GT13E2 startup reliability package

GT start-up is a phase of transient operation influenced by numerous factors. Under several specific conditions that depend on engine temperature, ambient conditions or fuel properties, the GT start-up sequence may not be completed successfully on the first attempt.

Benefits of the startup reliability package:

• Improves start-up reliability on fuel gas by correcting ignition mass flow and improving VIGV schedule
• Improves start-up reliability with premix fuel ratio to mitigate pulsation during blow-off valve closing
• Improves ignition reliability on fuel oil with a new cross ignition and stable acceleration procedure
• Start-up counter for long-term technical evaluations.
