System/Event Alarm Shutdown 10 Seconds Later Minimum Load Abort Start Notes Reference

The events listed in this section are conditions that are not specifically handled by the engine control system or which are not part of any of the specific engine or package
systems shown previously in the table. These events are either a single symptom or combination of symptoms with no specific set of setpoints that can be monitored by the
control. These events and conditions must be monitored by the operator and corrected as they occur.
The combinations of conditions shown in this section do not cause any sort of alarm or control action to be initiated; however, individual symptoms that are part of any of the
combinations shown here may cause an alarm or control action, just as they normally would when occurring alone (such as low pressure).

19. Alarm limits are based on component capability and may be reduced, consistent with the characteristics of each installation.
For application and site conditions that have the potential for reaching alarm limits under normal load conditions, active
controls must be available to limit fuel flow before operating limits are exceeded.

20. This alarm/shutdown is enabled 60 seconds after reaching core idle during the starting sequence.

GE PROPRIETARY INFORMATION - Subject to the restrictions on the cover or first page.


21. Shutdowns caused by stall detection or variable geometry system faults require borescope inspection of the compressors.
Refer to Volume II of this manual for inspection procedures.

Notes (Continued)
22. Refer to the appropriate packager’s manual for control schedules, logic, and limits.
23. T48 is the average of individual T48 probe outputs, subject to rejection criteria of Note 25.
LM6000 PC

24. Limits shown are for the two individual signals from any of the eight probes, as specified.
25. Any T48 thermocouple probe reading is rejected from the T48 average calculation if it is:
(1) out of range; T48 <400°F (204°C) or >1,900°F (>1,038°C)
(2) -200°F (128°C) or more below the average; T48 ≤ T48 -200°F (111°C).
26. Reject from spread calculations any thermocouple probe reading that is out of range.
27. These limits apply only at steady state conditions above 9,000 rpm XN25 or 15,000 shp output.
28. Alarm is triggered only if the condition persists for 10 seconds or more after initial detection.
GE Industrial AeroDerivative Gas Turbines

29. Twp is defined as wax point temperature for liquid fuel.


30. Liquid fuel pump inlet requirements apply only to the optional GE M&I-supplied pump. Purchaser-supplied pump require-
ments may vary.
31. Applicable to dual-fuel and gas/water fuel systems only.
32. Prolonged operation at steady state with low steam supply flows is not acceptable. Transients below this flow rate at steam
initiation are acceptable.
33. Steam pressure and temperature must be measured at the gas turbine manifold inlet.
34. Steam shutoff valves are not to be opened until the steam system has been purged of water and preheated to at least 50°F
(10°C) above steam saturation temperature. Steam injection must be secured if superheat decreases below 50°F (10°C).
35. Contact packager if application requirements dictate high water/fuel ratio.
36. LPR conditions are assessed by use of the highest speed signal from the four speed sensors (XN2a, XN2b, XNSDa,
XNSDb).
37. This condition or combination of conditions requires operator intervention, but does not, by itself, cause the control system
to initiate any sort of action.

Notes:
1. Expanded values may be possible with fuel nozzle modifications. Consult GE.
2. High hydrogen and carbon monoxide content fuels have large rich to lean flammability limits.
These types of fuels often require inert gas purging of the gas turbine gas fuel system upon unit
shutdown or a transfer to a more conventional fuel. When process gas fuels have extreme flam-
mability limits such that the fuel will auto ignite at turbine exhaust conditions, a more “conven-
tional” start-up fuel, such as methane, is required.
3. The presence of even trace amounts of butadiene in the gas fuel may cause fuel system fouling.
Additional fuel system maintenance may be required when using fuels containing butadiene.
4. Olefins in the gas fuel at moderate levels (<15%) are not expected to present problems as long as
the fuel temperature is kept below 176°F (80°C). With a higher levels of olefins or with a higher
gas fuel temperature, fuel system fouling may be an issue.

Notes:
1. Hydrocarbon and water dew points shall be determined by direct dew point measurement (Chilled
Mirror Device). If dew point cannot be measured, an extended gas analysis, which identifies hydro-
carbon components from C1 through C14, shall be performed. This analysis must be accurate within
10 ppmv. A standard gas analysis to C6+ is normally not acceptable for dew point calculation unless it
is known that heavier hydrocarbons are not present, as is most often the case with liquefied natural
gases.
2. This test method will not detect the presence of condensable sulfur vapor. Specialized filtration equip-
ment is required to measure sulfur at concentrations present in vapor form. Contact GE for more
information.

Table A2-1. Liquid Fuel Property Requirements (Continued)


Property Limit Test Method

Notes:
a. Fuels with a higher sulfur content can be burned. Impact on HSRI (Hot Section Repair Interval) will be dependent
upon alkali metals present in the fuel, inlet air, and injected water and upon engine operating temperature. Consult
GE for review of higher sulfur fuels.
b. This limit is considered to include all alkali metals, e.g., potassium and lithium, as well as sodium. Experience,
however, has shown that sodium is generally the predominant alkali metal.
This limit also assumes zero alkali metals in the inlet air or injected water or steam. When actual levels are above
zero, the maximum allowable sodium content of the fuel must be reduced in accordance with the following rela-
tionship:
ppm Na in Inlet Air x Air/Fuel Ratio
+ ppm Na in Water or Steam x Water or Steam/Fuel Ratio
+ ppm Na in Fuel
Total fuel equivalence for sodium from all sources not to exceed 0.2 ppm.
c. For non marinized engines (except for LM6000), the total amount of alkali metals from all sources shall not exceed
0.1 ppm.
d. To achieve the level of sensitivity for detection of sodium to the level required, an atomic absorption spectrometer
or a rotating disk spectrometer may be necessary.
e. Phosphorus testing applies to Bio-diesel blends only.
f. Care must be taken with the more viscous fuels to ensure that the minimum hydrogen content is met.
g. Fuels with Hydrogen content lower than 12.7% have been approved for use in certain applications with specific
restrictions. These fuels require a development test program for the applicable engine model before approval would
be considered. Asphaltene testing applies only to such fuels. In general, fuels with Hydrogen content less than 10%
have not been shown to be acceptable.
h. For marine gas turbines using a hydromechanical main fuel control, the limit is 40 ppm.
i. Legal limits and applicable safety regulations must be met; however, it should be noted that use of fuels having a
flash point in excess of 200°F (93.3°C) may result in unsatisfactory starting characteristics. Blending for enhance-
ment of spark ignition or use of alternate fuels may be required for starting.
j. Copper corrosion test conditions are 2 hours at 212°F (100°C).
k. LM6000 SAC models may not operate without water injection above 15MW power, if the distillation end point
temperature is above 675°F (357°C).

C. Remove any safety cable or safety wire from all bushings to be replaced. Ensure that all
safety-cable/safety-wire pieces are removed from VSV area to prevent binding in rotat-
ing elements and to prevent any cable or wire from entering the HPC flowpath (FOD
risk).

D. Starting at left horizontal splitline (ALF) and working clockwise, number all bushings
or housing using marking pen.

NOTE

In the event that bushings are replaced randomly, i.e., not a com-
plete stage is replaced, new bushings should be marked, using the
shallow vibropeen method, on the aft facing edge with the number
of engine hours at time of replacement. This will aid in identifying
replaced bushings and determining length of bushing service.

E. Starting at bushing or housing marked number 1, remove bushings or housing as fol-


lows (figure 2 or figure 2.A):

NOTE

It is recommended that the vane assemblies be disassembled and


reassembled one at a time to ensure that reusable parts are not
mixed. If more than one vane assembly is to be disassembled at a
time, care must be taken to ensure that reusable parts are placed
on the same vane assembly from which they were removed.

(1) Note direction of V scribed in end of vane tang. Ensure apex of each V is pointing
forward.

CAUTION
• Extreme caution must be used when disassembling vane bushings.
Once the bushing is removed, the vane may be easily dropped or
rotated in the case. This may cause damage to the vane which
would necessitate replacement. Care must be taken to maintain
control of the vane at all times while the bushing and attaching
hardware are removed, to avoid vane damage and need to remove
HPCS top case.

• Movement of the HPC rotor even in small increments during


bushing removal may cause irreparable damage to the vane and
scoring of the rotor surface. Extreme caution shall be taken to
ensure that the rotor does not turn during this procedure.

(2) Loosen locknut (1) with torque break wrench, 1C9428, and channel lock pliers
(figure 3). If torque break wrench, 1C9428, is not available, use standard socket
or wrench to loosen nut. Provide countertorque on lever arm body using soft jaw
pliers. Remove locknut and lever arm (2, figure 2 or figure 2.A). Inspect lever arm
for serviceability per WP 4012 00, table 8. Remove actuation ring sleeve (10)
from actuation ring (11).

CAUTION

When using a screwdriver to hold vane in position, do not


apply excessive force on vane or damage to vane will occur. A
nonmetallic contact surface is recommended.

NOTE

When removing bushings from upper case or lower case near


split-line, use step (3). When removing bushings from the lower
case, use step (4).

