Glad someone captured an overview of our work! No matter how good or how bad people may think of it, it shows the "CREW" going through the motions! I can show my family so they can see what it looks like out there in our world. It's hard to capture everything in a video. So hats off to the guy who took the time and efforts to get'er done and make the video and make it available to us. Much appreciated! Millwrights gettin it done!
Best video yet! I ran overhauls for 20 years and NOBODY had any idea of what I did for a living. I did mostly 5 to 20 MW units, hydrogen cooled generators, alignments, controls, oil flushes, etc. We took old steam turbine generators and overhauled them and installed them in new cogen plants in the 80's. I also did marine SSTG sets, main engines, reduction gears, etc., on Navy ships, container ships, bulk carriers and tankers. What I miss the most is the crews. Those were good days when after a 16 hour day I would end up in the motel room so tired that I didn't know if I should eat first, sleep first, or go to the bathroom first. I wish there was a way I could download my experience onto a chip and download it into someone young and full of energy. Thank you for the great video.
I was an ACO at a large power plant in NY we had 4 375mw units, I could never really explain my job either. I used to love when they tore the turbine down, all the rigging and what not. Starting a unit after an over haul was definitely an experience, placw was dirty though.
I just got to watch two of these in person at my place of employment. Just a janitor now but I found it fascinating as I was a Millwrght/Welder on my previous job for 36 years.
Gentlemen the way you did work in a low budget environment makes me think that,you are real heroes,thanks to God none of you lost a member......Congratulations!!!!!!!
I worked on the large steam turbines with General Electric in the sixties and severities, Did most of the machining on the large parts . The machines we operated were not like the ones of today. Also the tooling is far more advanced. So I have to say although today's turbines are made faster the machine operators had more thinking to do, and was possible more skilled, no computers, no carbide tools ,
Awesome, I really enjoyed watched this video 'cause Im mechanic technician and mechanic engineer student. I wish I could worked with turbine. I'mThanks !!
Turbine is a turbine. This whole dick wagging contest comment section is depressing. I mean, a bigger unit is, in many ways, much easier to work on. I think your insecure. This is a great video! I'm a boiler maker/welder and always wondered what these guys were doing as I walk by.
On second look, this unit may be mid-1940s. Seeing the "GE" logo on the exciter cover at the end of the video helped me with this estimate of age. I estimate the power output of this unit to be between 50 and 60 MW. I operated two 1940s era GE turbine generator sets between 1980 and 1995.
+nndorconnetnz I was wondering the same. At first it appeared as if one of the turbine blades are damaged, but then noticed that the other parallel turbines on the shaft are also missing a blade at the same position as the main turbine... wondering why
+Zlatan Klebic They are filler slots. You need to install the blades onto the turbine wheel and slide them around, add more, slide them with a pneumatic impact tool. They fit tightly. Once all the blades are in, a short piece without a blade fits in and gets pinned to keep the blades in place. Then the sections of shroud bands are installed and ''riveted'' in place. This is done in a shop where they can trim the shroud bands in a lathe, then dynamically balance the rotor. The shroud bands have end gaps...only a handful of blades are tied together. Its for expansion control and the bands keep blade harmonics under control. Without them, the blades would vibrate and fail causing tremendous damage.
kimmer6 i still dont really understand...why some parts have big missing slots while other parts of the turbine dont have, aka look normal with complete rotation
+Trenton Book You should try a 1200 Megawatt nuke plant turbine generator. Makes you think you and your bud can take the 100MW apart with a K-Mart socket set. My bread and butter was 5 to 25 MW steam turbines and 3-60 MW gas turbine units. The last overhaul I did was a 20MW steam unit in a lumber mill. We busted ass around the clock for weeks, solved major problems, worked for days with no overhead crane (they killed the 4160 volt lines to install the new road and drain pipes), did the hot oil flush, got everything running leak free, no troubles, overspeed tested, load tested, etc. Got it done 2 days ahead of schedule. Our thanks: The head operator called our company to complain that the crew got dirty fingerprints on the bathroom wall. Stay safe....
Ja tam myślę, że jak Ruscy nie zniszczą atomówek, a nie zniszczą, to Ukraina zawsze trochę prądu będzie miała, dyspozycja mocy będzie tylko musiała trochę pokombinować jak to przesłać. Że latarnie się nie palą? W Warszawie na Wirażowej przy lotnisku też się nie palą, bo są i nie widać autobusu z przystanku, no nie wiem czy ze względu na samoloty, czy ze względów Platformie znanych, PiS to rządy wariatów, miesięcznice obchodzą, rządy Platformy to kleptokracja, raz na miesiąc muszą coś ukraść.

