Turbine Steam Path Maintenance & Repair, Vol. 2

I payed for a book that didnt teach me crap I know what the book does but on the review it said that the book was a all around steam turbine book I need why a steam turbine works the big over sight but thanks anyway.Travis Pecha Sr.

A great book and well written with clear diagrams on all forms of steam turbine design. I've used this book on several projects for background information on maintenance and repair.

I am a senior engineer at a turbine repair company. Sanders is my bible.Volume 1 focuses on damage mechanisms and operational considerations leading to those damage mechanisms. It would be of great benefit to someone performing a root case analysis of a steam turbine failure or physical deterioration. Vol. 1 is also helpful for justifying or explaining to management why damage has occurred or why a specific repair should be made.Volume 2 focuses on the engineering aspects of repair techniques, quality control, and inspection guidelines. Vol. 2 is a repair manual. If you are fixing a turbine, or managing a vendor who is fixing your turbine, this book will almost certainly cover the specific repair(s) needing to be done.Both volumes are completely black and white. The diagrams are crisp and sharp. Photos are mostly clear and legible, although some are old and not completely in focus. Some of these damage mechanisms and repair techniques are uncommon, and photos are very hard to come by, so any photo is better than none.There are other books that go into more detail about design, operation, vibration analysis, and efficiency calculations. If that is what you need, this is probably not the book for you. However, no other reference covers the engineering of steam turbine repairs as comprehensively as Sanders.

Sehr gelungene Zusammenstellung vieler verschiedener Schadensfälle sowie Reparaturmaßnahmen an Dampfturbinen. Beide Bände eignen sich hervorragend als Nachschlagewerke für jeden Fachmann bzw. Experten.