(3) Remove jamnut (3), alignment sleeve (4), and spacer (5) from upper case as
follows:

(a) Hold vane (9) with spacer spanner wrench, 2C6647. Break torque on jamnut
(3). Remove wrench.

(b) Ensuring vane (9) does not turn, install vane retention fixture, 1C9412, or
locally manufactured tool onto end of vane stem.

CAUTION
Ensure that all stages 3-5 stator vanes have the letter V marked
at top of vane stem. Apex of V shall point forward. Failure to
comply may result in serious engine or part damage.

NOTE

A 0.0 lb in. (0.0 N·m) torque limit implies that vane can rotate
with a minimum force applied. However, it is important to
ensure that the vane assembly is not loose after assembly as a
result of a spacer that is too thin. Vane assembly should be tight
and should not rattle or demonstrate any looseness.

(6) Reset torque wrench to 10 lb in. (1.1 N·m). Manually rotate vane (9) several times
to ensure vane is seated. Ensure vane rotational torque is within range of 0 to 10
lb in. (0.0 to 1.1 N·m). Replace spacer (5) as required to obtain proper rotational
torque. A thinner spacer will reduce rotational torque. A thicker spacer will
increase rotational torque. Record rotational torque.

(7) Small changes to vane rotational torque may be accomplished by lapping spacer
(5) face, using a figure eight motion to remove material. Final surface finish shall
match original.

(8) Install new actuation ring sleeve (10) into actuation ring (11).

(9) Install lever arm (2) onto vane (9). Flat on lever arm faces forward. Insert pin end
of lever arm into actuation ring sleeve.

1. Introduction.

A. This subordinate work package contains information concerning installation of core module
external tubing, harnesses, and clamping, including high pressure compressor (HPC), compres-
sor rear frame (CRF), and high pressure turbine (HPT).

B. The following general instructions shall be met any time tubing, electrical leads, harnesses, or
cables are disturbed:

(1) Unless otherwise specified, the bend radii for an electrical lead, cable, or harness must
exhibit a smooth transition. No kinks allowed.

(2) Electrical connections of heads and harnesses shall conform to the following assembly
points:

(a) Engage the connector with its mating interface and turn knurled coupling ring, while
wiggling the backshell assembly.

(b) After fully seating connector by hand, apply final torque to coupling ring using
Teflon-jawed connector pliers. Torque connector 1/4-1/2 turn, or until plier slippage
occurs.

(c) Check for full seating by wiggling accessory assembly. There shall be no movement
with respect to mating connector.

NOTE

It may be necessary to loosen lead clamps that restrict mating.

(d) Repeat substeps (b) and (c), as required. It may be necessary to loosen lead clamps that
restrict mating.

(3) Torque all remaining nuts of misalignment fittings as follows:

Tube Size OD Torque


(inches) (mm) (lb ft) (N·m)
0.75-1.00 (19.1-25.4) 24-26 (32.5-35.2)
1.125-1.50 (28.58-38.1) 20-40 (27.1-54.2)
1.625-2.00 (41.28-50.8) 40-50 (54.2-67.8)
2.125 and up (54.0 and up) 50-60 (67.8-81.3)

(4) Unless otherwise noted, install all bolts with boltheads forward.

1. Introduction.

A. This subordinate work package contains information concerning installation of engine assem-
bly external tubing, harnesses, and clamping.

B. The following general instructions shall be met any time tubing, electrical leads,
harnesses, or cables are disturbed:

(1) Unless otherwise specified, the bend radii for an electrical lead, cable, or harness must
exhibit a smooth transition. No kinks allowed.

(2) Electrical connections of heads and harnesses shall conform to the following assembly
points:

(a) Engage the connector with its mating interface and turn knurled coupling ring, while
wiggling the back shell assembly.

(b) After fully seating connector by hand, apply final torque to coupling ring using
Teflon-jawed pliers. Torque connector 1/4-1/2 turn, or until plier
slippage occurs.

(c) Check for full seating by wiggling accessory assembly. There shall be no movement
with respect to mating connector.

NOTE

It may be necessary to loosen lead clamps that restrict mating.

(d) Repeat substeps (b) and (c), as required. It may be necessary to loosen lead clamps
that restrict mating.

(3) Torque all remaining nuts of misalignment fittings as follows:

Tube Size OD Torque


(inches) (mm) (lb ft) (N·m)
0.75-1.00 (19.1-25.4) 24-26 (32.5-35.2)
1.125-1.50 (28.58-38.1) 20-40 (27.1-54.2)
1.625-2.00 (41.28-50.8) 40-50 (54.2-67.8)

(4) Unless otherwise noted, install all bolts with boltheads forward.

(5) If any external tube or manifold does not fit in the free state at assembly within
0.060 inch (1.52 mm), and is known to be within manufacturing tolerance, it shall be
modified by bending as required. After bending, to obtain the required
free-state fit, the following shall apply:

(a) Part shall conform to original specification and pressure requirements.

(b) Bend radii shall not be less than manufacturing limits.

(c) Coupling nuts shall thread freely by hand.

(d) End flange fittings shall seat flush within 0.005 inch (0.13 mm).

(e) End points of tube or manifold shall align with mating connector with
0.060 inch (1.52 mm) in all planes.

(f) A minimum clearance of 0.125 inch (3.18 mm) shall be maintained between tube
OD and adjacent parts.

NOTE

To achieve acceptable operation of the liquid fuel system, the primary


fuel manifold pressure must be set to 375-425 psig (2586-2930 kPa
gage) at sync idle. The pressure is set by adjusting two fixed orifices
which function as a pressure divider between the high and low pressure
lines.

M. Adjust primary fuel manifold pressure to 375-425 psig (2586-2930 kPa gage) by
changing downstream pressurizing valve orifice size as necessary. Refer to packager’s
instructions and fuel system drawings for location and replacement of pressurizing
valve orifice plates.

B. Measure blade tip to lower stator case clearance of blades being replaced as follows:

(1) Pull blade radially outward. Shake blade to ensure it is at its most outward
position.

(2) Measure clearance between blade tip and edge of lower stator case. Measurement
may be taken from any area on blade tip, provided each blade is measured from
the same area. Record clearance.

(3) Repeat steps (1) and (2) for each blade requiring replacement.

C. Mark centerline of locking lugs on outside diameter of disk or spool using marking
pen.

D. Apply penetrating oil to setscrews and allow to soak for 15 minutes.

NOTE

Run-on torque is the torque value observed while the setscrew is in


motion during one full revolution in the lug. Breakaway torque is
the torque required to start an installed screw rotating in the lug,
with no axial load on the lug (screw is not seated and is stationary
at initiation of torque). Threads of setscrew and lug must be clean
and free of lubricant.

(2) After completion of second cycle, record run-on torque of each screw. Also,
check breakaway torque of each screw. Replace setscrew or locking lug if
breakaway torque is less than 8 lb in. (0.9 N·m).

(3) Install two locking lugs, one on each side of loading slot. Ensure slope of locking
lug follows slope of blade platform.

F. Install one locking blade so cutout on blade platform faces locking lug.

G. Rotate entire stage of blades approximately one-half the width of blade platform, or
until last blade can be installed. Install last locking blade so cutout on blade platform
faces locking lug.

H. Rotate entire stage of blades in the opposite direction until locking lugs align with
position marks on disk or spool.

I. Slide blades circumferentially away from an outside locking blade. Measure


clearance between blade platforms. Total accumulated clearance shall be within 0.010-
0.020 inch (0.25-0.51 mm). If this requirement is not met, replace blade or blades
adjacent to locking blades with narrow or wide platform blades of equal weight.

J. Check each blade for shingling of platforms. If blade tends to shingle, replace with
blade of equal weight.

NOTE

If preground blades are installed, proceed to step L.

K. Measure blade tip to lower stator case clearance as follows:

(1) Pull blade radially outward. Shake blade to ensure it is at its most outward
position.

A. Use smooth file when repair blending compressor vanes not over 8 inches (200 mm) long, or
emery cloth to remove nicks and dents when removal of considerable material is necessary. File
or blend in longitudinal direction (parallel with airfoil length). Power tools may be used for ini-
tial heavy removal of material such as excessive tip curl. Final blend and polish
0.020–0.030 inch (0.51–0.76 mm) must be accomplished by hand.

CAUTION
All blend repair and polishing shall be done in direction parallel
with the vane leading or trailing edges. Do not use power tools for

CAUTION

Failure to meet proper vane rotational torque may cause binding


and result in bent lever arm.

NOTE

A 0.0 lb in. (0.0 N·m) torque limit implies that vane can rotate with a
minimum force applied. However, it is important to ensure that the
vane assembly is not loose after assembly as a result of a spacer that
is too thin. Vane assembly should be tight and should not rattle or
demonstrate any looseness.

(b) Ensure vane (9) rotational torque on high-boss case (12) is within 0-10 lb in.
(0.0-1.1 N·m).