Send some your experience with me I am new to overhaul at simsingh0087@gmail.com

I have an interview comming up.. can you please share your experience .. anything can help.. shashank4mechanical@gmail.com
Enjoy retirement big guy!!!

ارزش هزار بار دیدن را دارد ،واقعا دمه مهندسینش گرم.
❤❤❤
thank you. This helped motivate the younger generation
Great job at capturing the project from start to finish.
It’s so cute and small!!! Like the ones we’ve got in the paper mills. Excellent video!
Same principle as giant 1300 mw ABB turbines we did outages on when I worked AEP (ret.) Those are massive mother's

Best video I have seen!we do it in Poland in the same way. Doosan Poland:}
Superb video... Make more videos and information for making world more talented people in technology.
Best video for lifting weights.
Симфония нашей работы!
Great work. It must be exciting to be part of this magnificent work. Thanks for sharing. Here, You have a loyal subscriber.
Great video, thanks
Best Video. Great work 👍
great work guys
someone coment, Im wondering how often does a turbine need to be broken down and rebuilt?
Hours of operation and #of heat cycles .
Startup and shutdowns are harder on the units than continuous operation
Excellentexperience job
I work in a Co-gen plant. We have a 6 MW generator. It is a little guy.
nice video
Terima kasih
If it was made by Allis Chalmers it wouldn't have had to come apart yet! 👍
Can someone please tell me the the team composition of a power plant engineer when over hauling steam turbine??
I like video
So great..
Is there any vacancy for assistant technician in turbine field.. I'm from India plz reply me
This GE turbine looks a lot like a 30MW Hitachi Turbine of the 1970's.
Remember if that was Elliott Co. Equipment?
Cool video but the music is so cheesy it clogged my arteries.
This is my job mecanical technician gas and steam turbines its really hard job
Why this music?
Turbine is a turbine. This whole dick wagging contest comment section is depressing. I mean, a bigger unit is, in many ways, much easier to work on. I think your insecure.
This is a great video! I'm a boiler maker/welder and always wondered what these guys were doing as I walk by.
Could have been good but why do we need a background of music?
imagine making 1 mistake and have to take it to bits again ?
Steamed them, left the overhaul to the yard birds!
How much an hour?
About how old is this turbine and how much do these things cost new? Its just so well constructed it makes me wonder these things...
I do not know this unit but it looks like an early 1950s installation.
On second look, this unit may be mid-1940s. Seeing the "GE" logo on the exciter cover at the end of the video helped me with this estimate of age. I estimate the power output of this unit to be between 50 and 60 MW. I operated two 1940s era GE turbine generator sets between 1980 and 1995.
Cool，we are peer from china。

That is not all the same unit. Two different ones.
This nuclear plant?
Are some of those disks missing blades?
On purpose?

Gotcha. Now understood. Thank you for describing what that was!
kimmer6 i still dont really understand...why some parts have big missing slots while other parts of the turbine dont have, aka look normal with complete rotation
Para el Perfecto balanceo rotacional del rotor por eso es que no tienen algunos blades en diferentes ruedas
this baby turbaine i m working 323 MW tubaine as a crane operator
roter wigth 48 tone.
Sir..give me fully information about turbine
This is awesome. How does one get into a field like this?
Sebastian Anile look into your local trade schools for Turbine maintenance repair and inspection courses. Make sure not yo confuse it with Aviation 👌

How many stages
2 high and low.
16 stages a GE turbine 40 MW

lesson learned: next time take your time :)
1400 MW baby.. That's the way we roll...
AEP 1300 mw ABB turbines lot of bull work on those mother's
Great video, shame to spoil it with such bloody awful annoying misinformation!
Should read. Annoying music.
