Abstract:
A gas turbine engine system for detecting control sensor override includes a plurality of temperature sensors coupled to the gas turbine engine system. The temperature sensors are configured to generate a plurality of signals representative of exhaust gas temperatures of the gas turbine engine. The system includes an on-site monitoring system coupled in communication to the plurality of temperature sensors. The on-site monitoring system has a processor programmed to continuously receive the plurality of signals from the temperature sensors. In addition, the processor is programed to analyze the plurality of signals to verify the accuracy of the exhaust gas temperatures associated with the plurality of signals, and to detect a jumpered temperature sensor of the plurality of temperature sensors.

Abstract:
A method of operating a fuel heating system is provided. The method includes performing pre-ignition diagnostic checks on a plurality of components of the fuel heating system, wherein at least one inlet damper and at least one outlet damper of an exhaust flow circuit are each in a closed position. The method also includes purging the fuel heating system of unburned hydrocarbons. The method further includes operating the fuel heating system in a normal operating condition. The method yet further includes operating the fuel heating system in a cool down condition, wherein the at least one inlet damper is in the closed position.
