BORESCOPE TECHNIQUES APPLIED TO MAINTENANCE PRACTICES ON MARINE HEAVY-DUTY GAS TURBINES

This paper describes the maintenance requirements of the Heavy-Duty Gas Turbine in Marine Applications and the accessibility designed into the turbine to allow the operator to carry out both required repair work and classification society machinery surveys with the minimum time dictated by the vessels dry-docking periods and time in port during loading and unloading operations. The use of borescope for evaluation of the internal condition of the turbine without disassembly work or outage time is demonstrated.
