Common issues
- Compressor wheel fouling due to poor air filtration
- Turbine blade erosion from high-temperature exhaust gases
- Bearing wear and vibration caused by misalignment or imbalance
- Overspeed trips due to faulty governor or actuator malfunction
- Lubrication system contamination or oil leakage
- Diffuser and nozzle ring wear from high-velocity gas flow
- Seal failure due to worn or damaged shaft sleeves
Inspection checklist
- Compressor and turbine blade condition
- Bearing housing and shaft seal condition
- Lubrication system oil level and quality
- Governor and actuator function and calibration
- Diffuser and nozzle ring condition
- Turbine inlet and outlet temperature
- Vibration analysis and balance check
- Shaft alignment and coupling condition
- Air filter condition and differential pressure
