1.3 Performance of service and maintenance measures
Gas generator, power turbine and coupling may only be replaced oraligned under instruction by a representative of MAN TURBO AG, sincespecial knowledge is required for the performance of these measures.This also applies to the performance of repair work on internal baseengine parts.Service and maintenance work which is not described in thedocumentation supplied may only be carried out by persons with specialqualification and skills to whom adequate information is available. Lackinginformation may be requested from the competent contact for the plantunit with the After Sales Service of MAN TURBO AG.
1.4 Cleanliness
Care has to be taken to ensure that dust, dirt, locking elements or otherforeign objects do not get into the gas turbine. Should this ever happen,the service and maintenance activity must be interrupted until therespective objects have been found, even if this requires a considerableinput of cost and time.Suitable plugs, caps or other covers are to be used for the protection of allnon-covered openings. Protective caps for open pipes shall not be placedinside but on top of the pipe ends in order to prevent their being installedunintentionally. Use of adhesive tape is not permitted (see Section 1.5 Impact of adhesive tape [ 1 | 3] ).Anti-corrosion agents, applied for the storage of component parts, as well
as dirt and packaging material shall be carefully removed prior toinstallation of a part. Suitable solvents shall be used for the removal ofanti-corrosion agents.After completion of service and maintenance work, especially the intakearea is to be thoroughly checked for foreign objects which might, forexample, get into the gas path of the base engine.
1.5 Impact of adhesive tape
Investigations have shown that remainders of adhesive tape oncomponent parts with increasing temperature attack the surface and
reduce the expansion capability. Remainders of adhesive tape are to beremoved carefully, before a component part is installed and exposed tohigh temperatures.
1.6 Consumables
During each assembly operation all seals and rubber parts are to bereplaced. Prior to installation, non-metallic new parts have to be checkedfor indications of damage resulting from extended periods of storage.Consumables, such as for example locking wire, locking washers, lockingplates, split pins, etc., must not be reused.

1.7 Examination of component parts
Prior to installation of a component part it has to be checked whether thepart to be installed is correct and undamaged. Use of incorrect ordamaged component parts or of other than original parts not procuredfrom MAN TURBO AG may result in failure or major damage to the plantunit.During disassembly of component parts watch out for indications of wear,burns or other undesirable changes.
1.8 Identification of component parts
During disassembly note the installation location of each individual part forease of reinstallation. Mark the parts, if necessary, taking the followingnotes into account.Damaged component parts or subassemblies which cannot be reused areto be marked with a tag in order to avoid unintentional installation.The internal parts of gas generator and/or power turbine shall only bemarked using special pens. We recommend using the glass chromium penby Messrs Stade or a silver pen by Messrs Faber for the marking ofcomponent parts.
1.9 Storage of spare parts
As a rule, spare parts procured from MAN TURBO AG are packaged andpreserved for storage according to requirements.Spare parts shall be stored in a room at constant temperature between 15
and 25C. The relative humidity must not exceed 70%. Temperaturevariations are to be limited to max. 1C per hour.Anti-friction bearings are delivered in the manufacturer's originalpackaging. As a rule, the maximum storage period is 2 years. After this,exchange the parts if preservation proves too expensive.Component parts from rubber-like materials, e.g. shaft sealing rings, O-rings, flexible nozzles, vibration dampers, V-belts, etc. have to beprotected from light and seal-welded into black film. Check these partsannually for elasticity and brittleness. The maximum storage period is 5years or less, depending on the instructions by the respectivemanufacturer. For this reason, these parts are to be marked with the dateof storage to permit checking.Stored component parts with metallic surfaces are to be checked annually.The preservation of machined surfaces has to be touched up, ifnecessary. Bright, metallic surfaces are to be greased.Stored component parts shall be identified with the material number ofMAN TURBO AG and recorded in an inventory list.
1.10 Performance of welding work
If welding work is carried out in the area of the GT base frame, properearthing must be ensured in order to avoid damage to the electrical

1.14 Use of SWAGELOK adapters
In the gas turbine area SWAGELOK adapters are used with a maximumdiameter of 25 mm since pre-assembly tools are not necessary up to this
size. SWAGELOK adapters can be loosened and re-tightened severaltimes without any of the parts shown in the illustration below having to beexchanged.
SWAGELOK adapter
1 Cap nut 3 Front clamping ring
2 Rear clamping ring 4 Body
If an adapter has to be exchanged or installed all the same, take care toensure that the pipe end is rectangular and free from burs. Remnantsfrom burs and other contaminations must not get into the piping. Thefollowing procedure has to be observed:
1. Insert the pipe into the assembled SWAGELOK adapter. Make surethat the pipe has been introduced into the adapter up to the stop andthe cap nut tightened "finger-tight".
2. Prior to tightening the cap nut mark it in 6 o'clock position.3. While holding the body with a wrench tighten the cap nut by 1-1/4 turns.
Note that the marking has to be turned further up to 9 o'clock positionafter one complete turn.

