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 19
On units fitted with chemloy bushings (GE drawing numbers 315A9681 and 339A9913) that do not exceed the wear limits specified, verify that the bushings are not loose in the inner segment holes.

Reformated, September 1991 GENERAL At all times when performing work on a GE Gas Turbine the following general practices should be observed: 1. Keep complete records. In addition to specific inspection report forms called out, please complete the general information requested on Forms PGS/GT-FF-6000, PGS/GT-FF-6026, and PGS/ GT-FF-6027.
Page 28
Standard Practices Inspection and Maintenance 5. Clean all removed parts, and fasteners and store in separate containers, tagged to simplify reassemb- ly. (See Gas Turbine Cleaning in this section for cleaning methods.) 6. Use penetrating oil prior to bolt removal. (Refer to recommended solvents, sealers, cleaners, etc. in this section for listing of acceptable penetrating oils.) 7.
Page 29
Inspection and Maintenance Standard Practices d. The use of taper gauges is not recommended because the pointed end of the gauge often “bot- toms” on an internal curved surface before an accurate reading can be obtained. This gauge should not be used to take radial clearances. e.

GE Power Systems Gas Turbine Inspection and Maintenance Procedures Reformated, September 1991 STANDARD MAINTENANCE ITEMS Pressure Switches and Gauges The setting of pressure switches and calibration of the gauges can be checked with a dead weight tester, a regulated source of clean, dry, compressed air or a nitrogen cylinder and a calibrated pressure gauge.
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. The element could be defective, or there may be too much friction in the valve mechanism. Sensing bulbs are marked “TOP”...
Page 111
Inspection and Maintenance Inspection and Maintenance Procedures With lock washers installed, verify that the servovalve mounting screws are long enough to provide 1 to 1.5 times the screw diameter of thread engagement. 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. Mercury will react destructively with copper and brass in system components under certain conditions, if it were accidentally injected into the cooling water system. Flow Versus Pressure Drop Water (or coolant) flow versus pressure drop curves may be prepared for any orifice* size by using the equation: Q + 300KA...
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. Each time this is done, solenoid valve 45CR should energize.
Page 124
Inspection and Maintenance Procedures Inspection and Maintenance CAUTION Ventilation dampers, automatically closed by a signal from the fire protection system, must be re-opened before re-starting the turbine. Failure to do so will shorten the ser- vice life of the starting motor and reduce generator perfor- mance.
Page 125
Consult with a GE Company field representative to obtain recommendations as to the size that an orifice should be increased. After a turbine overhaul, all orifices should be changed back to their original size, assuming that all turbine clearances are returned to normal and all leakage paths are corrected.
Page 126
Inspection and Maintenance Procedures Inspection and Maintenance CAUTION The sensors are polarity sensitive. Reverse polarity will destroy the detector!!! 1. With the detector amplifier power on, verify base wir- ing polarity at the sensor junction box by reading 290 VDC (min.) across lead pair. 2.
Page 127
Inspection and Maintenance Inspection and Maintenance Procedures be maintained at 50 percent or less to minimize any possible corrosion problems. Conformal coatings are used to protect electronic equipment; however, high relative humidity can cause accelerated corro- sion in any area not properly protected. Refer to SPEEDTRONIC Maintenance Manual Procedures in Volume I.
Page 128
Inspection and Maintenance Procedures Inspection and Maintenance This arc is extinguished when the contacts are fully open. However, it may be established and extin- guished several times due to contact bounce. The arc may be a glow discharge, or even a small metal- lic bridge, which becomes hot enough to vaporize a small portion of the contact metal.
Page 129
Inspection and Maintenance Inspection and Maintenance Procedures Magnetic Contactors and Starters Check to see if the relay contacts are welded together by depressing the brown operator (actuator), located at the top of the overload relay contact housing. When the relay is in a reset condition, an audible click will be heard when the operator is depressed.

Inspection and Maintenance Procedures Inspection and Maintenance INLET AIR SYSTEMS MAINTENANCE AND SYSTEM EQUIPMENT (GAS TURBINE) Inlet Screen Inlet screens are provided immediately upstream of the inertial separators to prevent the entry of birds, leaves, twigs, papers and other similar objects. These screens must be kept free from any excess accumu- lation of such debris to assure free air flow.
Page 131
Inspection and Maintenance Inspection and Maintenance Procedures The inlet ductwork and silencer should be inspected at least once a year for leakage or any entrapped material. Leaks can be sealed with an appropriate caulking compound. Entrapped material should be removed to prevent possible foreign object damage. Any rust or oxidation spots on other than Cor-Ten material should be scraped and repainted.

Major Inspection — Disassembly Procedures Inspection and Maintenance — GEK 107048 CAUTION The generator field and load gear do not have a thrust bear- ing; therefore, there will be a tendency for the rotor to “walk” axially. c. The “walking” can be compensated for by using two dial indicators. One indicator will be mounted on the rotating flange and will measure the actual face run-out.
Page 319
Inspection and Maintenance — GEK 107048 Major Inspection — Disassembly Procedures d. The indicator must be placed in such manner to permit face readings to be taken without being affected by end float (thrust) of the accessory gear shaft when turning the shaft. e.
