7FA Parts & Fuel Nozzle Lifetime Extension Examples, Mark VI Controls & 7FH2 Generator Field Findings

Mark VI Controls

Presenter: Joe Clappis, Senior Controls Engineer

Abstract: Our Control Systems Division will be demonstrating the usefulness of the Toobox/ToolboxST ‘Trend Recorder’ (also called ‘Trender’) for troubleshooting trips and operational problems. A very basic explanation of Trend Recorder will be presented, then recorded data from various events (trips; operational issues; etc.) will be presented. Emphasis will be on reviewing and analyzing existing Trend Recorder files automatically created and uploaded to the GE® Mark VI HMI every hour and after any turbine trip. We will also show how to access Alarms and Events on the files for better understanding of the information and the data/trip.

7FA Component Lifetime Extension

Presenter: José Quiñones, Director of Engineering

Abstract: Typical gas turbine components operate to the OEM recommended useful life. In order to determine if the components are candidates for a lifetime extension, we need to understand if the parent material has the properties needed to operate one more service interval. We also need to ensure that the repair that will be implemented can also operate for one more service interval. In the process of learning about the components condition we also get to understand their failure modes. We use these lessons learned to design gas turbine components that are more robust in operation and more repairable. Our repair center has repaired over 1,200 F-class sets of components. In this webinar we will cover the typical limiting factors of 7F gas turbine components and how they can be repaired. We will cover the steps used in implementing a lifetime extension and will show specific case studies.

7FA Fuel Nozzle End Cover Insert Life Extension Example & In-Situ Flow Test

Presenter: Pat Murphy, Director

Abstract: 7FA Fuel Nozzle End Cover Insert Life Extension example and in-situ flow test for Fuel nozzles. ICS (Integrated Combustion Solutions) / MD&A Fuel Nozzle Services Division can extend the service life of a Fuel Nozzle End Cover. The life expectancy of an end cover increases from the OEM claim of 48,000 hrs. to over 125,000 hrs. with a new maximum of 7 insert replacements per cover. MD&A will go through a specific 7FA example.

7FH2 Generator Field Winding Shorted Turn, Ground Wall Insulation Findings

Presenter: James Joyce, Generator Operations Manager

Abstract: 7FH2 Field winding shorted turn / ground wall insulation findings – summarize findings from 7FH2 fields that MD&A has refurbished in their shop (or at site) – this issue (particularly typical shorted turn locations) may be very design dependent (i.e. whether at end turn corner areas, C-coil braze joints, etc.) – MD&A should be able to provide useful data from their experience.
