Our enhanced Siemens V94.3A Turbine new parts use proprietary advanced technology. The improved designs of the components, based on the extensive repair history of these OEM products, extend the service life by minimizing oxidation, creep, and metal temperatures.
The improved designs address field distress issues including:
- Optimized internal cooling to reduce metal temperature without increasing cooling air requirements;
- Platform cooling to address platform thermal-mechanical fatigue (TMF);
- Modified geometry to reduce stresses that lead to cracking;
- Blade tip cooling enhancements to improve repairability at overhaul; and refined placement of film cooling holes to address local areas of distress;
- And the refined placement of film cooling holes to address local areas of distress.