(c) On high-boss case (12) installation, obtain vane (9) rotational torque as
follows:

1 If rotational torque is below limits, replace spacer (5).

2 If rotational torque is above limits, spacer (5) thickness may be reduced


by lapping spacer face, using figure eight motion to remove material.
Final surface finish shall match original.

(d) Record final rotational torque of each vane (9). Torque value will be required
for checking total actuation load for half-ring segments.

(3) Ensure actuation travel limits of replacement vanes (9) as follows:

(a) Check each replacement vane for freedom of travel through limits shown in
figure 23. If vane binds, check for interference adjacent to casing bore.

6. HPC Rotor Blade Replacement General Requirements.


NOTE
• An exception to this procedure is compliance with Service Bulletin
LM6000-IND-143, HPCR Stages 1-5 Blade Clearance Increase.
• The steel A-286 and titanium HPC spools have three locking slots
per stage in stages 6-9 and two locking slots per stage in stages 3-5
and stages 10-14. See figure 13 and figure 14. The new INCO 718
stages 3-9 HPC spool eliminated the locking slot, locking lug, and
two locking blades located 180 degrees circumferentially from the
loading slot on stages 6-9. Two standard blades per stage were
added to fill this gap. On the INCO 718 stages 3-9 HPC spool mea-
sure only one accumulative gap per stage and refer to table 6 and
table 7 for blade quantities and accumulated clearance require-
ments.
A. Up to 25 percent of all HPC rotor blades or three complete stages of blades can be replaced
using these procedures. If more blades require replacement, core engine replacement is
required.
NOTE
Position mark all blades and balance weights as removed. Any weights
removed must be position marked during removal.

(1) Return balance weights and unchanged blades, removed during replacement of blades, to
original locations.

(2) Damaged blades are replaced with blades of same pan weight where possible, within
following limits: for stages 1 through 3, within 0.5 grams; for stages 4 and 5, within
0.3 grams and for stages 6 through 16, within 0.2 grams. Replace heavily damaged
blades (with pieces missing) with blades of same part number.

B. Ten blades in rotor may be reworked to maximum repairable limits, if worked blades are dis-
tributed uniformly around circumference to reduce imbalance effects.

C. Blend up to 100 percent of blades locally for erosion at tips, if all blades in those stages are
blended by approximately same amount. It is recommended that equivalent of no more than
50 percent of stages be blended to minimum tip-chord erosion limits.

D. If an entire stage of blades require replacement, contact General Electric Customer Service to
obtain a set of preground blades.

E. Gain access to HPC rotor by removing top stator case per WP 2411 00 or by opening top sta-
tor case per SWP 2411 01.

7. HPC Rotor Stage 1 Blades Removal.

NOTE

The No. 1 blade is at the same clock position as the stage 9 dovetail
loading slot.

A. Using marking pen, mark position of blades to be removed and corresponding dovetail
slot on stage 1 disk. If all stage 1 blades are being replaced, position mark No. 1 and
No. 5 dovetail slots on stage 1 disk.

B. Using retainer removal tool, 2C14198, remove stage 1 blade retainers of individual
blade to be removed and adjacent blades as follows (figure 1):

(1) Install seal protector over seals forward and aft of blades. Locally manufacture
protectors from plastic or rubber.

(2) Install aft clamp ring onto aft side of stage 1 disk.

(3) Install forward clamp ring onto forward side of stage 1 disk. Secure forward
clamp ring to aft clamp ring using handknobs.

CAUTION
Use care when straightening blade retainers to avoid scratching
stage 1 disk or damaging seal teeth.

(4) Using wedge-shaped edge of impact tool, bend forward tabs of retainers away
from blades. Straighten tabs using square edge of impact tool.

(5) Remove retainer removal tool from stage 1 disk.

(6) Use nylon bar and mallet to tap on forward tangs of blade retainer and force
retainer aft. Pull blade retainer from aft side of stage 1 disk. Discard blade
retainer.

CAUTION
Do not use tools or excessive force to remove blade(s), or blade
leading edge/trailing edge damage may occur.

C. Push blade to be removed and adjacent blades radially forward, to ease removal of
first blade. Do not remove adjacent blades from disk.

D. Push blade to be removed radially inward to disengage midspan shroud. Slide blade
forward out of stage 1 disk.

E. Pan weigh removed blades. Using marking pen, mark weight on blades.

9. HPC Rotor Stage 1 Blades Selection.

NOTE

If individual blades are being replaced, obtain correct blade length per
step A. If all stage 1 blades are being replaced, proceed to step B.

A. If individual blades are being replaced, obtain correct blade length as follows:

(1) Select replacement blade with length equal to or slightly longer than blade being
replaced. Take measurement from bottom of blade dovetail. If replaced blade
length cannot be determined, use length of shorter of two adjacent blades or
0.005 inch (0.13 mm) less than longer blade, whichever is longer.

WARNING

Do not breathe the particles from grinding or let the particles


touch you. The particles can cause damage, injury, or irritation
to you. Use personal protection equipment. Use local mechanical
exhaust ventilation or an approved respirator.

CAUTION
Power blending shall be accomplished so no excessive heat and thermal
stresses are generated. Failure to comply may result in part damage.

(2) Grind replacement blade to correct length, as required. Power tools may be used
to shorten grinding time but last 0.005 inch (0.13 mm) must be hand worked.

(3) Etch hand worked area and spot-fluorescent-penetrant inspect per Chapter 11.

NOTE

Replacement blades shall be weighed after tip grinding.

B. Weigh replacement blades. Using marking pen, mark weight on blade. If all stage 1
blades are being replaced, record weights on blade position map, figure 4.

NOTE

If individual blades are being replaced, select blades per step C. If all
stage 1 blades are being replaced, calculate blade position per step D.

C. If individual blades are being replaced, select replacement blade within 0.5 gram of
original blade. Blades replacing those with portions missing shall weigh within
0.5 gram of the average of eight adjacent serviceable blades. If replacement blade
within 0.5 gram is not available, use blade replacement guide, figure 5.

B. Lift adjacent blades and reinstalled blade radially outward and install new blade
retainers under blades, from aft side of disk. Ensure blade retainer is seated against aft
side of blade. Retainer may be pulled from forward end for proper seating. Do not
hammer on aft end of retainer.

NOTE

If all stage 1 blades are being replaced, proceed to step D.

C. If individual blades are being replaced, measure blade-tip-to-lower-stator-case


clearance as follows:

(1) Pull replacement blade and adjacent blades radially outward. Shake blade to
ensure blade is at most outward position.

(2) Measure clearance between adjacent blade tips close to replacement blade and
edge of lower case. Make same measurement for replacement blade. Ensure
replacement blade-tip-to-case measurement is the same or greater (more
clearance) than adjacent non-removed blades.

(3) Repeat steps (1) and (2) for each replacement blade.

D. Measure clearance between midspan shrouds as follows (figure 6):

NOTE

Round wooden toothpicks may be used as shims.

(1) Tap four wooden shims between each stage 1 blade retainer and disk. Two shims
under forward end of blade retainer and two shims under aft end.

(2) Ensure all blades are seated fully aft, with tangs against disk.
6
(3) Shine light through gap or use 0.001-inch (0.03 mm) shim to check for clearance
between midspan shrouds. Do not measure as cumulative gap. No clearance is
permitted. Replace stage 1 blade, as required, to eliminate clearance between
midspan shrouds.

(4) Remove wooden shims.

E. Using plastic bar, figure 7, hold blade retainer forward and prebend forward tabs using
pre-bend tool, 2C6599. Ensure tool is seated onto retainer tab prior to bending.

F. Position seating tool, 2C6600, onto stage 1 blade retainer tabs. Center forward foot of
tool radially between two retainers. Fit aft foot of tool over tabs of both retainers.
Ensure leg of seating tool marked FWD is on forward side of disk.

WARNING
Do not breathe the particles from grinding or let the particles
touch you. The particles can cause damage, injury, or irritation
to you. Use personal protection equipment. Use local mechanical
exhaust ventilation or an approved respirator.

CAUTION

Power blending shall be accomplished so no excessive heat and


thermal stresses are generated. Failure to comply may result in part
damage.

(2) Grind replacement blades. Using marking pen, mark weight on blade. Power tools
may be used to shorten grinding time but last 0.005 inch (0.13 mm) must be hand
worked. See figure 4.

NOTE

Replacement blades shall be weighed after tip grinding.

B. Pan weigh replacement blades. Using marking pen, mark weight on blade. If all stage
2 blades are being replaced, record weights on blade position map. See figure 4.

NOTE

If individual blades are being replaced, select blades per step C. If


all stage 2 blades are being replaced, calculate blade position per
step D.

C. If individual blades are being replaced, select replacement blade within 0.5 gram of
original blade. Blades replacing those with portions missing shall weigh within
0.5 gram of average of eight adjacent serviceable blades. If replacement blade within
0.5 gram is not available, use blade replacement guide. See figure 5.

