REPAIRS

At Pratt & Whitney Power Systems (PWPS), it is our goal to provide value-based gas turbine solutions for our customers by incorporating customer feedback, component optimization and the advantage of 80 years of technology development from our extensive high temperature aviation heritage.

PWPS is leveraging Pratt & Whitney's world renowned hot sec­tion engineering to address the needs of the industrial gas turbine customer.

By listening to you, our customer, PWPS is able to tailor solu­tions to meet your needs.

Through our flexibility, experience and focus on exceeding cus­tomer expectations, Pratt & Whitney Power Systems ensures the right solution for you.

Pratt & Whitney has an extensive proven history of producing industry leading technological solutions for the aviation market. We utilize this advantage by applying our proprietary technology to create new and innovative solutions for our industrial

customers.

Pratt & Whitney's Advanced Proprietary Technology includes:

• High Temperature Technology

• Alloys

• Metallic Coatings

• Ceramic Coatings

• Film Cooling

• Multi-Disciplinary Optimization

• Tip Clearance Material Systems

• Advanced Computational Modeling Techniques

The first step in implementing an advanced repair technique is to properly understand the conditions under which the components operate.

On each new repair, the PWPS engineering team creates an operating model of the entire hot section. They then model the distress nodes of each part. This allows the team to determine the repair's impact on hot section performance or component life.

Using this engineering model, PWPS generates comprehensive repair specifications that are translated into advanced repair methodologies by Pratt & Whitney service centers.
