Siemens Energy Gas Turbine Burner Heads
Gas turbine burner heads — replacement and upgraded design
Energy/Oil & Gas85% confidence
Challenge
Burner heads require complex internal cooling passages and precise fuel-air mixing geometry. Conventional casting produces porosity and requires extensive post-machining.
Solution
SLM-printed burner heads for Siemens SGT-800 turbines, including redesigned variants impossible to cast. AM enables rapid replacement parts and design upgrades in the field.
Outcomes
- 01Redesigned burner heads with performance-optimised geometry; field-replaceable
Technologies
Laser Powder Bed Fusion
