GE Power & Water has approved all Parker Meggitt bleed air valves for use on GE LM gas turbines
“NEW BLEED AIR VALVE WITH IMPROVED RELIABILITY”
The latest service bulletin is a notice to LM operators worldwide to replace their existing Honeywell bleed air valve by
a Parker Meggitt next generation valve. A number of improvements are the result of years of development.
Inadequate seals and spacers have been replaced. New thermal shielding of the LVDT and torque motor wiring will prevent chafing and feedback problems from happening. Larger and better bearings ensure correct positioning of the butterfly disk and scraper ring at all stages and prevent leakages.
Parker Meggitt recommended overhaul interval for bleed air valves: every 50.000 hours of operation
