501-KB5 DEC OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

INTRODUCTION

This manual provides information and instructions for the operation andmaintenance of the 501-KB5 Digital Electronic Control (DEC) Gas Turbine Engine.

501-KB5 DEC ENGINE

501 = Denotes Allison Model Number.-K = Denotes Industrial Engine.-KB5 = Denotes Industrial Engine Adapted for a Generator Set.DEC = Digital Electronic Control.

The engine can be operated on dual (gaseous or liquid) fuel, liquid fuel, orgaseous fuel, and utilizes an axial inlet housing.

The information in this manual applies only to the 501-KB5 DEC engines.

Part numbers are rarely used in the maintenance manual because designimprovements often change them. Specific components, parts, part description,and vendors can be identified by the GTP 5010-4, 501-KA, 501-KB, and 501-KB5Parts Catalog which is an illustrated parts breakdown manual used at all levelsof maintenance. When repair must be expanded beyond this manual or notcontained in this manual, contact your Distributor and/or Major Repair Centerfor assistance.

Additional manual(s) recommended by Allison Industrial Gas Turbine that may beobtained and used by the customer at an additional cost are:

1-26. ENGINE MOUNTING.

NOTE

There are various mounting systems for the 501-KB5 engine. The highshock mount system is the one most frequently used, refer to the OEMmanual for the fixed mounting system.

A. The various types of the eng” ne mounting systems are shown in Fgure1-3.

B. The engine mounting systems:

1. Maintains engine position and alignment.

2. Supports weight, inertial, shock loads, and torque loads of theengine.

3. Allows for thermal expansion.

4. Supports external air inlet and exhaust connection loads.

5. Dampens induced engine vibration.

NOTE

External loading caused by the inlet, exhaust, or other engineconnections is additive to weight and inertial loads.

c.

D.

The engine mounting system is designed to distribute the load throughthe high shock mount which is located below the diffuser and con-nected to the two diffuser flanges. The high shock mount supportsvertical loads, limited side loads and no fore-and-aft loads. Loadsare transferred to the skid structure. Supplied linkage supportingthe lower mount accommodates the axial and radial growth of theengine while maintaining the location of the engine axial centerline.

The engine bottom mounting bracket and plate are designed toaccommodate the following loads:

1. Vertical direction--20,000 pound force (88 964 N)

2. Lateral direction--3OOO pound force (13 345 N)

3. Axial direction--5O5O pound force (O N)

COOLING.

The engine requires external cooling. OEM provisions for cooling theengine room or engine enclosure and control components are necessary andmust be maintained. It is important that the cooling air have a uniformflow over the engine hot section to avoid any case warpage. Thecombustion section and parts of the turbine are air cooled by internalsecondary air (air not required for combustion).

ENGINE CONFIGURATION OPTIONS.

NOTE

As a result of engine improvements or the incorporation of variousoptions which owners/operators may select or choose to make systemmodifications which affect the engine, this manual may not reflect thesespecific engines in service.

OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS.

Allison Engine Company

501-KB5 DEC OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

.

NOTE

Refer to OEM’s Manual for a complete Operating and MaintenancePrecaution. The following are the Operating and Maintenance Precautionsrequired by Allison Gas Turbine.

A. Establish a daily thorough installation and walk around visualinspection (Refer to Section 3).

B. Maintain clean gaseous and/or liquid fuel filters. Check thepressure drops of the fuel filters regularly. A dirty fuel filtersystem with resulting high pressure losses can reduce the power ofthe engine (Refer to Sections 2 and/or 3).

NOTE

● Allison Gas Turbine highly recommends the engine oil system be placedin the sample oil analysis program (SOAP).

. If the periodic sample analysis indicates acid and viscosity numbershave increased significantly, more frequent oil sampling should beinitiated. Recommend three months or sooner.

Take an oil sample every six months or as recommended by the oilmanufacturer. Inspect the oil sample for contamination and have thesample analyzed to determine total acid number (TAN) and viscosity,(refer to Industrial Engine Bulletin 8-GT-84). Additionally, on anannual basis, or as recommended by the oil manufacturer, the oilsample should be analyzed for the quality and integrity of the oiladditive packages used in the base lubricant.

Before the engine is started, accomplish prestart check. The use ofcheck lists,such as thosestrongly encouraged by Al’

ne, clear the engine room (area) of all

Monitor starting and running operations with correctly calibratedinstrumentation and with well trained personnel.

Do not rely wholly on automatic devices to handle an emergency. Bothautomation and human manual control should be available to accomplishan operational task.

Do not stabilize at speeds below engine idle, at least 13,000 rpm.The control system is designed to prevent such operation.

When engine running is simulated, regardless of method and kind,check for any ancillary control circuitry which may be activated(fuel, lube, air, high voltage systems) but should not be operatedduring the test. Conversely, check that those devices and systems,which are required for a proper test, installation well being andhuman safety, are activated.

When increasing power, power should be increased in a steadv.conservative m;nner to the required level. Increasing engi;e turbinetemperature more rapidly and to a higher level than necessary willshorten the turbine life.

ENGINE OPERATION AilD TROUBLESHOOTING

GENERAL ENGINE OPERATION AND CHECKS.

NOTE

This section is devoted to general engine operation and to thoseprecautionary checks to be made before starting the engine and afteroperation if problems are suspected.

All things are important, but a recheck of the following is stronglyrecommended for a-successful start and run.

A. Accomplish precautionary and prestart checks (Ref. OEM’s Manual).

B. Electrical power supply--2O to 29 vdc.

NOTE

Some engines have 200 psig (1378 kPag) gaseous fuel pressure.

C. Fuel, Gaseous Pressure -- Nominal 250 psig (1725 kPag) at the enginefuel metering valve inlet for nominal pipeline quality gas (Ref. toSection 4).

D. Fuel, Liquid Pressure -- Liquid fuel supply, pressure is produced byengine driven or an off engine motor pump (Ref. to Section 4).

CAUTION

ADEQUATE STARTER PRESSURE MUST BE MAINTAINED THROUGHOUT THE STARTERSUPPORT CYCLE. A FAULTY OR DETERIORATED STARTER OR LOW PRESSURE ORENERGY STARTER POWER SUPPLY MAY NOT ALLOW PROPER ENGINE START ANDACCELERATION. ENGINE DAMAGE CAN OCCUR THROUGH CONTINUED UNSATISFACTORYSTARTING ATTEMPTS.

NOTE

The starter assembly should have adequate torque. This can bedetermined by motoring the engine (with no ignition and fuel) to themaximum starter capability. This engine motoring speed should be atleast 3600 rpm. Accomplish this check periodically and on every occasionthat satisfactory engine starts cannot be obtained or whenever a starterdeficiency is suspected.

Ouring starting, fuel and ignition are programmed by the controlsystem. Refer to the particular control system section for adescription of how this is accomplished. Overspeed, underspeed andtemperature protection is provided to the engine to initiate ashutdown. Other safety circuits connected to safety devices such aslow oil pressure or high vibration sensors can also initiate ashutdown in order to protect the engine (Ref. Tables 2-1 and 2-2).

Many safety circuits remain active during normal operation.

The gas turbine engine is essentially a heat engine using air as aworking fluid. Air-passing through the engine ii accelerated whichmeans that the kinetic energy of the air is increased. To obtainthis, the pressure energy is first increased and then heat energy isadded with the final conversion back to kinetic energy in the form ofa high velocity, high energy gas stream which is impinged on theturbine rotor assembly. Refer to the working cycle pressure volumediagram in Figure 2-1 with the following explanation:

1. Point X represents air at atmospheric pressure which is compressedalong line XY, which adds some heat.

2. From Y to Z more heat is added to the air by introducing andburning fuel at constant pressure; this increases the temperatureand volume of air. Some pressure losses occur in the combustionchamber as indicated by the drop between Y and Z.

3. From Z to X’the hot gases expand through the turbine nozzle (jeipipe or augmenter) and exhaust system to atmosphere. The kinet”(gas) energy is converted to mechanical work in the turbine andmanifested as torque at the PTO shaft output spline.

D. At 2200 engine rpm, the control system turns on the ignition andopens the fuel shutoff valve(s). The liquid fuel manifold drainvalves are closed (de-energized). Engine ignition (lightoff) occursand the engine should accelerate to running speed within one (1)minute.

CAUTION

ALTHOUGH ENGINE STARTS ARE PERMITTED AT ANY RESIDUAL TURBINETEMPERATURE, IF POSSIBLE ALLOW ENGINE TO COOL TO 200”F (93”C) PRIOR TOTHE NEXT START.

E. At 8400 engine rpm, the control system turns off ignition (if notturned off earlier by a timer) and starter systems.

NOTE

Engines having exceeding the one minute time period should beinvestigated for possible starting problem.

F. The engine should normally accelerate to operating speed within one(1) minute. The engine should be shutdown either manually or by thecontrol system if start cycle time is more than 45 seconds to reachoperating engine rpm from 2200 rpm. The control system will initiatea shutdown if engine acceleration rpm increases less than 40 rpm persecond for a 3 second time period and speed is less than 13,000 rpm.

NOTE

If the bleed valves are not open below 12,225 engine rpmwith 59°F(15”C) compressor inlet temperature (CIT), compressor surge and stal 1will occur. This can damage the engine. Note and evaluate any deviationfrom the operation described above in order to initiate propercorrective action.

G. Up to 11,000 engine rpm the compressor bleed valves are fully open tounload the compressor. At this speed they begin to move to the closedposition. At approximately 12,225 engine rpm, they are fully closed.These speeds are for 59°F (15”C) compressor inlet temperature (CIT),activation speeds vary with CIT. The reverse occurs duringdeceleration to idle or shutdown. If the preceding limits are notmet, refer to Section 11, Compressor Bleed System, for correctiveprocedures and/or refer to Troubleshooting (Ref. Table 2-3).

2-5. CONTINUOUS NORMAL OPERATION.

A. The engine will operate between 13,800 and 14,600 rpm to satisfy theload requirements of the driven equipment.

A. General.

NOTE

The DEC control system may interrogated to identify the malfunctionshutdown.

1. When a malfunction is suspected, try initially to locate the faultwith the equipment in the static state. (Engine not running,electrical power OFF, etc.)

2. Do not set up the prevailing conditions under which a malfunctionoccurred, in order to see if it will appear again, until somelogical inspection has been made that may show what went wrong.

3. If it is possible during static checks, isolate assemblies and/orcomponents and inspect them individually. Take precautions toprotect one unit from another where there is some interlink whileeither is being tested.

4. Observe and record indexing, spatial distances, and other special

other so correct

5. Certain problems can be detected (or more easily detected) onlywhen a device is being operated. If it is possible, rig the testto turn on sections of the system one at a time, checking each forcorrect operation before proceeding to the next.

6. Introduce the necessary signals (electrical, pressure, tempera-ture, rpm) keeping rigid control of them, into the suspected area,and observe the results. What to expect as a response must beknown. Use the schematics (such as those in the”501-KB5 Installa-tion Drawing, 23037500) as well as specific component informationto determine what is to be expected, then, test for it. Also,compare data with standard operating data acquired earlier.

NOTE

Remove and inspect magnetic drain plug for metal particleaccumulation. Refer Section 7.

G. Engine power has depreciated.

WARNING

IF BLEED VALVES ARE NOT CLOSING, THE BLEED VALVE CAN BE HOT AND CANBURN MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL IF TOUCHED.

1.

2.

Make sure compressor bleed valves are fully closing. A quick checkis to make sure bleed valves are not too hot to the touch.

Inspect compressor for dirty bladina. If so. clean thecompressor.” Try water, liq~id clea~er, and-ground nut shell,kerosene, and steam. Refer to Section 11, Compressor Section.Check engine performance.

H. Inspect fuel filter delta pressure. A dirty filter with a highpressure drop will restrict fuel flow.

I. Inspect burner drain valves (Liquid Fuel Only).

1. At the time of compressor cleaning, determine that burner drainvalves are operational.

2. Refer to burner drain valve section for running inspection.

J. Inspect turbine 1st stage vanes and blades for heat damage by using aborescope through several of 18 inspection ports in turbine inletcase.

2-12. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION .

A. General.NOTE

In most applications there is no way to obtain complete data necessaryto exactly calculate engine performance. However decreased compressorefficiency often due to ingested oil vapors, dirt, or other airbornecontaminates can be determined by a comparative performance method.This method requires that a complete engine baseline of data is recordedand kept whenever a new and/or a replacement engine is installed, orwhenever an engine has undergone a major on-site repair, such as turbineunit change. Future data, such as the Performance Estimate Data Record,Gas Turbine Trouble Report, etc, will use the engine baseline data forestimating a decrease in performance.

1. Use the engine baseline to estimate performance of the engine(s).

NOTE

If compressor damage such as blade erosion or vane erosion or foreignobject damage (FOD) has not occurred, the performance can normally berecovered by cleaning the compressor.

2. Cleaning or other maintenance is highly recommended by Allisonwhen performance depreciates 5 percent below the baseline.

CAUTION

ENGINE PERFORMANCE THAT DECREASE IN EXCESS OF 5 PERCENT IS TO BEAVOIDED, SINCE THE ACCOMPANYING INCREASE IN CTIT LEVEL REDUCES TURBINELIFE.

3. The compressor cleaning methods, described in Section 10, areconditions and times to accomplish cleaning recommended byAllison. The gas turbine engine owner may modify these cleanmethods to suit the particular type operating conditions.Excessive performance depreciation (5 percent below the baselcan lead to starting difficulties and turbine damage.

2-20

NOTE

the

ng

ne)

Since the calculated turbine inlet temperature (CTIT) is held constantfor the baseline and the subsequent performance checks, it is advisableto inspect the thermocouples for integrity as well as all the thermo-couple indicating circuitry prior to running a performance check.

Shaft Horsepower Decrease Due to Dirty Compressor (Ref. Figure2-5).

B. Estimate of Percent Decrease of Shaft Horsepower.

1.

2.

The basic principle is to compare the differential pressure acrossthe compressor with that measured at subsequent performancechecks.

The pressures and temperature should be taken at the same enginelocations (stations) for each performance check. Also, theinstrumentation used in recording the data should be incalibration. All instruments should have at least a fl% fullscale accuracy.

