Engine Gas Turbines (Supplementary) USCG Question #213 (Set 6)

What is the purpose of the LM2500 GTE enclosure heater?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — To ensure fuel viscosity is maintained while the GTE is secured

The LM2500 enclosure heater maintains the fuel system temperature within a specific range while the engine is secured. This prevents fuel waxing or excessive viscosity, ensuring that the fuel control system and injectors remain ready for immediate start-up without risking fuel system component damage or poor atomization.
