Evaporative Cooler
The evaporative cooler's sump levels, water flow, and air temperature are monitored by
the control system. If a low or high sump level, or low water flow, or a low air temperature
is sensed, an alarm will be annunciated by the control system.
The evaporative cooler in the air inlet system increases the mass flow of air passing
through the engine. Overcoming the effects of high ambient temperatures and low relative
humidity increases turbine power, decreases fuel consumption, and reduces the emissions
of nitrogen oxides in the turbine exhaust.
When the OFF/AUTO switch, located on the evaporative cooler, is in AUTO position and
the evaporative cooler is Enabled and Auto mode is selected from the display system, a
unit start initiation will activate the Evaporative cooler control. The Evaporative cooler will
activate when adequate sump water level and air inlet temperature are met. Once water
flow is sensed, the [EVAP ON] will highlight.
When the OFF/AUTO switch is in AUTO position, and the unit is shut down, the
Evaporative cooler control can be activated manually from display. The operator must first
Enable the evaporative cooler from the display system and then place the evaporative
cooler into Manual mode from the display system. The Evaporative cooler will activate
when adequate sump water level and air inlet temperature are met. Once water flow is
sensed, the [EVAP ON] will highlight.
For more information, refer to the evaporative cooler manufacturer's data provided in
Supplementary Data.
The Alarm Summary display screen, Figure 1.2.34, is selected from the Menu display
screen by touching the onscreen Alarm Summary button. The Alarm Summary display
screen shows acknowledged and unacknowledged alarm and shutdown codes and
descriptions. The alarms and shutdowns are listed in chronological order with the most
recent alarm or shutdown at the top. Each alarm and shutdown appears, with a brief
description, along with the date and time the alarm or shutdown occurred.
Alarms are displayed in yellow and begin with AL, and shutdowns are displayed in red
and begin with FL, FN, CL, or CN. Alarms and shutdowns that are inactive appear in
green. Unacknowledged alarms and shutdowns appear with black lettering on a colored
background. Acknowledged alarms and shutdowns appear with colored lettering on a
black background. Acknowledged alarms and shutdowns remain on the display screen
until the RESET Switch is pressed.
If more alarms and shutdowns have occurred than will fit on one page, the additional
alarms and shutdowns can be viewed by pressing the PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN keys on
the keypad or using the cursor to move the scroll bar at the right of the display screen.
Upon power-up of the display computer, all alarms in the alarms display screen that
occurred prior to startup are displayed as active. Alarms on the display screen are
time-stamped with the time the computer rebooted (not the time the alarm occurred). This
condition continues until an acknowledge/reset operation occurs.
The Event Log display screen, Figure 1.2.35, is selected from the Menu display screen
by touching the onscreen Event Log button. The Event Log display screen shows data
captured whenever a discrete parameter changes state or an alarm or shutdown occurs.
For example, a pump turns on, a valve closes, or an alarm limit has been reached. This
screen is useful for troubleshooting and should be used as a supplement to the Alarm
Summary and Alarm Log display screens.
When new alarms are generated, the first place they should be viewed is from the Alarm
Summary display screen. The Alarm Summary display screen lists alarms in the order
received by the display, and includes a time/date stamp of when the display recorded the
alarm.
Events are listed in chronological order with the most recent event appearing at the top.
Each event appears with a brief description and the date and time the event occurred.
Active status events appear with green or white text on a black background. Inactive
status events will appear with black text on a white or green background. Alarms are
yellow in color, and shutdowns are red. Inactive alarms and shutdowns are gray in
color. Unacknowledged alarms and shutdowns appear with black lettering on a colored
background. Acknowledged alarms and shutdowns appear with colored lettering on a
black background. Acknowledged alarms and shutdowns remain on the display screen
until reset.
If more events have occurred than can be seen on one page, the additional events can be
viewed by pressing the PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN keys on the keypad or using the cursor
to move the scroll bar at the right of the display screen.
NOTE
1. Double-clicking the column heading will sort the column
alphabetically. To sort in reverse alphabetical order,
double-click the column heading a second time.
The Alarm Log display screen, Figure 1.2.36, is selected from the Menu display screen
by touching the onscreen Alarm Log button. The Alarm Log display screen shows a log of
alarm and shutdowns in the order detected by the controller. The alarms and shutdowns
are listed in chronological order with the most recent alarm or shutdown at the top. Each
alarm and shutdown appears, with a brief description, along with the date and time the
alarm or shutdown occurred. This screen is helpful for troubleshooting and should be used
as a supplement to the Alarm Summary display screens. If more alarms have been logged
than can fit on one page, touch the scroll bar to the right of the list of alarms and shutdowns.
When new alarms are generated, the first place they should be viewed is from the Alarm
Summary display screen. The Alarm Summary display screen lists alarms in the order
received by the display, and includes a time/date stamp of when the display recorded the
alarm.
To update the current list, select another display screen and then reselect the Alarm Log
display screen.
Alarms and shutdowns that are inactive appear in gray. Unacknowledged alarms and
shutdowns appear with black lettering on a colored background. Acknowledged alarms
and shutdowns appear with colored lettering on a black background.
If more events have occurred than can be seen on one page, the additional events can be
viewed by pressing the PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN keys on the keypad or using the cursor
to move the scroll bar at the right of the display screen.
NOTE
1. Double-clicking the column heading will sort the column
alphabetically. To sort in reverse alphabetical order,
double-click the column heading a second time.
The Constants display screen, Figure 1.2.37, lists the first 250 control system programming
constants. This display screen allows the first 250 control system programming constant
values to be changed.
Use the following procedure to select and change programming constant values.
1. Position the cursor to the desired programming constant and double click the left
mouse key to select it. To select a parameter not shown on the list, use the PAGE
UP/PAGE DOWN keys on the numeric/control keypad or use the cursor to move
the scroll bar at the right of the display screen.
2. When a parameter is selected, the Set Point Value Pop-Up Window, Figure
1.2.38, will appear. The Set Point Pop-Up Window requires a user name and
password to be entered before a constant value can be changed.
3. Enter new programming constant value within displayed allowable range. The
program will reject values outside the range
NOTE
Double-clicking the column heading will sort the column
alphabetically. To sort in reverse alphabetical order,
double-click the column heading a second time.
The Strip Chart display screen, Figure 1.2.39, is selected from the Menu display screen
by touching the onscreen Strip Chart button. The Strip Chart display screen shows an
emulation of a strip-chart recorder with a configurable number of pens to monitor analog
variables. Pens are lines and/or symbols used to represent values. The values can be
monitored tags or constant values. Pens can be different colors with different weights and
symbols to help easily distinguish between multiple pens.
The strip chart shows raw, real time data. To change the scale on the strip chart to match
the desired variable (Npt, Ngp, and T5 Avg for example), touch the variable in the legend
below the chart. The legends located at the bottom of the display screen continually
displays the pens or tags used and their values.
Legend, located at the bottom of the display screen, is a display of the selected pen(s)
and their values.
Y-Axis Scale, located at the right of the plot area, is the pen minimum and maximum range
values selected in the legend.