C. Procedure to Estimate Decrease of Shaft Horsepower.

NOTE

Should operating power restrictions limit the maximum CTIT at which theengine can be operated, a lower CTIT can be used as a stabilized powercheck point condition orovidina the compressor bleed valves are fullvclosed_. A graph for operating % 1700”F’(927”C) CTIT (Ref. Figure Z-i)and 1600°F (871”C) CTIT (Ref. Figure 2-4) check points are provided

1. Start the engine and stabilize at 1750”F (954”C) CTIT. For thexample the operating lines are on Figure 2-2.

s

NOTE

CIT is sometimes written as Tt2. The graphs have been scribed for “Fwith added metric equivalents.

2. Record the following data.

a. Total compressor inlet temperature (CIT).

I JAN/91 2-21

I

Allison Engine Company

501-KB5 DEC OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

NOTE

CIP is sometimes written as Pt2. Because of thepressure, best results can be obtained by measur”

nature of theng inches of water.

b. Total compressor inlet pressure (CIP).

NOTE

CDP is sometimes written as P4. Because of the high pressure,mercury (Hg) manometer and aneroid-type pressure gages are recommended.

c. Compressor discharge pressure (CDP).

NOTE

For this example the follow”

CDP= 288.5 in. HgCIP = 29.5 in. Hg

Hence: Rc =~= 288.5CIP 29.5

ng pressures have been chosen:

absolute (974 kPa)absolute (99.6 kPa)

(974) = 9.78(99.6)

NOTE

Since compressor performance (the differential pressure across thecompressor) is expressed as a ratio, the units of absolute pressurecould be psia (kPaa), etc. What matters is that for calculations boththe CIP and CDP must be in the same units.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

Determine the compressor ratio (Rc) by dividing compressordischarge pressure (CDP) by compressor inlet pressure (CIP) usingthe same absolute pressure units.

The compressor ratio of9.78 versus the CITof27°F (-2.8”C)chosen for this example is plotted as point A on Figure 2-3.

,The value of the compressor ratio (R ) from the baseline data isplotted as point o. ?For this exampe the CIT is 65°F (18.3”C)and Rc is 9.28.

Adjust the value of Rc, which is plotted at A , along aconstant operating line to the intersection of the CIT value ofthe comparative baseline which is 65eF (18.3”C) and plot thepointm . Record the (new) adjusted value of Rc, which in thisexample is 9.01 (Ref. Figure 2-2).

Compute the percent of R baseline by multiplying the adjustedvalue of RC (9.01) by 106 and dividing the product by the compara-tive basellne Rc (9.28). In this example, this is 97.09 percent.

Abrasion - An area of roughened scratches or marks, usually causedby foreign matter between moving parts or surfaces.

Blistering - Raised areas indicating separation of the surface fromthe base. Usually found on plated or painted surfaces. Associatedwith flaking or peeling. The usual cause is the imperfect bond withthe base aggravated by the presence of moisture, gas, heat, orpressure.

Brinelling - One or more indentations on bearing ring races,usually caused by high static loads or application of force duringinstallation and/or removal. Indentations are rounded and/orspherical due to the impression left by the contacting balls and/orrollers of the bearing.

Burning - Surface damage due to excessive heat, usually caused byimproper fit, defective lubrication, or overtemperature operation.

Burnishing - Mechanical smoothing of a metal surface by rubbing.Not accompanied by removal of material but sometimes by discolorationaround the outer edges of the area. Operational burnishing is notdetrimental if it covers approximately the area carrying the load,and provided there is not evidence of pileup or burning. The usualcause is the normal operation of the parts.

Burr - A sharp or roughened projection of metal, usually a resultof machine processing.

Chafing - Should be used to describe the cause for other definedsurface conditions rather than a description of the actualcondition. (same as Fretting. )

Chipping - The breaking away of pieces of material, usually causedby excessive stress concentration or careless handling.

Corrosion - Surface damage caused by chemical action.

Crack - A partial separation of material, usually caused by vibra-tion, overloading, faulty internal stresses, defective assembly, orfatigue.

Crazing - A surface coating condition which may appear incombination with grain boundary oxidation or other base metal attackconditions. In appearance it will often be evident in parches and

Dent - A small, rounded depression in a surface, usually caused bythe part being struck with a rounded object.

Erosion - The removal of metal by the high velocity gases usuallyin the combustion liners and turbine unit components.

Fatigue Failure - Progressive yielding of one or more local areasof weakness such as tool marks, sharp indentations, minute cracks, orinclusions under repeated stress. As the working stress on the pieceis repeated, cracks develop at the ends, where high concentrations ofstress exist. The cracks spread usually from the surface or near thesurface of the area. After a time, there is so little sound metalleft the normal stress of the piece is higher than the strength ofthe remaining material, and it snaps. Failure is not due tocrystallization of metal as many mechanics believe. The appearanceof a typical fatigue failure is easily explained. As failureproceeds, the severed surfaces rub and batter each other, crushingthe grains of the material and producing the dull or smoothappearance; the remaining unfractured portion preserves the normalgrain structure up to the moment of failure. The progressive natureof the failure is usually indicated by several more or lessconcentric lines, the center or focus of which discloses the originalpoint or line of failure. The usual causes are tool marks, sharpcorners, nicks, cracks, inclusions, galling, corrosion, orinsufficient tightening of studs or bolts to obtain proper stretch.

Flaking - The breaking loose of small pieces of metal or coatedsurfaces, usually caused by defective plating or excessive loading.

Fretting - (See definition for Chafing. )

Galling - A severe condition of Chafing or Fretting in which atransfer of metal from one part to another occurs, usually caused bya slight movement of mated parts having limited relative motion andunder high loads.

Gouging - A furrowing condition in which a displacement of metalhas occurred (a torn effect), usually caused by a relatively largepiece of metal or foreign material between close moving parts.

D.

The optical characteristics of borescopes are such that magnificationvaries with the distance from the borescope tip to the object. Forthis reason, damage needs to be judged carefully. Such a conditioncan be evaluated by viewing a scale held the same distance from theborescope tip as the damage.

Metal buildup and loose flakes may appear as cracks or surfacenicks. For this reason all suspected cracks or nicks should beviewed carefully, if possible from a different angle, to avoid anunnecessary engine removal.

Maintenance personnel users must be highly trained in use ofborescope.

liners with ceramic coated interiors:

NOTE

There is no limit to the loss of ceramic coating for continued engineoperation. Its purpose is to delay the time at which the combustionliner walls are exposed to the high radiated heat. Inspect thesecombustion liners using the same criteria as non-ceramic coated liners.

Combustion liner damage is often the result of a fuel nozzle problem.Combustion liner damage is accelerated by excessive temperatures as maybe caused by overtemperature operation or poor starting. Reduced fuelflow from one fuel nozzle will cause excess flow from the other fuelnozzles thus creating an overtemperature condition. Liquid carry-overinto the gaseous fuel is a primary cause of combustion liner damage.

BORESCOPE INSPECTION OF ENGINE 1ST STAGE TURBINE.

A. Remove at least one turbine inlet case inspection port plug from eachcombustion liner for inspection access. For example port positions 2at top center, 5, 8, 11, 14 and 17.

B. Inspect the engine 1st stage turbine vanes and as much of the 1ststage rotor blades as are visible with a borescope inserted in theinspection port. If any damage is found, a complete inspectionthrough all 18 inspection ports is recommended. See the Figures 3-2through 3-5 for sulfidation and cracking damage examples.

C. Inspect vanes for evidence of sulfidation. Sulfidation is a form ofhot corrosion that progresses from a rough or crusty appearance,usually greenish black in color, to a condition that separates themetal grain boundaries into layers. The 1st stage vane leading edgesare most subject to this damage. Sulfidation that severely affectsthe airfoil contour or causes a badly delaminated appearance isunacceptable (not allowed).

NOTE

The 1st stage vane cracks usually occur due to thermal shock, such asoccurs during poor (hot) starts or from fuel nozzle problems or from theeffects of water rinsing and washing when the turbine residualtemperature is more than 250”F (121”C).

D. Inspect vanes for evidence of cracks. Cracks more than 0.375 (3/8)inch (9.53 mm) long are unacceptable (not allowed). Any number ofcracks less than 0.375 (3/8) inch (9.53 mm) long are acceptable(allowed) provided they are separated such that piece breakout isunlikely. Cracked vanesshould be monitored with frequentinspections.

NOTE

For driven equipment preservation refer to it’s OEM Manual.

B.

c.

D.

E.

F.

G.

Preservation relates to protecting nonoperating engines from theeffects of corrosion inherent in the marine environment.

Combating corrosion in engine metals and alloys is primarily a fightagainst moisture. There are two general types of surface corrosion:direct chemical attack by corrosive liquids and gases on metals, andelectrochemical action in which the metal being corroded becomes apart of an electrolytic cell in the presence of moisture. Both ofthese reactions are effectively retarded by the absence of moisture.

All preservation procedures are evolved from the basic idea ofkeeping moisture away from metal surfaces, either by maintaining adry, clean environment or by displacing the air with some type ofbarrier (a protective finish or a moisture free film such as oil).

Both the environmental conditions and the effectiveness of thebarriers are factors in the different degrees of preservationoutlined here. When the stated procedures cannot be completelycarried out, common sense should prevail in keeping with the basicconcept of preservation.

Whenever practical, the engine gas path should be cleaned inaccordance with wash instructions before any preservation.

If possible, close or install closures on all engine openings whenthe engine will not be operating for eight hours. If not possible,means should be taken to prevent rain, snow and/or blowing seawaterfrom entering through air inlet and exhaust ducts.

Enciines removed and scheduled for repair or overhaul do not reauireextended preservation provided disassembly begthe date of removal from service.

3-18 JAN/91

Allison Engine Company

501-KB5 DEC OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

H. Overhauled engines do not require extended preservation provided theyare installed within 28 days from the date of completed overhaul.The exception would be if they are immediately subjected to extremelycorrosive atmospheres such as heavily salt ladened moist air. Fuelsystems are often preserved by overhaulers and manufacturers; Ref. toSection 4. Fuel System.

3-11. PRESERVATION OF INSTALLED ENGINE -- INACTIVE FOR 28 DAYS OR MORE.

A. Check that lubricating system is filled and operating.

B. Motor the engine to full cranking speed for at least one minute.

NOTE

If inactivity of more than 28 days is expected the fuel system shouldbe preserved. See Fuel System Preservation in Section 4. Fuel systemsof new or overhauled engines should already be preserved, represervationis not necessary.

C. If inactivity is to be less than 28 days, cover the inlet and exhaustducts to prevent airflow through the engine. Protect the engineexterior from moisture and salt ladened air. Cap all openings toprotect the engine from corrosion and foreign object entry.

D. If inactivity is to be more than 28 days, accomplish the precedingstep. Also add dry desiccant bags to the inlet and exhaust areas.Check or replace desiccant every 28-30 days. Motor the engine every28-30 days.

CAUTION

REMOVE DESICCANT AND ALL COVERS BEFORE CRANKING ENGINE.

E. If inactivity exceeds 90 days, inspect engine for adverse effects.If the condition is good; continue with this procedure if not, theengine should be preserved in a shipping and storage container (Ref.to Paragraph 3-12).

3-12. ENGINE SHIPPING CONTAINER. *

A. Description.

1. The engine shipping container has been designed and tested toprotect the engine from shock and vibration resulting fromshipping (by any mode) and handling to a shock limit resultingfrom a drop from height of 18 inches (457.2 mm).

2. The shipping container has two inspection ports (42, Figure 3-8),a light may be used at one port while viewing from the other.

3. The humidity indicator (41) indicating element is normally lightblue in color. At 37 to 43 percent humidity within the shippingcontainer, the light blue color will change to lavender orlavender pink, if this happens the engine should be inspected forcorrosion and change the desiccant (14 desiccant bags,MIL-D-3464).

GASEOUS FUEL SYSTEM.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION.

A. The engine gaseous fuel system meters and distributes the requiredgaseous fuel to the engine to maintain a selected engine speed undervarying loads; the major components of the gaseous fueled system areas follows:

1. Control System.2. Fuel Metering Valve (FMV).3. Fuel Nozzles (6).4. Final Filter.5. Fuel Manifold and Hoses.6. Fuel Shutoff and Vent Valves (Ref. to OEMS).

Some eng”metering

NOTE

nes have an optional 200 + 5 psig (1380 + 34.5 kPag) fuelvalve (FMV). Normal FMV~s a 250~5 ps~g (1725 *34.5 kPag).

4-11JAN/91

Allison Engine Company

501-KB5 DEC OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

B. Gaseous fuel is suppled to the fuel metering valve (FMV) through a 2(10 absolute) micron filter at 250 i 5 psig (1725 t 34.5 kPag). TheFMV is controlled by signals from the control system, regulates therequired fuel for all conditions of operation. From the FMV thegaseous fuel enters the manifold where it is distributed to the sixfuel nozzles (Ref. Figure 4-l).

C. Engine starting is initiated by engaging the starter. During theinitial phase (below 2200 engine rpm) of the starting cycle, theentire cranking task is the burden of the starter.

D. At approximately 2200 engine rpm, the control system actuates cir-cuits which open the fuel shutoff valves and energize the ignitionsystem.

E. After light-off, the engine continues to accelerate with help fromthe starter. At approximately 8400 engine rpm the control system de-energizes and locks out the starter and ignition circuits. If theengine turbine inlet temperature (TIT) or calculated turbine inlettemperature (CALTIT) exceeds 1600”F (871”C) during start, a shutdownoccurs.

F. An optional water injection system may be installed.

4-4. FUEL METERING VALVE (FMV).

4-5. Description and Or.)eration.

4-12

A. The explosion proof fuel metering valve (FMV) is engine mounted andmeters gaseous fuel to the engine in accordance with voltage inputsfrom the control system. Gaseous fuel is supplied to the FMV at aregulated pressure. The FMV is a balanced force type which ispositioned by a proportional solenoid assembly with an integral servosystem. The FMV is positioned as a function of the input commandvoltage (O to 5 volts) from the control system. A feedback outputvoltage from a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT)proportional to valve position (metering area) is provided within theFMV. The voltage is compared to the O to 5 volts input commandsignal from the control system. The current in the proportionalsolenoid is varied until the position signal equals the commandinput. If the input and/or feedback voltage to the control systemvaries more than 0.5 vdc a fuel system malfunction will occur.

