We are operating Gas turbine Frame VI machine model PG6541B. We have been operating machine on gas from long time. occasionally it is required to be run on liquid fuel during gas crisis. Repeat failure of atomizing air cooler has been observed. more than half of the tubes found leaking. Tube failure was seen as a pin hole puncture.
We had changed original MOC of tube to SS304 anticipating that failure will not occur, but again all SS tubes found chocked. dechoking could not be done even with hydrojetting machine. Tubes seemed to be cracked.
Cooling water is used in circulation at 5 Kg/Cm2 (g) and Inlet temperature 30 Deg C.
Can u please guide us.