1 | 8 - 19 MAN TURBO AG
NOTE
Use of sealants.Sealants must not be applied to SWAGELOK adapters.
On SWAGELOK adapters the measurement of tightening torques is not asuitable means for checking the tightening. Merely the 1-1/4 turn of thecap nut is the correct measure for adequate tightening. If the referencegauge fits between the cap nut and the body hexagon, the adapter has notbeen tightened sufficiently. If it does not fit, the adapter has been tightenedsufficiently.
1.15 Use of thread sealing tape and thread sealant
1.15.1 Thread sealing tape
NOTEUse of thread sealing tape.Thread sealing tape may only be used for tapered male threads. Usefor connections with flanges, cones or pipe unions is not allowed.
For tapered male threads with a diameter of 1/8", 1/4" and 3/8" a threadsealing tape with a width of 1/4" is to be used. For a larger thread a tapeof " width is to be used. The following procedure has to be observed:
1. Clean the male and female threads in order to remove any anti-seizecompound or sealing residues.
2. Starting on the first flight, wind the sealing tape with slight overlaparound the thread in threading direction. For tapered threads fromspecial steel, winding the tape twice around the thread isrecommended.
3. Make sure that the tape does not protrude beyond the first turn of thethread, since otherwise it might break and get into the structuralcomponent.
4. Protruding sealing tape has to be cut off. The tape, especially theoverlapping ends, shall be pressed against the thread.
1.15.2 Thread sealants
NOTE
Use of thread sealants.Thread sealants may only be used for tapered male threads. Use forcable glands is not permitted.
Prior to the application of thread sealant the whole thread has to becleaned from oil, grease and other impurities. The thread sealant is to beapplied to the second and third flights.

1.16 Storage and installation of hoses
NOTE
Open hose ends.Open ends of stored hoses have to be capped or plugged in order toprevent any accumulation of dirt in the hose interior. The service life of a hose largely depends on the correct installation.The following has to be observed for the installation of hoses:
1. Hoses shall be reeled and unreeled as shown in the followingillustration "Reeling and unreeling of hoses".
2. Check prior to installation that the hose interior is free from dirt. As aprecautionary measure blow the hose through with compressed air priorto installation.
3. As a rule, the hoses are equipped with one loose and one fixed hoseconnection fitting. The fixed hose connection fitting always has to betightened first to prevent torsional stress.
4. Always use a wrench as dolly to avoid co-rotation of the connectionmating piece or damage to the piping to be connected.
5. External straining of the hose by chafing on edges, surfaces or on theground has to be avoided, as the service life may be reducedconsiderably by bending or by reduction of the wall thickness.
6. During installation care must be taken that the minimum bending radiusspecified in the table below is maintained.
7. Attachment of a hose in the way such as illustrated in "Inadmissibleattachment of hose" is not permissible.

1.18 Snap rings
Suitable pliers are to be used for the installation of snap rings. Internalsnap rings must not be pressed together beyond the point where the endsof the rings meet. External snap rings must only be expanded to such anextent that installation is possible without bending the rings. Afterinstallation it has to be ensured that the snap ring rests firmly in the grooveand is neither loose nor deformed. Deformed snap rings have to bereplaced.Chamfered snap rings additionally serve for absorbing the toleranceclearance of the structural component to be retained. Such snap ringshave a chamfer of 15 on one side. Chamfered snap rings may only beinserted in correspondingly chamfered grooves. The non-chamfered sideis to be directed towards the structural component to be retained.
1.19 Use of lockwire
NOTE
Use of lockwire.The use of lockwire which has been in use before, which is bent ordamaged is not admissible.
No other than the lockwire supplied by MAN TURBO AG shall be used.
The bores for the lockwire are to be aligned as shown in the followingillustrations. During alignment the specified tightening torques must not beexceeded. Subsequently, the lockwire is to be fitted as shown. The end ofthe lockwire has to be bent over to avoid any hazard of injuries.In THM gas turbine units lockwires with a diameter of 0.8 (material no.S0293782) and 1.25 mm (material no. S0293781) are used.In FT8 gas turbine units lockwire of material no. TAS3214-02 is mainlyused.

