Field Problem / Customer Requirement
Providing an effective connection in areas of gas turbines where both connection flanges have internal insulation, the Cold-to-Cold Gas Turbine Expansion Joint stands out with its durability and reliability against high temperature fluctuations. This model effectively manages thermal expansions while preventing the expansion joint framework from being directly exposed to the hot gas flow.
BundleTec Innovation and Engineering Solution
Threaded rods (studs) welded to the connection flanges are used for mounting the slotted flow liners. This design allows the suspended flow liners to move freely in the direction and amount permitted by the slotted holes in response to temperature increases. This mobility ensures the effective management of structural stresses brought about by thermal expansion and extends the system's lifespan.
The fact that no part of the expansion joint framework is directly exposed to the hot gas flow guarantees that the structure is long-lasting and high-performing. This innovative design adapts to the harsh operating conditions of gas turbines while increasing the system's reliability and minimizing maintenance requirements.
The Cold-to-Cold Gas Turbine Expansion Joint is designed to increase efficiency in energy production processes. Thanks to its insulated structure, it minimizes energy losses in the system and supports operational continuity.
By offering high performance and reliability in gas turbines, this expansion joint is designed as a solution tailored to the demanding needs of the energy sector.
