PW Technology Uses Aviation-Derived non-OEM Alternative Parts and Repairs to Provide Best in Class, Innovative Customer Solutions in the Energy Markets

摘要

The development of non-OEM alternative parts and repairs has steadily increased overrnthe past few years. Today, a variety of third parties offer reproductions of major OEMrnturbine components. Pratt & Whitney (P&W), a division of United TechnologiesrnCorporation, is well known for its track record of technical innovation and industryrnleadership in commercial and military aircraft engines. For decades, Pratt & Whitney hasrnalso had a strong presence in the power generation equipment market via FT4 and FT8?rnaeroderivative industrial gas turbine (IGT) products.rnWith the formation of Pratt & Whitney Power Systems (PWPS), P&W made arncommitment to offer innovative, technically advanced parts and repair solutions, basedrnon design approaches, materials and technologies originating in advanced aircraft enginernprograms, for the installed fleet of non-P&W power generation equipment.rnThis presentation will discuss Pratt & Whitney Power Systems use of proprietaryrntechnology to design new, improved engine components and component repair schemesrnto enhance performance and durability characteristics of replacement or repaired turbinerncomponents. Included in the paper will be discussion of:
