycle continues until 90 mins complete
AIR SYSTEM
POWER TURBINE SEALING AIR
Air from the gas generator compressor IP 7th stage is used for the power turbine labyrinth seal to prevent:
• Bearing case oil entering the exhaust stream during operation which may cause Smokey Exhaust and undesirable oil consumption
• Excessive air flow out of coupling vent and Oil mist coming out the vent
During starting and Postlube Auxiliary air will be required to provide sealing air.
AIR SYSTEM
POWER TURBINE RIM COOLING
Air from the gas generator compressor IP 7th stage is used for:
• Cooling the Power Turbine disc face : Control thermal growth differentials Minimize unnecessary thermal stress
• Cooling the inlet diffuser casing : Provides an insulation blanket around the outer inlet diffuser minimizing thermal distortion during operation
AIR SYSTEM
INSTRUMENT OR AUXILLARY AIR
Plant compressed air System must be free of oil and water, filtered to 10 micron and 10 - 50 DEG C, use could include:
• GG rear cooling when an emergency shutdown occurs
• Pressurizing the Gas Generator wash tank
• Power Turbine seal air during start-up and shut down

EXHAUST GASSES
The Exhaust hood collects the exhaust gas from the Power Turbine and directs it to a safe atmosphere, via ducting silencer and exhaust plenum. The exhaust system may contain waste heat recovery equipment.
