Field Problem / Customer Requirement
The Cold-to-Cold Gas Turbine Expansion Joint, which provides an effective connection in areas where both connection flanges have internal insulation in gas turbines, stands out with its durability and reliability against high temperature fluctuations. This model effectively manages thermal expansions while preventing the expansion joint frame from being directly exposed to the hot gas flow.
BundleTec Innovation and Engineering Solution
Welded studs on the connection flanges are used for the installation of slotted guide plates. This design allows the suspended guide plates to move freely in the direction and amount permitted by the slotted holes in response to temperature increases. This mobility ensures effective management of structural stresses caused by thermal expansion and extends the service life of the system.
Ensuring that no part of the expansion joint frame is directly exposed to the hot gas flow guarantees the longevity and high performance of the structure. This innovative design adapts to the demanding operating conditions of gas turbines while increasing system 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.
This expansion joint is designed as a solution suitable for the demanding needs of the energy sector, offering high performance and reliability in gas turbines.
