21
Q

Describe the Air inlet Assembly

A

Air is drawn into the compressor through a 3 stage filtration system (screen, filters, silencer)

22
Q

Describe the Air compressor assembly

A

12 stage axial flow compressor
converts kinetic energy into pressure

23
Q

What is Compressor surge

A

when the forward stages of the compressor create more pressure that the aft stages can handle. If bad enough it could cause the air may flow backwards through the compressor

24
Q

When is compressor surge more likely to happen

A

During start up & shut down

25
Q

How is compressor surge avoided

A

Variable guide vanes
Bleed air valve

26
Q

How are Variable guide vanes (VGVs) Used

A

Vane blade angles are realigned to maintain a balanced flow

27
Q

Describe the bleed air valves

A

Directs excess air from the compressor to the Turbine exhaust stream (Also used to control the T5 temperature)

28
Q

Describe the Compressor diffuser Assembly

A

A casing located aft of the compressor
25% (primary air)of the air is mixed with fuel for combustion
the other 75% (secondary air) is used to cool combustion gasses

29
Q

What is the T5 temp

A

temp of the hot compustion gasses in the 3rd stage turbine rotor

30
Q

Why is T5 temp so important

A

it is the primary indicator of engine loading

31
Q

What causes T5 temp to increase

A

Generator loading

32
Q

What happens if the T5 limit is reached

A

the control system will restrict fuel flow

33
Q

when will the T5 temp cause an alarm

A

if the temp is greater than 1340f for 10 seconds

34
Q

When will the T5 temp trip the SBOG

A

the temp is greater that 1340 for 20 seconds

35
Q

Where is the T5 temp displayed

A

HMI Screens

36
Q

How many Fuel injectors are there on the SBOGs & where are they located

A

12
Around the combustion chamber and protrude inside

37
Q

What is each fuel injector supplied with

A

An air assist connection. which helps atomize the fuel

38
Q

How is the combustion process started

A

Compressed air & atomized fuel mixture is ignited with an igniter torch

39
Q

when is the Ignitor torch turned off

A

when the engine becomes self sustaining (66% engine speed)

40
Q

How many stages is the SBOG Turbine

A

3 Stages ( Rotor, Blades, Nozzles)

41
Q

What is P2 pressure

A

pressure of the air exiting the engine compressor diffuser section

42
Q

What does a higher Pcd mean

A

more fuel can be mixed to increase power

43
Q

What else does Pcd indicate

A

Cleanliness and condition of the engine compressor

44
Q

How is Pcd monitored

A

On the HMI Screens

45
Q

How is the Turbine output shaft speed reduced

A

Reduction gear unit

46
Q

What is the Reduction gear units peed designed for

A

1800 rpm for 60hz

47
Q

What is the turbine speed

A

14,951 rpm

48
Q

How is the SBOG generator used

A

to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy via Electromagnetic induction

49
Q

How many phases is the SBOGs generator

A

3 phase AC

50
Q

What is the SBOG generator output rated for

A

14.2kv and 4270 kw

51
Q

what is the lagging power factor

A

0.8
