Rolls Royce Avon

Gas Turbine Power Plant Package

SPECIFICATIONS FOR 14,000 KVA

I. DESCRIPTION

A. General

The package consists of three major block units – Block 1: Houses the jet with its

accessories

Block 2: Houses the expander turbine, the generator, and the excitation equipment.

Block 3: Houses all the control and starting equipment.

Each block is completely wired and piped and shipped separately to the site. Simple

connections will permit easy and fast assembly of the three blocks into one power

plant.

The power plant is supplied as an outdoor package (ie: no building is required). The

housing will be insulated and proper electric heating units will be installed inside the

housing. The housing of Block No. 1 is also sound treated.

An exhaust silencer will be incorporated in the exhaust stack and an intake silencer

will be connected to the intake flange of Block No. 1. Intake filters will be ahead of the

intake silencers.

B. Gas Generator

Rolls Royce Avon 1533

C. Brown Boveri Expander Turbine

The expander is an axial impulse type turbine.

The rotor is machined from one solid block. Because of the low heat drop, the blading

consists of a single stage impulse wheel.

The expander casing is of fabricated construction and is horizontally split through the

center line of the rotor. The inlet flange is axially located and the exhaust duct is

mounted for radial upward flow.

The impulse wheel is designed for a 100% admission

The jet engine is designed for a 100% admission.

The jet engine is interconnected with the expander by means of an expansion joint.

The expander rotor rests on two bearings, one plain journal bearing and one

combined journal and thrust bearing. The journal bearings are lined with Babbitt. The

thrust bearing is of the Mitchel type.

A flexible gear type coupling is located between the turbine and the generator.

D. Brown Boveri Turbo-Alternator

The generator is of the self-ventilated turbo-type and designed for open air cooling.

Air filters are located in suction ducts on each side of the stator casing. A warm air

circulation system protects the winding from extremely low outside temperature.

Copper is used for the rotor windings. The individual turns of the rotor windings are

insulated by bakelized glass fiber cloth and lodged one above the other in the slots

which are also lined with the same insulation material.

The stator is of fabricated construction. The core is built up of segmented lamination

secured by keys.

The winding is designed as a coil winding. The coiled elements are completely

insulated and tested before being placed in the stator.

To obtain uniform cooling, the entire stator coil is subdivided by a large number of

radial air ducts into narrow stacks of lamination. These stacks are separated one from

the other with spacers.

The exciter is located at the non-driven end of the generator.

E. Outdoor Housing

The housing consists of a foundation frame, onto which the steel framed aluminum

clad enclosure is located.

The inside of the housing will be clad with sound silencing material, which at the same

time acts as heat insulation.

F. Governing and Lubricating Oil System

The jet comes with an integral governing and lubricating oil system which includes all

necessary safety and supervisory devices.

The expander turbine and the generator have a separate lubricating oil system which

also supplies the oil for the speed and load governor as well as to the overspeed trip

mechanism.

The oil is cooled in a radiator located to the side of the main unit. This radiator is fan

cooled.

A DC battery supplies the energy to cool the unit, after a forced shut-down connected

with loss of auxiliary AC power.

G. Fuel System

The fuel storage and transfer system to a flange connection on the jet block will be

supplied and installed by the purchaser, also the oil return line back to the storage

tank will be installed by the purchaser.

Suitable devices supervise and ensure the fuel oil supply to the jet.

H. Mode of Operation

The units are equipped for automatic unattended operation. They can be controlled

either locally or through wires from a remote control panel not more than 1000 feet

away.

The generator can be used as synchronous condenser with the power turbine

windmilling. The change from power production to synchronous condenser operation

can be made from the remote control panel.

The unit can be started without external auxiliary power (“black start”).