B. Some specifications of the FMV is as follows:

C. An optional water injection may be installed, the fuel system isconverted to a dual entry fuel-system usingParagraph 4-94).

D. The approved fuels are listed in Table 4-1.

4-38. OPERATION.

A. During engine operation, liquid fuel enterspasses into the boost (centrifugal) elementpump. The boosted fuel flows from the fuel

dual fuel no~zles (Ref.

the fuel pump inlet andof the engine driven fuelt)umD to the LP fuel

filter then returns through internal passage: o; the HP fuel--filterto the gear elements of the fuel pump. The two gear elements of thefuel pump normally operate in series but operate in parallel forstarting. The high pressure (HP) fuel flows from the fuel pumpthrough the HP fuel filter. The pressure relief valve limits fuelpressure to 500 psi (3445 kPa) and will bypass the excess fuel backto the fuel pump inlet. The HP fuel is delivered to the fuelmetering valve (FMV). The FMV, by direction of the control system,meters the fuel required and bypasses the remainder fuel. Bypass fuelis returned to the fuel pump inlet through a passage in the HP fuelfilter. The metered fuel passes through the fuel shutoff valve to themanifold drain valve and directs the metered fuel to the fuelmanifold which distributes the fuel to the six fuel nozzles. Aschematic of the single entry liquid fuel system is shown in Figure4-6.

The fuel entering the fuel pump passes through the boost section thenflows externally through the LP fuel filter. The bypass valve opensonly in the event of boost pump failure.

The fuel returns to the dual element gear section through internalpassages in the HP fuel filter. The primary and secondary gear ele-ments normally operate in series, i.e., the output of the secondarypump is delivered to the inlet of the primary pump. Paralleloperation of the fuel pump primary and secondary elements is providedduring engine starting to ensure a sufficient volume of fuel flow.During start (between 2200 and 8400 engine rpm), the parallelingvalve in the HP fuel filter is energized to parallel operation.

The HP fuel filter is attached to the bottom of the dual element fuelpump; fuel passages within the mounting flange connect the twounits. The HP fuel filter consists of the housing, filter element,bypass valve, and two check valves. The paralleling valve mounts onthe HP fuel filter body.

The filter element is a 17 metal disk type, a 33 micron filter and isremovable for cleaning and servicing. The bypass valve permits acontinuous flow of fuel to the engine in the event the filter elementbecomes clogged. Operating pressure of the bypass valve is 120 ~10psi (828~69 kPa).

Should either gear element fail, the two check valves permit engineoperation from the other gear element.

A paralleling valve, when closed, permits the combininq of the outputof”both gear-type fuel pump elements during starts; wh;n opened, itprovides series operation for normal engine operation.

4-67. FUEL METERING VALVE (FMV).

4-68. Descri~tion and O~eration.

A. The fuel metering valve (FMV) is mounted on engine compressor caseand meters the fuel to the engine in accordance with voltage commandsfrom the electronic control system, also includes a differentialpressure regulating valve to maintain an constant pressure across theFMV by bypass fuel back to the fuel pump inlet.

B. The FMV is a flapper type valve which is positioned by a proportionalsolenoid assembly with integral servo system. The FMV is positionedas a function of the input command voltage (O to 5 volts) from thecontrol system. A feedback output voltage from a linear variabledifferential transformer (LVDT) proportional to FMV position (meter-ing area) develops a O to -5 volts position analog. The positionsignal is compared to the O to 5 volts input command signal. If theposition feedback does not compare to the input command signal fromthe control system, the current in the proportional solenoid isvaried until the position signal equals the command input.

C. The FMV inlet pressure in normal operation can range from 60 to 600psig (414 to 4140 kPag) and sometimes as high as 700 psig (4830 kPag)at shutdown. The bypass pressure normally ranges between O to 150psig (O to 1035 kPag). The pressure drop from inlet to discharge tothe engine must not exceed 70 psi (483 kPa) at an engine fuel flow of3250 pph (1474 kg ph) with a supply flow of6000 pph (2722 kg ph).The FMV can regulate the pressure drop to 45-55 psi (311-379 kPa) atan fuel flow of 200 pph (91 kg ph) and over and inlet flow range of1,000 to 10,000 pph (454-4536 kg ph).

MANIFOLD DRAIN VALVE.

Description and Operation.

A.

B.

c.

The manifold drain valve is located on bottom of the fuel manifoldmounted to a mounting bracket. It is a spring loaded solenoidoperated valve designed to drain the fuel manifold when engine isshut down (not operating) and minimizing the amount of fuel drippinginto the combustion liners at extremely low pressures, 8 to 10 psig(55.2 to 69 kPag).

During the engine starting cycle, the manifold drain valve is closedby the control system energizing the solenoid at 2200 engine rpm andis held closed by the subsequent buildup of fuel pressure, above thespring operating pressure, within the fuel manifold. The solenoid isde-energized by the control system at 8400 engine rpm. When fuelmanifold pressure drops below spring-loaded operating pressure, thespring will open the manifold drain valve, and allow drainage of thefuel from the fuel manifold.

The operating pressure is 8 to 10 psig (55.2 to 69 kPag) for thespring-loaded portion of the manifold-drain valve. -

FUEL LINES AND HOSES.

NOTE

All flexible fuel lines furnished with the engine have an inner core ofteflon, protected by one or more layers of protective material and abraided metal sheath. These hoses are very durable and not prone todeterioration, however they are susceptible to damage from sharp bends,kinks, twists and crushing. Evidence of such damage to the teflon coreis difficult to detect. If damage is suspected, the hose must bereplaced or pressure tested.

A. All fuel lines and hoses should be inspected regularly for:

1. Leaks2. Chaffing3. Wear4. Damage coupling nuts (connectors)5. Kinks6. Twisting7. Swelling8. Crushing

SINGLE ENTRY FUEL NOZZLE (FUEL NOZZLE).

Descri~tion and Operation.

A. Each fuel nozzle consists of a dual atomizing system which incor-porates a pilot (primary) injector for starting and an airblast

(main) injector for the remaining fuel. The pilot injector atomizesfuel by means of fuel pressure in the pilot spray tip orifice whichforces the fuel through small tangential holes in the metering setassembly. The fuel from the sixteen main jets in the main injectrris atomized by compressor air which passes through the air shroudswirler and blasts the fuel from the main jets to achieve a good fueland air mixing (Ref. Figure 4-18).

The fuel nozzle employs a single entry of fuel to service both, thepilot and main, atomizing systems and spring loaded piston and sleeveassembly which meters fuel flow to the main injector. On starting,fuel flows through the filter screen, along the flats of the valvebody, through the metering set’s tangential holes, and finally exitsthrough the spray tip orifice. When the fuel pressure across thefuel nozzle reaches 150 psi (1035 kPa), the spring loaded piston andsleeve assembly opens and fuel flows through inside of valve body,through the axial holes in the spacer, forward end of the nozzle tipassembly, and finally exits through the sixteen main jets.

The six (6) single entry fuel nozzles are mounted on pads around thecompressor diffuser.

The flow divider valve of the fuel system is mounted on a bracketnear the bottom of the engine compressor.

In the fuel flow path, the flow divider valve is located between thefuel shutoff valve and the fuel manifolds (pilot and main).

Fuel entering the flow divider is routed to the pilot and main fuelmanifold. The fuel flows directly into the pilot fuel manifold andthen to the pilot orifices of the fuel nozzles. When the fuelpressure reaches 150 psig (1035 kPag) a metering valve in the flowdivider valve starts to open, allowing fuel to flow into main fuelmanifold and then to main orifices of the fuel nozzles.

The flow divider valve requires flow bench calibration, thereforeoperator maintenance is limited to replacement.

When reDair or calibration is reauired. the six fuel nozzles and flowdivider’ valve should be calibrated and’replaced as a set.

The most common problem with the flow divider valve is contaminationof the internal metering valve. This usually results from stickingcausing low or no main manifold fuel flow and aborted, stagnated, orslow starts.

Manifold Drain Valves.

Description and Operation.

A. The fuel system has two manifold drain valves (main and pilot), onefor each manifold. They are mounted on a bracket near the bottom ofthe compressor section. Their purpose is to drain any fuel remainingin the fuel nozzles or manifolds when the engine is shutdown. Themanifold drain valves are energized open simultaneously with theclosing of the fuel shutoff valve.

B. The pilot manifold drain valve inlet tees into the pilot fuelmanifold. The main manifold drain valve connects to the main fuelmanifold. Both manifold drain valve outlets are connected to a draintube which has a single outlet fitting. The drain tube outlet shouldbe connected to a drain collector tank. The manifold drain valves arespring-loaded to the closed position and solenoid actuated to open bycommand of the control system.

C. The control system opens the manifold drain valves immediately uponany shutdown signal. Combustion section pressure then forces fuelremaining in the fuel nozzles and manifolds to the drain tank throughthe manifold drain valves. During starts, the manifold drain valvesare held open until engine 2200 rpm. After shutdown, the manifolddrain valves are held open by a timer for 30 seconds.

4-78

D. It is essential that the fuel manifold drains have little or no backpressure. For this reason, the drain line must not have kinks orother restrictions. The fluid in the drain tank(s) must not create ahead pressure causing a back pressure on the drain system.

A. During engine operation, fuel entersinto the boost (centrifugal) elementThe boosted fuel flows from the fuelreturns throuqh internal Passa9es of

the fuel pump inlet and passesof the engine driven fuel pump.pump to the LP fuel filter thenthe HP fuel filter to the gear

elements of t~e fuel pump. The two gear elements of the fuel pumpnormally operate in series but operate in parallel for starting. Thehigh pressure (HP) fuel flows from the fuel pump through the HP fuelfilter. The pressure relief valve limits fuel pressure to 500 psi(3445 kPa) and will bypass the excess fuel back to the fuel pumpinlet. The HP fuel is delivered to the fuel metering valve. Thefuel metering valve, by direction of the control system, meters thefuel required and bypasses the remaining fuel. Bypass fuel isreturned to the fuel pump inlet through a passage in the HP fuelfilter. The metered fuel passes through the fuel shutoff valve to theflow divider valve, which directs the meter fuel to the pilot and/ormain fuel manifolds which distributes the fuel to the six fuelnozzles. A schematic of the fuel system is shown in Figure 4-23.

B. The engine is shutdown by closing the fuel shutoff valve. Fuelremaining in the fuel nozzles, pilot and main manifolds, andcombustion section is automatically drained from the engine by theopening of the manifold drain valves and burner drain valves.

MANIFOLD DRAIN VALVES.

Descri~tion and O~eration.

A. The fuel system has two manifold drain valves (main and pilot), onefor each manifold. They are mounted off the engine. Their purpose isto drain any fuel remaining in the fuel nozzles or manifolds when theengine is shutdown. The manifold drain valves are energized opensimultaneously with the closing of the fuel shutoff valve.

B, The pilot manifold drain valve inlet tees into the pilot fuelmanifold. The main manifold drain valve connects to the main fuelmanifold. Both manifold drain valve outlets are connected to a draintube which has a single outlet fitting. The drain tube outlet shouldbe connected to a drain collector tank. The manifold drain valves arespring-loaded to the closed position and solenoid actuated to open bycommand of the control system.

C. The control system opens the manifold drain valves immediately uponany shutdown signal. Combustion section pressure then forces fuelremaining in the fuel nozzles and manifolds to the drain tank throughthe manifold drain valves. During starts, the manifold drain valvesare held open until 2200 engine rpm. After shutdown, the manifolddrain valves are held open by a timer for 30 seconds, unless anemergency restart is required. -

NOTE

It is essential that the fuel manifold drains have little or no backpressure. For this reason, the drain line must not have kinks or otherrestrictions.pressure caus”

The fluid in the drain tank(s) must not create a headng a back pressure on the drain system.

LIQUID FUEL METERING VALVE (FMV).

Descrir)tion and Operation.

A. The liquid fuel metering valve (FMV) is located on the RAFT andmeters the liquid fuel to the engine in accordance with voltagecommands from the control system, also includes a differentialpressure regulator to maintain a constant pressure across the FMV bybypassing the excess fuel back to the liquid fuel pump inlet, whileoperating on liquid fuel.

B. The FMV is a flapper type valve which is positioned by a proportionalsolenoid assembly with integral servo system. The FMV is positionedas a function of the input command voltage (O to 5 volts) from thecontrol system. A feedback output voltage from a linear variable dif-ferential transformer (LVDT) proportional to FMV position (meteringarea) develops a O to -5 volts position analog. The position signalis compared to the O to 5 volts input command signal. If theposition feedback does not compare to the input command signal fromthe control system, the current in the proportional solenoid isvaried until the position signal equals the command input. If theposition and/or feedback signal varies more than 0.5 vdc from eachother, a fuel system malfunction will occur.

Removal.CAUTION

NO FIELD ADJUSTMENTS TO THE FMV IS ALLOWED. DAMAGE MAY OCCUR FROM AMALFUNCTION AND/ORMISADJUSTED FMV.

NOTE

Make sure fuel and electrical systems are OFF and remain OFF untilinstallation is completed. -

Have container to catch fuel leakage.

Cap all hoses and ports to prevent contamination.

MANIFOLD DRAIN VALVES (PILOT AND MAIN).

Description and Ot)eration.

A.

B.

c

The liquid fuel system has two manifold drain valves (a main and apilot), one for each fuel manifold. They are mounted on a bracketnear the bottom of the compressor section. Their purpose is to drainany liquid fuel remaining in the fuel nozzles or manifolds when theengine is shutdown. The manifold drain valves are energized opensimultaneously with the closing of the fuel shutoff valve.

The pilot manifold drain valve inlet tees into the pilot fuelmanifold. The main manifold drain valve tees into the main fuelmanifold. Both manifold drain valve outlets are connected to acrossover drain tube which has a single outlet fitting. The draintube outlet should be connected to a drain collector tank. Themanifold drain valves are spring-loaded to the closed position andelectrical solenoid actuated to open by command of the controlsystem.

