Coupling of gas turbines is an indispensable factor for the smooth running of gas turbines. Mechanical couplings link the shaft of the turbine to other turning tool, such as a generator or compressor. They assist in the transfer of power from the turbine to the attached machinery and join these two devices together perfectly.
The gas turbine coupling must be properly done for optimal gas turbine operation. A well-kept coupling wards off vibration, misalignment and other issues that may cause downtime and costly repairs. It is also a way how the power is optimally transferred from the turbine to the load resulting in an optimized performance.
Grid Couplings: Grid couplings are flexible and capable of handling shock loads and vibration. These work well for applications that have lots of starting and stopping.
Frequent Inspection: Inspect couplings at frequent intervals for wear, misalignment, or damage. Deal with problems quickly so as not to allow the situation to deteriorate.
Lubrication - Good lubrication is crucial to minimize friction and wear of the coupling. It is important to use the right type and right amount of lubricant recommended by the manufacturer.
Vibration: Too much vibration may be a sign that the coupling parts are either misaligned or worn. Inspect your dishwasher’s door switch for countering it and execute the position closer or fasten the loose bracket.
Overheating: Heat is generated due to insufficient grease or the applied load. Be sure that you lubricate the coupling sufficiently and decrease the load if needed.
