Maintenance of Axial Bearing of Kaplan Turbine
Journal Title: Machine Design - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
Axial slide bearing of vertical Kaplan turbines is main bearing element supporting up to several hundreds tones of turbine elements self weights and water column. Because if that, exact assembling and maintenance is of vital significance for turbine correct operating. Problems which could appear in long term operations are damages of segments basements or “white metal” and change of position of bearing housing due to long term loading and subsidence of concrete foundations. This paper presents examples of testing and maintenance of segments of axial bearing and correction of bearing housing position. Effects of corrections and their indicators are also presented.