The control system opens the manifold drain valves immediately uponany shutdown signal. Combustion section pressure then forces fuelremaining in the fuel nozzles and manifolds to the drain tank throughthe manifold drain valves. During starts, the manifold drain valvesare held open until 2200 engine rpm. After shutdown, the manifold

drain valves are held open by a timer for 30 seconds.

CAUTION

THE FLUID IN THE DRAIN TANK(S) MUST NOT CREATE A HEAD PRESSURE CAUSINGA BACK PRESSURE ON THE DRAIN SYSTEM. DAMAGE MAY OCCUR.

D. It is essential that the fuel manifold drains have little or no backpressure. For this reason, the drain line must not have kinks orother restrictions.

5-2

Turbine outlet temperature (TOT) is one of the primary controllingparameters of the engine and is obtained from twelve (12) thermo-couples (T/C’s) located in the turbine exhaust gas path. The life ofthe turbine assembly depends upon keeping it within the designedtemperature specifications. A well maintained TOT measurement systemis necessary for this.

The TOT system is used with the control system to measure the turbineexhaust gas stream temperature. The TOT system includes a standardwiring harness to provide an average output signal to the controlsystem which schedules the fuel flow and protect the engine fromexcessive turbine temperature.

An optional individual read out harness may be installed. The outeraverage harness is removed and an outer individual read out harnesswith a pigtail assembly is installed to provide individual T/C tem-perature readings. If individual read out is required the pigtailassembly is removed and stowed. For a complete description and main-tenance of the individual read out system, refer to the OEM’s Manual.

Twelve (12) dual element T/C’s (Figure 5-1) are mounted in anirregular, circular pattern at the rear of the turbine. Dual elementmeans there are two independent thermocouple junctions within eachthermocouple probe. One element of each of the 12 T/C’s is connectedin parallel, by the inner averaging thermocouple harness to aterminal block. The millivoltage generated by these T/C’s provides asignal that is proportional to the average temperature sensed at the12 T/C locations. This signal is provided to the control system viawiring where it is processed for engine control and operatormonitoring,

The second junction of each T/C connected by a separate harness isused to provide a redundant signal to the control system.

A thermocouple harness terminal block (Figure 5-2) is located on abracket at the diffuser rear flange. The terminal block has two pairsof input terminals and two pairs of output terminals. The internalconnection wiring is shown in Figure 5-3. The inner averagingthermocouple harness connects to two inr)ut terminals and the outeraveraging” harness to the other pair.

B. Troubleshooting.

NOTE

Theoretically, all but one T/C could open and the engine could operate.However, all 12 are required for accurate sensing. Since the T/C’s arein one of the hottest locations generally are the first ones that fail,the actual TOT would be higher than indicated. Therefore, it isimportant to periodically check the T/C’s. See Section “3, EngineInspection and Maintenance Tasks, Paragraph 3-2.

NOTE

The DEC system design is to include the parameter sensors for thefollowing engine control:

Turbine Out Temperature (TOT).Engine Speed.Compressor Inlet Temperature (CIT).Gaseous Fuel Supply Pressure, If Required.

a.

b.

c.

d.

Thermocouple (T/C): Twelve (12) T/C’s are used to sense theTOT. Each T/C provides two independent input signals thatharnessed together to provide an average temperature input ofthe 12 T/C’s. Both average input signals are sent to the DCA.

Magnetic Speed Sensors (Pickups): Two (2) magnetic speedpickups are used to sense engine speed. The DCA receive theinputs from both magnetic speed pickups for engine speedsensing.

Compressor Inlet Temperature (CIT) Sensor: A dual element typesensor is installed on the lower left side of air inlet housingto provide two inputs to the DCA for CIT.

Gaseous Fuel Supply Sensor: A 10 psig (69 kPag), normallyclosed, pressure” switch is used to”de~ect and insure that-gaseous fuel supply line is not charged prior to gaseous fuelturn ON, The DCA will inhibit a start using gaseous fuel ifthe contacts are open which indicates a gaseous fuel pressureof 10 psig (69 kPag) or higher, indicating a malfunction of thegaseous fuel shutoff valve(s) and/or vent valve. This pressureswitch is used only on dual fuel or gaseous fuel systems. I

2. Load Sensing.

a.

b.

co

The DEC system accepts analog signals sensing the power or KWof a generator set (GENSET) and power unbalance from a loadshare sensor.

The load analog signal is to be accommodated as an input to theDCA is to be a O to 5 vdc signal to be generated by a GENSETload sensor. This input would be used in applications using KWcontrol or limiting. KW sensing is not required to have droopgoverning.

The load share bus signal is analog -0.8 to +0.8 vdc input tobe generated by a sensor, This input would be used inapplications where two (2) or more GENSETS are operated inparallel in an electrical system.

3. Set Point Inputs.

NOTE

The DEC system is to be designed to operate with the following analogO to +5 vdc inputs for use by the operator in controlling the enginepower. The analog inputs are:

Speed Set Point.Calculated Turbine Inlet Temperature (CALTIT) Set Point.KW Set Point.Process Input.

a. The speed set point input will enable the governing setting tobe varied over the range permitted for the engine. Zero (0)vdc (or no input) shall select the minimum (rein) speed setpoint. This signal is derived from an external potentiometer(POT) or equivalent.

b. The CALTIT set point input will enable varying the temperaturelimiter setting for engine control when operating on a power orfor reducing the maximum continuous limiting set point. Thisinput will allow setting the temperature. Zero (0) vdc (or noinput) shall select the maximum (max) temperature set point(engine rating). This signal is derived from a POT orequivalent.

c. The KW set point will enable settinq a KW or Dower limiter andcontrol level for applications usin~ a load sensor. Zerovdc (or no input) shall select the max KW or power set poThis signal is derived from a POT.

The dumb terminals may be either the monitor keyboard type or ahand held configuration.

The PC’s must be IBM software compatible that has beendeveloped for this engine.

With the dumb terminal setup, it is possible to perform the DECsystem control adjustments and read the DCA fault log. Thefault log data will be displayed in an alpha numeric format.The control adjustment procedure is affected by the fact thatprompting is not available in this mode, requiring closereference to the definitive documents when performing thisprocess.

With the PC setup, it is also possible to perform the controladjustment and read the fault log, it is also possible toperform other system monitoring functions while the engine isoperating. Some of these are:

(1) Display engine control parameters on the PC monitor.

(2) Display engine control modes on the PC monitor.

(3) Continuously monitoring engine control parameters, withstorage on magnetic media (floppy disk) for later analysis.

The performance of the DEC system control ad.iustments with PCequipment is enhanced by the-continuous display of the engineparameters and the control adjustments. It is also possible torecord these settings on disk or to input the setting from amaster disk.

12. Mode Selections.

a. Mode selections are provided for checkout or setup of the DECsystem. These are to alter flags in the software to selectspecific modes from the options provided for the engine.

b. Similar to the control adjustments (Step 8,), the modeselections will require interfacing the DCA via the RS232 portwith a PC or dumb terminals.

c. The DCA will provide for six (6) selections:

1) Liquid Fuel Only Mode.2) Gaseous Fuel Only Mode.3) Bench Test Mode.4) Static Checkout Mode.5) Failed Sensor Fault Mode.6) Speed Governor Setpoint Mode.

NOTE

The DCA may have been customized for your particular site. The OEMshould be consulted for the customized details and other features thatmay be unique to your site.

CAUTIONS.NOTE

The following cautions must be observed.

FRONT HANDLES. The front mounted handles on the card frame were notdesigned for carrying the DCA. They are intended for extending the DCAfrom a rack which uses slide rail mounting.

REMOVING CONNECTORS AND CABLES. It is important that the engine beoperated with each cable installed in its proper place. The cableconnectors and the corresponding jacks should be labelled. Connectorsand modules should not be”remov;d-or installed with power applmodules, as damage may occur to the electronics.

NOTE

ed to the

An exception is made for the RS232 V24 connector on the DCA CPU moduleand the J1 connector on the back of the DCA. If necessary, the V24connector may be removed or installed with power applied. However,maximum protection from damage to either the DCA or the terminalcomputer is assured by making the cabling changes with all power OFF.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD). All electronic components are sensitiveto static electricity and some are more sensitive then others. Damagemay appear immediately or later as degraded performance or failure. Youshould observe the following precautions to minimize or prevent damagefrom electrostatic discharge (ESD).

A.

B.

c.

D.

E.

Do not remove modules from the DCA unless absolutely necessary.

If module removal is required, do not touch any part of the modulecircuit board, theexcept the frame. Avoid touching the printed

connectors, and the components.

Place a conductive shorting strip on the modu”if module is to be stored or shipped.

Removed module should be placed in antistatic

B.

c.

D.

E.

F.

The DCA is mounted in a nineteen (19) inch rack and consists of six(6) individual modules which slide into the card frame. Five (5)unused module slots exist on the DCA for the 501-KB5 engine.

The front and rear views are shown in Figures 6-3 and 6-4. It isimportant to note that each module has one or more cable connectorsinstalled on the front. These cables then enter the lower front ofthe chassis and are internally connected to the electrical connectorson the back of the DCA.

The Power ON and OFF switch is found on the front of the DCA, on thelower right of the front panel. This is a protective circuitbreaker, as well as the control power ON and OFF switch. The nearbyred lamp (Input Supply) is not affected by the operation of thisswitch. This lamp indicates that 24 volts dc power is provided tothe DCA from the external power source.

When the Power switch is in the ON position the electrical power isprovided to the DCA power supply regulation unit located at the backof the DCA. There are two additional power supply lamps on the DCAthat are found on this power supply regulation unit and an additionalcircuit breaker. The red 24V Input lamp and the yellow POWER SUPPLYON lamp will be ON (illuminated) when the front panel power switch isON. The yellow lamp will not be ON (illuminated) if the power supplycircuit breaker trips open.

There is one potentiometer (POT) on the lower left of the card framethat is marked Trim A, This adjustment POT is not used in thisapplication.

All lamps (LEDs) on the front of each module are red in color.Although this manual notes that some lamps will not be used, it isnot unusual to observe a brief illumination of any lamp. Thisflickering may occur due to switching transients as the DCA is firstpowered.

The front panel has two lamps and two connector jacks. The ON LINElamp will be continuously ON (illuminated) when the power is ON andthe CPU module is functioning properly. The other lamp, POWER FAIL,will illuminate when the power supply voltages are out of tolerance.POWER FAIL is not normally ON (illuminated). The CPU module is shownin Figure 6-5.

The two d connectors (jacks) are marked as the FREQUENCY INPUTS andthe V24. Cable connectors are attached to these jacks and are routedthrough the lower part of the DCA chassis. This routinq is common toall cables on the DCA modules.

The V24 input is sometimes referred to as the RS232 input or theserial communications line. Connection to a terminal (CRT) can bemade at the J-1 connector at the rear of the chassis of the DCA ordirectly to the V24 jack on the front of the module.

CAUTION

NOT INSTALL OR REMOVE CONNECTORS WITH THE FRONT MOUNTED DCA POWERSWITCH IN THE ON POSITION. DAMAGE MAY RESULT TO THE POWERED MODULE.EXCEPTION IS MADE FOR THE RS232 CONNECTOR ON THE DCA CPU MODULE. THEV24 OR J-1 CONNECTORS MAY BE REMOVED OR INSTALLED WITH POWER APPLIED.

Isochronous (ISOL) position (non-energized). If the generator is tonever be used in the Droop Mode, it is possible that the GovernorSelection Switch will not be installed (Refer to OEM Manual).

Droop Speed Governing. Droop mode is used when the generator setoutput is connected to an infinite (utility) bus. The GoverningSelection Switch must be in the Droop position (energized).

Process Control. Process Control mode allows the operator to controlspecial plant functions, interfacing with the engine for directcontrol of the fuel flow. The process signal may be derived from aconsole mounted potentiometer (POT) or a Process Governor. If theDCA is controlling the engine as a result of the Process Input, thenthe Process Status Lamp (Bl) on the 16-Way Relay Output will be ON(illuminated). The mode may not be used in all applications.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL.

1. This mode allows the DCA or limiting of the Calculated turbineinlet temperature (CALTIT). It may be used when operating agenerator on an infinite utility bus or simply to reduce themaximum continuous temperature limit.

2. The DCA set point is derived from a console mounted POT orequivalent. This mode may be used in all applications.

KW CONTROL. This mode allows the use of a kilowatt (KW) load sensorto limit or control the engine fuel flow. The desired load may berequested with a console mounted POT. This mode may not be used inall applications.

Dual Fuel Transfer. When a dual fuel system is used, the engine canbe started with either gaseous or liquid fuel. Transitions from onefuel source to the other is possible while the engine is running.Simply throw the fuel selector switch to the desired position (gas-eous or liquid) and the DCA will perform the transition automatically.

These warnings hay be’ helpful in noting a problem which could becorrected before an autoshutdown occurs.

There is no status LED provided on the DCA that indicates a Warning.

When an abnormal operation is detected by the DCA the Warning relay(in the Interface Unit) will be energized. This is provided foroperator implementation for illuminating a remote lamp or operating awarning device. The Fault Log can be interrogated for determinationof the specific fault, even after the Warning indication is ended.

ADJUSTMENTS WITH A HAND HELD UNIT. A portable hand held unit can alsobe used to perform control adjustments. The procedure to be followed isidentical to that described above for a dumb terminal unit.

ADJUSTMENTS WITH A COMPUTER. Allison provides software, on a 5.25(5 1/4) inch (133.35 mm) flexible disk, that simplifies the DCA controladjustment procedure and is user friendly. This software, referred toas DCOMMS, is designed to be used in an IBM compatible personalcomputer. The explanation of the procedure to be used with the DCOMMSsoftware is contained in Appendix A specifically devoted to describingand explaining the use of DCOMMS.

MAINTENANCE OF DCA AND MODULES.

A.

B.

This manual was not intended to serve as an overhaul service manual,however some basic tips on troubleshooting are included. In general,if a module has no lamps (LEDs) which illuminate, it may indicate afailure. This is particularly true of the ON LINE lamps. The ONLINE lamps on all modules will illuminate continuously, with theexception of the blinking lamps on the 16 Way Relay Output and the4 Way D to A Output modules. The blinking ON LINE lamps may flash soquickly that they appear to flicker dimly.

