Stubborn Boiler Tubes? How Induction Heating Helps Maintenance Crews Remove Them Removing a worn boiler tube can become one of the most difficult parts of a replacement project. Years of service, corrosion and a tightly expanded joint can leave the tube firmly attached to the tube sheet or drum. For maintenance engineers, the objective goes […]
A turbine bolt that won’t loosen. A weld joint that needs consistent preheat. A coupling that must expand enough for removal without overheating nearby components. These jobs present different challenges, but they share a common requirement: getting the right amount of heat into the right location, at the right time. Industrial induction heating uses electromagnetic […]
Replacing worn boiler tubes is demanding enough. Damage to the surrounding tube sheet can turn a planned maintenance task into additional repair work, higher costs and a longer outage. Thermo International’s induction heating technology supports boiler tube removal by heating the tube section held within the tube sheet. This localized heating helps release the joint […]

Why Induction Bolt Heating Is Much Faster Than Conventional Heating […]
During a turbine outage, removing the casing bolts is an early step that can affect everything that follows. Inspection, repairs and component access depend on getting the turbine open. For maintenance engineers, the challenge is to create the bolt expansion needed for loosening while controlling temperature and limiting unnecessary heat transfer into the surrounding assembly. […]
Thermo International Expands Portable Induction Bolt Heating Solutions to Reduce Turbine Outage Time Advanced Induction Heating Systems Help Power Plants Improve Maintenance Efficiency Reducing turbine outage time is one of the most critical priorities for power generation facilities. Every hour a turbine remains offline represents lost generating capacity and increased operational costs. To address this […]
For engineers managing turbine outages, refinery maintenance, and heavy equipment overhauls, controlled bolt expansion can make demanding bolting jobs easier. An alternating current flows through an induction coil, creating a changing magnetic field. That field induces electrical currents within the bolt. The metal’s electrical resistance converts those currents into heat. For hollow bolts and studs, […]
