3 Expected replacement intervals
Rotating components
The recommended replacement intervals for compressor and turbine wheels are specified
based on the safety concept for rotating parts (SIKO) and dependant on the operating
conditions. These intervals are shown on the rating plate of the low-pressure and high-
pressure stage.
Depending on the system-specific operating conditions, a differentiation must be made
between the intervals to be expected for:
replacing the bearing parts and
replacing the non-rotating components exposed to hot gas.
A decisive role is played by various influencing parameters which, in extreme cases, can
drastically reduce the replacement interval of these parts.
During the prescribed periodic service work, the individual parts are examined for wear and
replaced if necessary.
Expected replacement intervals [h]
Gas inlet casing 50000 … 100000 35000 … 50000
Gas outlet casing 50000 … 100000 50000 … 100000
Nozzle ring 35000 … 50000 25000 … 50000
Turbine diffuser / cover ring 35000 … 50000 25000 … 50000
