GAS TURBINE ENGINE STARTING METHOD AND CONTROL DEVICE

摘要

A method of starting a gas turbine engine (1) by use of a start sequence (105) is provided. Turbine speed and fuel delivery are coordinated so as to provide a fuel/air mixture at an ignition device allowing a successful ignition. If a successful ignition has not occurred by end of the start sequence (105) the gas turbine engine is purged (111) and the start sequence (105) is repeated after the purging of the gas turbine engine.
