steam turbine control descriptive names? 1

[byrdj]

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?

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

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
