  • Maintenance of a used gas turbine
    Patent number: 10126207
    Abstract: A method for the maintenance of a used gas turbine includes the at least partially automated steps of: determining the geometry of a flow-guiding component, in particular a rotating blade or a guide vane, of the gas turbine; prognosticating the aerodynamics and/or thermodynamics of the component based on the determined geometry; and classifying the component into one of several predetermined classes based on the prognosticated aerodynamics and/or thermodynamic, where the predetermined classes denote different properties and parameter ranges indicating unusable components to usable components with poor performance.
