Repair & Maintenance of Gas Turbine

Repair & Maintenance of Gas Turbine (Frame-

9E) may be classified as follows:
Sl. No Type of Inspection Operation Hr/
NO. of Start

1. Combustion Chamber 12000/450

Inspection (CI)

2 Hot Gas Path Inspection 24000/900

(HGPI)

3. Major Inspection (MI) 48000/2400

Influence on Inspection Interval
Factors that can influence on Inspection
Interval are as follows:
 Fuel quality.
 Trips from Load.
 Load Setting.
 Start Cycle.
 Water/steam injection.
 Hardwire Design.
 Peak Load Operation.
Combustion Chamber Inspection (CI)
For Frame-9E Machine CI is recommended
after 12000hrs of operation with Maxm 450
nos of start. Capital spares for CI are listed as
follows:
1. Cap Liner.
2. Primary Fuel Nozzle.
3. Secondary Fuel Nozzle.
4. Transition piece.
5. Cross Over Pipe.
 Comment
If the Gas-Turbine is in operation with:
• Fuel Gas.
• Only Base Load Operation.
• No steam or water injection.
• Not trips from load.
• Normal Load setting.
HRSG Interval shall be determined on the
basis among 1200 nos of Start and 24000hrs
of operation which ever occur first.
 Hot Gas Path Inspection(HGPI)
For Frame-9E Machine HGPI is recommended
after 24000hrs of Operation with Maxm 900
nos of start. Capital Spares for HGPI are as
follows:
1. CI Capital Spare.
2. 1st ,2nd & 3rd Stage Nozzles.
3. 1st ,2nd & 3rd Stage Buckets.
4. 1st ,2nd & 3rd Stage Shrouds.
 Major Inspection
For Frame-9E machine Major Inspection(MI)
is recommended after 48000hrs of Operation
with Maxm 2400 Nos of Start. Capital spares
for Major Inspection are as follows:
1. CI Capital Spare.
2. HGPI Capital Spare.
3. Journal & Seal Surface of Bearing.
