Abstract
A system includes a pre-assembled, modular valve assembly configured to be coupled to both an industrial gas appliance and a fuel supply system for the industrial gas appliance. The system includes a manual isolation valve, a first block valve, and a bleed valve. The modular valve assembly is configured to be disposed at a location separate from the industrial gas appliance.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a pre-assembled, modular valve assembly configured to be coupled to a fuel supply system for an industrial gas appliance and the industrial gas appliance, wherein the industrial gas appliance is selected from a plurality of different industrial gas appliances comprising at least two of a gas turbine engine, a diesel engine, or a combustion engine, and wherein the pre-assembled, modular valve assembly comprises:
- a manual isolation valve;
- a first block valve;
- and
- a bleed valve;
- wherein the modular valve assembly is configured to be disposed at a location external to the industrial gas appliance;
- and
- a controller communicatively coupled to the pre-assembled, modular valve assembly, where in the controller is configured to perform an external valve leak test of the pre-assembled, modular valve assembly, and an internal valve leak test of the industrial gas appliance.
