Exhauster Fan <strong>Repair</strong><br />
Titanium Putty / Brushable Ceramic<br />
6/1/90<br />
Pennsylvania Power <strong>and</strong> Light<br />
Utility Power Generation<br />
Problem:<br />
This exhauster fan would receive extreme corrosive <strong>and</strong> abrasive wear at the bore or inlet from a<br />
combination of fly ash, flume steam <strong>and</strong> sulfuric acid. The wear was so severe that a new ring needed to<br />
be fabricated, welded into position, <strong>and</strong> then machine to specification.<br />
Solution:<br />
The complete bore or inlet area was s<strong>and</strong>blasted to a SSPC-SP5 white metal finish. The surface area was<br />
chemically cleaned using Cleaner Blend 300. Titanium Putty was applied to all eroded areas greater than<br />
1/8” deep. Following a partial cure of Titanium Putty, (2 hours), Brushable Ceramic was applied to a<br />
thickness of 25 mils. Following a partial cure of Brushable Ceramic, (4 hours), a second coat was applied,<br />
again to a thickness of 25”mils. Brushable Ceramic encapsulated repair areas <strong>and</strong> provided a long lasting,<br />
abrasion <strong>and</strong> corrosion resistant, protective surface coating.