WARNING

Alcohol is flammable and toxic to skin, eyes, and respiratory


tract. Skin and eye protection is required. Avoid repeated or pro-
longed contact. Use in a well-ventilated area.
A. Clean stage 2 disk dovetail slots, blade retainers, and blade dovetails with isopropyl
alcohol. Allow to air dry for 15 minutes, minimum.
B. Install retainer into dovetail slot, centered, with shoulders toward disk ID and hooks
facing left, aft looking forward. See figure 9.
C. Install blade from forward side over retainer, and slide retainer to left, aft looking
forward (ALF). If blade cannot be installed by hand pressure, remove retainer and
replace with thinner retainer.
CAUTION

The aft end of the retainer stop shall extend beyond the aft end of
the retainer.
D. Install retainer stop, from forward side, on right side of retainer, ALF, with shoulder
toward disk ID. Ensure shoulder of retainer stop seats against forward side of disk. If
necessary, tap with nylon drift and nylon mallet to seat.

NOTE

If all stage 2 blades are being replaced, proceed to step F.

E. If individual blades are being replaced, measure blade-tip-to-lower-stator-case


clearance as follows:

(1) Pull replacement blade and adjacent blades radially outward. Shake blade to
ensure blade is at most outward position.

(2) Measure clearance between adjacent blade tips close to replacement blade and
edge of lower case. Make same measurement for replacement blade. Ensure
replacement blade-tip-to-case measurement is the same or greater (more
clearance) than adjacent non-removed blades.

(3) Repeat steps (1) and (2) for each replacement blade.

F. Secure stage 2 blade with retainer stop installation tool, 2C6967, as follows
(figure12):
(1) With tool stop separated from anvil, install tool so lever arm is under aft end of
retainer stop and anvil holds retainer stop forward face against disk. Install tool
stop to anvil.

CAUTION
Ensure lever arm does not slip off retainer stop during bending
operation. Damage to engine parts could result.

(2) Use hand pressure to securely hold lever arm under retainer stop and pull lever
arm handle forward to bend retainer stop outward 30 degrees, minimum.

(3) Remove retainer stop installation tool, 2C6967.

G. Inspect installation of stage 2 blade as follows:

(1) After retainer is seated, check for axial movement of blade by hand. If blade
movement is detected, measure with dial indicator placed against blade platform
face. Movement shall not exceed 0.020 inch (0.51 mm). Replace blade retainer if
this requirement is not met.

(2) Inspect retainer for cracks using light, inspection mirror, and 10X magnifying
glass. Pay particular attention to areas of bend radii. No cracks allowed.

15. HPC Rotor Stages 3-14 Blades Removal.

A. Using marking pen, number all blades in affected stages, starting with first blade
clockwise, ALF, from dovetail loading slot.

NOTE

If locking lugs cannot be removed per step B, remove lugs per


step C.

B. Remove blades from stage requiring blade replacement as follows:

(1) Prepare stages 3-5 and 10-14 locking lugs for removal as follows (figure 13):

CAUTION
Do not use unauthorized penetrating oils, or corrosion and prema-
ture failure may result.

(a) Apply penetrating oil to setscrew in locking lugs.

(b) Using wrench, MSE-28, loosen setscrew until threads bottom on locking lugs
located on both sides of loading slot.
(c) Push locking lugs radially inward to bottom of dovetail slot. Locking lugs
will be sufficiently below surface of retaining slot to permit circumferential
movement.

located on both sides of loading slot and on locking lug located 180 degrees oppo-
site loading slot.
(c) Push three locking lugs radially inward to bottom of dovetail slot. Locking lugs will
be sufficiently below surface of retaining slot to permit circumferential movement.
CAUTION

Locking lug access hole, located 180 degrees from loading slot, shall be
taped to prevent locking lug reseating while moving blades, or part dam-
age may result.
NOTE

The INCO 718 stages 3-9 HPC spool has two locking lugs and four
locking blades per stage. The locking slots 180 degrees circumferen-
tially from the loading slot on stages 6-9 were eliminated. For INCO
718 stages 3-9 HPC spools, disregard step 15.B.(2)(d).
(d) Cover access hole of locking lug, located 180 degrees from loading slot, with tape
to prevent possible resetting of lug into locking slot when blades are moved.

CAUTION
• Do not use unauthorized penetrating oils, or corrosion and pre-
mature failure may result.
• Impact tools should not be used to move blades, because of potential
damage to blades and spool.
NOTE
Penetrating oil may be used on blade dovetails to aid removal of blades.
(e) Rotate entire stage of blades circumferentially (in either direction) approximately
one-half width of blade platform, until locking blade is in line with loading slot.
Blades may be moved by lightly tapping on blade airfoil base with plastic drift. Use
care not to distort or damage airfoil.
(f) Remove blade by pulling straight out of loading slot.
(g) Slide locking lug to loading slot and remove.

CAUTION
Failure to identify balance weight positions may result in rotor
imbalance.

(i) Continue moving blades up to loading slot and removing. If installed, remove
seal plugs from between stages 3-5 blades. Discard seal plugs.

(j) Using marking pen, mark balance weights by position, so weights can be
installed at same position when replacement blades are installed.

C. Remove seized locking lugs using removal kit, 4013408-282, as follows:

(1) Before drilling, try using the shock bar to unlock the screw. Soak lug with L1
Liquid Wrench. Shock lug using shock bar, provided in kit, and a small ball peen
hammer.

(2) If step (1) fails, use an easy out to remove setscrew as follows:

(a) Find inscribed metal depth guide block, for easy out drilling, in kit.
Determine what color chuck extender to use, based on the stage being
worked.

(b) Insert smaller diameter drill bit into chuck extender and tighten extender.
Ensure proper depth by inserting bit into hole in depth guide that corresponds
to stage being worked.

(c) Drill into screw until bottom of extender touches lug.

(d) Use easy out extractor and remove screw.

(3) If step (2) fails, drill out threads down to locking feature and use easy out as
follows:

(a) Use inscribed depth guide block for thread clearing and find correct chuck
to use.

(b) Insert larger diameter drill bit and check depth using depth guide. Drill into
screw until bottom of chuck extender touches lug.

(c) Use easy out extractor to remove screw.

D. In stages 6-14, check and remove wire seals, if required, as follows (figures 13 and14):

(1) Measure gap between ends of wire seal. Maximum serviceable gap between wire
seal ends is 1.00 inch (25.4 mm). Check one gap per stage on stages 6-10 and
three gaps per stage on stages 11-14.

17. HPC Rotor Stages 3-14 Blades Selection.

NOTE

If individual blades are being replaced, select blades per step A. If an entire
stage of blades is being replaced, calculate blade position per step B.

A. If individual blades require replacement, select replacement blades as follows:

(1) Select replacement blades with length equal to or slightly longer than blade being
replaced. Take measurement from bottom of blade dovetail. If replaced blade length can-
not be determined, use length of shorter of two adjacent blades or 0.005 inch (0.13 mm)
less than the longer blade, whichever is longer.

CAUTION

Blade part numbers shall be checked before installation. New blade must
have same part number as old blade or comparable number per Illus-
trated Parts Breakdown (IPB), GEK 105060.

(2) Select replacement blades of similar platform width distribution of removed blades.
Check that replacement blades have correct part number per IPB, GEK 105060.

19. Compressor Rotor Blades Blending.

See figures 21 through 23.

WARNING

An accumulation of titanium dust shall be treated as a fire hazard.

CAUTION

• Titanium parts shall not be blend repaired with tools such as grinding
wheels, files, stones, or emery cloths that have been used to repair
other types of metal. Stages 1 through 5 blades are titanium.

• Do not use silver or cadmium tools on titanium parts. When cadmium-


or silver-plated tools are used on titanium parts, particles of cadmium
or silver may become embedded in the titanium. At temperatures
above 500°F (316°C), the metals can cause embrittlement, resulting in
overstessed areas and possible cracking. Chrome-plated, nickel-plated
and unplated tools may be used on titanium parts.

NOTE

A “Boroblend” process is available with the capability of blending some cases of


HPC blades distress through the borescope port without removal of the top stator
case. This procedure requires use of special equipment and qualified and
approved personnel. A single, one-time borescope inspection of the repaired
blades is required 500 hours after blending by this process. Contact your Cus-
tomer Support Manager to request determination of the applicability of this pro-
cess.

A. Use smooth file, not over 8.0 inches (203 mm) long, or emery cloth to remove nicks and
dents when removal of considerable material is necessary. File or blend in longitudinal direc-
tion (parallel with airfoil length). Power tools may be used for initial heavy removal of mate-
rial such as excessive tip curl. Final blend and polish 0.020–0.030 inch (0.51–0.76 mm) must
be accomplished by hand.

10. HPC Outlet Guide Vane Blending.

NOTE

Blending may be accomplished using either step A, B, or C.

A. Remove high metal by blending down to the machined surface. Use abrasive stones or
papers. Coarse grades of abrasive may be used for fast removal of metal. Then use a
fine grade abrasive for the finish.

B. Blend to remove damage with a fine file, abrasive cloth or abrasive stone as follows
(figure 3):

(1) Blend and polish in a longitudinal direction, parallel with the airfoil of the blades.

