A maintenance system for a flame detector in an enclosure for an industrial machine, such as turbomachine, is disclosed. The maintenance system may include a conduit having an inlet at an exterior of the enclosure and an outlet at an interior of the enclosure. The outlet is adjacent the flame detector. The maintenance system also includes a source of air and a valve fluidly coupling the inlet of the conduit and the source of air. The valve is configured to deliver a compressed air from the source of air through the outlet of the conduit onto a surface of the flame detector, thereby removing contaminants from the surface and/or cooling the surface. A controller can be provided to automatically operate the cleaning and cooling system when a fault signal is observed.

A three-way valve for a liquid fuel supply system includes a housing defining a liquid fuel inlet, a purge gas inlet, and at least one drain port. The liquid fuel inlet is sized to receive liquid fuel therethrough for selectively channeling the liquid fuel to a combustor of a gas turbine engine. The purge gas inlet is sized to receive purge gas therethrough for selectively purging liquid fuel from said three-way valve. The at least one drain port is oriented to selectively channel liquid fuel from said three-way valve when purge gas is purging liquid fuel from said three-way valve.

The present application provides a gas turbine engine. The gas turbine engine may include a compressor air extraction system with a number of valves, an exhaust frame cooling system with an exhaust frame blower, and a turbine valve cooling system with one or more valve protection boxes surrounding one or more of the valves. The valve protection boxes may be in communication with a flow of air from the exhaust frame blower.

A drain system for a combustor of a gas turbine includes a plurality of drain tubes, a vertical header connected to an end of each drain tube to receive a fluid flow therefrom, and a horizontal header downstream of the vertical header and in fluid communication therewith. Each drain tube has another end adapted to be connected to a respective combustor can of the gas turbine to drain liquid therefrom. The vertical header is disposed at an angle between 30&#xb0; and 90&#xb0; with a horizontal plane.

A system includes a gas turbine engine that includes a turbine section having one or more turbine stages between an upstream end and a downstream end, an exhaust section disposed downstream from the downstream end of the turbine section, and a fluid supply system coupled to the exhaust section. The fluid supply system is configured to route an inert gas to the exhaust section.
