In October 2016 our company "Advice Turbine Engineering" LLC (ATE) signed a contract with "ICL-Engineering" LLC (the General contractor of the project) for modernization (retrofit) of two TRENT 60 gas turbine Air Intake System (AIS) installed on PGU 135 Budyonovskaya TES (owner "LUKOIL - Stavropolenergo").
ATE need to provide in this project:
- design, manufacture and shippment of original cooling modules (own ATE design) instead of the regular Empty Duct Module (EDM) of AIS. These cooling modules should to provide cooling of the intake air to prevent the fall of the TRENT 60 gas turbines output in the summer/hot season;
- development of technology, designing of special equipment (auxiliaries) and fixtures to replace on site the regular EDM of AIS which need to be fulfilled in a limited space area of production workshop and during shortest time;
- development and delivery of the system based on infrared heaters for heating of AIS input section to prevent icing during ambient weather condition + 5˚ C ÷ - 5˚ C and relative humidity ≥ 60 % ;
- supervision of erection and commissioning processes on site.
