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. A customer was approached about using #HeatInduction to remove the #tube stubs in a #boiler in Western Australia. Thermo International was able to supply the #coils (in stock) as well as a supplying a #TubePuller. A job that used to […]
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, […]
Faster Turbine Outages with Induction Bolt Heating Technology How Portable Induction Heating Systems Reduce Turbine Maintenance Time In power generation, turbine outage time directly affects plant productivity, operational costs, and generating capacity. Every hour a turbine remains offline can represent substantial financial impact. Because of this, maintenance teams constantly seek technologies that reduce outage duration […]
Reduce Turbine Outage Time with Thermo International’s Portable Induction Bolt Heating Systems Faster Turbine Maintenance with Advanced Induction Heating Technology In power generation, turbine outage time directly impacts production, revenue, and operational efficiency. Every hour a turbine remains offline can result in significant lost generating capacity. To keep outage schedules on track, maintenance teams around […]
⚡ What Is the Fastest Way to Remove Turbine Bolts During a Power Plant Outage? One of the most efficient methods used in power plants is portable induction bolt heating. During turbine maintenance, bolts, studs, and nuts can become extremely difficult to remove due to thermal stress, corrosion, and mechanical preload. Applying controlled induction heat […]
