Improved Performance, Lower emissions
TurboCare brush-seal innovations have been proven to cut leakage and improve
efficiency in aircraft and industrial steam turbines - and now the same TurboCare
technology is available for Frame 5, 6 and 7 gas turbines. Bring your unit up
to current industry standards at your next outage - and remain competitive in
the marketplace.
The standard (now obsolete) technology for controlling parasitic airflow is sharp-tooth
metal restrictions similar to labyrinth seals, installed with a tight clearance.
But fixed teeth can be damaged by transients and high-speed contact between tooth
and rotor. When clearances are compromised, efficiency drops and emissions increase.
The solution is TurboCare Gas Turbine Brush Seals, which provide a tight seal
that can handle transients and spring back to design clearance.
