GT24
XL
The Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC) protects the hot gas path parts from the hot combustion gases, keeping metal temperatures on an acceptable level for maximum lifetime utilization. In order to support the inspection interval extension, TBC protection is enhanced both on the HP Turbine as well as on the rst two stages of the LP Turbine.
The cooling air distribution on Vane 1 is further improved. Oxidation protection on the Stator Heat Shields A (1st stage of the LP Turbine) is also enhanced.
With the XL upgrade, clearances in the rst stage of the LP Turbine are further optimized based on extensive eld experience.
These improvements and optimizations together ensure that the hot gas path components lifetime is extended and enable you to cut maintenance costs.
Summary
The GT24 XL turbine upgrade is designed for customers who prefer to keep the proven GT24 technology and want to benet from an extended service interval.
