Will an overhaul improve megawatt output?
Which seal replacements are economically justified?
Do you know the NPW and B/C ratio for the overhaul?
How much does SPE damage impact the turbine efficiency?
Steam
Path Audits by PE
LLC are the best way to get quick,
accurate answers to these questions.
Steam Path Audit Benefits
Quantifies kW and Btu losses and calculates
recoverable gains
Saves money by replacing only economically
justified components
Provides complete full color report, with
recommendations, within days of opening the turbine
Assess the efficiency and reliability of the
steam path
Develops vital economic information for
repair decisions
Provides a detailed record of the turbine
condition upon opening and closing, including color photos
Allows comparison of audit and performance test
results
Identifies and quantifies steam path degradation
such as: excess seal leakage, solid particle erosion, mechanical
damage, deposits, surface roughness, trailing edge thickness, foreign object
damage, etc.
