  • integrated Testing of the full authority digital control and redundant independent mechanical start system for the u s navy s ddg 51 ship service gas turbine generator sets
    ASME 1998 International Gas Turbine and Aeroengine Congress and Exhibition, 1998
    Co-Authors: Helen J Kozuhowski, Matthew G Hoffman, David C Mako, Leonard L Overton, William E Masincup
    Abstract:

    The U.S. Navy and Allison Engine Company successfully completed a second round of Testing which integrated a new Woodward Governor Full Authority Digital Control (FADC) system for gas turbine control and a Redundant Independent Mechanical Start System (RIMSS). This integrated system will be installed on Allison Model AG9140 Ship Service Gas Turbine Generators (SSGTGs) on hull numbers DDG-86 and follow of the U.S. Navy’s Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) class destroyers.The Full Authority Digital Control (FADC) Local Operating Panel (LOCOP) will be a direct replacement of the original AG9140 LOCOP and will control both the Allison 501-K34 gas turbine and the RIMSS unit. RIMSS is a gas turbine powered, mechanically coupled start system for the SSGTGs and is designed to replace the high pressure start air system on DDG-51 class ships.This paper describes the FADC and RIMSS systems and details Phase II Testing that was conducted on the AG9140 SSGTG located at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division - Ship Systems Engineering Station (NSWCCD-SSES) DDG-51 Land Based Engineering Site (LBES), Figure 1. The Test program embodied the second portion of RIMSS Testing which included the addition of the final prototype FADC control system. The Test Agenda included electric plant operations with the FADC and a second 500 start endurance Test of RIMSS. The primary objective of Phase II Testing was to evaluate the FADC control system and to further validate engine life predictions for the RIMSS engine.Copyright © 1998 by ASME

  • phase 1 Testing of the redundant internal mechanical start system for the ship service gas turbine generator sets on the u s navy s ddg 51 class ships
    ASME 1997 Turbo Asia Conference, 1997
    Co-Authors: Dennis M Russom, William E Masincup, John Eghtessad
    Abstract:

    The Redundant Independent Mechanical Start System (RIMSS) is a gas turbine powered, mechanically coupled start system for the Allison AG9140 Ship Service Gas Turbine Generator Sets (SSGTGs) of the U.S. Navy’s DDG-51 Class ships. The system will be original equipment on DDG-86 and follow. It will also be a candidate for backfit onto earlier DDG-51 Class ships.This paper describes RIMSS and details a very successful phase of the RIMSS program. All U.S. Navy Testing was conducted on an Allison AG9140 located at the Carderock Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center-Ship Systems Engineering Station, DDG-51 Gas Turbine Ship Land Based Engineering Site (NSWCCD-SSES LBES), Figure 1. The Test Agenda included 516 SSGTG starts and 75 SSGTG motoring cycles. The primary goal was to validate engine life predictions for the Allison 250-C20B gas turbine engine in the RIMSS application. A secondary goal was to evaluate the overall RIMSS system during an extended period of operation.Copyright © 1997 by ASME
