mijn Gasturbine 260 MW siemens V94.3 a

[laloboxing]

is this a W501F?

[MrTatty1985]

It's not to stretch it it's to get the slight sag out of the shaft that developes when it's stationary

[brsravankumar]

owsome. and thanks to show me how tubine look like

[IhanNormal]

Good to keep turbine running while service. Very good to keep highpressure'liftoil' systems running while turbogenerator on service.

[deaftodd]

i want that



[TheCoD456Gamer]

Take a bunch of cans of WD-40 and make that thing spin faster!

[anoniemchannel]

oke and what are you doing with it lol :P

[cheifton55]

is that the same one that fell when they were maintaining it? I guess the crain failed and the turbine fell like 10 ft into the hauseing...... opps

[Opelneuling]

made in germany ;)

[jr77037]

Maverick, the gaps between the different stages are there for a reason. The video shows the rotor with the top casing removed. In between each stage set a diaphragm which houses stationary vane in the opposite direction that the turbine blades and buckets are positioned to optimize air flow. Also all the blades on the rotor turn at the same speed from the front (compression side) all the way to the rear (combustion side). It is a gas turbine and not a steam turbine as well.

[frontierguy77]

thats the biggest gasser I have ever seen!

[bennyboots]

What a beauty!

[NickBlackDIN]

all the compressor blades move at the same rpm?

[theater40]

@NickBlackDIN i think so because there all attached to the same shaft

[Maverickf22flyer]

And on the same side, lol, that tends to reduce the compressor performances for each further stage, as the air tends to rather rotate with the blades than follow a linear flow!

It should at least have some stationary blades inbetween the rotor ones, if it's not possible to have conter-rotating blades which radically increase performances...!

[coogkiller]

it does have stationary blades... they are on the inside of the casing

[stealhty1]

ok what about it ??????????

[alessandrolupo]

The Ansaldo Energia version is BETTER!!!

[Brizboy]

This is a steam turbine generating unit and they just testing the rotation gap between the stationary blades.

[oozt]

effieciency?

[affengsicht1]

@oozt ~58%

[RestauranteChines]

Its huge. It runs on gas? I thought power generators were fed by vapor turbines. Wich is more rentable gas or vapor? I guess gas...

[wdp5567]

16 stage compressor and 4 stage turbine

[alehug]

I saw this turbine or one like it in a episode of national geo.

[gummel82]

20'000$ per blade

[lon9i9]

So when it suck a bird in it basically liquifies it? Like in a blender? That really sux.

[lincolncheddar]

they dont suck birds in. most turbines use a trash screen at the inlet ducting plus air filters

[vanwahlgren]

Is this Gas Turbine or Steam turbine?

[gully454]

Looks like steam to me because of the lower frame. i have never seen a gas turbine that comes apart in two halves like that.

Also, if its a gas turbine where is all the fuel hydraulics and electrical spaghetti on that lower half?

[tinramm]

it's a gas turbine.

[MySimon25]

is it a solid rotor or built-up?

[snoopdoops]

It is built up. Each rotor disc is engaged to the next one by Hurth serations. The whole lot is clamed together by a single tie rod through the centre, pretensioned with a huge nut on the end. Sounds really primative, but it certainly isn't. The standard of engineering on these gas turbines is world class. I operate one of these awsome beasts in a power station. 6 minutes from barring speed to 3000rpm and synchronised to the grid. The sound makes your spine chill.

[ILMazze]

I visited the GE factory of gas turbine and compressors in Florence... impressive!

[turbinenmann]

oververhitte stoom???? denk ik niet! jonge dit is een gasturbine dus ze jagen gas dorheen;-) kaaskopjes ;-) groetjes van een siemens medewerker

[Aractophragnus]

What a beautiful work of art. You rule, Siemens.

[GrasEater]

wat deoet zon ding??

[vsopxo]

Zo'n ding zorgt dat jij stroom uit je stopcontact krijgt thuis

[GrasEater]

hoe draait dat dan ? dat heeft tog ook stroom nodig?

[vsopxo]

nee, dat ding levert stroom, ze jagen er oververhitte stoom doorheen door water te verhitten, heel snel en dan gaat de turbine draaien, zetten ze er een generator achter en die levert de stroom... das het basisprincipe van een elektriciteitscentrale

[GrasEater]

zon ding kost tog veel?? maar krijg je dan je geld na een tijd van terug?

[vsopxo]

geld terug... wat praat jij nou weer

[lolerdelol]

haha wat en leipo ben jij:P

[turbinenmann]

250000€ per dag krijg je terug!

[brahim19804]

je pense que c un compresseur acsiale

[harleyhaynes]

More than likely going to remove the rotor. I have seen so much garbage around turbine and compressor rotors while on turning gear. It is plain to see the FME on this turbine deck is non-existent. They are most likely checking something else in the train and the guy is just there as a look out while on turning gear.

[gescoboza]

holy shit! that bitch is big !

[kimmer6]

Ha! Tung Hsaio. I worked on the old frame 5 GE's next door in 1980 when Mt. St. Helens blew up. They were ancient then. The Frame 7's and the Brown Boveri single combustor units were just being built.

[Waldfuerst114]

as far as I know the stators are in the housing of the turbine/compressor itself. so the rotor blades looking out and the stator blades looking into the engine.

[kimmer6]

This machine is on the half shell. The upper stator blades came off with the shells. You can see 3 stator blades on the lower right in the lower half of the housing. The 14 stage compressor is on the right and the 4 stage turbine is on the left. At 19 sec I see the #1 and thrust bearing OPENED! Scarey! The lower half of the thrust brng can roll out and that rotor can peel out some stator blades before you shut off the turning gear. The tarp is way too close to the 4th turbine stage for me!

[kimmer6]

Woops, 16 stage compressor, maybe more. Hard to see... Some GE's I worked on had 17 stage compressor and 3 stage turbine on a single shaft like this unit. Check out the guy by the ladder next to the exhaust at 0:06 to get some idea of the size. My guess, this is 50 cycle generator drive, 3000 rpm, 482,000 horsepower at rated load. I used to overhaul stuff like this and now I feed squirrels and window peep for excitement. This brings back so many memories....

[snoopdoops]

You are quite right kimmer6, it is a 50 cycle unit designed and used for power generation. 265MW in open cycle (simple) operation, but generally used in combined cycle plants where the exhaust gases are used to generate steam in a heat recovery boiler and thus power a steam turbine. Typical combined output for a combined cycle installation using a V94.3a2 is 390MW and a thermal efficiency of circa 60%.

[Monnekre]

People, this was done to stretch the engine to make measurements.

[mitrathomas]

Where are the stators man? Isn't that a compressor.

[pollolocol]

Stators are in the casing because they are non-rotating parts.

[ferretflasher]

Not something you see everyday! Why was it cranking though? I can see the bearing keeps are fitted but why the need for turning.

[ferretflasher]

I hardly think so....more likely to bed the lab seals in and allow them to cut new grooves if they have had new bearings etc fitted.

I doubt SIEMENS would tolerate ANY materials in the disc or blade areas, just far too expensive to risk me thinks!!!

[Shazee083]

Terroriest that how the learn lol

[hellfeeter]

great

[deathofstarsx]

go siemens!

[kleinge34]

ich wollte nur mitteilen, dass es sich bestimmt hierbei um Firmengeheimnisse handelt und sowas bestimmt strafbar ist, wetten?

[fillersZ]

I work a Siemens =) Turning Steamturbines!

[membranaboy]

sieht schon genial aus ... schade das die Drehzahl so langsam ist :-D

[finhakpiva]

I Work the steam turbine 360MW, Ansaldo.
