Question 34Gas Turbine - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is B) To ensure fuel viscosity is maintained while the GTE is secured. The purpose of the GE LM2500 gas turbine enclosure heater is to maintain the proper fuel viscosity when the gas turbine engine (GTE) is not in operation. The heater helps keep the fuel warm and at the correct viscosity, which is important for ensuring the fuel can flow properly when the GTE is started up again. This helps prevent any issues with the fuel system. The other options are incorrect because: A) maintaining a specific enclosure temperature is not the primary purpose, C) warming up the enclosure for maintenance is not the main function, and D) increasing inlet air temperature is not what the heater is designed for.
