Hot-to-Cold Gas Turbine expansion joint for High Performance and Reliability

Overview

The Hot-to-Cold Gas Turbine expansion joint is engineered to provide a seamless connection between different temperature zones in gas turbines. Designed for both durability and functionality, it ensures reliable performance where one flange operates at high exhaust gas temperatures and the other is in an internally insulated region.

Solution: Innovative Design for Extreme Conditions

This expansion joint features a specialized design to address the challenges of varying temperatures:

Non-insulated flange side: The expansion joint cushion is secured to anchor pins using insulation washers and welded to the guide body, ensuring reliability and leak-proof performance under high temperatures.
Insulated flange side: Features slotted guide plates mounted with welded studs (gijons) on the connection flange. This allows the plates to move freely within the slotted holes in response to temperature-induced expansion, effectively absorbing thermal movements and minimizing structural stress.

This innovative system enables the expansion joint to handle thermal expansions efficiently, ensuring long-term reliability and reducing maintenance needs.

Maximum Efficiency in Harsh Conditions

Tailored to meet the intense thermal and mechanical demands of gas turbines, this expansion joint delivers superior performance across temperature transitions. Its robust design ensures system longevity, operational efficiency, and minimal maintenance, making it an ideal solution for the energy sector’s challenging environments.
