I am currently investigating wheather an addition of an inlet fogging system to a LM5000 would be beneficial when a chiller coil is already in place. Currently the Chiller coil does not provide adequate inlet cooling on extremely hot days.
If indeed it would be beneficial to add an inlet fogging...
We have had a change in our water dicharge permit recently, not allowing any levels of arsenic to be present in our waste stream. Our water source comes from Two 50' deep wells. water is used for Cooling Tower Make-up. The Cooling Tower then blows down to what is now a settling pond and then...
We just came out of a steam turbine overhaul and found the lube oil had been contaminated with water. I suspect the Lube oil has been too cool during operation and shutdown. Normal Tank oil temp during operation is nominal 120 Degrees F. There is no heater in the tank so when shutdowns occur...
Thanks bimr....I assume corrosion would be caused by Oxidation or would the introduction of Oxygen cause a low PH in the condensate? This unit is not a peaking unit but does cycle quite a bit. If corrosion were occuring I assume I would see a rise in iron,.... decrease in PH?.... especially in...

I have powerplant that uses demin water to make-up to the deaerator. What would be the conseqences, as far as water quality and metalurgy, for the water system if we were to make-up to the condenser/hotwell instead?
How does a steam turbine become overheated when it is being motored by the generator? Such as in a failure of the 32 device. Furthermore, is the same danger (overheating)involved with motoring a gas turbine?
Thanks, for any help...this is a great forum.
