Gas Turbine Simulator (GTS)
is the simulator of the navy type engine room powered
by a two shaft gas turbine.
GTS includes the animation of the main reduction gear,
turbine clutch, brakes and the turning gear in all operational
modes.

|
 |
The main educational tasks, which can be accomplished
with GTS are listed below:
- Learning
gas turbine engine room operating routines with the
support of the integrated checklists.
- Ship's engine room operation
training. The user will be able to accomplish any
operational task starting from pre-prepared or previously
saved exercises.
- Training in corrective action
when faults occur. Different faults can be mixed in
the run-time or loaded from disk.
|
GTS simulator model includes the following systems:
 |
- The main engine (two shaft gas turbine with ca.
25000 kW of power at 3600 rpm at the output shaft)
powers the controllable pitch propeller (CPP) via
main reduction gear
- The engine control from control room (CCS) and bridge.
Both: remote manual and programmed control are possible.
- Automated control system.

Here is a list of GTS main features:
- GTS is a highly realistic simulator for ship's engine
room training which can also be used as a low cost introductory
simulator.
- The mathematical model simulates a typical navy type
engine room with a standard gas turbine engine and its auxiliary
systems.
- The realistic simulation of the electronic control system
has been implemented.
- Mimic diagrams with active valves, pump status indicators,
tank level indicators and selected digital gauges make the
system easy to use.
- Multichannel digitised sound provides a very realistic
ship's engine feel. The sound effects include: gas turbine
sound correlated with engine speed, the sound of a starting
combustion chamber and machine telegraph buzzers. The volume
level for all sound channels can be freely selected according
to personal preferences.
- It is possible to switch on fly between British and Metric
units.
GTS offers different types of user interface:
Other examples of GTS auxiliary systems are shown below:
The
gear oil and the sea water system have been integrated
in the one diagram. The different operation modes of the
circulation pumps are possible.

The enclosure diagram includes also
the washing system and the fire fighting system. The
operation of the blow-in doors and the dampers has been
integrated as well.
