  3. Maintenance History And Key Findings
    1. All inspections were executed by the original equipment manufacturer Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery AB, Finspong, Sweden for the gas generator and Siemens Energy, Essen, Germany for the electric generator
    2. 11/2008 at 9,158 EOH / 110 starts: A-inspection – execution of a planned A-inspection according to OEM maintenance plan; visual/borescope inspection of air intake system, guide vane control, compressor rotor, fuel injector, central casing, turbine rotor, outlet casing, exhaust diffuser, main gearbox; bleed valve adjustments, sensor exchange and minor repair works executed; result: unit is in serviceable condition
    3. 03/2009 at 12,422 EOH / 124 starts: Exchange OS hard drive, vibration measurements and balancing on site – exchange of Bently Nevada cards and controller logic changes; control and bleed valve corrective adjustment; correction of elevated GT bearing vibrations after a GT trip
    4. 02/2010 at 21,445 EOH / 137 starts: B-inspection – execution of B-inspection according to OEM maintenance plan; inspection at OEM factory of all rotors, casings, bearings, fuel injectors, fuel manifold, combustor; result: area inside turbine is wet from washing liquid, corrosion at stationary and rotary parts detected; compressor rotor was replaced; new insulation at central and outlet casing installed; unit was upgraded to A+ as per OEM package; original compressor rotor was replaced with a similar rotor and was balanced together with the turbine rotor in the balancing test facility in Finspong; the seal support ring (HG 2580) was replaced with new ring due to new design; on the central casing and outlet casing new insulation were installed according to latest design
    5. 05/2011 at 32,977 EOH / 156 starts: A-inspection – execution of a planned A-inspection together with a logic modification regarding anti-icing system and time synchronization; findings at ventilation system, air intake system, inlet piece, compressor blades, compressor stator, combustor, fuel manifold, turbine blades, main gear box; compressor was found clean, minor corrosion; minor oxidation at the combustor with small loss of material on the outer heat shield in front of guide vanes; turbine blade no. 1, minor TBC loss was observed at the blade tips and a few blades has TBC loss at the platform; the main gear pinion wheel and main wheel has white colorized spots on the cog tips from oil spray nozzles; result: unit found in serviceable condition, some corrosion at blades and vanes at compressor and turbine was detected
    6. 04/2014 at 57,851 EOH / 180 starts: A-inspection – execution of A-inspection according to OEM maintenance plan; result: missing protection cover at the start motor fan identified as safety risk, damaged cables at vibration measurement for the starter motor detected, oxidation at battery detected, need for maintenance at fuel gas isolation valve identified, PT100 temperature transmitter exchanged