2.1 System-related information
2.1.1 Design and function of base engineGas generator and LP turbine are the core components of the gas turbineunit. They are collectively referred to as base engine which is mounted ona base frame.
2.1.2 Functional principle
The THM is a twin-shaft gas turbine operating according to theconventional simple principle of combustion at constant pressure.This principle (see the figure below) comprises the following steps: Adiabatic compression of air (i.e. without exchange of heat) in an axial-
centrifugal compressor. Combustion of a mixture at constant pressure in two combustion
chambers. The mixture consists of the air discharged from thecompressor and the fuel (liquid fuel or fuel gas) which is routed to thecombustion chambers via nozzles.
Initial expansion of the pressurized hot gases from the combustionchambers takes place in a two-stage backpressure turbine which isreferred to as high-pressure turbine (HP turbine) and which is used fordrive of the axial-centrifugal compressor.
Secondary expansion of the hot gases leaving the HP turbine takes
place in a second backpressure turbine which is referred to as low-pressure turbine or power turbine (LP turbine or PT). This turbinesupplies the energy required for driving a processing machine (e.g.pipeline compressor or electric generator) via a shaft that is notconnected to the HP turbine of the gas generator.

2.2 Gas generator
2.2.1 Design and function of gas generator
The compressor, the combustion chamber section, and the HP turbine arethe main components of the gas generator and are shown along with othercomponents in the following figure.The gas generator generates the energy required for drive of the powerturbine.Having passed through the compressor, the air drawn in enters the V-shaped combustion chambers where it is mixed and burnt with the fuel.Via a gas collector the hot exhaust gases reach the two-stage HP turbinewhich drives the compressor of the gas generator. The surplus exhaustgas energy is transferred further to the power turbine (LP turbine). Part ofthe air from the compressor is also used for cooling the combustionchambers and turbines.Ignition is made by two igniters operating independently from each other.Subsequently, combustion is self-sustaining.Fuel supply to the gas generator is adjusted by means of a control valvewith reference to the power requirement.
2.2.2 Modular design of gas generator
The following figure illustrates the modular design of the gas generator ofa THM 1304 gas turbine unit with standard combustion chambers. Themodular design of a THM permits the exchange of all modules inside theacoustic enclosure with only few equipment needed.

2.2.3.1 Compressor inlet casingThe compressor inlet casing is a single-part casing with four hollow strutswhich interconnect the inner and outer casings. The inlet casingaccommodates the GG front bearing for supporting the rotor. Furthercomponents of the inlet casing are 18 inlet guide vanes (IGV's) with anassociated adjusting mechanism / actuator (see figure below).The first stator blade / guide vane row of the GG compressor on the THM1304 is of adjustable design in order to allow control of the air flow rate(especially during start-up and rundown as well as during turndown). Thiscontrol feature makes it possible to achieve an optimum GG compressorefficiency throughout the total speed range.Actuation of the adjusting mechanism by means of an electrically operatedstepping motor is initiated by the GT control system as a function of theGG speed.

BladingIdentification of the compressor stages had to be adapted in the course offurther development of the THM 1304 as the compressor capacity wascontinuously increased by adding stages 000, 00 and 0. All compressorblades are provided with an anti-corrosion coating. Teflon segments arescrewed to the tips of the stator blades of stages 000, 00, 0, 1 and 2. Thelabyrinth strips at the rotor discs of the compressor rotor work into theTeflon in the course of the first operating hours.This kind of sealing makes it possible to minimize clearances and thus tokeep the performance and/or efficiency losses low. The discs (into whichthe blades are inserted in dovetail grooves), the radial flow impeller andthe shaft ends of the rotorare held together by 13 tie bolts.
Blow-off and cooling systemUnder certain operating conditions compressor air has to be removed viablow-off valves in order to prevent surging of the compressor. For thispurpose, the compressor stator blade carrier is fitted with radially runninggrooves between the 2nd and 3rd as well as between the 5th and 6thstages, via which the compressor air is routed into two annular ducts.Depending on the type of machine, the drawn-off air is discharged via twoor three blow-off valves installed on top of the GG main casing. The blow-off valves installed on the bottom GG main casing half (one or two,depending on the machine type) serve to remove the compressor air fromthe last stage. For further information about the arrangement and purposeof the blow-off valves please refer to the description of the blow-off andinstrument air system.
2.2.3.3 Gas collectorThe gas collector guides the hot exhaust gases from the combustionchamber into the HP turbine. The gas collector is cooled from outside withthe air that has been routed before via the smoothing chamber into thecombustion chambers for cooling of the flame tubes. The lower section ofthe gas collector accommodates a drain connection.

