  • Shortened purge duration
  • Fire on the fly: Ignition immediately after purge; no deceleration or warm-up hold
  • Increased acceleration rate
  • Increased load rate
  • Reduced transient over-fire … lower maintenance factor (≤5:1)
  • AutoRecover (for DLN): Lean-lean to premix transfer at base load
  • Flexible acceleration/loading options
  • Reduced fuel consumption: ~30% of normal start

Purge Credit

Combined control software and valve hardware system to enable purge to be conducted during prior shutdown, followed by isolation of the fuel manifold with a valve system, such that purge can be skipped on start-up, enabling 15+ min. combined cycle start time savings (NFPA- 85 compliant).

Start-up Assurance

Simplified start permissives, automated system pre-start checks (various pumps, fans, valves), and HMI start-up sequence screens to reduce the number of failed starts.

Sliding Fuel Pressure Control

Reduce your gas fuel supply pressure (P2) requirements during start-up and operation to better accommodate low or fluctuating pressure, and possibly enable reduced gas compressor usage. Additionally, Sliding Fuel Pressure Control can reduce likelihood of trips or runbacks.
