Preventing Internal Leakage

Replacing snout rings at every overhaul is critical for efficient turbine operation. Damaged or worn rings can cause a substantial loss of efficiency. Simply disassembling snout assemblies without unstacking the rings leaves the condition of the outer rings unknown--and potential leakage unrepaired.

TurboCare manufactures conventional chromoly snout rings to match the thermal expansion of the unit. To speed and simplify installation, we custom-size rings before shipment so that final machining at assembly is not necessary. Conventional snout rings made to order during the outage means no more obsolete inventory, no "last-ditch" parts orders. Custom manufacturing during the overhaul eliminates inventory carrying costs.

Most customers consider TurboCare's Articulated Snout Rings to be a superior option as compared to conventional replacement to improve turbine efficiency as well as simplyfy future maintenance requirements.
