Diffusion Vs. Premixed
Diffusion
> Very Robust Stable Flame
> Typically Operable Over a 2000°F Temp. Rise Range
> High NOx Emissions Without Diluent
> Low CO Emissions
Premixed
> Very Narrow Operating Window
> Typically Operable Over a 200-300°F Temp. Rise Range
> Can Achieve Very Low NOx Emissions Without Diluent
> Low CO Emissions Can Be Difficult

Traditional Combined Cycle
•Inlet Guide Vanes throttle Air into Compressor
•IGV start opening at ~50% load
•Fuel Flow increases w/ Load
•F/A Maintained 50-100% Load
•Combustor operates just above LBO condition
•Ideal for Low NOx 50-100% Load when operated with inlet bleed heat (IBH)
DLN Equipped Turbines in Simple Cycle Applications Typically Operate with IGV

Aux Stop Valve
Knock-out Drum– Removes Liquid Slugs when Expected in Fuel Supply
Filter Separator-Removes Particulate and Liquids from Inlet to Water Bath Heater or Gas Compressor (If provided).
Water Bath Heater – Superheats Fuel to Prevent Formation of Liquids Across Pressure Reducing Valves
Pressure Reducing Station – Reduces and Regulates the Gas Fuel Supply to Levels and Limits Required by the Gas Turbine.
Gas Compressor – Increases gas fuel pressure when supply is less than that required by the Gas Turbine.
Coalescing Filter – Removes liquids upstream of start-up heater to insure superheated fuel is liquid free.
Start-up Heater – Increases/Maintains the fuels superheat level when fuel supply is below minimum required.
Fuel Moisturization – Saturates the gas fuel to increase its moisture content/heating value.
Performance Heater – To heat gas fuel to improve the heat rate and efficiency of the gas turbine cycle. Normally heated to 365F
