Australia Gas Turbine Metal Flexible Joints and Fabric Expansion Joints

DEKOMTE is world recognised quality brand name for manufacturing fabric expansion joints and stainless steel flexible joints in all applications within a gas turbine power plant. Both fabric flexible joints and metal expansion joints are used in many locations around the plant.

Base load gas fired power plants can obtain a good performance from a basic expansion joints design, due to the reduced stresses and fatigue caused by cycling.

On the other hand, open cycled or combined cycled gas plants are subject to increased maintenance when using basic duct construction. Especially in combined cycled gas fired power plants, the expansion joints between the inlet of Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) and outlet of Gas Turbine (GT) (being the weakest links) are subjected to extreme stress and fatigue.

Particularly for a hot casing design (with insulation outside of the exhaust gas pressure boundary), its most significant design problem is the provision of adequate support, where two-shift operation is being applied

DEKOMTE is able to offer expansion joints solutions with technically based guarantees of up to 20 years, depending on the site operating conditions. We are the first in the market who are able to offer such a long period of guarantee, hence proves our ability in delivering a quality expansion joints to your plant.
