Why maintenance of gas turbine very important at certain interval of time?

There are many reasons for that, such as.

1. Since Gas Turbines are exposed to very high working temperatures, the lubricants in the dynamic
parts looses its properties.

2. Due to continuous combustion, carbon and other residue starts accumulating, which needs to be
cleaned for efficient burning.

3. The cooling system has to be checked regularly for the durability of gas turbines and to avoid
failure.

4. In general, all components have a particular life within which they perform as desired. Beyond this
usage they need to be serviced/overhauled or replaced, failing which will lead to the seizure of the
machine/engine/mechanism/system.

Everything has a limit which is their breaking point.

Turbines have rolling elements like bearings, fixed and rotating fans, valves, steam traps, gates and
exhausts. Any or all of these components are always under severe stress due to pressure and load.
