Equipment Tests. Procedures for rigorous, detailed efficiency determination are available (ASME Test Codes) but are rarely used. For the objective of defining conservation potentials, relatively simple measurements are adequate. For fired heaters, stack temperature and excess O2 ia stack should be measured for turbiaes, pressures (ia and out) and temperatures (ia and out) are needed.

When testing to estabhsh the thermodynamic performance of a steam turbine, the ASME Performance Test Code 6 should be followed as closely as possible. The effec t of deviations from code procedure should be carefully evaluated. The flow measurement is particularly critical, and Performance Test Code 19 gives details of flow nozzles and orifices. The test requirements should be carefully studied when the piping is designed to ensure that a meaningful test can be conducted.

In this chapter, a detailed technique with all the major equations governing a Gas Turbine Power Plant are presented based on the various ASME Test Codes. The following five ASME Test Codes govern the test of a Gas Turbine Power Plant ... 

The ASME, Performance Test Code on Overall Plant Performance, ASME PTC 46, was designed to determine the performance of the entire heat cycle as an integrated system. This code provides explicit procedures to determination of power plant thermal performance and electrical output. 

The ASME, Performance Test Code on Test Uncertainty Instruments and Apparatus PTC 19.1 specifies procedures for evaluation of uncertainties in individual test measurements, arising form both random errors and... 

The instrumentation will be calibrated as per the requirements of the test codes. All the instrumentation must be calibrated before a test and certified that they meet the code requirements. The ASME PTC 19 series outlines the governing requirements of all instrumentation for an ASME Performance Test to be within the governing band of uncertainty. 

Correction factors are also provided in ASME PTC Test Code-46. The correction factors for ambient temperature, ambient pressure, and relative humidity are presented in this chapter. 

The ASME, Performanee Test Code on Gas Turbines, ASME PTC 22 examines the overall performanee of the gas turbine. The ASME PTC 22 only examines the overall turbine and many turbines in the field are better instrumented for eomputation of the detail eharaeteristies of the gas turbine. Figure 20-6 shows the desired loeation of the measurement points for a fully instrumented turbine. The following are the various eomputations required to ealeulate the gas turbine overall performanee based on the eode ... 

The turbine firing temperature should be computed by knowing the gas characteristics of the combustion gas. If these characteristics are known then one can use the combustion gas equations given in the ASME performance test codes 4.4 (1991) for gas turbine HRSG. Usually the gas constituents are not known so it is not a bad assumption to use the 400% theoretical air tables in the Keenan and Kaye gas tables. The following equations for...
