Gas Turbine Exhaust Systems Ageing & Upgrades
SLIDE 46
Ageing Operational Damages
SLIDE 47 Gas Turbine Exhaust Ducts Major Drivers of Operational Damages
– Wear & Tear of Exhaust & Silencer Systems – Multiple repair area’s weakening the Exhaust Structure – Alloy Degradation
– Ageing systems showing excessive temperatures – unplanned maintenance events (casing cracks/ruptures etc)
- Change in Power Plant Operation
– Market Driven two-shifting / Start Stops increase – Higher Temperatures & flue gas velocities in the GT exhaust ducting. – Minor defects in the external / internal insulation of exhaust ducts system rapidly leading to widespread damage (potential for significant loss of plant availability).

Upgrades & Life Extension
SLIDE 57
- Reduction of annual costs
– Lower annual maintenance costs – Increased Unit availability
– Different options to reduce temperature levels and required ventilation
– Lower (duct surface/bellow) temperatures – Lower Load chamber temperatures / better accesability
Upgrades ; Objectives
SLIDE 58
- Definition of system Requirements, Inspection & Analysis
- Upgrade of silencer systems
– Supporting Cyclic Power Plant Operation or Life extension – Elimination of thermal shock for the silencer supports
- Upgrade of ducting systems
– utilising only internal insulation ( current status “cold casing design” ) – Improved alloy structures adapted to higher EGT & gasflow – long term internal insulation integrity – safer operating regime – significantly reduced maintenance down time.
- Upgrade of transition areas such as bellow systems
– Temperature reductions in critical access area’s (E.G. Load Chamber)
Upgrades to current industry standards
