Background
As stated in Interim Change Notes (ICN), it is critical that the hot restart procedure follows a specific
sequence to avoid major engine damage. The basic objective is to cool the high pressure turbine rotor
(HPTR) and high pressure compressor rotor (HPCR) so blade tips maintain clearance with the more rapidly
cooling cases.
Some PGT25 / LM2500 gas generators experienced shaft locking events on a restart attempt following a trip
from high power. The photos below show examples of engine damage caused by an anomalous case
cooling, found excessive with respect to the rotor cooling.
Damages to blades Damages to cases
SOFTWARE MODIFICATION – SHUTDOWN AND HOT RESTART PROCEDURES (MANDATORY)
In order to avoid engine damage, new sequences are now required to allow the engine to cool after a
shutdown or during a hot restart.
The new systems are described below:
A. New Shutdown Procedure
The following types of engine shutdown may occur during engine operation, Normal shutdown and
Emergency shutdown:
Normal Shutdown:
Under normal operating condition, from whatever power the engine is running, during a normal
shutdown the unit is cooled down at minimum load and at idle; new Normal Shutdown (NS)
sequence adds further cool down motoring for 15 min @ 2000-2400 rpm that must be initiated no
later than 6 (six) minutes after Gas Generator speed (NGG) < 300 rpm.
Emergency Shutdown:
In an emergency shutdown, the engine can be shut down from any operating power. This can be
accomplished manually or automatically by control system. In this case NO cool down at idle speed
is performed. Depending on the cause of the Emergency Shutdown, the cool down motoring process
may or may be not be followed by a motoring period, depending on the following conditions:

 After an Emergency Shutdown NO MOTORING (ESN), no further action is allowed

 After an Emergency Shutdown WITH MOTORING (ES):
o If T48 < 1150°F, Motoring cool down for 15 minutes @ 2000-2400 rpm is requested.
o If T48 > 1150 °F, Motoring cool down for 15 min @ 1000-1200 rpm is requested.
In both cases, motoring must be initiated no longer than 6 (six) minutes after engine rpm NGG < 300.
B. New Restart Procedures
CAUTION: IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT THE CAUSE OF THE TRIP MUST BE DETERMINED AND RESOLVED
PRIOR TO RESTARTING THE ENGINE.
Restart may be initiated at any time if the prior shutdown sequence was normal.
Definitions:
4 HOURS LOCKOUT: Control logic that forces an engine stop for 4 hours after an emergency
shutdown at high power.
SOFT START: Hardware system that permits performing the restart procedure during lockout period.
The procedure is as follow:
o Verify HP rotor is free by manually applying less than 45 ft-lb (61 N*m) of torque on the AGB
starter shaft.
o If rotation is verified by the speed signal, then dry-motor the rotor at HP rotor speed of 1000-
1200 rpm for 20 minutes.
o After completion of 20 minutes of 1000-1200 rpm dry motoring, immediately proceed with a
normal purge and start cycle.
LOW SPEED VIBRATION CHECK:

Motoring @ 1000 to 1200 rpm (supported with monitor CRF vibration monitoring). If the CRF
vibrations are < 2 mils DA (3.19 mm/s or 50.8 microns) after motoring as described above, startup is
allowed. If the CRF vibrations exceed 2 mils DA, starting is not allowed and the low speed vibration
check must be repeated after 10 min @ 0 rpm between motoring cycles. To perform this check the
current vibrations monitoring system must be updated: the current system is not able to monitor
vibrations when the GG is running at low RPM.
After any type of emergency shutdown, it is only possible to immediately restart the engine by
following the applicable start sequences and procedures:
B.1 Restart after Normal Shutdown

After a NS (which includes 15 minutes of motoring @ 2000-2400 rpm), a normal start can be
executed at any time. If the cool down motoring fails or is not started within 6 minutes after NGG <
300 rpm, the 4 HOURS LOCKOUT logic applies in the next 4 hours and restart can be accomplished
only by following the SOFT START procedure.

SERVICE BULLETIN
NIC 13.20 Rev.00
July 05, 2013
B.2 Restart after Emergency Shutdown with Motoring (ES)

Restart after low power (T48<1150°F)
A normal start can be executed at any time if a 15 minute motoring @ 2000-2400 rpm has been
completed. If Motoring fails or it is not started into 6 minutes, 4 HRS LOCKOUT logic applies in the
next 4 hours and restart can only be accomplished by following the SOFT START procedure.
Restart after high power (T48>1150°F)
If a 15/20 min LOW SPEED VIBRATION CHECK has been performed and T48 is less than 400 °F
(204°C), a restart can be accomplished only by following the SOFT START procedure due to the 4
HOURS LOCKOUT logic applied. If T48>400 °F, a further 15/20 min low speed vibration check can be
repeated observing 10 minutes @ 0 rpm between motoring cycles.
If Motoring fails or it is not started into 6 minutes from NGG < 300 rpm, 4 HOURS LOCKOUT logic
applies for the next 4 hours and restart can be accomplished only by following the SOFT START
procedure.
CAUTION: BY-PASSING THIS LOGIC AND CRANKING THE HP ROTOR MAY RESULT IN SEVERE HP
COMPRESSOR RUBS AND MAY DAMAGE THE COMPRESSOR BLADES AND VANES.
B.3 Restart after Emergency Shutdown with NO Motoring (ESN)

In this case, the logic control system forces 4 HOURS LOCKOUT and restart of the engine can be
accomplished only by following the SOFT START procedure.
Refer to the table below for a list of ESN conditions.

