Rotor Services FAQs

What gas turbine frames does Hanwha Power provide rotor services for?

Hanwha Power provides rotor services for GE and Siemens/Westinghouse/MHI gas turbines including 501F, 7F (7FA), 9F (9FA), 6B, 7B/E, and 9E frames. Services include full rotor management, rotating equipment repair, and rotor lifetime extension (LTE). Hanwha Power also manufactures its own design blading with reliability improvements for the 501F, 701F, 7FA, and 9FA platforms.

What is rotor lifetime extension (LTE)?

Rotor lifetime extension (LTE) is a data-driven program that uses in-depth inspections, metallurgical evaluation, hardness testing, and performance modeling to safely extend the service life of gas turbine rotors beyond their original design limits. Hanwha Power’s in-house material sciences and engineering lab teams evaluate each rotor individually and develop tailored LTE strategies that reduce lifecycle ownership costs and lower the risk of unplanned outages.

What rotor repair capabilities does Hanwha Power have?

Hanwha Power’s rotor repair capabilities include rotor removal, inspection, shipping and reinstallation, workshop disassembly and reassembly, precision balancing, structural analysis to support repair decisions, disk repair and life evaluation, blade slot crack blending, compressor clocking optimization, and nickel turbine wheel and disk production. Hanwha Power also operates a rotor exchange program for operators who need a replacement rotor during overhaul.

Does Hanwha Power offer a rotor exchange program?

Yes. Hanwha Power operates a rotor exchange program that provides a replacement rotor while the operator’s rotor undergoes overhaul or lifetime extension work. This minimizes downtime by allowing the turbine to return to service without waiting for the original rotor to be repaired.