If the Input Supply lamp on the front of the chassis does notilluminate, verify that 24 vdc is present on the 24 vdc Monitor jackson the rear of the card frame. If no voltage is present at thejacks, then the supply to the DCA should be checked. If voltage ispresent at the jacks, the DCA has a problem and service personnelshould be contacted.

CAUTION

WHEN REMOVING THE LARGE INPUT CONNECTOR ON THE INBE CAREFUL TO PREVENT THE BREAKING OF THE PLASTICTHE TOP AND BOITOMOF THE JACK.

ERFACE UNIT MODULE,SECURING LATCHES AT

If a module is suspected of failure. it mav be. replaced afterremoving power to the modules. Turn off the front power switch andthe remove the connector(s) on the front of the module. Loosen thelarger straight slot screws on the front and remove the modulecarefully. Remove the card edge shorting strips from the replacementand install the strips on the suspect module. Carefully install thereplacement module in the card frame. Place the suspect module inthe replacement’s packing, preferably an anti-static protective bag.Tighten the loosened screws, reconnect the module connector(s), andapply power to the modules.

If this does not remedy problem, it will be necessary to contactservice personnel.

SYS

A. The engine incorporates a low-pressure,

EM

ndependent, dry sump oilsystem-(Ref. Figures 7-1 and 7:2) which includes:

1. Main pressure and scavenge oil pump assembly (Main Oil Pump)a pressure regulating valve.

2. An external scavenge pump.

3. An oil filter assembly with a filter bypass valve.

4. Check valve.

5. Scavenge pressure relief valve.

6. Magnetic chip detector (Indicating type).

7. Magnetic drain plug.

8. Turbine scavenge pump.

B.-The main oil pump is located on the center of the front face ofaccessory drive gearbox cover. Filtered oil is supplied to theoil pump inlet from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) o

with

themain1

tank’ and filter equipment, ;S pumped through a metal element-type oilfilter assembly and check valve, through internal drilled and coredpassages, and external lines to those parts of the engine whichrequire lubrication. A pressure regulating valve located in the mainoil pump regulates the oil pressure to 50-60 psig (345-414 kPag). Acheck valve is provided in the system for installation when oilsupply tank is above the main oil pump, this will prevent oil fromleaking into the engine when the engine is not operating. Forinstallation, when oil supply tank is below the main oil pump,extreme care must be taken that the main oil pump does not loose it’sprime during downtime. Oil must not be supplied to the engine at apressure more than 5 psig (34.5 kPag) when the engine is notoperating. When engine is operating the engine oil pressure shouldbe 50-60 psig (345-414 kPag).

C. Scavenge oil is returned from the accessory gearbox sump to the oiltank by the main scavenge pump of the main oil pump. Scavenge oil isreturned to accessory drive gearbox sump from turbine rear sump bythe turbine scavenge pump. Scavenge oil is returned to the main sca-venge pump of the main oil pump from the compressor rear sump and theturbine front sump by the external scavenge pump. Scavenge oil iscarried by internal drilled passages and external lines to a common

connection at the main oil pump. Scavenge oil pressure above 45 psig(310.5 kPag) is relieved by the scavenge relief valve back to theaccessory drive gearbox sump. Care must be used to ensure that theengine scavenge oil back pressure does not exceed 30 psig (207 kPag)during engine operation.

An indicating type magnetic chip detector is provided on the scavengeside of the main oil pump, to give a warning signal to the operator,refer to original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) Manual for details.

Drilled passages in the turbine coupling shaft and turbine fourth-stage wheel provide a means of venting the combustion inner casingdown the turbine shaft and into the exhaust stream. Air which leakspast the compressor rear bearing air seal is vented through the twoside struts of the compressor diffuser. The air inlet housing cavityand the interior of the accessory drive housing is vented through anexternal line attached to the breather on top of the air inlethousing.

A magnetic drain plug is located on the bottom of the accessorygearbox housing to provide for draining and inspection for metalcontamination.

7-2. LUBRICATING OILS.

A. The engine and engine driven components are sometimes supplied bydifferent oil systems. Other times they are suDDlied bv a common oilsystem. Oils m~st conform to one of th; following specifications forthe engine.

D. Oil supplied to the engine must be prefiltered through a full flowfilter capable of removing 100 percent of particles 3 micron orlarger.

E. The maximum oil temperature of inlet oil to the engine is 160°F(71”C). The minimum oil inlet temperature is -40°F (-40”C) for theengine.

F. The minimum oil supply to the engine main oil pump inlet is 4.5 gpm(17.1 Lpm) at a pressure of O-5 psig (O-34.5 kPag).

CAUTION

AIR IN THE OIL CAN RESULT IN INADEQUATE LUBRICATION AND SHORTENED ENGINELIFE DUE TO ABNORMAL BEARING WEAR.

G. Oil provided by the engine main oil pump satisfies engine bearing,gear, shaft, and other engine lubrication requirements. The lube oildelivered to the engine must be free of entrained air. Lube oillines should be bled prior to the initial engine start at the time ofinstallation.

CAUTION

PRELUBE OF THE ENGINE PRIOR TO START OR POSTLUBE AFTER COASTDOWN IS NOTREQUIRED AND MUST NOT BE ATTEMPTED. THE LUBE OIL SYSTEM IN THE ENGINEIS A DRY SUMP SYSTEM AND REQUIRES THAT THE ENGINE BE ROTATING TO PROVIDEPROPER SCAVENGING. ENGINE OIL INLET PRESSURE MUST BE LESS THAN 5 PSIG(34.5 KPAG) WHENEVER THE ENGINE IS NOT ROTATING.

7-1o

As the engine ages, normal wear may cause the oil loss to increase;this can be corrected at overhaul. Engine oil consumption throughnormal loss, vaporizing, seeping, and expelling mostly out theexhaust can increase to 0.5 gallon (1.9 liters) per 24 hours ofoperation. The best way to measure this kind of oil loss is at theoil tank which supplies the oil system.

For leaks of the drip or seep type, some of which can exist when theengine is not operating, refer to Table 7-2, Engine Oil Leaks. Dripleaks can be measured by catching the oil in a container or bymeasuring the oil loss at the oil tank which supplies the oilsystem. To help locate oil leaks of the seeping type, the areashould be cleaned and powder (powdered Bon Ami or similar) placedaround the suspected oil leak area and the engine operated for fiveminutes. When the oil leak is found refer to Table 7-2.

A.

B.

c.

D.

If

The components forming the oil system must be thoroughly cleanedwhenever the oil system becomes contaminated, when failure occurs,excessive carbon is generated; or other foreign particles areinadvertently introduced.

The extent of cleanup depends on the magnitude of the failure or itemcausing the contamination. In the event the contamination causesclogging and bypassing of the oil filters, consideration should begiven to disassemble and clean the entire unit to avoid blocking oiljets and passages within the engine or mating extension shafts andgearbox if this is applicable because their oil systems are integral.

Perform continuity and visual check of engine magnetic drain plug anda visual inspection of the indicating chip detector plug. If thereis evidence of a failure and cause is not obvious, make visual checkof the scavenge pump filter element to help trace source ofcontamination.

When a filter or other cause of contamination is identified, allareas downstream of the contamination source should be checked forthe effects of the contamination. The entire oil system will have tobe inspected and cleaned. Also the external filter element will haveto be replaced and/or cleaned.

NOTE

the external oil system filter failed in such a way that thecontaminant has passed through, then the entire exter~al oil system willrequire cleaning. This could include such things as the heat exchanger,oil cooler, valves, fittings, hoses, piping and oil tank. (Ref. OEM’s

MAIN PRESSURE AND SCAVENGE OIL PUMP (MAIN OIL PUMP).

Description and O~eration.

A. The main oil pump assembly incorporates two gear type oil pumps (apressure and a scavenge), a pressure regulating valve, and anindicating type magnetic chip detector. Oil is supplied to thepressure pump element from the OEM furnished oil supply. Scavengeoil, from the accessory drive gearbox, is returned to the oil tanktank by the scavenge pump elements of the main oil pump. Theassembly is mounted in the center of the front face of the accessorydrive gearbox.

B. The pressure regulating valve provides adjustment of engine oilpressure. It is located on the front of the main oil pump assembly.

C. The indicating-type magnetic chip detector is located in the scavengeoil outlet adapter. Ferrous metal particles present in the scavenge

- oil will adhere to the magnetic chip detector. If these metalparticles build up sufficiently to bridge the gap of the detector,the resultant circuit may be used for a warning signal or an engineshutdown (Ref. OEM’s Manual for details).

Removal.

A. Disconnect electrical connector from the magnetic chip detector.

The power takeoff (PTO) assembly provides the means of transmittingthe torque and measuring the speed produced by the engine. A taperedcoupling and shaft coupling is used to connect PTO assembly to thedriven equipment.

The PTO assembly consists of PTO shaft assembly, adapter housing,midbearing assembly, PTO housing, oil nozzle, and speed sensor pickup(Ref. Figure 8-1 and 8-2).

The PTO shaft assembly transmits the torque from the engine to thedriven equipment (normally a gearbox). It consists of solid steelshaft and a shaft adapter which are balanced as a set.

The solid steel shaft is splined, at the rear end, to the compressorextension shaft and bolted to the shaft adapter at the forward end.Also on the forward flange, forty (40) equallys paced machinedexciter teeth to provide for the speed sensing. The shaft couplingis spline internal to PTO shaft adapter and tapered coupling, whichare retained by retaining rings.

The midbearing assembly supports the PTO shaft assembly and preventthe PTO shaft assembly from whipping. The midbearing is retained inplace by internal grooves in the PTO housing, bearing lock tube, tubelocating key, and retaining rings.

The PTO housing encloses the PTO shaft and provides mounting ofadapter housing, speed sensor pickup, and the complete PTO assemb”to the engine.

COMPRESSOR SECTION

1o-1. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION .

A. The compressor is a single-entry, fourteen-stage, axial-flow type,with bleed ports at the 5th and 10th stages. A stage consists of arotor wheel with blades and the stator vane assembly in front of it.

B. The compressor receives the inlet air, compresses it to about 9.5 to1 and delivers it through the diffuser to the combustion section.

C. The compressor is a major structural member of the engine.

D. The air inlet housing assembly provides mounting for the accessorydrive gearbox and engine breather vent.

E. The compressor casing supports the bleed valves, the engine No. 2speed pickup, and a number of bracket-mounted components.

F. The condition and efficiency of the compressor is critical to powerperformance because the air is also used for combustion and cooling.

G. Air is the major portion of the mass accelerated through the turbine.Any reduction of air mass will greatly reduce the power developed bythe engine for a given turbine temperature. Nominally, at about14,000 engine rpm, the compressor ingests about 33 lb. (15kg) of airper second.

H. The compressor, also called the cold section, major components are:

1. Air inlet housing assembly.2. Casing assembly.3. Rotor assembly.4. Diffuser assembly.

ROTOR ASSEMBLY.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION.

The rotor assembly is made of fourteen bladed wheels stacked togetherand held by a single tie bolt through the center. The wheels areprogressively larger in diameter with progressively shorter bladesfrom front (lst stage) to rear (14th stage). A stub shaft on the 1ststage wheel supports the front of the rotor by a roller bearing inthe air inlet housing. A stub shaft on the 14th stage wheel supportsthe rear of the rotor by a ball (thrust) bearing in the diffuserassembly. The rotor assembly is driven by the engine turbine shaftthrough splines on the 14th stage wheel stub shaft.

The purpose of the rotor assembly is to use the energy provided by theengine turbine to compress the air. It also transmits power from theturbine to the compressor extension shaft in the air inlet housing todrive the accessory drive gearboxe and power takeoff assembly.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION.

NOTE

Refer to Internal Compressor Inspection, Paragraph 10-17, forinspection of rotor blades and stator vanes.

10-14. DIFFUSER ASSEMBLY.

10-15. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION.

A. The diffuser assembly is a welded steel fabrication that serves asthe primary mounting and support of the engine. It is securedbetween the rear of the compressor casing assembly and the front ofthe outer combustion case. The No. 3 main bearing (ball type), whichreacts all engine rotor thrust loads, is supported by the diffuserassembly. The diffuser assembly also provides mounting for the sixfuel nozzles.

B. The primary purpose of the diffuser assembly is to direct the airfrom the compressor rotor to the combustion section while reducingthe velocity of the air.

INTERNAL COMPRESSOR INSPECTION.

The condition of the compressor flow path is a major factor of enginehealth. Any condition that reduces compressor efficiency will causea reduction of engine performance. Conditions that reduce compressorefficiency include:

1. Contamination.2. Corrosion.3. Mechanical damage.4. Erosion.5. Leakage.6. Inlet flow restrictions (partial blockage).7. External inlet air ducting design and pressure drop.8. Exhaust system backpressure.

Inspections and maintenance should be performed as necessary todetect and correct or minimize these conditions.

WARNING

KEEP HANDS OUT OF THE ENGINE. DO NOT TURN THE ENGINE ROTOR BY THEBLADES. DISABLE STARTER CIRCUITS DURING INSPECTION. SEVERE INJURY MAYOCCUR.

C. Inspection access to an installed engine is limited. The primaryinspection access is the engine air inlet. A thorough inspection ofthe air inlet guide vane assembly and the 1st stage rotor blades canbe done. Portions of the 1st stage stator vanes, 2nd stage rotorblades and 2nd stage stator vanes can be seen.

D. Local inspection of 4th stage vane trailing edges, 5th stage vaneleading edges, and complete inspection of the 5th stage rotor bladesis accomplished by removing the bleed valve at one or more of the 5thstage bleed adapters. Similarly, the 9th, and 10th stages areinspected through one or more of the 10th stage bleed valve ports.Usually, inspection through these bleed valve ports is more revealingof contamination, FOD, erosion, and corrosion than an inletinspection, because the condition is more concentrated in thesesmaller areas.

NOTE

The engine rotor may be turned manually for inspection using an adapterto turn the accessary drive gearbox or the driven equipment

E. Inspect for contamination: dirt, scale, oil, and residues. To cleanthe compressor, refer to compressor cleaning, Paragraph 10-18.

COMPRESSOR CLEANING.

