Note that before this was done changing the disc material was tried but this did not work. The cracks persisted. The cracks were at the bottom of the fir tree and difficult to see. Note the following details from the figures Where cracks occurred Cracks along grain boundaries Root-disc gap configuration Compressor air and air hot-gas air paths are located at each disc root. Hot air accumulates where it shouldn t. Life-Cycle Assessment L-17 FIG. L-10 As found turbine disc cooling flows. Source Liburdi Engineering.

Power augmentation for a gas turbine in cogeneration service using steam injection. Operation of this system works best when Steam is injected only when a certain power is reached. All excess steam is injected and then the control system is allowed to vary IGVs
