      Fatigue failure of Governing Valve Linkage Rod end bearing and wear marks on several parts was observed on a extraction steam turbine (driving a centrifugal compressor) after it was in service for more than 9 year. The top ...
    • Nishiyama, Kenichi; Jain, Mayank; Fuchiwaki, Shunsuke; Woon Lip, Teo (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
      A 56 MW steam turbine tripped several times over a short period of time although the trip signal was not sent. A thorough examination of the turbine at site ruled out any problems with the trip system. The pressure data ...