A compressor cleaning program is necessary to maintain compressorefficiency for optimum power, fuel consumption, and service life.Contamination of the compressor reduces the mass of air supplied tothe combustion section. Reduced air mass results in either:

1. Higher turbine temperature for the same fuel flow, with lowerpower output.

2. Even higher turbine temperature with the increased fuelconsumption necessary to achieve the same power output.

Power losses that cannot be blamed to contamination of the compressormust be further investigated. Dirt or other contaminates in thecompressor are the most common cause of gradual loss of engine perfor-mance. As a general rule, for each percent of loss in compressorefficiency, approximately two percent of power is lost at the drivenequipment output shaft.

Engines operating in a salt laden environment requires extra atten-tion to avoid corrosion. Corrosion in the compressor reduces airmass flow and can weaken the components.

Compressor approved methods of cleaning compressor:

1.

2.

3.

Water rinse with fresh pottable water while motoring, for rinsingcorrosive contaminates from the gas path and/or rinse the engineafter chemical wash (Ref. Paragraph 10-19).

Chemical wash while motoring, for washing contaminates from thecompressor (Ref. Paragraph 10-20).

Abrasive (walnut shell) cleaning, for removing dry or baked oncontaminates when other methods are not effective (Ref. Paragraph10-21).

4. Special process motoring washes, for cleaning the compressor ifchemical and water is unavailable or not effective and abrasivecleaning is not desired (Ref. Paragraph 10-22).

5. Online compressor washing using approved cleaners (Ref. IndustrialService Letter - 3, Revision No. 3).

E. The best method and frequency of application depend upon the condi-tions under which the engine operates. As a general rule, the com-pressor should be at least water washed each day after operating inthe salt laden environment. The cleaning methods and frequencyshould be determined by frequent compressor inspections, operatingconditions, and performance evaluations. Some conditions may requiremore than one cleaning method to maintain compressor cleanliness.

10-19. WATER RINSE.

A. Water rinse is done by spraying fresh, pottable, filtered water intothe compressor air inlet while the engine is being motored by thestarter. The purpose is to remove water soluble contaminates fromthe gas path of the engine. It is also used to rinse out residuesafter chemical wash of the engine.

1. Frequency of Water Rinse.

a. An engine which has ingested salt water or mist directly intothe compressor air inlet shall receive a motoring water rinsewash after each day’s use.

b. An engine in a salt laden environment which has not beenoperated for a period of three days shall receive a water rinsewash prior to operation.

c. An engine which has received a water wash immediately prior tobecoming inactive may remain inactive for a period of fourteen(14) days. If inactivity is to continue, the water wash appli-cation must be reapplied at the end of the 14th day unless aninspection indicates that the need does not exist.

d. Engines which have visually observable compressor blade andvane contamination and/or which show a trend of deterioratingperformance should receive a water rinse wash and/or liquidcleaner chemical wash.

2. Materials for Water Rinse.

JAN/91

a. Water: Use pottable water if possible. Fresh, drinkable, filter-ed water is the lowest acceptable quality. The flow rate is 3.5gallons (13.25 liters) per minute for a total of 10 gallons (38liters). Flow can be continuous or divided into equal motoringtime intervals, as required, depending on starter limitations.

b. Wetting agent: A wetting agent is recommended and if used, thewetting agent should be a nonionic detergent that does notcontain sulphur or phosphorous. Approved wetting agents are:

NOTE

The wetting agent mixture is one ounce (30 mL) of 100% agent per 100liquid ounces (2 958 mL) of water to get a 1% solution. Mix two ounces(60 mL) of the l% solution per gallon (3.79 L) to the water rinse.

● Tergitol 15-S-9 (Union Carbide Corporation)● Aerosol Type OT (American Cyanamid Chemical Corporation)

c. Antifreeze: If the ambient temperature is 32*F (O*C) or less, mixmethanol (methylalcohol, Ch30H) or isopropanol (isopropylalcohol) at a minimum mixture ratio of one part to three partswater.

B. Equipment for Water Rinse.

1. The equipment used should be adaptable for both water rinse andchemical wash. The equipment must be capable of supplying rinsewater or the water and chemical mixture under pressure to a finespray nozzle at the compressor air inlet at a volume of 3.5 gpm(13.25 Lpm). The spray nozzle may be mounted or hand held andshould provide a fine spray that covers the engine inletuniformly. Some installations may have water rinse and wash spraysystems incorporated.

NOTE

Chemical wash agent manufacturers are a good source for wash systems orwash system designs (Ref. Paragraph 10-20, Step C-2).

7. If an in-line siphon type mixer is used, be sure it uses thecorrect ratio of chemical wash mixture. This type of mixer issensitive to viscosity and supply pressure.

8. Gelling or excessive foaming of a chemical cleaner in the engineusually indicates the engine was too hot.

F. Chemical Wash Procedure.

1. Service the chemical wash equipment with the cleaning chemical andwater, prepared with wetting agent and antifreeze if necessary.

2. Motor (crank) the engine with the starter in the motoring mode(oil supply ON, fuel and ignition systems OFF).

3. Close bleed valves.

4. Begin injecting the chemical wash mixture when the engine (Nl)rpm reaches maximum motoring speed, N1 rpm must be 1800 rpm orbelow.

5. Stop the flow of chemical wash mixture when the recommended amountof cleaner has been injected, then stop motoring. If necessary,the wash can be done in more than one motoring cycle, but be sureto stop the flow of chemical wash mixture before stoppingmotoring.

6. Allow the cleaner mixture to work as recommended by themanufacturer, usually 10 to 15 minutes.

7. Water rinse and run the engine per Paragraph 10-19, Step D., untilwater comes out clean.

8. If visual inspection reveals the compressor is still contaminated,repeat the chemical wash or try one of the special cleaningprocedures (Ref. Paragraph 10-22.) If compressor is stillcontaminated, clean with abrasive cleaning (Ref. Paragraph 10-21).

10-21. ABRASIVE (GROUND SHELL) CLEANING.

A. Abrasive cleaning (ground shell cleaning) is done while the engine isrunning. Abrasive cleaning works by allowing the engine to ingestspecially prepared ground walnut shells which scour the compressorgas path and are then burned in the combustion section. It isespecially effective for removing dry baked-on deposits. The processis mildly erosive to metal parts, and very erosive to the marinized(corrosion resistant) coating in the compressor. The use of abrasivecleaning should not be needed and can be avoided by maintaining aclean compressor by cleaning frequently by the water rinse method,chemical wash method or using special cleaning processes.

JAN/91 10-17

Allison Engine Company

501 -KB5 DEC OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

CAUTION

ALTHOUGH ABRASIVE (GROUND SHELL) CLEANING IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE CLEANINGMETHOD, IT SHOULD BE MINIMIZED DUE TO THE EROSIVE EFFECT ON COMPRESSORBLADES AND AIR AND OIL SEALS. TRY ALL OTHER CLEANING METHODS, SUCH AS,WATER RINSE, CHEMICAL WASH, AND/OR SPECIAL CLEANING PROCESSES BEFOREUSING GROUND SHELL CLEANING. USE OF GROUND SHELL CLEANING IS RECOMMEND-ED ONLY WHEN ALL OTHER METHODS WILL NOT RECOVER ENGINE PERFORMANCE SUF-FICIENTLY AFTER SHAFT HORSEPOWER LOSS HAD REACHED 5 PERCENT OR MORE.

B. Frequency of Ground Shell Cleaning. Ground shell cleaning isdamaging to the marinized coating in the compressor and should beavoided. Contamination that resists all other cleaning methodsshould be removed by ground shell cleaning if engine performancereduction is severe. Frequent water rinse and chemical wash cleaningis even more important to engines which have been cleaned abrasively.

C. Materials for Ground Shell Cleaning.

CAUTION

TO AVOID CHANCE OF PUTTING CONTAMINATED WALNUT SHELLS INTO AN ENGINEWHICH WILL CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT USERS ORDER THEWALNUT SHELLS UNDER P/N 23002488. IT IS ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT ANYPARTIALLY USED PACKAGE NOT BE SAVEDAS AN OPENED PACKAGE IS CONSIDEREDTO BE CONTAMINATED.

1. One gallon (3.8 liters) packages of ground walnut shells which hasbeen properly sized, graded and cleaned may be ordered fromAllison parts outlets by part number 23002488.

D. Equipment for Ground Shell Cleaning.

1. A suitable dispenser capable of injecting two gallons (7.6 liters)of ground shells into the engine air inlet in five minutes isrequired.

NOTE

A ground shell dispenser, 6799610, may be obtained from Allison.

2. The equipment must be capable of a flow rate adjustment to thedesired rate. Adjust the ground shell flow rate for a unitdesigned like the one represented in Figure 10-5 as follows:

a. A flow rate of two gallons (7.6 liters) of ground shells infive minutes is desired. The rate should not exceed one halfgallon per minute.

b. The outlet of the ground shell dispenser in the inlet plenumshould be located in a position expected to allow good distribu-tion through the compressor inlet. The compressor inlet air-flow causes a lower pressure in the plenum which causes air tobe drawn through the ground shell dispenser (Ref. Figure 10-6).

c. The first time the ground shell dispenser is used, set theadjustable orifice at the base of the hopper conservativelysmall . Follow the cleaning procedure and while cleaning,adjust the orifice to achieve the desired flow rate. TheON-OFF valve should be completely open.

d. The flow rate should not require adjustment on subsequentcleaning.

The engine incorporates a compressor air bleed system to unload thecompressor and to reduce the possibility of a surge occurring duringthe engine starting and shutdown cycles.

The compressor air bleed system consists of eight (8) pneumaticallyoDerated comlsensi”

;;:e:”

ive va!

eed va-valvesvalvesvalves

ressor air bleed valves (bleed vaivesj,-a speedve, and a filter with inconnecting hoses and tubes.

ves are located on the compressor casing. Four (4)are mounted on the fifth (5th) stage manifolds and 4are mounted on the tenth (lOth) stage manifolds. Theare open when engine speed is below 12.750 rpm to permit

ing the compressor during engine starts. ‘

The speed sensitive valve is mounted on the forward -

accessory drive gearbox and controls the opening andbleed valves. The speed sensitive valve positioningpiston spring tension) is controlled by engine speed

eft side of theclosing of the 8(fly weight and(rpm) .

At engine speeds below 12,750 rpm the speed sensitive valve ispositioned so that the outboard side of all 8 bleed valves is ventedto atmospheric pressure thru the speed sensitive valve’s vent. The5th and 10th stage air pressures are greater than atmosphericpressure, the bleed valves are held open allowing air to bleed fromthe compressor (Ref. Figure 11-1).

At engine speeds above 12,750 rpm the speed sensitive valve ispositioned so that the vent to atmospheric pressure is closed andfourteenth (14th) stage (diffuser) pressure is directed to theoutboard side of all 8 bleed valves. The 14th stage (diffuser)pressure is greater than the 5th or 10th stage pressure, the 8 bleedvalves are closed and air is no longer being bled from thecompressor,

A filter is installed in the line between the 14th stage (diffuser)bleed air and the speed sensitive valve to prevent foreign materialsfrom entering the speed sensitive valve.

SPEED SENSITIVE VALVE.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION.

The speed sensitive valve is mounted on the forward left side of theaccessory drive gearbox. The speed sensitive valve controls theopening and/or closing of the 8 bleed valves.

At engine speed below 12,750 rpm the piston spring pressure overcomesflyweight force venting the area between the 8 bleed valve and thespeed sensitive valve, allowing the 5th and 10th stage pressure toforce open the bleed valve pistons and bleeds the 5th and 10th stagepressure to the atmospheric (Ref. Figure 11-1).

11-11

Allison Engine Company

501-KB5 DEC OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

C. At engine speed above 12,750 rpm the flyweight force overcomes pistonspring pressure, which opens the poppet valve and closes the vent,allowing the 14th stage (diffuser) pressure to overcome the 5th and10th stage pressure closing the bleed valve pistons. Now, all of thecompressor air is used for engine operation.

six individualn an annular

assembly,section that

The liners are located radially at the front by the fuel nozzlesand at the rear by the turbine inlet casing.

The liners are located axially by the igniters in two diametrical-ly opposed liners and by liner support assemblies in the otherfour liners.

Crossover ferrules connect adjacent liners to spread the flameduring starting to the adjacent liners that contain no igniters.

The fuel nozzles, mounted in the diffuser, extend into the centerof each liner dome.

The Emission II type liner was developed to control smoke andother emissions.

Portions of the forward liner section interior are ceramic coated.

The purpose of the liners is to properly mix the fuel and air forcombustion and contain and control the combustion. This isaccomplished by design for air flow control.

The combustion outer case encloses the liners and serves as thesupporting structure between the compressor diffuser and turbine unitassembly.

1. Air from the compressor diffuser passes through the space betweenthe inner and outer combustion casings and cools the combustionsection.

NOTE

Some engines may have a 1 piece combustion outer case. The 2 piececombustion outer case is an option and will be discussed in thissection.

2. The outer combustion case is of two basic types: a l-piece designand a 2-piece design. The 2-piece design has horizontal, boltedsplitline flanges to connect the two halves.

3. The 2-piece design also uses close tolerance bolts in the forwardand aft flanges to achieve proper alignment. The l-piece designuses dowel pins to accomplish the same function.

C. The combustion chamber inner casing (lighthouse) consists of twopieces, an inner case and inner casing liner which are boltedtogether at the forward end. A vented air space separates the innercase and inner casing liner and forms a heatshield to protect theturbine shaft and pressure and scavenge oil lines which pass throughthe center. The combustion chamber inner casing is often called thelighthouse.

D. Air enters the combustion section from the compressor diffuser. Fuelis mixed with the air and burned. Some air flows through the linerdome and holes in the forward part of the barrel section forcombustion. Air also flows through holes and passages in the sides ofthe liners to control the burning pattern and provide cooling of thecombustion liner walls. The hot gases pass through the transitionsection of the liners into the turbine.

The crossover clamps should be inspected whenever the engine isdisassembled enough to expose them.

Combustion Inner Case.

The combustion inner case is attached to the turbine inlet case andis a slip fit with expander ring seals into the inner bore of thecompressor diffuser. It forms the inner wall of an annulus in whichthe combustion liners are supported.

