spool up time
Hello,
I love my turbine, BEE II KS.
I'm concerned about my spool up time. starting the turbine to "running" condition takes a consistent 1 mintute 35 seconds.
Idle to full thrust takes about 8 seconds. I'm assuming this isn't normal. Any recommendations??
Thanks

RE: spool up time
Your start , ramp and then to idle is long. We need additional information as to where the process is hanging up. There are four stages to the start process; burner on, preheat, switch over and fuel ramp. At which stage does the lag occur?
Acceleration is somewhat slow. The can be improved by a change in the acceleration delay parameter.
Thanks for the question.

RE: spool up time
Hi Eric.
|I've started the turbine a few times today. I don't really notice any lag in any of the four stages of the start. The turbine has always been a little to slow to start. But after Maidening my jet on friday the Spool up time seem to be slow. So I changed everything from the Pump back to larger diameter. Uat is new, and changed the tank stopper to a Sullivan large bore, large clunk pickup.
Forward of the pump, I check all lines and Hanger 9 fuel filter. Also check the vent line. Everything looks good.
The last few runs I've noticed that at full throttle, I get a "pump limit reached" message
Timed the idle to full thrust...It's 10 seconds.
I was at Wingham Jets today and Talked to Chuck Storrie. He says He's going to get me a Fuel pump.
Please let me know if you need me to try anything different before replacing the pump.
Thanks
Don
