8 Fuel System

8.1General Description

The fuel system (Figure 12), in conjunction with the control system, includes all necessary components to control ignition and fuel flow during all modes of operation. There are two available configurations:

Gas fuel – conventional combustion

Gas fuel – SoLoNOx combustion

Figure 12. Typical Fuel System Schematic8.1.1Conventional Combustion System

Solar’s conventional combustion system uses fuel injectors equally spaced around the combustor to inject fuel into the combustion chamber. The fuel injected into the combustion chamber is controlled during starting and steady-state operation to maintain stable combustion.

8.1.2SoLoNOx Combustion System

The SoLoNOx combustion system uses special fuel injectors with main and pilot fuel ports. The fuel injected through these ports is controlled during starting and steady-state operation to maintain stable combustion and minimize the formation of nitrous oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and unburned hydrocarbon (UHC) emissions. To further regulate emission levels, combustion airflow is regulated using a bleed valve mounted on the combustor case. The SoLoNOx combustion system also includes an additional inlet gas filter/coalescer for mounting offskid.

8.1.3Fuel System

For conventional combustion, the fuel system includes:

Supply pressure transmitter

Pilot air operated primary gas fuel shutoff valve
