Black start Operation of GT Driven Compressor
Black start Operation of GT Driven Compressor
(OP)
Can anyone describe the typical black start operation and control philosophy of GT driven Compressor. Also, please suggest any reading material for greater understanding.

So... the emergency DC Lube oil pump is used AND there is an alternator (convert DC to AC) to drive the sparkplugs
when the speed reaches about 40% the main lube oil pump and cooling water pump and fin-fan coolers (packaged units) are driven by the auxiliary gearbox and normal operation resumes.
google black-start and plenty of documents show up.

Where does a GT-driven compressor fit into the black start situation?

at operating speed the accessory gear box drives all the auxiliaries: main lube oil, hydraulic pump, cooling fans.
this technology is very old... today the higher power outputs require external electrical supply mostly for the cooling water system.
Lube oil/Control oil still driven by accessory gearbox.

Different makers have different philosphies on cooling, lubrication, operations and control, and of course there is the application and configuration of the system.
You may have some luck by contacting Rolls Royce at their site. They tend to make a lot of educational materials available.
