Blue – The Color of Liquid Fuel System Check Valve Reliability
JASC’s Actively Cooled Control Valves continue to exhibit stable operation during a successful 7FA installation at a gas turbine site on a Frame 7 engine.
The blue color in the thermal images represents a 122.9 °F cooled valve. All transfers from gas to liquid fuel have been successful, 100% of the starts on liquid fuel have succeeded, and an excess of 30,000 hours of check valve operation have been logged without failure.
Performance data will be available at the end of summer 2006.
Features of the valves include:
• Simple installation, Tap into the existing water system
• Operational on 6B, 6FA, 7FA, and 7EA engines
• Maintenance only required during Combustion Inspections
• Transfer reliability
• Elimination of coke related check valve failures
• Enhanced start capability on liquid fuel
• Elimination of trips associated with high exhaust temperature spreads
• 130,000 hours of operation without a failure

JASC Earns Perfect Audit Score
The JASC Corporation continues its tradition of excellence in quality system management by successfully attaining a perfect 100% score during its recently completed ISO 9001:2000 and AS9100 continuing assessment audit. Registering a perfect score is the culmination of three consecutive years of quality system improvement, and once again, portions of the system were deemed “best in class” by the auditor.
“Getting our ISO9001:2000 and AS9100 certification was extremely timely,” says JASC president and CEO, Harv Jansen. “We were trying to be proactive, and it is beginning to pay dividends with increased business opportunities.” The successful implementation and improvement of the quality system has opened up many opportunities domestically and abroad. As JASC begins to break into these markets, ISO and AS9100 are key requirements. In the overwhelming majority of the cases, evidence of ISO certification relieves the need for the additional scrutiny of completing questionnaires and onsite audits, saving the company precious time and energy.
JASC faces its reassessment audit in March 2007. For additional information on the company’s quality system, contact Emerson Turner, JASC Quality Manager.
