GE Power Systems
OPERATING FACTORS AFFECTING MAINTENANCE The effect of maintenance factors for fuel, starts, environment and load duty cycles are cumulative. As the maintenance factor increases, the time between inspections and component repairs decreases and it is possible that component replacement frequency will increase.

MAINTENANCE FACTORS Hours Based Hot Gas Path
Maintenance Interval = 24000 (Hours) Maintenance Factor Where: Maintenance Factor = Factored Hours / Actual Hours MF = Factored Hours = (K + M * I) * (G + 1.5D + AfH + 6P) Actual Hours = (G + D + H + P)
GE Power Systems
G = Annual Base Load Operating Hours on Gas Fuel D = Annual Base Load Operating Hours on Distillate Fuel H = Annual Operating Hours on Heavy Fuel Af = Heavy Fuel Severity Factor (Residual Af = 3 to 4, Crude Af = 2 to 3) P = Annual Peak Load Operating Hours I = Percent Water/Steam Injection Referenced to Inlet Air Flow M & K = Water/Steam Injection Constants

MF =
Factored Starts = (0.5NA + NB + 1.3NP + 20E + 2F + aT1 T1) i=1 Actual Starts = (NA + NB + NP + E + F + T)
NA = Annual Number of Part Load/Stop Cycles (<60% Load) NB = Annual Number of Normal Base Load Start/Stop Cycles NP = Annual Number of Peak Load Start/Stop Cycles E = Annual Number of Emergency Starts F = Annual Number of Fast Load Starts T = Annual Number of Trips aT = Trip Severity Factor = f (Load) n = Number of Trip Categories (I.e., Full Load, Part Load, etc.)

GAS TURBINE MAINTENANCE
Operation of the combustion gas turbine, as any rotating power equipment, must include a planned program of periodic inspection. With accompanying repair and replacement of parts as required, will ensure the maximum availability and reliability of the turbine.
GE Power Systems
OBJECTIVE OF THE GAS TURBINE MAINTENANCE SECTION Describe the inspections and the action to be taken. Identify the components and parts that should be examined. Discuss the Inspection and Maintenance Manual Pre-Inspection Items Standard Practice Review

GE Power Systems
Keep a record of the inspections made, and the maintenance work performed. It is expected that a maintenance program will start with minor work, and increase in magnitude over a period of time to a major overhaul. Optimized inspections will reduce unit outage time and maintenance cost.
g
MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
GE Power Systems
Parts condition information data Initial inspection planning Good maintenance planning for minimum down time requires the availability of replacement parts. Minimum stock of repair parts in a predetermined location. Anticipate needs during outages.
g
PRIOR TO GAS TURBINE MAINTENANCE
GE Power Systems
Clean the compressor per the gas turbine Water Wash. A complete set of operating data including vibration readings should be taken and recorded for reference. Inventory and Inspection of tooling. General walk around inspection prior to tear down. Lock Out / Tag Out (LOTO)
g
GAS TURBINE COMPRESSOR CLEANING
GE Power Systems
The Gas Turbine Water Wash System will be covered in a separate lecture. Gas Turbines operating with Dry Low Nox Combustion Systems should not use solid compounds for compressor cleaning.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE MANUALS
Notes:
Highlights an essential element of a procedure to assure correctness.
Caution:
Indicates a procedure or practice, which if not strictly observed, could result in damage or destruction of equipment.
Warning:
Indicates a procedure or practice, which could result in injury to personnel of loss of life if not followed correctly.

g
LUBRICATION GUIDANCE
GE Power Systems
Lubrication frequency will vary, depending on turbine hours and ambient temperature. It is suggested that records on lubrication intervals be kept to determine variances between periods listed on the chart and those scheduled for a specific installation. Lubricants listed do not exclude comparable products from other oil companies. Use of alternate lubricants must be approved by component manufacture.

ORDERING RENEWAL, REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT PARTS Spare and renewal part orders for General Electric turbines should be placed with your General Electric Company Representative Operations Office. Parts which form one complete working unit must be ordered together. Any new safety features and design improvements are usually incorporated in replacement parts.
GE Power Systems
ORDERING RENEWAL, REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT PARTS If no drawing, parts list or reference publication is available for a part, a sketch or sample of the item, together with all necessary dimensions and description of the parts function, should accompany the order. Store parts in a suitable place to prevent loss or damage. Coat all finished iron or steel surfaces with oil or other suitable compound to protect them for corrosion.
GE Power Systems
RETURNING PARTS FOR REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT Contact your General Electric Company Representative Operations Office for assistance when returning turbine parts to GE. They will supply you with proper procedures as well as supply the required packing instructions, packing lists and shipping labels. A GE representative can be directed to confirm receipt of your parts and explain factory corrective action recommendations.
g
MAINTENANCE PARTS RECOMMENDATIONS
GE Power Systems
Spare parts recommendations are provided to support scheduled combustion, hot gas path and major inspections. Spare parts listings must be used in conjunction with the Parts List and Drawings Volume of the Service Manual. Use the typical spare parts list as a guide, your spare parts stock should be reviewed at a pre-inspection planning meeting.