(2) The leading and trailing edge radius of the blend repaired area must conform to
the original contour with the airfoil of the blades (figure 4) .

(3) When blending on an area involving a radius, maintain the radius as specified or
as near as possible to the original radius.

(4) The finish must be 16-32 microinches (0.41-0.81 micrometer).

CAUTION
Power blending must be accomplished in such a manner that
no excessive heat and thermal stresses will be generated.

C. If a large or deep blend is required, blend to remove the damage with a slow speed
power tool to shorten the time required for repair as follows (figure 3):

(1) Blend and polish in a longitudinal direction, parallel with the airfoil of the blades.

(2) The leading and trailing edge radius of the blend repaired area must conform to
the original contour (figure 4) .

(3) When blending on an area involving a radius, maintain the radius as specified or
as near as possible to the original radius.

(4) The finish must be 16-32 microinches (0.41-0.81 micrometer).

11. HPC Outlet Guide Vane Installation.

A. Assemble OGVs to liners (figure 5) as follows:

CAUTION

Do not force OGVs into liners. OGVs should assemble without addi-
tional force. If OGVs cannot be installed easily, check for correct
vane orientation.

NOTE

• All dimensions involving OGV key in liner are taken with key bot-
tomed in slot.

• Vanes that are to be reinstalled in the same casing from which


they were removed, should have been numbered sequentially to
permit reinstallation in the same circumferential location.

(1) Install forward and aft vane dovetail liners into OGV liner as follows:

(a) Install vane dovetail liners into OGV liner per figure 5.

(b) With OGV key bottomed into slot in OGV liner, push dovetail liners so liners
are against OGV key. Check vane dovetail liners are 0.005-0.050 inch
(0.13-1.27 mm) inside end of OGV liner.

(2) Install vanes into OGV liner as follows:

NOTE

The number of wide and narrow vanes is to be adjusted to obtain the


required gap between the liner and last vane installed.

(a) Install one 3-vane OGV segment into end opposite key of each liner and slide
to key end of liner.

(b) Install 25 OGVs into each of OGV liners. Ensure all vane leading edges are
forward.

(c) Check OGVs extend 0.000-0.012 inch (0.00-0.30 mm) beyond end of OGV
liner with vanes rotated against OGV key and with OGV key bottomed in slot
against OGV liner. Use alternate wide and narrow OGVs to achieve this
dimension.

(d) Secure OGVs in liners with plastic tape until ready for installation into CRF
assembly.

hold insulation blankets in place. Do not align butt ends of insulation blankets
with butt ends of OGV liners.

(2) Locally crush insulation blanket at slots in CRF rail to permit engagement of key.
Tearing of insulation blanket skin is not permitted.

(3) Using OGV liner assemblies as guide, mark locations on CRF that require liner
clips. Use marking pen.

(4) Install one OGV liner clip onto each marked location. Prebend clip and snap into
place. Liner clip should protrude forward after installed over rail.

NOTE

Outboard forward hook of liner must not protrude axially forward of


CRF forward flange.

(5) Install each OGV liner assembly, engaging liner key into slot in CRF rail. Rotate
liner counterclockwise (before seating), forward looking aft, so key contacts slot
in CRF rail.

NOTE

Ensure that OGV liner clips protrude through slots of the OGV liner
assembly.

(6) Seat OGV liner assembly onto OGV liner rails by lightly tapping with plastic or
rubber mallet.

(7) Bend OGV liner clips outboard to secure OGV liner assembly into CRF. Tabs
must not protrude forward of CRF forward flange.

separating/liberating, perform the following:

• document overall seal condition

• document amount of missing metal (% of seal separated/liberated)

• document total operating hours and cycles accumulated on seal since new

• photograph seal

• provide seal documentation and photographs to GE for review and identification


of special inspection and disposition required on the HPTR beyond manual
requirements.

WARNING
Serious injury can occur when applying pneumatic pressure. Eye
protection is required. Relieve pressure before disconnecting lines
and fittings.

CAUTION

• The high pressure compressor (HPC) and low pressure compres-


sor (LPC) rotors will rotate during HPT module removal. Ensure
LPC inlet is clear of foreign objects and rotors are free to rotate.

• Do not exceed 900 lb ft (1220 N·m) of output torque.

NOTE

• The HPT rotor and pusher shaft, 1C9608P03, will rotate counter-
clockwise (CCW) and move aft during removal. The frame,
2C14199P123/1C9608P02, and torque multiplier will not rotate,
but will move aft.

• The module removal operation may be stopped and started as nec-


essary without causing bearing damage. Tooling shall remain in
place at all times.

(1) Apply CCW input torque to torque multiplier. Pneumatic torque multiplier, Sweeney
Model 8202A, (in direct drive) may be used in combination with torque multiplier,
Sweeney Model 8200, at a pressure of 90 psi (621 kPa) to reduce installation time.

(2) Apply torque until the CRF flange is outside of the second scribe line on guide pins,
2C14199P33. See figure 8. This will ensure that the HPT module has moved aft far
enough.

• The following procedure allows replacement of a maximum of


five stage 2 blades without a subsequent HPT rotor balance.

• If the tube coupling nut is removed, install HPT clamp fixture,


1C9444.

A. Remove stage 2 blade retainer, figure 1, as follows:

WARNING

The stage 2 HPT disk is sensitive to nicks and scratches that


could inadvertently result from this procedure. If the stage 2 disk
is damaged, even slightly, during this procedure, the disk must be
referred to the appropriate Factory Technical Support represen-
tative for evaluation and repair recommendation. Failure to
comply may result in an uncontained engine failure, which could
cause injury or death.

(1) Apply penetrating oil onto threads of nuts that secure stage 2 blade retainer onto
stage 2 disk. Allow penetrating oil to soak for 20 minutes.

(2) Using marking pen, matchmark stage 2 blade retainer to stage 2 disk.

CAUTION

Do not move HPT rotor assembly while stage 2 blade retainer is


removed unless a minimum of 37 blade retainer nuts are installed
and tightened to 110-120 lb in. (12.4-13.6 N·m) of torque.

(3) Remove and discard nuts that secure stage 2 blade retainer. If any stud is broken,
or if any nut must be cut off, replace HPT module.

WARNING
Dry ice, BB-C-104: Do not let this material touch you. Low-tem-
perature skin damage. Can decrease available air. Asphyxiant.
Personal protective equipment required, especially insulated
gloves and eye protection when handling material. Use in a well-
ventilated area.

(5) Remove stage 2 blade retainer. Remove and discard ring seal.

B. Remove stage 2 HPT rotor blades as follows:

WARNING

The stage 2 HPT disk is sensitive to nicks and scratches that


could inadvertently result from this procedure. If the stage 2 disk
is damaged, even slightly, during this procedure, the disk must
be referred to the appropriate Factory Technical Support repre-
sentative for evaluation and repair recommendation. Failure to
comply may result in an uncontained engine failure, which could
cause injury or death.

CAUTION
Ensure blade damper assemblies are matchmarked accurately.
Incorrect placement at installation will cause rotor imbalance.

(1) Position mark stage 2 blades and blade dampers to be removed and their
corresponding dovetail slot on stage 2 disk using marking pen. Mark blade
damper assemblies to be removed.

1. Introduction.

A. This work package contains instructions for removing or installing the gas turbine in an
enclosure.

B. Disconnect and connect electrical leads and connecting tubes on the gas turbine per
SWP 1913 01, SWP 1913 02, SWP 1913 03, and SWP 1913 04.

NOTE

Testing has demonstrated that failure to complete the following purge


procedure will result in residual fuel within the gas turbine and fuel
supply system and the engine cannot be declared Non-HAZMAT for
shipping. Similarly, testing shows that, if the procedure is completed,
the engine will be free of fuel and can be declared Non-HAZMAT.

C. Normal Shutdown and Cooldown. If the gas turbine including fuel system is to be removed
from the enclosure in preparation for shipment by ground or air, complete the following fuel
system drain and purge procedure. Fuel system removal prior to shipment does not require
the purge procedure.

(1) While the engine is still in the enclosure, disconnect all fuel manifolds at the package
supply interface.

WARNING
Lubricating oil, MIL-L-6081, is toxic to skin, eyes, and respiratory
tract. Skin and eye protection is required. Avoid repeated or pro-
longed contact. Use in a well-ventilated area.

(a) Liquid Fuel - If present, should be drained into a container or fuel drain tank when
the fittings are opened. Any locations such as flow splitter, pressurization valve or
flow divider should also be isolated and drained. As an alternative to ventilating, the
liquid fuel system can be filled with MIL-L-6081, Grade 1010 slush oil. This alter-
native is preferred if the engine is to be stored for extended periods before or after
service.

(b) Gas Fuel - Open the fuel manifold fittings and allow them to ventilate into the
enclosure.

(2) Using the Human Machine Interface (HMI), start the enclosure ventilation fan(s).

