    WMO in a Gas Turbine engines?

    but in answer to you question, if you treat them right they last last last ( 5000 hours was about right for a TF 34 100 A) , tiny turbines get a lot of abuse, GTCP 36-50s ran to failure, but generally about 4 to 5 hundred hours between major breakdowns and component changes, Get A 71 A from a H...

    No not at all, your missing the imperitive, Jet engines used in aircraft use Jet I as the fuel source,and have to have controllability and atmospheric change envelopes, Power plant turbines are static and vary little in operating RPM The turbines used in power plant operations use LNG ect as...

    not nessacarily, what model of GTCP do you have in your unit, I assume you have a 397, or 71A or Gtcp 36-50 or something along those lines. Some of the older power units use basic engine control system , usually a centrifulgal 3 speed switch . Franks picture is a fuel nozzle cluster for a can...

    WMO in a Gas Turbine engines?

    its not quite that simple, Jet engines and a gas turbine is a jet engine, use fuel pressure servo sensors for a plethora of functions, Your "specific Gravity" of the fuel is the biggest concern, older jet engines and gas turbines had specific adjustments on the fuel control for various fuels...
