Dear All,
I work in a power plant, and are using GE Frame 6 Gas Turbine and had been in operation since 2006. For some months back we are having problems with the compressor bleed valve. Problems are arising on start up and shut down. The problems are bleed valve trouble signal on start up or bleed valve trouble trip on shut down. The maintenance contractor had advise that the bleed valve be replaced at each inspection. To replace this bleed valves are very expensive. Is it a common practice to replace the bleed valve at each inspection. Is there any other solutions to this problem.
Thank you for your advise.
Regards,
Pritpal