(3) Initiate a Dry Crank (no fuel supply) using the HMI and allow the engine to ramp to
2200 rpm HP rotor speed for 10 minutes. This will ventilate any remaining fuel or vapor
into the enclosure using compressor discharge air.

WP 3010 00

(4) For DLE units, all staging valves should be normally open. If there are any normally
closed valves in the system the HMI should be used to open them.

(5) After 10-minute purge, stop dry crank.

(6) Stop ventilation fan(s).

(7) Complete gas turbine removal.

D. Emergency Shutdown or Engine Failure. If the gas turbine including fuel system is to be
removed from the enclosure in preparation for shipment by ground or air, complete the fol-
lowing fuel system drain and purge procedure. Fuel system removal prior to shipment does
not require the purge procedure.

(1) While the engine is still in the enclosure, disconnect all fuel manifolds at the package
supply interface as well as at all nozzles or premixers.

(2) Using the HMI, start the enclosure ventilation fan(s).

(3) Drain and blow out all fuel lines.

WARNING
Lubricating oil, MIL-L-6081, is toxic to skin, eyes, and respiratory
tract. Skin and eye protection is required. Avoid repeated or pro-
longed contact. Use in a well-ventilated area.

(a) Liquid Fuel - If present, should be drained into an approved container or the fuel
drain tank when the fittings are opened. Any locations such as flow splitter, pressur-
ization valve or flow divider should also be isolated and drained. As an alternative to
ventilating, the liquid fuel system can be filled with MIL-L-6081, Grade 1010 slush
oil. This alternative is preferred if the engine is to be stored for extended periods
before or after service.

(b) Open the combustor case drain fitting and drain any residual fuel into an approved
container or the fuel drain tank.

WARNING

When using compressed air for cleaning, cooling, or drying, do not


exceed 30 psig (207 Kpa). Wear eye protection and do not direct
compressed air at self or others.

(c) After all fuel is drained, blow out each of the lines, hoses and connections with shop
air.

F. Connect customer electrical interfaces as follows:

NOTE

• LM6000 PC gas turbines, serial numbers 191-100 through 191-177


and 191-179, were delivered with a speed sensor mounted on the LPC
casing (this sensor is sometimes referred to as the XN2 speed sensor).
When installing an LM6000 PC engine without an XN2 speed sensor
(SN 191-178 and 191-180 and up), the XN2 harness connector should
be protected with tape or other suitable means, and an adjustment
must be made to the control system. Control system tunable switch
N2SELSW (contact packager or control supplier to confirm this
parameter name) must be set to False to run with the LPT (XNSD)
sensors only. When subsequently installing a gas turbine with an XN2
sensor, the software switch should be reset to its original setting
(True).

• When installing an LM6000 PC engine that has an XN2 sensor into


a site which does not have cabling to accept this speed input, the
sensor lead should be secured with a nylon wire tie or appropriate
means to prevent wearing or chafing of the sensor lead. There is no
need in this case to change any software settings.

(1) Connect customer electrical cables as follows:

WARNING
Circuits shall be open (off) and capacitors discharged to ground
before proceeding. Electricity causes shock, burns, and death.

(a) Connect customer electrical cables to electrical interface panels.

6. Water-Wash Description.

NOTE
The need for gas turbine water wash and frequency is installation
and site specific. In particular, effectiveness of inlet filtration may
have a significant effect on need for washing. Reduced power out-
put and dirty appearance during borescope are indications that the
gas turbine may benefit from off-line water wash.

The following basic water-wash procedures may be applied:

A. Crank/Soak Cleaning: Applied while motoring the high pressure (HP) rotor at greater
than 2000 RPM and low pressure (LP) rotor at greater than 200 RPM. Used for
performing a thorough cleaning of engine. Crank-soak washing removes oily or tarry
deposits which bind dirt to blade. The frequency of wash must be tailored to type of
atmospheric contaminants, temperature, operational frequency/profile, gas turbine
health and site economics. In the absence of this information a prudent strategy would
be to crank-soak wash every 2 weeks.

B. On-line Cleaning: Applied while engine is running. Requires special on-line cleaning
manifold. It is used primarily to maintain gas turbine performance between crank-soak
washes but rarely is able to make a significant improvement in performance.

7. Water and Detergent Requirements.

A. Water quality and liquid detergent for crank/soak compressor cleaning must meet
requirements specified in Appendix A4 and Appendix A5,Volume I of this manual.

B. The liquid detergents listed below may be used for performing water-wash
procedures. Follow liquid detergent manufacturer's instructions for recommended
detergent/water dilution ratios. Ensure that detergents used, including those listed,
meet requirements specified by packager.

• ARDROX 6322 (solvent base)


• CleanBladeTM GTC1000
• Conntect (water base)
• PROTOKLENZ-GT-SC
• RMC Turbine/Engine Cleaner (solvent base)
• Rochem FYREWASH (solvent base)
• Techniclean GT (water base)

• Turbotect 950 (water base)


• Turbo-K
• Zok 27 and Zok 27LA (water base)

C. In freezing weather, mix one of the antifreeze agents listed below with cleaning
solution. Refer to Appendix A5 for recommended solution mixtures and additional
information.

• Acetone

• Isopropyl alcohol

• Monopropylene Glycol

8. Crank/Soak Cleaning.

A. Before initiating crank/soak cleaning sequence, comply with the following


requirements:

WARNING
• The enclosure area shall be ventilated. The engine shall
be shut down and cooled prior to crank/soak cleaning.
All drains shall be open.

• Concentrated B & B 3100 solvent, acetone, and isopro-


pyl alcohol are flammable and toxic to skin, eyes, and
respiratory tract. Skin, eye, and respiratory protection is
required. Avoid repeated or prolonged contact. Use with
good ventilation.

CAUTION
Be certain that checklists have been established for packager-
furnished equipment. Consult the packager’s manual for
mandatory pre-start procedures, especially making sure that
the packager-furnished lube supply sub-system is activated
and operational prior to any motoring sequence. Failure to
comply may result in part damage.

(1) Disconnect pressure sensor lines from PS3 and P48 locations on gas turbine to
prevent water collection in lines and subsequently affecting engine operation.

(2) Cover electronic devices below gas turbine, such as fuel metering valve, to pre-
vent entry of water that may affect engine operation.

(3) If crank/soak cleaning is not preceded by an extended shutdown period, perform a


normal shutdown (including 5 minutes at core idle for cooling). Refer to
Chapter 8, Volume I of this manual for engine shutdown procedures.

(4) Allow gas turbine to cool so that outside surfaces are less than 200°F (93°C).

WARNING

If natural gas is used to drive the starter, additional safety


precautions are required. These include safety measures for
combustible gases and venting of starter exhaust to a safe
location.

NOTE

While motoring the engine with the starter, ensure that a minimum
lube pressure of 6 psig (41 kPa) is maintained.

(5) To expedite cooling, motoring starter is permissible. Dry motoring procedures are
contained in to Chapter 8, Volume I of this manual. Limit starter duty cycles to
those defined in Chapter 5, Volume I.

B. Perform crank/soak cleaning cycle as follows:

(1) Motor HP rotor to 2,000 rpm and allow speed to stabilize. Low pressure (LP)
rotor speed should be 200-300 rpm. Allow LP rotor speed to stabilize before
initiating water flow.

CAUTION
In below freezing conditions, antifreeze agents shall be added to
the water. The use of non-isopropyl alcohol, ethylene glycol,
and additives containing chlorine, sodium, or potassium are not
permitted since they may attack titanium and other metals in the
engine.

NOTE

• Total solids in the wash and rinse waters shall be no more than
100 ppm. The ph factor shall be between 6.5 and 8.5 at 77°F
(25°C). Potable water will normally meet these requirements.
Water-wash solution should be at room temperature and a flow
rate of approximately 20 gpm (76 liters/minute).

• Residual waste following water-wash with solvent should be


disposed of in accordance with local environmental regulations
for the specific geographic location. Users should contact the
solvent supplier for details relative to the solvent used.

• Packager-supplied control system will open the VIGVs and


will close the VBVs. The VSVs will remain on schedule.

• The number of wash cycles required to clean a gas turbine


depends on the starting condition and the effectiveness of
the wash solution/process.

• In some cases, off-line soak washing may not prove to be


effective in restoring performance of its unit. In these cases,
compressor top case hand cleaning of HPC blades and
vanes may be necessary. As compressor fouling also affects
stall margin, a heavily fouled compressor may lead to a stall
event.

(2) Inject 20 gallons (76 liters) of water-wash solution through crank/soak


water-wash manifold while motoring HP rotor at approximately 2,000 rpm and LP
rotor at 200-300 rpm.

CAUTION
Packager-supplied control system shall automatically close
the water wash injection valve if LP rotor speed drops below
200 RPM or HP rotor speed drops below 2000 RPM. Water
injection at lower speeds may result in water entering LP or
HP compressors rotors, which may result in major engine
damage.

(3) After completion of wash solution injection, close the variable inlet guide vanes
(VIGVs) and maintain variable bypass valves (VBVs) in closed position. Allow
rotors to coast to a stop and the solution to soak for a minimum of 10 minutes.
Operator experience will determine soak time.

