Gas Turbine - GCV, SRV Trouble, Gas Turbine Protection, Pre-ignition Trip, Turbine Startup
Two crucial elements of gas turbine protection systems: the Gas Control Valve (GCV) and the Safety Relief Valve (SRV). and how their malfunction can trip the machine, it can be prestart and post start also.
in todays video we will cover only pre ignition trips. rest will be covered in subsequent videos.
Gas turbines are the workhorses of many industries, powering everything from electricity generation to aviation. Ensuring their safe and efficient operation is of paramount importance. That’s where GCV and SRV valves come into play. base load and peak load power plants.
Gas Control Valves (GCVs) are responsible for regulating the flow of fuel into the combustion chamber. We’ll discuss how these valves maintain precise control over the fuel-air mixture, allowing the turbine to operate efficiently and within safe parameters. Learn about their role in preventing flameouts and maintaining stable combustion.
Safety Relief Valves (SRVs) serve as a critical safety measure to protect the gas turbine during abnormal operating conditions. We’ll explain how SRVs work to release excess pressure, preventing catastrophic failures that can occur in the event of pressure spikes or system malfunctions.
