steam turbine control descriptive names?

steam turbine control descriptive names?

steam turbine control descriptive names?

(OP)
I am only familiar with only one OEM and the nomenclature they used to discribe things (pre digital also). I have an interesting discription that is currently being used by another company. the control function performed by the digital processor that I would call the "speed load governor" is being called "turbine fuel control."

I have asked if they were confusing with combustion turbine, but they say this is use to discribe steam turbine speed load governor. Does any one else use this phrase?
 

RE: steam turbine control descriptive names?

Haven't seen it on Westinghouse, English Electric / GEC, or Parsons sets.

Seems a little odd - is the manufacturer from an English-speaking nation or is it perhaps a poor translation which has become lodged in the OEM manuals 'forever'?

It is a new company in US that performs control upgrades.

this is just one of my concerns trying to read their recomendations to replace a vintage anolog system.

Thanks

RE: steam turbine control descriptive names?

Hmm, knowing the difference between fuel and steam seems pretty fundamental. Are you sure you want these guys to replace the control system...?

I WAS just sitting in, till this proposal came out for review.  I gave my comments today, and I'm not sure I'll be asked again ;)
