The AGV50 Pilot gas valve meters natural gas for gas turbine engines from 5,800–45,594 hp (34 MW) and is for lean combustion turbines. It controls the pilot section of the combustor to avoid flame out in dry low-NOx combustors. By controlling closed loop on flow, the AGV50 Pilot eliminates variations in fuel flow due to changes in fuel pressure or other ambient changes. This valve is specifically designed to control fuel flow to a DLE pilot. This application is demanding because of low back pressure and low flow. The AGV50 Pilot’s internal flow-measuring Venturi is designed to maximize accuracy while minimizing the effects of high back pressure.

Written by Drew Robb There are thousands of Solar Taurus 60 gas turbines operating all over the world in oil and gas operations with no tolerance for downtime. Yet the fuel valves for these machines are programmed to shut down for replacement after 10 years of operation. Replacement of the original valves usually takes a few days of shutdown time. But, by...