Inspect the inner combustion casing when other maintenance causes theengine to be dissembled sufficiently for inspection. Inspect forcracks and wear in the piston ring grooves and the mating surfaces ofthe diffuser sleeve. No cracks are allowed. Maximum piston ringgroove width is 0.269 in. (6.83 mm)

Combustion Inner Case Liner.

The combustion inner case liner fits inside the inner combustion caseto form a double wall assembly with an air space between to providethermal protection. The turbine shaft and oil tubes for the frontturbine bearing pass through the bore of the inner combustion caseand liner assembly, which is often called the lighthouse.

Inspect the combustion inner casing liner when other maintenancecauses the engine to be dissembled sufficiently for inspection.Inspect for cracks and damage in the seal grooves. No cracks areallowed.

ENGINE IGNITION SYSTEM.

shielded lead assemblies connect the ignition exciter to the sparkigniters.

B. The 20 to 29 volts dc input power required by the ignition exciter issupplied through a relay which, in turn, is controlled by the controlsystem. During engine starting, the control circuits energize theignition system at approximately 2200 engine rpm and de-energize thesystem at approximately 8400 engine rpm.

B.

After ignition takes place in number two and five combustion liners,the flame propagates via crossover tubes to the remaining fourliners. Once the fuel-air mixture is burning, combustion isselfsustaining as long as fuel is supplied.

EXCITER.

Description and O~eration.

The exciter is a high tension, triggered gap, capacitor dischargetype exciter. The exciter furnishes the high voltage required tofire two spark igniters, one in the number 2 and one in the number 5combustion liners. The exciter is a hermetically sealed unit.

The exciter will operate satisfactorily on dc voltaae ranaina between20 and 29 volts. Variations in input ~oltage affec~ the ~pa~k ratebut do not have a proportionate effect on the amount of energydissipated in the spark.

NOTE

For liquid fuel engines the exciter can be mounted on the top of thecompressor section just behind the air intake housing. For gaseous anddual fuel engines the exciter is mounted off the engine in an explosionproof enclosure. The maintenance for either mounted exciter is thesame, the off-engine mounted exciter will be covered in this Section.

TURBINE UNIT ASSEMBLY

13-1. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION.

A.

B.

c.

D.

E.

F.

Go

H.

The turbine unit assembly converts the energy of the hot gasesleaving the combustion liners into shaft horsepower (SHP) by themeans of a four (4) stage turbine rotor assembly. The turbine unitassembly drives the compressor, accessory drive gearbox, powertakeoff assembly, and driven equipment.

The turbine unit assembly consists of the following components (Ref.Figure 13-1).

1. Combustion inlet casing.2. Combustion inlet casing liner.3. Inlet casing.4. Vane casing.5. Rear bearing support.6. Rotor assembly.

The combustion inlet casing and combustion inlet casing liner form aheat shield and enclose the scavenge and pressure oil tubes and theturbine shaft. The combustion inlet casing liner incorporates abellows type expansion joint at the rear end to allow for expansion,contraction, and/or misalignment.

The inlet casing encloses the 1st stage vane assembly, front bearingsupport, and bearing (No. 3). The inlet casing is bolted to thecombustion outer casing, at the forward end, and to the vane casingat the rear end.

The vane casing encloses the rotor assembly and the 2nd, 3rd, and 4thvane assemblies. The vane casing is bolted to the inlet casing, atthe forward end, and to the rear bearing support, at the rear end.

The rear bearing support houses the rear bearing (No. 4), rearbearing labyrinth seal, provides a mount flange for the rear scavengeoil pump, and for the turbine outlet temperature (TOT) thermocouples(T/C) . The rear bearing support provides an outlet duct for the hotexhaust gas.

The rotor assembly consists of four turbine wheels supported byroller bearings at each end. The four stage turbine rotor assemblyprovides the horsepower (HP) to drive the components.

Labyrinth seals are used at the front and rear bearing locat ens.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

INTRODUCTION.

This Section presents general maintenance information and procedures.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE PRACTICES .

CAUTION

DO NOT REUSE LOCKWIRE, COTTER PINS, PACKINGS (O-RINGS), LIP SEALS,COMPOSITION GASKETS, AND SPLIT OR TAB LOCKWASHERS. REPLACE SELF-LOCKINGNUTS WHEN THE MINIMUM BREAKAWAY TORQUE IS BELOW THE REQUIREMENTS OFSPECIFICATION MIL-N-25027. MINIMUM TORQUE IS DEFINED AS THE TORQUEREQUIRED TO START TURNING AN UNLOADED NUTONA BOLT.

NOTE

During the various stages of dismantling, observe all parts, closely forsigns of scoring, burning or other defe~ts. Frequently the-conditi& ofparts is better revealed by examination before cleaning.

A.

B.

c.

DO

Note the location and approximate position of each fuel, oil, air,and drain line fitting before transferring it from a removedaccessory to the replacement unit. This practice will facilitateinstallation and enable the connecting of various lines in theircorrect relationship. When hoses are installed, watch for evidenceof a hose being twisted, and guard against the possibility of chafingagainst other hoses or equipment.

Most maintenance work can be done with standard hand tools that anengine mechanic normally has available to him. If special tools arerequired they are specified in the maintenance practices of the itembeing worked on.

Whenever a fluid carrying part is removed, make a leakage check afterinstallation by motoring or operating the engine.

CAUTION

NOT USE COMMON LEAD PENCILS FOR MARKINGTHAT CAN EAT INTO METAL PARTS. ‘-

If information must be marked on a part, use only approved markingpencils (Ref. Paragraph 14-17).

Before assembly, clean all parts in the correct cleaner. Dry andlubricate, if this is required, with oil and corrosion resistantmixture.

Extreme care should be taken to prevent dirt, dust, cotter pins,nuts, washers, and other small particles from falling into the engineassembly during the maintenance. These can work into the gears oroil lines, and cause considerable damage.

Completely finish each step in the process of assemble as the workprogresses. Do not leave a bolt loose or nut uncottered pin (safety)with the idea of coming back to it later, except as specificallyinstructed herein.

14-4. COTTER PIN INSTALLATION.

A. All cotter pins used must be new,

B. The plane of cotter pin eye must be parallel to the axis of bolt orstud ,

C. The cotter pin eye must be seated against bolt or stud and prongsmust be bent tight so that cotter pin will not move axially afterinstallation.

D. If there is interference between cotter pin eye and bottom of nutcastellation, the cotter pin must be deformed slightly by forcing itinto nut castellation.

E. Figure 14-l,example (A) shows the preferred method of installation.Installation per examples (B), (C), and (D) may be done when requiredby a particular application.

14-5. STANDARD TORQUE LIMITS.

A. Standard torque limits for bolts, nuts, and screws are contained inTables 14-1, 14-2, 14-3, 14-4, and 14-5.

B. Standard torque limits for hose and tube assemblies are contained inTables 14-6 and 14-7.

1. Coupling nuts and connecting items (union, elbow, nipples, etc.)should be lubricated with clean engine oil or equivalent unlessotherwise specified, prior to torque application.

Use 0.020 or 0.032 in. (0.51 or 0.81 mm) diameter stainless steellockwire as required.

All lockwire shall be new.

Use spiral lockwire pliers wherever practical for twisting lockwire.

Be sure that any part requiring torque, such as bolts, nuts, plugs,screws, etc., must be tightened to the proper torque beforeinstalling lockwire.

Make first lockwire turn by hand for proper formation and removal ofslack, except for inaccessible locations where first turn may be madeby pliers. Remaining turns may be made with a Iockwire twisting toolor by hand.

Use lockwire tools which are protected against the possibility ofmarring the lockwire.

Lockwire must be installed in a manner that a tendency of the securedparts to loosen will put a tension on the lockwire.

Use double strand (twisted lockwire) in all applications, unlessotherwise specified.

Only use single strand lockwire in tight places where it isimpractical to use twisted lockwire.

Lockwire fasteners in pairs or in threes, unless otherwise specified,with double strand (twisted lockwire) any series of bolts or otherparts.

Lockwire must have four to six turns per inch (25.4 mm) when twistedand must not be overstressed to the point where it will break underslight load.

14-9. RIGID TUBE INSTALLATION.

14-10. Remove rigid tube assemblies from components that are to be replaced.Remove all interfering tube assemblies to allow for easy removal of thecomponent. This precaution will help prevent damage to the tubeassemblies.

14-11. Flared Tubes.

A.

B.

c.

Tube assemblies must fit and be aligned with the mating flare tubefittings in a free state so that the nuts at each end of the assemblywill engage the mating tube fitting threads up to the final one-halfturn with light finger pressure. In the event a tube does not alignwith the mating fittings, reposition the mating fittings to thedegree that proper alignment may be attained. Final tightening ofthese fittings must be done before the tube assembly is connected.

If proper alignment cannot be attained by repositioning mating flaretube fittings, bend the tube sufficiently to provide alignment in thefree state as specified. Accomplish all bending with the tuberemoved from the engine. Adjustment of the fit may be accomplishedby bending by hand at principal bends. In the event the tube cannotbe bent by hand, the tube must be clamped in a fixture or devicewhich will not scratch, indent, crimp, or mark the surface of thetube during the bending operation. The flattened effect of the crosssection of the tube as a result of the reforming operation must notexceed 15 percent of the tube OD.

When Drot)er free state alianment is attained, complete the tubinginstaila~ion by simultaneously securing the coupling nuts and -

tightening them to proper torque.

must be such that the total flange area contact can be achieved byflexing the tube by hand without causing a permanent set to theassembly. Flange clearance holes must line up with mating holes thatbolts can be fitted without subjecting the tube to a torsional load.

Clipping Points. Locate clips to securing points such that thesetscrews can be fitted by flexing the tube by hand without causing apermanent set to the assembly. Tubes which fail to meet thisrequirement may be removed from the engine and reformed as follows:

1. Tubes must be clamped in a fixture which will not scratch, indent,crimp or mark the surface of the tube during the bendingoperation.

2. Retention of the tube during bending should be made in a mannerwhich does not permit bending or torsional loads across welded orbrazed areas.

3. Tubes which can be corrected for fit only by submitting weldedareas to bending or torsional loads must be inspected by X-ray orZyglo for any evidence of weld or braze fracture prior toinstallation on the engine.

4. Reformed tubes must meet the requirements of Steps A. or B.

When removal of the tube from the enqine would result in excessivelost time due to the need for teardo;n and rebuild, the tube may bereformed while attached to the engine if the following precautionsare followed:

1.

2.

3.

Bending and torsional loads must not be applied across welded orbrazed areas.

The tube attachment points are to be loosened after bending.(Attachment points which are inaccessible due to the state ofassembly are excluded.)

Reformed tubes must meet the requirements of Steps A. and B.

14-13. USE OF TORQUE WRENCHES.

A.

B.

When using a torque wrench with a pivoted handle, the handles must bebalanced so that pressure is applied only at the pivot.

In some ar)~lications, it is necessary to use a s~ecial extension oradapter wrench with a standard torqu~ wrench as shown in Figure14-5. When the axis of the adapter or extension is positioned 90°from the axis of the torque wrench (as shown in dotted lines, Figure14-5), no correction factor is required.

CAUTION

DO NOT USE A CLEANING SOLVENT BEFORE APPLYING THE DEVELOPER. SOLVENTUOULD WASH THE DYE PENETRANT FROM CRACKS.

E. Shake the developer to make certain it is well mixed. Using adifferent brush, apply a thin coat of developer. A very thin coat ofdeveloper gives the best results, so gently blow off any excessimmediately. Quickly dry the developer with filtered air so that dyefrom shallow defects will not bleed out prematurely. If the coatingis not white when dry, it indicates that the dye-penetrant was notcompletely removed from the surface; in this case remove thedeveloper and apply a second coat. Normally two coats of developercan be applied without applying additional penetrant, although thesecond coat requires additional developing time. If the second coatis also too pink to allow accurate checking, start over and clean thearea thoroughly.

F. Allow time for dye penetrant from any cracks to bleed through. Largecracks will show up almost as soon as the developer is dry, but itwill take at least five minutes for indicating small cracks. A solidor dotted line bleeding through the white coating indicates a crack.

DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS OPERATORS MANUAL

1.0 INTRODUCTION .

A. This ar)~endix describes the Digital Communications (DCOMMS) packageas it is used with the Allison-501-KB5 engine using a Hawker SiddeleyDynamics Engineering, LTD (HSDE) Digital Control Assembly (DCA).DCOMMS utilizes the RS232C serial interface via an IBM compatiblepersonal computer (PC) setup.

B. The material herein is adapted from a HSDE document entitled, DIGICONIBM Communications Operator Manual.

C. The DCOMMS package provides the following key features:

1. On line monitoring of engine parameters (both interfaced directly

2

3

to the DCA and computed by the DCA), with engineering unit display.

On line adjustment of parameters in either engineering unit formator by up and down trimming. Adjustment is both password protectedand limited to within prescribed upper and lower boundaries, forsafety reasons.

On line data lominq of UP to 8 parameters at a time with aminimum time re;;lu~ion of approximately 1 second (period isoperator selectable) for up to 1000 records (number of scansrecorded). The logged data may be directed to either disk file,serial ports or printer.

4. Selected monitoring pages may be saved at any time to disk orexternal device (e.g. printer) for off line analysis.

5. Via Non Volatile Memory (NVM) initialization functions, manycontrol systems may be simply and efficiently set up.

6. All operator applied changes (setpoints etc.) are recorded inter-nally (within the IBM) and may, if required, be saved to disk ontermination of the communications session via automatic con-figuration file reconstruction, such that changes may be recorded.

7. A TEST mode allows verification of an operator configuration filebefore committing the system to the final control environment. Inthis mode, the IBM and DCOMMS package act in a stand alone mannerwithout the need for a DCA series controller.

8. All Tables in this Appendix were generated in TEST mode.Numerical values have no significant meaning. The Tables showexamples of procedural functionality and not engine configurationspecifics. They are test examples only.

Most systems automatically support a U.S. type format which issufficient. (Other simi 1 ar programs are KBUK.COM and KBUK.SYS . . .see your computer reference manual for exact details).

The United Kingdom (U.K.) keyboard program which replaces theprogram resident in ROM. Note that this may not be necessary ifyour computer system already supports a U.K. type keyboardprogram.