bolts.Sealing of the HP turbine rotor is by honeycomb seals. In the courseof the first operating hours, the labyrinth strips mounted on the rotorblades and on the turbine disc work into the honeycomb seals. This kind ofsealing keeps the clearances and as such the performance and efficiencylosses very low.
For inspection of the hot gas parts, one carrier half can be removed (afterhaving shifted apart the gas generator and the power turbine).
2.2.3.6 Support of the GG rotorThe GG rotor is supported by two hydrodynamic tilting pad sleevebearings. With this bearing type, the lube oil pressure required forsupporting the shaft is generated by the rotary movement of the GG rotor.With increasing speed, more and more oil is transferred from the contactsurface of the shaft into the lubricating gap. As a result, the oil pressure inthe lubricating gap increases until the shaft floats on the lube oil film.
The GG front bearing comprises one axial thrust, axial backpressure andsleeve-type radial bearing each. During start-up the backpressure bearingabsorbs the axial force acting opposite to the direction of flow. At higherspeeds, the conditions of the axially acting forces change and the rotor ispressed against the thrust bearing in the direction of flow.Sealing towards the compressor space at the rear end of the GG frontbearing is made via a floating ring sliding on the shaft end of the GG rotorand via a labyrinth seal. The required seal air is routed from the inner areaof the compressor rotor to the labyrinth seal through bores.Thrust and backpressure bearings are formed by 12 ball-supported tilting
pads each. The sleeve bearing which serves for absorption of the radiallyacting forces consists of five tilting pads.The GG rear bearing like the GG front bearing is of two-part design, butconsists of one sleeve bearing only, the design of which is similar to that ofthe GG front bearing. Contrary to the GG front bearing, sealing at bothends of the bearing is made via floating rings and labyrinth seals. The sealair is routed through the inner area of the compressor rotor and throughbores to the labyrinth seals.Supply of lube oil to the GG front bearing is made through a lineconnected to the GG inlet casing. Through internal ducts and lines, the oil
is fed into the annulus of the bearing and injected there through five boreslocated between the tilting pads of the sleeve-type radial bearing. The oilthen gravitates from the bearing over the lower strut of the GG inlet casinginto the lube oil tank.The line for lube oil supply to the GG rear bearing is connected to thelower GG main casing half in the rear area. The oil is injected in the sameway as on the GG front bearing through a hose and internal ducts insidethe gas generator. By gravitational force the oil flows into a collectingchamber and from there through a hose that is also inside the gasgenerator back into the lube oil tank. Details about the instruments on theGG bearings and on the rear GG bearing housing will be found in thedescription of the base engine instrumentation.

Sealing towards the LP turbine at the front end of the LP front bearing iseffected via a floating ring which slides on the shaft end of the LP rotorand via a labyrinth seal. There is no sealing at the rear end of the LP frontbearing. The cooling air from the space between the two LP turbine discsis used as seal air for the labyrinth seal. On the LP rear bearing a floating
ring and/or labyrinth seal is not installed.Supply of lube oil to the two LP bearings is made through a line connectedto the LP rear bearing housing. Part of the oil flows directly into the LP rearbearing while the remaining oil flows to the LP front bearing through aninternal line connecting the two bearings. Oil injection in the bearing ismade in the same way as on the GG bearings. The oil from the LP frontbearing then gravitates into the internal casing of the LP main casing.Approximately half of the oil from the LP rear bearing also flows into theinternal casing while the remaining oil flows into the coupling guard. Theoil then returns through the line connected to the internal casing and/or to
the coupling guard into the lube oil tank.The description of the base engine instrumentation includes information onthe instruments that are installed on the bearings and/or the rear bearinghousing.

