FT8 video alert! In this training and troubleshooting video. I delve into the crucial topic of liquid fuel start and fuel transfer issues. Specifically, we examine the drain solenoids and their impact on starting and fuel transfer. If you're interested in turbines and want to expand your knowledge, this is a must-watch video! #FT8 #FT8Training #Turbines #TurbineTraining #DonMurphy

V236 - 15 MW offshore turbine prototype Installation How many of you like to follow V236 and it's performance ? If Yes... Type Yes in the comment... #vestas #V236 #offshore #prototype #sustainability https://lnkd.in/gRd4gZ64

A useful video as an introduction to #Micro_gas_turbine (#MGT): #Gas_turbines are prime movers based on the Brayton thermodynamic cycle where the working fluid is compressed, thermal energy is then added, before expansion in a turbine to produce power to drive the compressor and produce useful shaft power. The term #micro_gas_turbine (#MGT) refers to units producing shaft power below about 500 kW. Like large gas turbines, MGTs can achieve high power density and efficiency, and have the advantage of better fuel and operational flexibility compared to other prime movers of similar power rating. They require less maintenance and the noise level brought about by combustion is lower and easier to attenuate than in competing technologies. Despite previous research and development, MGTs still have a relatively low market share. Full technical potential has not been achieved due to insufficient investment in research and development, and the absence of suitable coordination and innovation sharing mechanisms among stakeholders. Recently, there has been an increased interest in MGTs for applications such as domestic and industrial combined heat and power, automotive range extenders, concentrated solar power and propulsion of unmanned air vehicles among other applications which prompted increased research and development activities. The webinar will provide an overview of the technology, then focus on aspects that led to the increased interest and explore future potential of MGTs. It will outline targets for efficiency, capital cost and other factors that may lead to commercial success. #TAPCO #Rotary_Learning #MGT #Rotary_machines #CITY #University

NoRoll Static Turbine Alignment back at it! The lengthy 16 point check is a thing of the past. Here you see one measurement that took 5 minutes. We take 3 to 4 measurements to ensure accuracy and repeatabily, so the whole process is 20 minutes or less on average. Virtually no set up time, just open the case and start taking data. Instant results and recommendations, with full reports. 🙂 Visit staticturbinealignment.com to start saving on planning, outage time, and resources!

I’m all for stress testing these blades in the real world. However, a more engineering-based approach uses our high definition fiber optic strain sensors (https://lnkd.in/g_Wke-jm). Our ODISI sensor provides the finest resolution and thousands of sensing points both in and on the composite blade. We use this sub-mm distributed sensing tool to  perform fatigue testing and predict failure. The aim of this technology is to assess the longevity of these turbines so you don’t have to line up a bunch of people to jump on the blade. #DSS #DFOS LUNA Innovations

-Some gas engine operators dislike the engine shutting down in their duties due to high #knocking intensity because this affects the #reliability and availability of the #compressor or #genset. Bad for their statistics! -#Piston, piston rings, and cylinder head manufacturers also do not like DetCon20 because it prevents these parts from failing. bad for the piston manufacturer turnover! -Some buyers consider that the knocking controller is not necessary, it is an extra cost for the compressor or genset. bad for the budget! but, ...do you know how many pistons and #cylinder heads cost not having a knocking controller? the overall affection to the unit reliability? ask your #maintenance team! https://lnkd.in/gQX58vk #Motortech #DetCon20 the best #Knocking #Controller for #Gas and #Diesel #Engines

The electric Variable Speed Drive motor-driven, cooling fan, adjusts the cooling flow to the specific requirements of the engine. It sets the QAC 1450 TwinPower apart. It guarantees fuel savings up to 40% in variable load applications. This model is specifically designed for intensive use in applications like independent power plants (IPP) and offshore applications. • Variable Speed Drive • 20 ft. container • Two engines x 725 kVA • DNV certificate (optional) • Multi voltage Find out more here https://bit.ly/3tJMcSl #AtlasCopco #TwinPower #Generator

The factory has been non-stop with embedding #InterBolt technology into #blade studs for the last few months. Today, equipment for another 30 Siemens turbines left us for three different wind farms in the UK and Canada. Once deployed, Operators will be able to remotely monitor the #bolt load of blade connections, enabling them to predict and prevent failures. If you are suffering from blade bolting issues, get in touch to see how InterBolt technology can address this. #windindustry #boltingsolution #bolts #iiot #offshorewind #onshorewind