MODE.COMA program which sets the mode of operation on a printer and setsoptions for operation for an Asynchronous Communications Adapter.The serial port used for communications must be set using thisprogram.

ANSI.SYSThis program is a screen and keyboard driver which handles thescreen cursor positioning and screen character attributes as usedwithin the DCOMMS package. This driver is invoked at system resettime by placing the command:

DEVICE = ANSI.SYS

in your CONFIG.SYS (system setup) file.

CONFIG.SYSThis is a system (IBM or equivalent computer) setup orconfiguration file, defining to the operating system at reset timethe 1/0 drivers to use and limits on memory and file size. ForDCOMMS operation, you should have the lines:

DEVICE = ANSI.SYSFILES = 8BUFFERS = 20

incorporated. On some IBM compatible systems:

DEVICE = KBUK.SYS

may be required if the keyboard driver is not a directlyexecutable program (e.g. .COM or .EXE file), refer to yourcomputer reference manual if in doubt.

2.4 INSTALLATION FOR FLOPPY DISK SYSTEM.

A. It is most convenient to make up a single floppy disk containing boththe computer operating system, the DOS support programs, and the

NOTE

Try out these page movement keys a few times to familiarize operation.In all cases, note that the page number display changes, and that thepage title changes to reflect the newly selected display page.

c.

D.

If pages are selected by page number, then the numbers appear in theheader field as they are typed in, and are removed on pressing thereturn key. DCOMMS will limit you in a maximum number equivalent inthe number of pages available. The Del key may be used to edit thepage number in this direct page number entry mode.

Obviously it would be a tedious process to scan throuah pages usingthe page selection keys until you came across the act~al page you areinterested in. In this case, an Index to pages may be called upthrough use of function key F9. Press the F9 key. Immediately anindex is shown, similar to Table 2, depicting page numbers and theassociated page titles. (When more than 12 pages exist, the up anddown cursor keys may be used to scroll through the list.) Havingnoted the page you are interested in, exit Index mode by pressingF1O, then enter the page number directly as outlined above (pagenumber then Return).

4.0 FAULT LOG.

4.1 FORMAT .

A. The DCOMMS Fault Log consists of two segments: warnings and shut-downs. Also, some engine parameters are included for easy monitoringconvenience (Ref. Table 3). The fault log is viewed in themonitoring mode and consists of seven (7) pages. Each page containsinformation of one (1) start and is updated as the next start ismade. Hence, the most recent seven (7) starts are always available.

B. The seven (7) pages of fault log have been numbered backwards so thatthe most recent start is the last page of DCOMMS (Ref. Table 2).This configuration allows for the easiest access to the current startfault log from any other page in the monitoring mode by simplypressing the end key.

Should a valid data value be entered, DCOMMS will now prompt you forRAM, NVM, or both RAM and NVM update (Ref. Table 6). Press the keyassociated with your selection (R, N, or B). Selecting R will updateRAM based values only, N will update NVM base values only while Bwill update both RAM and NVM based values simultaneously.

If either R or B is selected from above, then the IBM internaldatabase will be updated together with the displayed screen value, ifN is selected then the associated IBM internal default database ismodified but not the screen displayed value (as the displayedparameters are RAM based).

DCOMMS will revert back to a dynamic display, and remain in Changemode allowing further changes to be made as required. Experiment afew times to familiarize yourself.

5.6 TRIMMING.

A. Sometimes it is necessary to alter a value in small continuous finitesteps analogous to a potentiometer adjustment, while observing theeffects on other parameters without having to repeatedly enter exactvalues on the keyboard. For example, it may be required to establisha control loop gain term by continuous adjustment while observing themeasured input value, such as changing speed loop proportional gainand observing the stability effects on speed. This may be achievedvia the Trim function selected by function key F4 from Change mode.

B. With the required parameter highlighted, press the F4 key. Theparameter name and value will now be transferred into the promptfield, and the associated NVM (default value) will also bedisplayed. In test mode the statement:

NVM value = ????

will be displayed, as the DCA is not on-line, and a communicationerror has been detected, ignore this.

C. The display will continue to be a dynamically updating screen.

E. Experiment with these keys to get a feel of response. It isacceptable to keep the desired cursor key pressed to trim theparameter as much as it is to just inch it with stabs on theappropriate key.

F. Note that DCOMMS will limit adjustment to upper or lower limits asdefined in the DCOMMS Configuration file. The rates of adjustmentare not adjustable. Some parameters require larger steps than othersand must be trimmed using the medium or fast trim keys.

G. On achieving the required value, press the Return key to remain inChange mode and change/trim other parameters, or press the Quit (F1O)key to exit back to Monitor mode.

5.6.1 Enterinq a Trimmed Value to NVM.

CAUTION

DURING ENGINE OPERATION, ALL ADJUSTMENTS MUST BE MADE USING THE TRIMFEATURE. INSTANTANEOUSLY INSERTING A SPECIFIC VALUE WITH THE CHANGEFEATURE MAY CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE.

A. The trim feature only changes the RAM based parameters (temporarychanges). At this time, if a permanent change to the NVM basedparameter is desired, the change feature can be used during engineoperation to insert the new trimmed value without consequence. Thisis possible because the engine is operating at the current trimmedRAM value.

1. Enter Change Mode.

2. Use trim feature to make desired adjustment (RAM temporary; smallincremental changes safe during engine operation).

3. Use change feature to insert new trimmed value. WhenNVM, RAM, or BOTH, either NVM or BOTH are appropriate

4. Verify that the NVM value now matches the RAM value. Use thechange feature again and compare the value in the parameter field(RAM) with that in the prompt field (NVM). If they match, simplypush return; if they do not, try the procedure again.

5. Continue with other adjustments or exit Change Mode.

5.7 ERROR MESSAGES.

A. It may become apparent through experimentation that several differenttypes of error messages can be displayed, these being described asfollows.

5.7.1 Wronq Password.

A. This message is dkeyboard. At the

splayed if an incorrect password is entered at thesame time DCOMMS will revert back to Monitor mode.

B. To remove the error message, press the Reset (F8) key, and ifdesired, repeat the required operation.

5.7.2 Guarded Access.

A.

B.

This message will be displayed if unauthorized access (to change) isattempted on a parameter. This may occur if, for example, operatoraccess is attempted on a parameter that has been defined as amonitoring only within the DCOMMS configuration file, or if anattempt has been made (at any level) to change the value of aparameter defined as a status/flag parameter. Operator access isrestricted solely to parameters defined as adjustable setpoints.

To remove the error message, press the Reset (F8) key, and if desiredrepeat the required operation”.

5.7.3 Ranqe Error.

A. This message will be displayed if an attempt has been made to alter avalue out of prescribed limits (as defined in the DCOMMS configura-tion file).

B. The selected parameter value will not be altered.

C. To remove the error message, press the Reset (F8) key and if desired,repeat the required operation.

A. It is not wise to leave the system unattended while operating inChange mode as it would be possible for unauthorized changes to bemade.

JAN/91

This mode allows selected parameters to be logged at discrete timeintervals, with associated data being saved to an external medium(e.g., disk file or printer) for later analysis or for informationrecording reasons.

Up to 8 parameters may be selected for logging at any one time, theseparameters being independent of screen and parameter layout. Thelogging function is performed within DCOMMS during Monitor modeoperation, such that parameters may be displayed on one screen pagewhile parameters from that and/or other pages may be logged at thesame time.

Parameters are logged as records, where a record is one block ofparameter information as selected. Up to a limit of 1000 records maybe selected for logging, thus if 8 parameters and 1000 records areselected, then a total of 1000 lines of data associated with 8parameters will be logged.

The data logged is time tagged, per record, in units of hours,minutes and seconds.

The resolution of data logging largely depends on the speed/power ofthe IBM (or compatible) personal computer system used, as well as thenumber of parameters being displayed on a Monitoring mode displaypage (as the communication process to the DCA and subsequent dataconversion/display processes are increased, due to the fact that bothMonitoring and Logging functions are interleaved within DCOMMS).However, generally the minimum update time may be of the order of 1second for XT compatible com~uters and 0.5 seconds for ATcompatibles. ‘

It maytypically be a disk filename or perhaps a connected printer (in whichcase enter PRN:). If the selected filename already exists, then thiswill be over-written with new data, else a new file will be opened.Be careful in that if a printer is selected (i.e., PRN:) and aprinter is not actually connected to the computer, then the systemwill fail (due to DOS).

Having entered valid responses to the above prompts, the modeautomatically changes to Log set-up in the header field, andparameter names associated with the current page appear on thedisplay; parameter values and units are not shown as they are notrelevant to parameter selection for logging.

To abort log mode at any of the above points, enter a non-validresponse (which will be followed by associated error message) or usethe quit (F1O) function, returning back to Monitor mode.

6.9 ERROR MESSAGES .

A. The following error messages may be encountered in Log set-up mode:

6.9.1 Wronq Password.

A. This message is displayed if an incorrect password is entered at thekeyboard. At the same time DCOMMS will revert back to Monitor mode.

B. To remove the error message, press the Reset (F8) key, and if desiredrepeat the required operation.

6.9.2 Invalid File O~eration.

A. This message will be displayed if an illegal filename has beenentered when one has been prompted for, or if the selected file is aread only device, or some other illegal file operation has occurred.

B. DCOMMS will allow you to re-enter a valid filename and continue.

7.0 DIGICON NON VOLATILE MEMORY (NVM) ACCESS NVM MODE.

7.1 GENERAL.

A. The DCOMMS package allows access to the DCA’S NVM based parameters,these generally being used for default settings of adjustments. Theoperations described in this section refer to the adjustableparameters as defined in Paragraph 5.1. Where the phrase DIGICON NVMparameters is used, the adjustable parameters are inferred. Thisfunction allows block transfer of information from one memory stationto another.

B. While the Change mode allows discrete alteration of NVM basedparameters, the NVinit mode allows block transfer of all DCA NVMparameters to and from the personal computer (PC).

C. This mode allows block read and write of the DCA NVM values as wellas examination of both the DCA based parameters and the internal IBMdefault values (as defined in the DCOMMS configuration file).

D. The block read and write functions are particularly useful in:

1. (Block read) Keeping a record of currently stored informationwithin the DCA system.

2. (Block write) Performing a complete default value initializationon the DCA system.

JAN/91 Appendix-27

Allison Engine Company

501-KB5 DEC OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

3. (Block read and write) In commissioning several DCA systems ofthe same application, the first system may be adjusted and trimmedextensively using the normal Change mode operations, then totransfer the same information to the other DCAS without repeatingthe lengthy discrete changes to each, download all data from thefirst to the IBM and subsequently disk file, then upload that datafrom IBM to the other DCAS using the block write function. Thissaves considerable time and minimizes risk of forgetting to setsome parameters up or entering incorrect date.

7.2 ENTRY INTO NVINIT MODE.

A.

B.

c.

Entry into NVM initialization (NVinit) mode is via Monitoring mode(as indicated in the function key field) by pressing F4.

DCOMMS will now prompt for entry of a valid password in the promptfield. At this stage, the screen and parameter update is frozen. Avalid password must now be entered. The password is ALLIGT; anacronym for Allison Industrial Gas Turbines.

Either enter a valid password to continue, else enter a non-validpassword to abort the-function to revert back to Monitor mode; if thelatter is performed, then reset the password error message using thereset (F8) key.

B.

For initiation into the use of DCOMMS, it is recommended that thesystem summary be reviewed. Also, use of the test mode provided isadvised. The test mode is automatically engaged when DCOMMS is runwithout the PC connected to the DCA. This mode is also useful fortesting a new configuration file before exposing to a real controlatmosphere. Remember, in the test mode the values will be changingon the screen with no true meaning or reflection ofinterrelationship.

Now that the operator is familiar with DCOMMS and the configurationfile is verified, the package is ready for operation with the 13CA.

When terminating the DCOMMS communications session, do this fromMonitor mode of operation by selecting Quit (F1O).

DCOMMS will prompt you to be sure that you really do want toterminate the session. Enter Y (yes) if required to quit, else N(no) to remain in DCOMMS or if you accidentally pressed F1O to beginwith (Ref. Table 18).

DCOMMS will then prompt you as to Save the updated configuration file(Ref. Table 19):

1. If you have carried out any changes to the system (NVM parameters,either through Change mode or NVinit mode) then the defaultsettings in the IBM internal database will be correspondinglymodified. Thus, it is a good idea to keep a record of thesechanges on disk file.

2. If you enter N to the prompt, then DCOMMS will abort to DOSwithout saving the information (this can later be retrieved byusing NVinit function F3, and terminating session using the saveconfiguration file option).

If YOU enter Y to the ~rom~t, then DCOMMS will prompt YOU for acon~iguration filename; At this point, you should enter a dif-ferent filename to the one entered at the very start of DCOMMSinvocation (from the Enter station prompt) if you want to maintainthe previous configuration; else if you do want to overwrite theexisting configuration file then enter the same filename as theone you started with.

In response to entering a valid filename, DCOMMS will reconstructa configuration file, writing to it all parameter and screeninformation. This file can at a subsequent time be used as thestarting filename for DCOMMS at the Enter station prompt. As thefile is written, an indication of progress is indicated by aparameter counter in the prompt field. This may take a littletime, as DCOMMS will be performing quite a bit of data manipula-tion, data conversion and file manipulation, be patient.

DCOMMS will then prompt, “Do You want another run?”. An Y responsewill return you to the DCOMMS-monitor mode. An N response willabort DCOMMS and return the system to DOS prompt (see Table 20).

3.

4.

5.

Depressing Ctrl-Alt-Del resets the computer and aborts everything(standard IBM/DOS).

Pressing Ctrl-S suspends screen update (standard DOS).

Pressing Ctrl-P sends subsequent screen data to assigned printerport until Ctrl-P is pressed again. Note that if printer is notconnected then standard DOS will print screen error message andruin the DCOMMS display.

Ctrl-NumLock suspends system operation until any other characterkey is pressed (standard DOS). Thus, if used, this will freezethe DCOMMS operation.

Shift-PrtSc sends a copy of what is currently displayed on thescreen to the printer. If printer is not attached, the systemwill eventually (many seconds) timeout and resume operation,though in intervening period, all system activity is suspended.
