Softinway will host the free webinar 'Improving Axial Turbine Flow Path Efficiency Between Overhauls: Strategy for 2010' on 17 December. This webinar is dedicated to power station and airline engineers that want to improve the efficiency of turbomachinery during overhauls. At the presentation, the Softinway team will showcase the Axstream software suite and its ability to define optimal overhaul intervals, replace components without sacrificing efficiency and minimise retrofitting costs.
The contents for the steam-turbine section of the webinar will include: life cycle, typical deterioration factors, steam-turbine HP cylinder simulation in Axstream with estimation of deterioration factors, investigation of efficiency changing and investigation of erosion of the last stage. The contents for the aircraft-engine section will include: typical performance-deterioration mechanisms, engine performance simulation, investigation of aero-engine efficiency, fuel consumption and on-wing life.
The contents for the steam-turbine retrofitting section will include: comparison of redesign and retrofitting methods and the benefits of retrofitting. After the presentation, turbomachinery design experts from Softinway will be available for a question-and-answer session.
