Gas turbine, flame detector
Thread Content
The compressors in our factory are gas turbine compressors manufactured by German Siemens. Recently, the vehicle keeps shutting down unexpectedly. We have an adequate supply of gas, and the technician said that the flame detector detected an issue with the flame, which triggered a shutdown sequence. I don’t understand whether there’s a problem with the gauge or if the detector isn’t placed in the right position; no German has turned on the compressor – we need help!
Please help, is there no technician with gas turbines? It’s been several days.
Take a close look at the relevant operation manual to see if there are any troubleshooting instructions in it. If there is a problem with the flame, you can adjust the probe or try replacing it to rule out any issues with the probe first.
I envy the original poster; I’ve never seen a gas turbine yet :)
Try adjusting the flame detector delay time. It is possible that the factory-set time is too short, causing frequent operation.
