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 […]
Worldwide Customer Service At Thermo International, our experience with #InductionHeating field applications is quite extensive.

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, […]
Induction Bolt Heating for Power Plants The Complete Engineering Guide to Turbine Bolt Heating, Turbine Maintenance, and Industrial Induction Heating Systems Power plants operate on strict maintenance schedules. When a steam turbine outage occurs for inspection or repair, every hour of downtime directly affects electricity production and revenue. Maintenance teams must disassemble and reassemble large […]
Induction Bolt Heating: How It Works, How Long It Takes, and When Power Plants Use It During a turbine outage, removing and reinstalling large bolts can take a significant amount of time. Years of heat, pressure and service can make those fasteners difficult to loosen. Induction bolt heating gives maintenance crews a controlled way to […]
