WHAT ARE TURBINE INSULATION JACKETS ? WHERE ARE THEIR USAGE PLACES?
Turbine insulation is a special system that surrounds turbines and keeps the high temperature, pressure and chemical properties inside them under control. These systems contribute to energy saving, worker safety and extending the life of turbines. In addition, it provides protection against chemical effects and increases the compliance of the installation with environmental regulations.
Turbines are indispensable devices in energy production. However, turbines exposed to high temperatures, pressures and vibrations require special maintenance and protection for energy efficiency, safety and durability. This is where turbine insulation and isolation come into play.
One of the factors affecting the efficiency of power plants that produce electricity with gas turbines and steam turbines is heat insulation.
The heat escaping from the uninsulated gas turbine reduces the heat transferred to the water boiler, accordingly the amount of steam entering the steam turbine decreases and production efficiency decreases
In addition, the high-temperature, uninsulated turbine body poses major health risks for workers.
Non-insulated steam turbines carry the same risks as gas turbines.
Detachable insulation jackets to be applied to prevent these problems;
• Able to withstand environmental conditions such as temperature and vibration in the turbine
• It will not allow gas vapor in the environment to create an explosion risk.
• It must have a structure that can withstand oil and fuel leaks on the surfaces.
Providing these features is possible with the use of certified products and installation by a professional team.
Advantages of Turbine Insulation and Insulation:
Provides energy savings.
Resistant to high temperature and pressure.
Provides protection against chemical substances.
Reduces the risk of freezing and corrosion.
Increases worker safety.
Reduces maintenance costs.
Complies with environmental regulations.
Provides vibration control.
USAGE AREAS :
Power plants: Turbines are widely used in thermal, hydroelectric and nuclear power plants.
Removable insulation systems help Gas and Steam Turbines operate safer and at maximum potential.
Steam Turbines located in Power Plants and businesses that produce their own electricity are equipment that need to be insulated due to the maximum temperature they reach.
By applying multiple layers of Turbine Insulation, the temperature on the machine and its connections is ensured to reach the ambient temperature level.
