Failures in Steam Turbine and Solutions

Category: Business

A steam Turbine is a power generating equipment. If steam turbines shut down for a longer duration it becomes a huge loss of power and it also affects on production rate. There are many failures that occur in the steam turbine at running condition. Following are some major failures in a steam turbine. Blades failure – Blades generally failed due to crack which is the effect of fatigue, corrosion, pitting, and creep. There are three main causes of blade failure – The cause of failure on the blade is influenced by several factors such as fatigue, creep, oxidation, corrosion, erosion, and surface degradation due to working at high temperatures. https://turtleturbines.com/failures-in-steam-turbine-and-solutions/
