    COMPANY PROPRIETARY INFORMATION PGSD Field Engineer’s Manual — Gas Turbine Subject No EM 5367 DLN Exhaust Temperature Spread Troubleshooting Page INTRODUCTION This anticle was written with the intent to provide guideline information to aid the field engineer in the analysis and isolation of problem combustors associated with high exhaust temperature spreads. Ths analysis will be achieved Urough the comparison of exhaust thermocouple data and existing swicl chars. BACKGROUND Combustors withina Dry Low NOx system must run at peak performance levels. Eventhe slightest thermal variations ‘within single combustor ean create serious NOx and CO emissions. It should be understood thet asthe firing temper- ature of a combustor increases, CO levels will fall and NOx emissions will rise. Conversely, asthe firing temperature of a combustor decreases, CO levels increase while NOx levels decline. Spreads ccan be an indication of high or low combustor temperature. SWIRL CHART ANALYSIS ‘Swirl chart analysis is atool tha ads the field engineerin determining the probability that a particular combustor isnot functioning properly. ‘When high temperature spreads are measured withthe exhaust dhermocouples, the combustor that may be hot or cold can be determined by analyzing exhaust temperature magnitude and distribution, Evaluating the swirl angle of ahot or cold spot for a particular load, identifies the area to inspect first. ‘The curves that have been included with this package were derived by choking fuel to a known combustor thereby creating a"cold spot.” The exhaust thermocouple data was examined and the location ofthe cold spot in the exhaust thermocouple plane was identified. The swirl angle is thus the angle the combustion gesses travel from the fuel nozzle plane othe exhaust thermocouple plane. This was done at variousloads o createa chart of swirl angles as function of load PROCEDURE It the option to change load exists, the following steps should be Followed: 1. Set the oad of the gas turbine at approximately 85% load, 95% load, and 100% load. Allow time fortemperatures to stabilize. Three loads are used because the hot or cold thermocouple will change position in a clockwise rotation with an increase in load (with the exception of MS3002 which isa flat line), 2. Check thermocouple temperatures and find which thermocouple seems to be running hot or cold. Record this for Future use. This step will be done for each load that is se. 3. Find the load value that the machine is running on the swirl chart graph. Follow thet value until tintersects with the curve. Change directions to identify the corresponding Y-AXIS co- ordinate, Read the swirl angle. 4. Look atthe combustor and thermocouple graph and find the thermocouple onthe graph that was recorded earlier. 5, Fromthe thermocouple located in step 4, plot out the amount of swirl degrees thet was found in step 3 in a CLOCKWISE ROTATION (forward looking downstream). 6. Ifthe projected angle lands on a combustor drawn onthe graph. it can be assumed with a very high level of confidence that this is the problem combustor.