NOTE

• For systems with driven equipment having large rotational


inertia, it may not be practical to allow the rotors to coast
to a stop. The soak will be a rolling soak.

• During wash cycle, approximately 10 percent of the water


and cleaning solution will leak through the engine casings
and openings to the exterior of the engine.

• The number of rinses required depends on the condition of


the engine prior to wash, the quantity of wash solution used,
and the effectiveness of the rinse.

C. Complete rinse cycles as follows:

(1) Open inlet drain, bleed air collector drain, exhaust collector drains, and module
drains to remove any wash solution and rinse water after washing is complete.

(2) Use a minimum of 25 gallons (95 liters) of 160 to 180°F (71 to 82°C) water, while
motoring HP rotor at approximately 2,000 rpm and LP rotor at 200-300 rpm.

NOTE

Rinsing performed using unheated water will require more


water to achieve the same rinsing effectiveness as heated water.

(3) Repeat rinse until water sample at turbine exhaust is clear. If conductivity check-
ing is possible, conductivity should be similar to that of clear rinse water.

(4) After rinsing, shut off water supply.

(5) Regulate pneumatic starter air supply for normal operation.

(6) Open low pressure compressor (LPC) variable bleed valves.

D. As an option, operator may inspect gas turbine to determine if cleaning process was
adequate as follows:

(1) After completion of the rinse cycles, allow rotors to coast to a complete stop.

(2) Borescope inspect LPC and high pressure compressor (HPC) rotors per
WP 4015 00, Volume II of this manual, paying particular attention to stator/blade
airfoils.

(3) If excessive contaminants are still present, rewash as required.

E. Make a normal engine start and allow engine to run at synchronous idle for 2-3
minutes to dry engine.

9. On-Line Cleaning.

CAUTION
Antifreeze mixtures for on-line water-wash and rinse should
be used when ambient temperatures are 50°F (10°C) or less.
Formation of ice may result in major engine damage.

NOTE

On-line cleaning does not typically eliminate the need for off-
line cleaning and it is not effective in cleaning a significantly
fouled compressor. However, on-line cleaning will typically
extend the required intervals for off-line cleaning to maintain
the gas turbine performance.

A. Conduct on-line wash with water only. Use of detergent is not recommended.
Use of water to NOx suppression standards per specification MID-TD-0000-3
(Appendix A-3) is required.

B. Limit total amount of water to 100 gal/day (378.5 liters/day) maximum.

C. Refer to packager's manual for specific amount of water and frequency of on-line
wash.

CAUTION

• Do not rotate engine while the borescope equipment is inserted into


the engine. Damage to equipment and/or engine could occur.

• Ensure proper operator orientation of borescope probe with engine


prior to inspection. Flexible scope components could become lodged
if inserted into the inlet gearbox bevel gears.

• Assure proper equipment is utilized for inspection. A 6 mm flex bore-


scope with straight tip is recommended. Utilization of different
equipment could cause flexible scope components to become lodged.

A. Remove the four bolts per flange, one gasket, and B-sump vent manifold from the aft side of
the front frame (just aft of the air collector) at the 2:00 and 10:00 o'clock positions aft looking
forward (ALF). Place tape over open port (10:00 o'clock position) on left side once pipe has
been removed.

B. Remove any additional clamps or attaching bolts as required to remove manifold.

C. On right hand port, insert the flexible borescope approximately 15 inches (38.1 cm) into the
frame. The scope will traverse two turns and exit the front frame strut with the IGB housing
and pressurizing holes visible.

CAUTION

Flexible scope components could become lodged if inserted into the


inlet gearbox bevel gears.

D. Carefully enter the IGB assembly through the pressurizing holes. The inlet gearbox bevel
gears are immediately forward of this location, the flexible probe must be articulated aft,
towards the No. 3R bearing and the inlet gearbox splines.

E. Proceed aft approximately 2 inches (5.1 cm) towards the No. 3R bearing and the inlet gearbox
splines.

F. Inspect the area for evidence of iron oxide “sludge”. Iron oxide “sludge” buildup has been
determined to be evidence of spline wear as a result of non-optimized lubrication.

G. If iron oxide “sludge” is present, notify GE and provide photos/documentation of IGB spline
wear condition.

H. Remove the flexible borescope being careful not to move the borescope forward toward the
inlet gearbox bevel gears.

I. Lubricate bolts with thread lubricant. Install four bolts per flange point, with one gasket and
B-sump vent manifold from the aft side of the front frame (just aft of the air collector) at the
2:00 and 10:00 o'clock positions aft looking forward (ALF). Torque bolts to 62-68 lb in.
(7.0-7.7 N·m).

J. Reinstall any bolt, washers, nuts or clamps that were also removed to B-sump vent manifold.
Torque bolt or nut to 62-68 lb in. (7.0-7.7 N·m).

12. High Pressure Compressor (HPC) Borescope Inspection.

CAUTION
To prevent foreign objects from entering the gas turbine, keep borescope
ports covered when they are not being used. Open one port at a time.

A. Open variable stator vanes (VSV) per WP 1411 00.

B. Zero index HPC rotor as follows:

(1) Gain access to borescope port S5-11 through the stage 11 bleed air manifold per
SWP 1913 02 and remove S5-11 borescope plug.

(2) Rotate rotor clockwise (forward looking aft) and use borescope probe to view stage 12
rotor blade platforms. Locate first blade to left of two locking lugs. See figure 6.

NOTE

The locking lugs are two blades apart. The rotor blades rotate CCW as
viewed through the borescope.

(3) Position this blade in line with leading edge of stage 12 stator vane (as viewed through
the borescope). Identify this blade as blade No. 1. The next blade to appear will be blade
No. 2. See figure 6.

(4) The HPC rotor is now zero-referenced for all stages of compressor and HPT rotor blades.
Inspection of each applicable stage must start with HPC rotor positioned back to zero
reference point at stage 12.

C. Gain access to borescope ports S5-7, S5-8, and S5-9 through the stages 7 and 8 bleed air man-
ifolds per SWP 1913 02 and remove S5-7, S5-8, and S5-9 borescope plugs.

D. Remove borescope plugs from borescope ports S5-0 through S5-6, S5-10, S5-12, and S5-13
from HPC case. See figure 7.

NOTE

• Severe stalls may cause blade-to-case rubs which may induce


blade tip cracking that is hard to detect following the event.

• A “Boroblend” process is available with the capability of


blending some cases of HPC blades distress through the bores-
cope port without removal of the top stator case. This proce-
dure requires use of special equipment and qualified and
approved personnel. A single, one-time borescope inspection
of the repaired blades is required 500 hours after blending by
this process. Contact your Customer Support Manager to
request determination of the applicability of this process.

Only required for cast Diffuser, PN 9290M28P15.

CAUTION

To prevent foreign objects from entering the gas turbine, keep bores-
cope ports covered when they are not being used. Open one port at a
time.

A. Remove fuel nozzle at 12:00 o'clock position per WP 1510 00 (Gas/Steam),


WP 1511 00 (Dual Fuel/Water), WP 1512 00 (Gas/Water), WP 1513 00
(Liquid Fuel/Water), or WP 1514 00 (Gas/Fuel). Place nozzles in secure area.

NOTE

Borescope guide tube, PN 1C9459P01, may be used to facilitate inser-


tion of flexscope.

B. Insert Everest XLG3 or XL Go, or equivalent, flexscope into fuel nozzle port, around/under
combustor cowl and inner liner and through holes in stage 1 HPT nozzle support and seal sup-
port (mini nozzle) until outer vanes of HPT diffuser are visible. Continue to insert flexscope
until entire trailing edge of adjacent vane is visible. See figures 22.A. and 22.B.

C. Borescope inspect entire length of transition radius between convex vane wall and aft wall of
vane ring to extent allowed by physical limitations of borescope equipment. See figure 22.B.

D. Retract borescope from HPT diffuser enough to allow rotation of core without
damaging borescope equipment.

CAUTION
Do not rotate engine while the borescope equipment is inserted into
rotating parts of the engine (HPT diffuser). Damage to equipment
and engine could occur.

E. Rotate core until next diffuser vane is visible.

F. Repeat inspection for all nine diffuser vanes.

6. Lube Oil Test.

A. Obtain lube oil sample as follows:

WARNING

• Lubricating oil, MIL-L-23699, is toxic to skin, eyes, and


respiratory tract. Do not inhale, ingest, or let this mate-
rial touch you. Skin and eye protection is required.
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact. Use in a well-ven-
tilated area.

• Use thermal gloves when you move or touch hot or cold


parts. Hot or cold parts can cause injury.

CAUTION
Do not take oil sample from low drain point. Low drain point
may contain heavy sediments and provide incorrect indications.

(1) Shut down engine.

NOTE
All oil samples shall be taken from the same location.

(2) Obtain oil sample as follows:

(a) Obtain oil sample within 30 minutes after engine shutdown.

