Abstract: The gas turbine fuel gas filling apparatus includes a main fuel valve, a fuel valve, an inert gas purge valve, and a pressure detector for detecting a pressure in the fuel line. The main fuel valve is gradually opened, and fixed to a valve opening at a time when a predetermined first pressure condition is established. Pressure is measured after lapse of a predetermined time. The main fuel valve is gradually opened until a second pressure condition is established. Pressure is measured upon a completion of gas-filling. With establishment of a third pressure condition, the inert purge relief valve is closed. With establishment of a fourth pressure condition, the main fuel valve is fully opened.

Abstract: In a muffler, a first exhaust outlet pipe has an opening-closing device, and a second exhaust outlet pipe is connected or joined to the first exhaust outlet pipe at a downstream portion of the opening-closing device. An overall length of the second exhaust outlet pipe is greater than the distance between the above joint portion, at which the second exhaust outlet pipe is connected to the first exhaust outlet pipe, and an exhaust inlet end of the first exhaust outlet pipe, and the overall length of the second exhaust outlet pipe is shorter than or generally equal to an overall length of the first exhaust outlet pipe. With this construction, in a low engine revolution speed range, the production of abnormal sounds in the second exhaust outlet pipe is prevented.