WARNING
Hazard of personal injury and damage to property.Work on base engine components may only be carried outduring standstill and after a cool-down period of severalhours. Prior to performance of service and maintenancemeasures the following Sections shall be observed.
3.1.3 Inspection
Routine inspections and walk-around checks have to be carried outregularly. Additionally, an annual major inspection of the described systemis recommended.
Routine inspections / walk-around checks [ 1 | 19]
Checking of major functional component parts and protective
equipment [ 1 | 19]3.2 Speed measurement (nGG, nPT)
3.2.1 Design and function
The main components for speed measurement are 4 inductive speedsensors, and 2 overspeed protection relays installed in the GT controlcabinet.The two speed sensors envisaged for monitoring the GG rotor areinstalled on the auxiliary gearbox. The two speed sensors envisaged formonitoring the PT rotor are installed in the rear PT bearing location.The speed sensors generate a frequency proportional to the number ofimpulses. In the case of the gas generator the impulses are generated bymeans of a gear wheel (number of teeth = 50) which is fixed to theauxiliary gearbox. In the case of the power turbine the impulses aregenerated by means of a shaft toothing (number of teeth = 60).Two speed signals are picked up for each rotor (GG, PT); one of thesesignals is processed by the GT control system and the other one by theoverspeed protection relay. The sensor cabling is routed through a rib ofthe GG inlet casing or the PT main casing via a terminal box installed onthe GT base frame to the GT control panel.

3.3 Inlet temperature measurement on power turbine (T4)
3.3.1 Design and function
The main component parts of PT inlet temperature measurement are 8double thermocouples, 10 temperature measuring transducers and oneevaluation unit (component part of the GT controller).
Measurement serves amongst others for monitoring the ignition process,for protecting the gas turbine unit against overfiring and for measuringindividual and averaged values which are necessary for control of the gasturbine unit.Two thermal e.m.f's are generated for each thermocouple, one serves fordetermining the individual values and the other for average valuegeneration. Average value generation is made by means of thetemperature measuring transducers.Arrangement of the thermocouples in the LP1 stator blade carrier casingof the power turbine is shown in the figure below. There is a total of 12ports in the LP1 casing; 4 of these are closed by blind flanges and are notidentified by a number in the figure below.

3.3.2 Exchange of T4 thermocouple
NOTE
Note concerning installation.When installing the T4 thermocouple take special notice of the groovein the thermocouple cartridge and the tongue of the T4 thermocouplewhich is visible when looking into the cap nut. The tongue and grooveensure that the openings in the area of the thermocouple tip point inthe direction of flow and the T4 temperature can thus be measuredcorrectly.
Observe Section 3.1.2 Safety information [ 2 | 3] .1. Loosen the cable ends of the T4 thermocouples to be exchanged in the
terminal box.2. Loosen the cap nut of the T4 thermocouple on the LP1 stator blade
carrier casing.Note: The screws of the T4 protection sleeve need not be loosened.
3. Install the T4 thermocouple.4. Tighten the cap nut.
Note: Observe the tightening torque in Chapter General service andmaintenance information.
5. Connect the cable ends of the T4 thermocouple in the terminal box.

3.4 Vibration measurement
3.4.1 Design and function
4 inductive proximity sensors (vibration pick-ups), 4 signal transducers andelectronic cards are installed to monitor the vibrations of the GG and PTrotors.The two sensors for monitoring the GG rotor vibration are installed in thefront GG bearing section and the PT vibration sensors in the rear PTbearing section (see figures in Section 3.1.1 Design and function [ 3 | 1]). The sensor cabling is routed through a rib of the GG inlet casing and thePT main casing to the signal transducers.Due to the radial movement of the rotor the oscillating circuit created bythe sensor coil is dampened considerably, i.e. the cyclic stress is greatlyreduced. The generated negative voltage signal is proportional to thedistance between sensor and shaft.The measured signals are transmitted by the signal transducers to thevibration monitor in the GT control cabinet where they are evaluated andindicated. If a limit value is exceeded, either an alarm is issued or trippinginitiated.

