Cutting Tip Seal Clearance to Improve Efficiency

About 40% of efficiency losses in large steam turbines come from excessive seal clearances at blade tip seals. TurboCare can help eliminate tip-seal losses, reduce tip-seal damage, and control excessive erosion with improved tip seal parts custom designed to fit your turbine.

We manufacture and install Tip Seals, HELP'R ^TM Seals and J-strips for all OEM machines--boosting efficiency and reliability. In most cases, turbine "J" Strips can be rolled to the required diameter and shipped within 24 hours. Other ways to prevent erosion include applying erosion-resistant coatings, replacing OEM-supplied bronze seals with TurboCare long-lasting steel alloy tip seals, and adding our patented HELP'R ^TM Seals, designed to remove the harmful particulates that cause excessive erosion. Installing TurboCare Brush Tip Seals can further reduce the seal clearance and efficiency losses.  Contact Turbocare for solutions to tip-seal problems.
