REPAIR OF 120 MW TURBINE BEARING UNDERTAKEN FOR A LEADING NIGERIAN STEEL COMPANY:-
We were approached by a leading steel company based in Nigeria to undertake the Rebabbitting of a white metal turbine bearing having a capacity of 120 MW. They have been getting previously the repairs done by a company based in Europe which failed in a short duration of operation, never gave satisfactory performance, and charged exorbitantly.
RA Power Solutions undertook the successful repair of rebabbitting of the 120 MW turbine bearing.
THE DETAILED MAIN DIMENSIONS OF THE TURBINE BEARING ARE MENTIONED BELOW:
| S. NO | Dimensions of Turbine Bearing | |
| 1 | Nominal Bore | 315 mm |
| 2 | Width of Bearing | 257 mm |
| 3 | OD of Bearing | 445 mm |
| 4 | Height of bearing | 260 mm |
| 5 | Finishing bore diameter | 315.42+0.02-0.00mm |
| 6 | Weight | 150 kg |
ON RECEIPT OF BEARING FROM NIGERIA IT WAS THOROUGHLY INSPECTED FOR THE FOLLOWING:-
- The old white Babbitt metal was removed under a controlled temperature.
- Shot blasting of the bearing shell was undertaken.
- The hardness of the inner diameter was checked.
- Crack detection by MPI and dye-penetration test was undertaken of bearing steel casing.
- A crack detection test by ultrasound method was done before and after Rebabbitting.
- Ultrasound was again done to check the bonding of Babbitt white metal with steel casing.
- Assistance was provided in the transportation of heavy bearings to our works for white metal rebabbitting from other countries.
- We provide complete assistance in the export of damaged bearings and return of bearings to the end-user after turbine bearing repair.
- We have a definite advantage of our location as we are only 30 30-minute drive from New Delhi International Airport.
