Fuel train control using a multi-position gas shut-off valve
Last updated:
Abstract:
A multi-position GSOV and control of the multi-position GSOV are disclosed. An example method may include determining a value of a parameter associated with a fuel train, wherein the fuel train is associated with an engine; determining a setting associated with the parameter; and causing, based on the value of the parameter and the setting, a position of a gas shut-off valve (GSOV) of the fuel train to be reconfigured to cause a flow rate of fuel flowing through the GSOV to change from a first flow rate to a second flow rate, wherein the second flow rate is greater than a zero percent flow rate and less than a one hundred percent flow rate.
