Options to Improve Your Turbomachinery Equipment’s Performance and Durability
of

Burner Acoustic Monitor and Active Control

The Burner Acoustic Monitor (BAM) system was built to continuously monitor dynamic combustor pressure. It is a protective device that proactively adjusts the fuel system and indicates the presence of a condition that should be resolved before turbine damage occurs. This creates the opportunity to resolve an issue before failure and avoids downtime.

Turbine Air Inlet System

Solar’s onshore air inlet filtration system enables gas turbines to operate in a broad range of land-based environments. For coastal and inland installations, contaminants vary by location and can include salt, dust, sand, industrial gases, and exhaust fumes containing oil and fuel vapors. Solar continually improves its air inlet filtration system, developing new products that enable its gas turbine engines to operate more efficiently and to extend time between off line compressor water washes.

The Ergo Fit Filter is the newest recommended filter for Solar's gas turbine packages. Read all about its improved performance, easy installation, and how it helps to reduce your overall lifecycle costs.

Variable Guide Vane and Bleed Valve Actuators

This upgrade provides a complete electric solution for both SoLoNOx™ and conventional combustion engines. The 120 Vdc actuators are designed to replace existing hydraulic or pneumatic-hydraulic bleed valve, or variable guide vane actuators. This provides a consistent, tunable emission and engine controls system solution.
