Steam Turbine Upgrades

Steam turbine upgrades installation.

Advanced 3D Design

Mitsubishi provides a wide variety of Steam path upgrades for Mitsubishi technology Steam Turbines as well as wide range of other manufacturers. In addition to 1100 Mitsubishi designed units in operation, Mitsubishi has manufactured over 400 new steam turbine units incorporating design features resulting from the 40-year co-development effort between Mitsubishi & Westinghouse. The Mitsubishi approach has evolved from a thorough analysis of the blading and other fleet operating issues, culminating in improved designs, particularly our interlocked integral shroud blades (ISB). Through extensive ongoing R&D efforts, Mitsubishi developed and continues to refine our three dimensional blade designs to provide the most efficient and durable blade paths.

Improved Reliability & Extended Performance

Our new cylinder, blade ring and seal carrier designs maintain the blade path alignment and sealing efficiency by avoiding thermal distortion. Through advanced 3D modeling the thermal growth of the new stationary components matches the thermal growth of the rotor to maintain tight seal clearances. Our advanced ISB blades provide high damping characteristics to allow a full range of operating load even at high backpressure conditions. This robust design and the absolute requirement to test all new technologies in our in-house facility have resulted in the long term reliable performance of our replacement components.

Turnkey Installation

To assure the smoothest installation of our replacement rotors and stationary components, Mitsubishi provides turnkey installation including startup support. We provide single point dedicated project management from contract signature through final acceptance testing.