3.5 Phase angle measurement
3.5.1 Design and function
Phase angle measurement comprises 2 keyphasor sensors, 2 signaltransducers and, depending on the design, either 1 or 2 electronic card(s).One keyphasor each is located in the front GG bearing section and one inthe rear PT bearing section (see figures in Section 3.1.1 Design andfunction [ 3 | 1] ). The sensor cabling is routed through a rib of the GGinlet casing and the PT main casing to the signal transducers. Theelectronic cards for evaluation are a component part of the vibrationmonitor which is installed in the GT control cabinet.The keyphasor is a position transducer or a capacitive proximity sensorwhich once every revolution generates a voltage signal via a square bar orpin fastened on the GG or PT shaft; this signal is transmitted to thevibration monitor via a signal transducer. The keyphasor signal serves forillustrating the relation between speed and vibration frequency.
3.6 Bearing temperature measurement
3.6.1 Design and function
Bearing temperature measurement comprises 12 thermocouples and 6temperature transducers.Each bearing is provided with 2 thermocouples; one of these is connectedto a temperature transducer and the other - which is routed to themeasuring transducer - serves as standby and is connected only in the
event of failure of a thermocouple.The thermocouple is passed through a bore in the tilting pad of thebearing. Cabling of the thermocouples is routed through a rib of the GGinlet casing or the PT main casing to the GT control panel via terminalboxes.
3.7 Wear measurement on thrust bearing
3.7.1 Design and function
Wear measurement on the thrust bearing comprises 4 capacitive proximity
sensors and 4 signal amplifiers (proximitors).Two sensors each for monitoring axial wear on the thrust bearing arearranged in the front GG bearing section and in the rear PT bearingsection (see figures in Section 3.1.1 Design and function [ 3 | 1] ).The sensor cabling is routed through a rib of the GG inlet casing and thePT main casing to the signal transducers.The electronic cards for evaluation are a component part of the vibrationmonitor which is installed in the GT control cabinet.Due to the axial movement of the rotor the oscillating circuit created by thesensor coil is dampened considerably, i.e. the cyclic stress is greatly

4 Fuel gas system
4.1 System-related information
4.1.1 Design and functionThe fuel gas system mainly comprises: trip and vent valves; fuel gas filter;monitoring instruments (e.g. for pressure, temperature, etc.) as well as onefuel gas metering valve.The fuel gas system operating in conjunction with the GT control systemsupplies the gas turbine with fuel gas during start-up and subsequentoperation. Further, it warrants immediate isolation of fuel gas feedespecially in the case of a trip (e.g. due to overtemperature and overspeedconditions or component malfunctions).The fuel gas flows through a fuel gas filter and trip valve(s) to the fuel gasmetering valve. The fuel gas flow rate is regulated in line with theoperating condition and the gas turbine power setting and routed to thetwo combustion chambers.In the event of a gas turbine unit trip, the fuel gas trip valve is closed, thevent valve is opened and the fuel gas present in the pipes is dischargedthrough vent pipes.
4.1.2 Fuel gas specification
4.1.2.1 General
This fuel gas specification defines the requirements for gaseous fuels tobe used in THM gas turbines. Natural gases with a methane content ofmore than 80% by volume are used by preference. Generally, the limitvalues for physical and chemical properties listed in the table below haveto be adhered to.Gaseous fuels which do not correspond to the limit values given in thetable may possibly be approved for THM gas turbines nonetheless. Forthis, however, the technical department of MAN TURBO AG has to make adetailed assessment of these values. By special protective measurescarried out on gas turbine components it may become permissible to
exceed individual limits. In the case of gas turbines which are equippedwith Dry-Low-NOx (DLN) combustion chambers further limit values have tobe observed to ensure trouble-free operation.When assessing the gas analysis especially those substances have to beconsidered which can lead to corrosion, e.g. alkaline metals (sodium,potassium, etc.) or sulphur compounds so that adequate steps can betaken for minimising corrosion in the gas turbine or the fuel system.In addition to assessment of the gas analysis and of impurities containedin the fuel gas envisaged for operation customer is urgently recommendedto set up a suitable system for fuel supply and conditioning as well as formonitoring the fuel gas quality.

The table specifies limit values for the concentration of various impurities.Further possible sources of impurities are the inlet air, and, if applicable,the water which is injected into the combustion chamber. The limit valuesin the table are valid on the assumption that additional impurities will notbe added through air or water. If, however, this should be the case, the
limit values for fuel gas have to be reduced for each component as shownin the following formula:
C max,corrected = C max, table - AFR x C air - WFR x C water
Cmax,corrected = Corrected max. permissible concentration
Cmax, table = Maximum permissible concentration from the table
Cair = Expected concentration in the airCwater = Expected concentration in the injection water
AFR = Mass flow ratio air to fuel (typically approx. 60 : 1)
