Top Ways To Improve Gas Turbine Performance
Share This

No business wants to lose money. If your gas turbine is operating below peak performance, you can fix it. Follow these ways and watch your gas turbine’s performance improve.

Use the Correct Fuel

It’s partially true that a gas turbine can burn any fuel. The type of gasoline you use drastically affects the power output. Take time to consider which option is best for your turbine.

The gasoline’s properties will affect auto-ignition temperature, stoichiometric flame temperature, heat content, auto-ignition delay time, and flammability. Your OEM will provide guidance for choosing the correct fuel. Keep in mind that different gas turbines succeed on select fuels.

Clean the Compressor

Cleaning the compressor is a cost-effective and easy way to improve your gas turbine’s performance. Foulants build up on the blades due to operation over time. These deposits interrupt airflow, lower turbine output, and increase temperatures.

Schedule Regular Maintenance

Maintenance is vital to improving your gas turbine’s performance. You want an efficient system rewarding you with excellent output; care will make this happen. The costs are worth the increased lifespan and performance.

Gas turbines have common problems you should look out for; regular maintenance will catch issues before they worsen, and you can fix them before they become costly. Work with professionals to create a schedule, and stick with it.

Watch the Temperature

Gas turbines don’t operate efficiently at high temperatures. Low-density air results in low productivity. Dense air yields higher productivity. Temperature affects the air’s density, so maintain an ideal temperature to keep your gas turbine at peak performance.

Place evaporative cooling equipment in the inlet ducting to aid temperature control. It provides denser, cooler air to the compressor.

Improving your gas turbine’s performance will yield better output. Watching the temperature, scheduling maintenance, and cleaning the compressor will enhance the turbine’s productivity.
