B. Depressive the header when shutting down
C. Controls gas to burners
D. Blocks FG header

23
Q

State why the fuel gas valve to the GT should always be closed when the turbine is not running.

A

To prevent FG from entering the system and causing a fire or explosion.

24
Q

State the consequences of low fuel gas header pressure

A

Can’t start the turbine and you’ll loose load on turbines running.

State the purpose of the block limit valves on the fuel gas header

A

Shut off fuel gas in the event of a fire, explosion, or leak.

29
Q

State the hazards associated with the fuel gas and distillate

A

Fuel gas is very flammable and distillate contains benzene

30
Q

Describe how the LP and HP steam evaporator levels are controlled.
