Recovery and Repair of Steam Turbines
Every industrial park requires comprehensive attention at many points, so that production remains stabilized and everyone's safety is guaranteed.
A special look at steam turbines must be fundamental. After all, steam turbines that transform steam energy into electrical energy to run several equipment such as mills, chippers, shredders, turbopumps , exhaust fans, centrifuges, blowers, propellers, compressors, fans, among others.
Wortice was created from this thought, counting on the experience of more than 40 years of its professionals, the company specializes in steam turbines and brings in this content all the information about recovery and renovation of steam turbines.
Why steam turbines are important
Steam turbines are used in dozens of industrial segments with a very well-defined purpose: to generate electricity from steam, produced by equipment such as mills, chippers, shredders, turbo-pumps, extractors, centrifuges, blowers, propellers, compressors, fans, among others.
Power generation
Steam turbines are designed and built in their most different sizes and powers so that three stages are carried out in steam turbines
- Transformation of steam energy into motion energy (kinetic);
- Kinetic energy is transformed into work (mechanical) energy;
- Mechanical energy is transformed into electrical energy.
Steam path
To get even clearer of how steam turbines transform kinetic energy into electrical energy, we can look at the path taken by steam within the structure of steam turbines.
- Steam enters the turbine at a certain pressure and temperature;
- It is sent to the expander plate which directs it to the vanes;
- The vanes, connected to a rotor or shaft, are rotated by the steam, generating energy.
Counting on the experience of more than 40 years of its founders, Wortice has built throughout its history many ties of credibility, technology, precision and efficiency, Wortice is a reference in the steam turbine market and has its entire team at your disposal to clarify doubts, by accessing here .
Steam turbine care
As we said at the beginning, the entire industrial park requires maintenance, recovery and renovation plans so that the day-to-day production goes according to plan and, above all, that the safety of all those involved is guaranteed.
This also applies to steam turbines; in this case, care must be taken even more, as the sudden stop of the steam turbines can generate a lot of damage by cutting off the electricity supply to the mills, chippers, shredders, turbo-pumps, extractors, centrifuges, blowers, propellers, compressors, fans among others.
Therefore, steam turbine care requires to be part of a plan for maintenance and repair of parts, accessories and components . Within this item, the recovery and renovation of steam turbines must be placed.
In order to accomplish the steam turbine recovery and renovation service within the operational and safety parameters provided, it is important to count on the experience of those who really understand the subject. Wortice is your best option for the recovery and renovation of steam turbines!
Recovery and renovation of steam turbines
The recovery and renovation of steam turbines with technology and quality must take place, after an inspection process that will:
- assess the condition of parts and components;
- indicate what the recovery and reform procedures should be.
It is important to notice that most of the time the recovery and renovation of steam turbines happens within steam turbine maintenance plans, which can be:
Constant maintenance or daily steam turbine maintenance
It will be there that the faults will be pointed out, in order to correct them as quickly as possible or indicating the necessary procedures within a planned stop.
They are usually observed in the constant maintenance of steam turbines:
- general oil conditions;
- bearing temperature;
- steam and oil leaks;
- vibration and noise.
Partial maintenance
The steam turbine shutdown is programmed to:
- bearing inspection;
- alignment;
- inspection of regulation, safety and extraction valves;
- checking pipes, lubrication, control and steam;
- oil quality;
- fire fighting system.
Complete maintenance
When steam turbines are opened for more in-depth refurbishment they will not leave any part, accessory and component without a proper inspection, correction or repair.
