DLE Gas Turbine Combustion Mapping Familiarization
Introduction
Aero Controls are pleased to provide the following course outline for DLE combustion mapping familiarization on Gas Only (3 day course) and Dual Fuel (5 day course) DLE gas turbines.
The course is tailored to suit end client needs for Gas Only and Dual Fuel DLE applications.
The training provides the participant with the requisite knowledge to understand the hardware layout of the LM2500 or LM6000 dual fuel DLE systems — from the fuel metering valves, staging valves, purge valves and fuel pre-mixers to the air bleed valve — plus insight into the gas turbine mapping control schedules and an overview of the mapping process including combustion boundaries.
