Thermocouple repair of gt 2 at Olorunsogo power plant
Fault Diagnosis and Assessment: Our team conducted a thorough diagnostic of the faulty thermocouples in GT 2, identifying malfunctioning sensors responsible for inaccurate temperature readings. We analyzed system data and performed physical inspections to determine the extent of the repairs needed.
Thermocouple Removal and Testing: We safely removed the faulty thermocouples from the turbine unit, ensuring that all other critical components were protected during the process. Each thermocouple was tested using advanced diagnostic tools to assess its condition, pinpointing the exact causes of failure, such as wear, calibration drift, or material degradation.
Replacement and Calibration: Based on the diagnostic results, we either repaired the existing thermocouples or replaced them with new, high-precision models. All new thermocouples were calibrated to ensure optimal performance, adhering to the specific operating conditions of GT 2 and the power plant’s requirements for accuracy.
Installation and Integration: Once repaired or replaced, the thermocouples were carefully installed back into the gas turbine. Our engineers ensured that the new thermocouples were correctly integrated into the turbine control system, providing precise real-time temperature data to monitor combustion processes and prevent overheating or damage.
System Testing and Commissioning: After installation, we conducted comprehensive system tests to verify that the new thermocouples were functioning correctly and providing accurate readings. The turbine was run through various operational scenarios to confirm that the thermocouples were reliable and that the turbine could safely handle load changes without thermal stress.
Preventive Maintenance Recommendations: To prolong the life of the thermocouples and ensure continued accuracy in temperature monitoring, we provided the Olorunsogo Power Plant with a set of preventive maintenance guidelines. This included regular calibration schedules, inspection routines, and best practices for operating under extreme temperatures.
