Routine Maintenance
Hot Parts Expected Life Time The expected life of hot parts has been established based on design strength and the result of past operating experiences. The expected hot parts life hours with qualified repairs are as follows:
Definition of “EOH” Equivalent Operating Hours To calculate hours of operation equivalent to base load continuous duty operation, when operation has been with liquid fuel and/or cyclic duty, it is necessary to segregate the actual hours of operation by duty (fired hours per start) and fuel (gas or oil). These segregated values are then used in the following equation to calculate the hours equivalent to operation at base load with gas fuel. where, H = equivalent continuous duty gas fired hours BHG = base load operating hours with gas fuel BHO = base load operating hours with distillate oil fuel PHG = peak load operating hours with gas fuel PHO = peak load operating hours with distillate oil fuel CDF = cyclic duty factor, determined from the following table
