Hot Gas Path Inspection

Introduction:

Maintenance costs and machine availability are two of the most important concerns to a heavy-duty gas turbine equipment
Therefore, a well thought out maintenance program that reduces the owner’s costs while increasing equipment availability
should be instituted, there are many factors that can influence equipment life, and these must be understood and accounted for
in the owner’s maintenance planning. Starting cycle (hours per start), power setting, fuel, level of steam or water injection, and
site environmental conditions are some of the key factors in determining maintenance interval requirements, as these factors
directly influence the life of replaceable gas turbine parts. Operators should consider these external factors to prevent the
degradation and shortened life of non-consumable components.

Starts and Hours Criteria


Gas turbines wear differently in continuous duty application and cyclic duty application, as shown in Figure 1. Thermal
mechanical fatigue is the dominant life limiter for peaking machines, while creep, oxidation, and corrosion are the dominant life
limiters for continuous duty machines.

F IGURE 1 : GE BASES GAS TURBINE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS ON INDEPENDENT COUNTS OF STARTS AND HOURS

The inspection interval recommendation is defined by the rectangle established by the starts and hours criteria figure 2 at the
inspection point will have low risk of failure during the subsequent operating interval.

The purpose of the hot path inspection is to examine those parts exposed to high temperatures from the hot gases discharged
from the combustion process.

Figure 6 illustrates the firing temperature changes occurring over a normal startup and shut down cycle. Light-off, acceleration,
loading, unloading, and shutdown all produce gas and metal temperature changes. For rapid changes in gas temperature, the
edges of the bucket or nozzle respond more quickly than the thicker bulk section, as pictured in Figure 7. These gradients, in
turn, produce thermal stresses that, when cycled, can eventually lead to cracking (Fig 8. crack from the first nozzle during
maintenance).

Figure 9 describes the temperature/strain history of a representative bucket stage 1 bucket during a normal startup and shut
down cycle. Light-off and acceleration produce transient compressive strains in the bucket as the fast-responding leading-edge
heats up more quickly than the thicker bulk section of the airfoil. At full load conditions, the bucket reaches its maximum metal
temperature, and a compressive strain is produced from the normal steady state temperature gradients that exist in the cooled
part. At shutdown, the conditions reverse, and the faster responding edges cool more quickly than the bulk section, which
results in a tensile strain at the leading edge.

F IGURE 9 : REPRESENTATIVE BUCKET LOW CYCLE FATIGUE (LCF)

Thermal mechanical fatigue testing has found that the number of cycles that a part can withstand before cracking occurs is
strongly influenced by the total strain range and the maximum metal temperature. Any operating condition that significantly
increases the strain range and/or the maximum metal temperature over the normal cycle conditions will reduce the fatigue life
and increase the starts-based maintenance factor .
Trip Full load – Increase in strain reange for a trip cycle results in a life effect that equates to eight normal start/stop cycles .
The hot gas path inspection outlinedin Figure 10 includes the full scope of the combustion inspection and, in addition, a detailed
inspection of the turbine nozzles, stator shrouds, and turbine buckets. To perform this inspection, the top half of the turbine
shell must be removed.

F IGURE 10 : HOT GAS PATH INSPECTION – KEY ELEMENTS

For inspection of the hot gas path, all combustion transition pieces and the first-stage turbine nozzle assemblies must be
removed. Removal of the second- and third-stage turbine nozzle segment assemblies is optional, depending upon the results of
visual observations, clearance measurements, and other required inspections. The buckets can usually be inspected in place.

Diesel Leakage Test

On May 27th 2023, the Unit GT13 Liquid Fuel system integrity test was carried out . Three fire watchers have been assigned: one
for each GT side and the third to Accessory Compartment. Fire Extinguishers are in place. The first attempt of the Unit start
(normal start up sequence simple cycle) on LF was aborted due to observation of two leaks: Can No. 4 and No. 14. The piping
was inspected and reassembled.
The second attempt of the Unit start (normal start up sequence simple cycle) on the LF was aborted due to shut down: Starting
motor overcurrent alarm went off. Unit started and acceleration reached 1200 rpm. one more LF leak was discovered Can No.9
and water Injection hose leak Can No. 11.
The third attempt of the Unit start (normal start up sequence simple cycle) on the LF was aborted due to alarm signal High
exhaust temp: Unit started, and acceleration reached 1200 rpm.
pressure indicator: Can No. 5 and No. 10 have built up the LF pressure 18 bar whereas the rest of Cans had 12 bar of LF
pressure. This may lead uneven flame and high exhaust spread which creates High exhaust temp alarm signal.

Hydrostatic test for the LP SH


On 15-MAY-2023 , HRSG-13 LP Drum side Hydrostatic Test was carried out by increasing pressure from atmospheric to 3 bar and
stay on that pressure for 10 min. then at 6 bar for another 10 min. then raised to 10 bars for 20 min. before test ended
successfully

T ABLE 8 : HYDROSTATIC TEST PRESSURES AND TEMPERATURES

Filling Procedure

1. Assemblies shall be purged in such a way that there are no remaining air pockets, while being filled.
2. The test equipment shall be examined before pressure is applied to ensure that it is tight and that all low-pressure filling lines
and other appurtenances, which shall not be subjected to the test pressures, have been disconnected or isolated by valves or
other suitable means.
3. Make sure that the water quality is acceptable.
4. Fill the system with closed drains and opened vents. Vent valves shall be closed as soon as water escapes during the filling
process.
5. Expelling of air at flange connections will be carried out by temporarily loosening the bolts of the flange connection and
tightening the bolts as soon as water appears.

1- Aux. Compartment : loop check for firefighting system sensors, loop check for all instrumentation to ensure
healthiness, visual check for oil system, check no traces of fire.

2- Turbine Compartment : at 09:00 O’clock doors will be opened. Maintenance department will enter inside to visual
check, loop check for firefighting system sensors, loop check for all instrumentation to ensure healthiness .

3- Load Compartment: after completion check Aux. Compartment and turbine compartment visual check, loop check
for firefighting system sensors, loop check for all instrumentation to ensure healthiness
