extending the useful service life of this aging fleet of turbines as an alternative to investment in<br />
new facilities. Their objective is to maintain this capacity as long as possible at a minimum cost.<br />
Two factors are critical in order to achieve this objective. They are: 1) implementing good<br />
operation <strong>and</strong> maintenance practices <strong>and</strong>, 2) keeping track of the availability of critical<br />
components. In order to address these issues, members of the Combustion Turbine <strong>and</strong><br />
Combined Cycle (CTC 2 ) Users’ organization initiated two projects. Project #AERO 95‐01<br />
addresses the operation <strong>and</strong> maintenance practices, <strong>and</strong> project #AERO 95‐<strong>02</strong> addresses the<br />
availability of critical components. This report contains the results of work carried out under<br />
the first project: AERO 95‐01 ‐‐ Good Maintenance Practices Guide Book <strong>for</strong> Pratt & Whitney<br />
FT4‐A8 <strong>and</strong> ‐A9 Power Packs.<br />
Aero 95‐<strong>02</strong>: A Survey of Pratt & Whitney FT4‐A8 <strong>and</strong> A9 Aero‐Derivative Gas<br />
Turbine Parts Availability. December 1996.<br />
There a number of utilities who operate Pratt & Whitney (P&W) FT4 A‐8 <strong>and</strong> A‐9 aero‐<br />
derivative gas turbines in peaking duty. Most of these turbines have been in operation since the<br />
mid‐1960’s. The current day economic <strong>and</strong> regulatory climate is causing many utilities to look<br />
closely at extending the useful service life of this aging fleet of turbines as an alternative to<br />
investment in new facilities. Their objective is to maintain this capacity as long as possible at a<br />
minimum cost. Two factors are critical in order to achieve this objective. They are: 1)<br />
implementing good operation <strong>and</strong> maintenance practices <strong>and</strong>, 2) keeping track of the<br />
availability of critical components. In order to address these issues members of the Combustion<br />
Turbine <strong>and</strong> Combined Cycle User's Organization (CTC 2 ) initiated two projects. Project number<br />
AERO 95‐01 addresses the operation <strong>and</strong> maintenance practices, <strong>and</strong> project number AERO 95‐<br />
<strong>02</strong> addresses the availability of critical components. This report contains the results of work<br />
carried out under AERO 95‐<strong>02</strong> — Identify Suitable Replacements <strong>for</strong> Obsolete/Inadequate OEM<br />
Equipment <strong>for</strong> Pratt & Whitney FT4 Engines.<br />
GE96‐06: Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC) <strong>Repair</strong> Specifications <strong>for</strong> GE MS7001<br />
Combustor Liners <strong>and</strong> Transition Pieces. December 1996.<br />
The purpose of this project was to produce a purchasing specification <strong>for</strong> the application of<br />
Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBC’s) to extend the life of service exposed MS7001 combustion<br />
hardware. The specification produced covers the minimum technical, processing <strong>and</strong> quality<br />
requirements <strong>for</strong> coating of components used in the B, E, EA, F <strong>and</strong> FA versions of the engine.
