The added value of
VBR engineers
VBR engineers have worked on GE LM, Woodward and Speedtronic systems. Many have worked directly with GE Depots and Woodward in both production and engineering roles. This depth of experience allows us to provide tailored solutions to complex issues.
Our engineers are field service experts, who can troubleshoot on-site. Since they have remote access to our customers’ HMI systems, they can also troubleshoot in real time. The combination of practical experience and cutting-edge technology ensures swift and effective problem-solving.
Our multi-lingual team
Our engineers are fluent in English. Some also speak Spanish, Turkish, Italian, German, Brazilian Portuguese and other languages. This ensures smooth communication in a language you are comfortable speaking.
Top 3 questions about engineering services
These are the top 3 questions our customers ask about engineering services for LM gas turbines. If you have other questions, contact us.
01What are the most common performance issues with GE LM gas turbines and how can they be resolved?
The most common performance issues are decreased efficiency, vibration anomalies and ignition problems. These issues are caused by worn-out components, poor maintenance or improper tuning.
VBR can address performance issues through regular inspections, vibration loop upgrades and precise performance tuning. Our engineers can troubleshoot ignition problems and perform the necessary repairs to restore full operational performance.
02How can control system upgrades improve gas turbine reliability?
Upgrading from FD8 NetCon to Micronet Plus Control significantly enhances reliability by improving data accuracy, communication protocols and system responsiveness.
VBR provides customized control system modifications including HMI upgrades. This results in better monitoring and control of critical parameters. Modernizing these systems ensures your gas turbines operate efficiently in different conditions.
03What are the benefits of gas valve system upgrades? Can VBR perform these upgrades?
Upgrading a gas valve system improves the accuracy, responsiveness and longevity of your gas turbine’s fuel control. This leads to better fuel efficiency, lower emissions and enhanced performance.
VBR can design, develop and fully implement these upgrades. We ensure that new valves are correctly integrated into your system. To ensure long-term performance after the upgrade, we offer remote monitoring and diagnostics.
Maintenance service agreement
VBR gives priority to customers with maintenance service agreements (LTSA). Our agreements can cover: field services, spare parts, remote digital maintenance services, implementing service bulletins and access to our help desk.
A maintenance service agreement is the best way to reduce downtime and ensure uninterrupted business operations.
