    Gas turbine alignment

    Adam1, Thanks for your reply you put in right words what my doubts were. I think we will do it coupled. Anyway it will not take too much time. We are still awaiting final confirmation from GE. We understand that the bolts can be reused but anything may happen during dismantling and we would not...

    Gas turbine alignment

    I'm not sure if it is the right forum to address my question. We have GE 9E frame gas tubines and as scheduled overhaul is on the horizon we are planning the jobs to be done. We suspect that misalignment is high between Gas turbine and generator bearings. We'd like to check it using laser...

    VDI standard

    Hi, I use to ISO standard to assess severaty of vibration on equipment. But Flowserve pumps manual refer to VDI 2056. I have never seen this standard. They set vibration alarm on 9 mm/sec and trip level on 12 mm/sec. These values seem very high to me. In steady operation bearing vibration on...

    Vertical pump natural frequency

    Yes, at running speed we do not have any vibration problem. We have implemented trip delay (10 sec) in order to avoid tripping of the pump during startup. After conducting change-over test on the pumps when we started stand-by pump and stoped running one we experianced tripping of already...

    Vertical pump natural frequency

    We have three vertical pumps installed on cooling tower. Pumps are supplied by Flowserve. During commissioning we faced a problem with tripping on high vibration during start-up. We have measured on natural frequency on the casing of the pump and motor (bump test). It is 5.41 Hz whereas the...

    GE gas turbine vibration

    We are on commissioning of GE frame 9E gas turbine and facing problem with high vibration. Can anybody tell me what is the acceptible level of vibration for this machine? During shut down it has 7.9 mm/sec on third critical speed. On base load I see max displacement 80-90 mic/pp on bearing #1 at...

    Variable O&M Costs of Various Power Plants

    Preparing a presentation I came across contradictory information about Variable O&M costs of Various Power plants (Costs of Nuclear, Gas Turbine, Combined cycle, Steam turbine (Coal) and diesel power plants were compared). The variable cost for CC Power plant is 3.8 US$/MWh in accordance of one...
