ABSTRACT:
A method and means are provided for operating a bleed to counter surge in the compressor of a gas turbine. A number of engine condition parameters which are precursors to a change of engine running conditions are monitored to detect changes outside predetermined limits. The method includes deriving a measure of heat soakage effects as an engine condition parameter by monitoring a gas flow value such as compressor outlet pressure, and deriving a further engine condition parameter by evaluating changes of engine power-setting by comparing instantaneous power-setting commands with lagged values of power-setting commands. If over-limit values of a monitored engine condition parameter are detected the bleed is opened and the bleed is maintained open if monitored changes of an engine operational parameter (such as compressor speed) exceed predetermined limits within a predetermined period of the opening of the bleed by an over-limit engine condition parameter.