(b) Take oil sample from oil tank filler. Ensure oil extraction equipment and
container are clean and free of contaminates.

(c) If oil sample is obtained from a low drain point, such as the scavenge oil
discharge line, flow approximately l pint (0.5 liter) into a waste container and
then, without interrupting the flow, obtain oil sample.

B. Label the sample with the following information:

Sample Location ___________________________

Gas Turbine S/N ___________________________

Oil Type __________________________________

6. Chip Detector Removal.

A. Before removing the chip detectors, do the following:

(1) Verify gas turbine will be inoperable during inspection.

(2) Shut off main fuel inlet valve per packager's manual.

(3) Deactivate fire extinguishing system per packager's manual.

(4) Enter enclosure access per packager's manual. Enclosure door must remain open.

(5) Shut off oil supply to gas turbine.

B. Remove chip detectors from locations shown in figure 1. Remove chip detector from
housing bayonet mount by pushing knurled ring inward and rotating counterclockwise
(figure 2).

NOTE
Standard chip detector configuration is common scavenge, B-scavenge,
and transfer gearbox (TGB) scavenge. Optional chip detectors may be
installed in C-scavenge, D-scavenge, and E-scavenge ports.

7. Chip Detector Inspection.

A. Visually inspect chip detectors for foreign material (figure 3). If any foreign material
is found, analyze, and perform corrective action as follows:
3
(1) Isolate source of foreign material by identifying area from which material was
scavenged. Check lube and scavenge pump screens per WP 4020 00.

(2) Visually examine suspect material for identification of source. If material can be
visually identified as bearing material, such as roller, ball, and/or race fragments,
component replacement is the required corrective action. Bearing races, rollers,
and balls are magnetic, therefore, separating out any magnetic materials will help
identification. See table 1.

(3) Main gas turbine bearing distress normally increases lube scavenge temperatures
and gas turbine vibration. Review gas turbine log sheets for significant changes in
gas turbine logged parameters.

(4) If suspect material is found on TGB chip detector or in TGB screen, source must
be further identified. Remove lower drain plug and inspect TGB/A-sump area for
any distress.

(5) If suspect material is identified as bolt or rivet fragments, replace component as


indicated by screen identity. Bearing cage rivets indicate a radial drive shaft
failure.

(6) If suspect material is identified as pieces of preformed packing, gasket, safety


wire, coke, machining chip, or seal rub strip material, place gas turbine on watch,
e.g., check and clean chip detectors and scavenge pump screens daily and monitor
lube system parameters until problem is located or chip detectors and screens are
clean for two consecutive days, then resume normal inspection intervals.

(7) If more information is required, contact customer support manager for


clarification.

B. If chip detector is suspect of malfunctioning, check continuity as follows:

(1) Remove electrical connector per WP 1910 00.

(2) Check for open continuity of pins to housing and all pins to each other.

(3) Check continuity across chip detector tip control surfaces. Continuity shall not
exceed 10 ohms.

WARNING

Lubricating oil, MIL-PRF-23699F (C/I): Combustible. Do not


inhale, ingest, or let this material touch you. Irritant. Personal
protective equipment required. Use mechanical exhaust ventila-
tion - if not available, use an approved respirator.

(1) Remove drain plugs or chip detectors from transfer gearbox (TGB), accessory
gearbox (AGB), B-sump, C-sump, D-sump, and E-sump inlet screens. Remove
and discard preformed packings. Examine chip detectors per WP 4017 00. Drain
residual oil into approved waste container.

(2) Remove lube inlet screen and six lube scavenge inlet screens from lube and
scavenge pump, and identify by location using tags or vibropeen etch. Remove
and discard preformed packings.

7. Lube and Scavenge Pump Inlet Screens Inspection.

Table 1. Component Failure Corrective Action

Filter Screen Possible Cause Possible Corrective Action


A. TGB 1. TGB failure 1. Replace TGB
2. Inlet gearbox failure 2. Replace gas turbine
3. 1B or 2R bearing failure 3. Replace gas turbine
4. 3R bearing failure 4. Replace gas turbine
B. B-Sump 4R/4B bearing failure Replace gas turbine
C. C-Sump 5R bearing failure Replace gas turbine
D. D- and E-Sump 6R/7R bearing failure Replace LPT module
E. AGB Scavenge AGB failure Replace AGB (Note 1)
NOTE:
Some packager and GE supplied components use gas turbine lube oil and are scavenged through
the AGB. Material in the AGB could be indicative of failure of the gearbox mounted components
and not failure of the AGB itself.

(2) Visually examine suspect material for identification of source. If material can be visu-
ally identified as bearing materials, such as roller, ball and/or race fragments, required
corrective action is component replacement. Bearing races, rollers, and balls are mag-
netic, therefore, separating out any magnetic materials will help identification. Material
property analysis may be required. Main engine bearings cannot be replaced on-site.
Main engine bearings may be replaced at depot level. Main bearing failures require
replacement of gas turbine or module. See table 1 for possible corrective action details.

(3) Main gas turbine bearing distress usually increases lube scavenge temperatures and gas
turbine vibration, therefore, gas turbine log sheets should be reviewed for significant
changes in gas turbine logged parameters.

(4) If suspect material is found in TGB screen, source shall require further
identification. Inspect TGB/A-sump area for any distress.

(5) If suspect material is identified as bolt or rivet fragments, replace component as indi-
cated by screen identity.

(6) If suspect material is identified as pieces of preformed packing, gasket, safety wire,
coke, machining chip, or seal rub strip material, place gas turbine on watch, e.g., check
and clean scavenge pump screens daily and monitor lube system parameters until prob-
lem is located or screens are clean for two successive days, then resume normal inspec-
tion intervals.

6. Overspeed Conditions Inspection.

CAUTION

If a questionable condition exists, do not attempt to motor or


operate the engine until a thorough investigation of the condition
has been made. Do not repeat hot starts, compressor stalls, load-
shedding, or other problems that initiate emergency shutdowns
or aborted operations without thorough investigation. Failure to
do so may result in undue stress on engine components that may
result in damage and ultimate failure.

NOTE

• The electronic control system low pressure rotor trip point is


4,300 rpm, while the high pressure trip point is 10,711 rpm.
During overspeed events, the rotor speeds can exceed the
control system trip point.

• Following an overspeed trip, the control system transient data


shall be retrieved from the gas turbine electronic control
system. Do not reset the control or attempt another start before
retrieving the data and noting the maximum low pressure rotor
and high pressure rotor speeds during the overspeed event.

A. Following an emergency shutdown for overspeed, retrieve maximum obtained low


pressure rotor and high pressure rotor speeds from electronic control transient data. See
appropriate packager's manual for instructions.

B. Perform overspeed inspection per table 1 (low pressure rotor) and table 2 (high pressure
rotor).

C. Perform gas turbine control system check per appropriate packager's manual.

D. Perform inlet and exhaust inspection per WP 4010 00 and WP 4011 00 or packager's
manual.

E. Borescope low pressure compressor (LPC) and low pressure turbine (LPT) or high
pressure compressor (HPC) and high pressure turbine (HPT) per WP 4015 00.

F. If LPC and LPT or HPC and HPT require teardown, remove gas turbine per WP 3010 00
and return to an authorized depot for teardown and inspection.

1. Introduction.

Engines operated with compressor stators with misassembled, bent, or broken lever arms with
broken connector links, or with actuation rings with elongated lever arm pin holes will result in
an off-schedule vane condition. This condition requires special handling of compressor rotor
blades in the stages adjacent to the vane stage containing the discrepant lever arm or connector
link.

6. Variable Stator Vane Off-Schedule Operation Inspection.

A. Inspect variable stator vane (VSV) lever arms as follows:

(1) Using sight gage tools, determine amount of off-schedule. Use sight gage, 2C6962, for
lever arms assembled to connecting links at the 3:00 and 9:00 o'clock positions. Use
sight gages, 2C6966 and 2C8016, for lever arms assembled to actuation rings.
See figure 1.

(2) Locate the gage over vane tangs and around retaining nut and sleeve. The clear
plexiglass arm extends over the lever arm and has lines scribed at 0 degrees ± 2 degrees,
and ± 4 degrees. The centerline at 0 degrees is scribed on both top and bottom. To
properly view through the gage, the centerlines must line up. The angle of bend is
determined by noting where the center of the pin or rivet is viewed among the scribed
lines.

B. If an off-schedule condition is found, proceed as follows:

(1) Record affected stage and number of degrees of off-schedule condition.

(2) Complete corrective action requirements per table 1.


Table 1. VSV Off-Schedule Corrective Action

Condition Corrective Action


A. Off-schedule is 2 degrees or less No action required
B. Off-schedule is more than 2 degrees, but Replace defective VSV actuation
less than 4 degrees components
C. Off-schedule is 4 degrees or more, or has
broken connector link:
a. Inlet guide vanes Replace two downstream stages of HPC
rotor blades per WP 2413 00
b. Stage 1 vane Replace one upstream and two downstream
stages of HPC rotor blades per WP 2413 00
