Upgrading gas turbines often involves upgrades to fuel systems, instrumentation and turbine systems to add monitoring, increase automation or provide increased protection. ICS provides upgrades designed to increase reliability and enhance tubine operation.

See also ICS fuel systems and generator controls for upgrades to gas turbine fuel systems and generator control, excitation and protection systems.

ICS provides instrumentation upgrades to improve reliability, add monitoring, and eliminate problematic control systems/devices on gas turbines. Our offerings include engineering, materials and installation and commissioning services.

Vibration Monitoring System. ICS provides a variety of integrated and independent monitor type vibration systems to upgrade traditional Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation equipment including:

• Vibration
• Thrust protection
• Aero-derivative filtering

Ignition System Upgrades. ICS provides new High-Energy combustor ignition systems to increase turbine light-off reliability. These systems are direct replacements for existing on-base systems.

Flame Detection. Upgrades to existing Flame Detection Systems increase the reliability of Flame Detection and are not affected by Water Injection or Fogging systems.

Speed Measuring. As part of a control system upgrade, ICS has pre-engineered kits for addition of magnetic pickup type speed measurement to a variety of older gas turbines.

Temperature Monitoring. Replacement Thermocouples and RTDs:

• Exhaust Gas
• Compressor Inlet monitoring
• Bearing Drains
• Fuel Systems
• Turbine Air and Water Systems
• New Additions for Protection & Monitoring

Guide Vane and Fuel Valve Actuators. ICS upgrades existing IGV actuators to improve response, accuracy and reliability. Actuators are controlled by the turbine control system to provide accurate positioning based on IGV and load schedule. Guide Vane upgrades eliminate troublesome equipment and provide quick positioning with accurate position feedback.

Instrumentation. ICS performs instrument upgrades ranging from individual devices to complete instrument cabinet replacements. New instruments offer the benefit of real-time data monitoring, in-place calibration and increased accuracy.

• Pressure Transmitters
• Pressure Switches
• Flowmeters
• Thermocouplers & RTDs
• Temperature Switches
• Position Switches
