Turbine Francis 𝘎𝘌𝘕𝘐𝘚𝘚𝘐𝘈𝘛
Installing and modifying stainless steel shielding
During a turbine maintenance, when the Francis wheel was dismantled by ALSTOM HYDRO, the customer noticed an extremely large cavitation with in some places a total piercing of the shield.
To ensure the optimum restart of the installation within the planned time frame, ALSTOM HYDRO contacted TACQUET INDUSTRIES in order to carry out a feasibility study and complete the work within the given time frame.