List of ESN condition
If mandatory modifications stated above are not applied (motoring sequences not updated), the engine
must be considered to be in 4 HOURS LOCKOUT status after every type of shutdown (NS, ES, ESN), as
per latest O&M requirements.
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE IMPROVEMENT (OPTIONAL)
To mitigate the impact on the availability of units due to the modification of the previous sequences, GE Oil &
Gas has developed alternative ways to speed up the restart process by acting on the hydraulic starting
system (AUTOMATIC LOCKED ROTOR CHECK) or by introducing new electrical device (SLOW MOTORING).
The proposed hardware modification can be considered as optional.

These systems can be implemented separately and they are mutually independent:
1. Automatic Locked Rotor Check (SOFT START):
This device is a hardware modification to automatically apply the SOFT START procedure. It allows
verifying if the HP rotor is free, by applying less than 45 ft-lb (61 N⋅m) of torque to the AGB starter
shaft. This system is only applicable to hydraulic starting system and NOT to pneumatic starting
systems.
A solenoid damp valve, combined with a very slow flow ramp-up from hydraulic pump achieves a
slowly increasing differential pressure across the hydraulic starter, resulting in a slow increase in
torque at the hydraulic starter output shaft.
Dedicated pressure transmitters are used to verify the actual differential pressure needed to operate
the starter. By comparing it to the maximum allowed value, it is possible to verify the maximum
torque requirement.
The solution needs to be verified site by site since the presence of different pump stroke limitations,
isolation valves and/or small cooling systems can impact the items to be substituted or energized.
There are two possible options:
 Closed loop starting system

This is the typical version installed in the enclosure of older package design, where the cooler and
the tank are dedicated only to the starting system. A variable flow HP pump takes the oil directly
from the starter return line, and delivers it back to the starter inlet. The usual closed loop starting
system included manometers in place of pressure transmitters, and a solenoid valve was not used.
In this configuration, to implement the solution, the bypass Solenoid Damp Valve and pressure
transmitters (instead of manometers) are to be added to existing packages and a change in logic is
needed to introduce the Locked Rotor Check (Soft Start) logic.
5 / 11
11
SERVICE BULLETIN
NIC 13.20 Rev.00
July 05, 2013
 Open loop starting system
The typical version installed in the Package Redesign enclosures is also present in some older
packages. The pump takes oil directly from the shared oil circuit used on the Gas Turbine / load
equipment. A small pilot pump is present in place of the make-up pump. Oil is sent back to the main
circuit and common cooler/tank.
In this configuration, a by-pass valve and pressure transmitter are already present in all package
redesign version enclosures (open loop). Only a change in logic is needed to introduce Locked Rotor
Check (Soft Start) logic.
2. Slow Motoring
Slow Motoring (or Pony Motor) is a hardware/software modification to avoid the 4 HOURS LOCKOUT
sequence and shutdown motoring. The rotor is kept turning at slow speed (100 rpm) by a worm
gearbox driven by an AC motor and connected to the Accessory Gear Box through a specially
designed clutch.
6 / 11

SERVICE BULLETIN
NIC 13.20 Rev.00
July 05, 2013
After any shutdown (ES, ESN, failed NS), slow rotation must be initiated as soon as the driven
equipment comes to rest but no longer than 6 minutes after Gas Generator Speed (NGG) < 300 rpm,
otherwise engine must be considered in 4 HOURS LOCKOUT configuration.
Slow rotation at about 100 rpm can be continuously done for 4 hours. During this period SOFT START
can be performed at any time skipping free HP rotation check. After 4 hours of slow rotation a
normal start can be accomplished.
The device can be powered by either plant AC, a plant battery pack (DC) or a dedicated battery pack
(DC). An inverter is required to provide AC power to the electric motor if DC is used.
Main Features:
 Low power (~550W) aluminum casing AC motor

connected to Auxiliary Gearbox (AGB) through a
special gearbox
 Lightweight components to minimize loads on AGB
(complies with GE Aero Energy requirements)
 Suitable for operation in ATEX Zone I explosive
atmosphere
 Double protections (electronic torque feedback +
mechanical torque limiter) to limit the transmissible
torque within GE Aero Energy safe limits
 Self-disengagement of the device at engine restart
 Power supply from battery pack + Inverter to prevent
rotor lock in the event of AC loss (optional).
 GE Oil & Gas patented
Required utilities:
 Electric Motor: 550W 50Hz 400VAC or 60Hz 440VAC

 Linear Actuator: 80W 24VDC
 Position Probes: 200 mA 24VDC
The system can be supplied with a DC UCP and inverter (optional), to back-up in case of loss of AC in
the plant.
A list of the Emergency Shutdown No Motoring events can be found in Table 2. For all these events,
motoring is not allowed, and 4 HOURS LOCKOUT is mandatory if a mitigation procedure (soft start or
pony motor) is not applied.
It is understood that the cause of the trip must be determined and resolved prior to restarting the
engine.
