8 Fuel System
8.1 General Description
The fuel system (Figure 12), in conjunction with the control system, includes all
necessary components to control ignition and fuel flow during all modes of operation.
There are two available configurations:
• Gas fuel – conventional combustion
• Gas fuel – SoLoNOx combustion

Figure 12. Typical Fuel System Schematic
8.1.1 Conventional Combustion System
Solar’s conventional combustion system uses fuel injectors equally spaced around the
combustor to inject fuel into the combustion chamber. The fuel injected into the
combustion chamber is controlled during starting and steady-state operation to maintain
stable combustion.
8.1.2 SoLoNOx Combustion System
The SoLoNOx combustion system uses special fuel injectors with main and pilot fuel
ports. The fuel injected through these ports is controlled during starting and steady-state
operation to maintain stable combustion and minimize the formation of nitrous oxides
(NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and unburned hydrocarbon (UHC) emissions. To further
regulate emission levels, combustion airflow is regulated using a bleed valve mounted on
the combustor case. The SoLoNOx combustion system also includes an additional inlet
gas filter/coalescer for mounting offskid.
8.1.3 Fuel System
For conventional combustion, the fuel system includes:
• Supply pressure transmitter
• Pilot air operated primary gas fuel shutoff valve
