To keep your LM6000 turbine running at its very best, VBR provides comprehensive inspection, repair and maintenance services.Â
Field services
VBR provides comprehensive field maintenance and Control and Instrumentation support. This includes seasonal engine mapping, engine swaps, and on-site hot-section exchanges. We can perform these services at your location, wherever you are.
Hot section exchange
During a hot section exchange, key components are inspected and replaced if necessary. VBR can perform a hot section exchange at your location. We will bring our expertise, specialized tooling and equipment and supervise every step of the process. The OEM recommends a Hot Section Exchange – every 25,000 to 30,000 operating hours.
Borescope inspection
A borescope inspection is the only way to examine the health of your LM 6000 engine. This critical inspection lets you diagnose problems and determine what repairs must be made and when. Borescope inspections help you identify potential problems and prevent unnecessary repairs. VBR recommends a borescope inspection every 4,000 to 8,000 operating hours.
Combustor liner replacement
To maintain safe and efficient combustion, VBR recommends replacing the combustor liner every 50,000 to 60,000 operating hours.
Major overhaul
GE recommends a major overhaul of your LM6000 turbine every 50,000 to 60,000 hours.
VBR Consultancy Services can help LM6000 owners and operators make informed decisions that reduce costs and optimize turbine performance.
Mapping
AutoTune DLE reduces the need for seasonal mapping adjustments. This tool improves environmental performance and reduces operational costs. It can also reduce COâ‚‚ and NOx emissions.
Parker Meggitt valves overhaul
Many LM6000 DLE operators rely on Parker Meggitt staging valves and other key components.
As an authorized Parker Meggitt shop, VBR offers overhaul services for staging valves, PSOV valves, butterfly valves and fuel metering valves.
Service bulletins and upgrades
VBR ensures that your LM6000 engine stays current with the latest service bulletins, upgrades, and modifications to keep your turbine performing at its best.
Maintenance service agreement (LTSA)
VBR prioritizes customers with a maintenance service agreement. 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.
