How long does a steam turbine inspection take?

Depending on which option you choose, the steam turbine inspection procedure will take 1-3 days. But that’s not the end of the story. GE is dedicated to serving as a long-term provider for you and your plant, with an ongoing collaboration that includes turbine maintenance, parts, and scheduled outage planning.

How does a wind turbine accumulator work?

Hydraulics are commonly utilised to control the yaw, pitch and braking systems on modern wind turbines. Accumulators are typically used along with hydraulic power units to feather the blade pitch. Accumulators also serve as an auxiliary power storage device to quickly and safely rotate the blade to a null position in extreme wind conditions.

What is included in a turbine inspection?

The inspection generally includes that of the combustion chamber outlet ducts, covers and turbine fuel nozzle for blockages, cracks, pits and corrosion in addition to the inspection of the first stage turbine blades and nozzle guide vanes for warping, cracks, or foreign object damage.

How often should a steam turbine be inspected?

For most customers, having a TEAMS inspection every year not only provided ongoing steam turbine monitoring, it extended their scheduled outage cycle from five to seven years. Even when you know what parts you need, they may not be available right away.

Do I need to move beyond the initial turbine assessment?

There is no requirement to move beyond the initial turbine assessment, but there is a substantial discount for a long-term service agreement and countless benefits for ongoing steam turbine condition monitoring. We care about your performance and profitability, and want to work with you over your plant’s entire lifecycle.

Why do wind turbines use piston accumulators?

Wind turbines commonly use piston type accumulators because of their smaller footprint and high-pressure performance. Piston accumulators are commonly fitted with Minimess charging valves due to their high-pressure capability, leak free design and safe ease of use.
