We have simple cycle frame 7EA's with MarkV and DLN1. We are considering eliminating the coast down from purge speed (~22% TNH) to firing speed (9.5%<x<10%).
If the unit is allowed to fire at 21%<x<21.5%, it would shorten the start time by ~4 minutes.
Has anyone done this? Were there issues? Lessons learned?
Please share your thoughts/experiences/insights.
