Mechanical Dynamics & Analysis (MD&A) upgraded a customer’s hydrogen seals for a 7FH2 generator located in Colombia. Many units in the combined cycle setup, which can be comprised of two MS7001FA gas turbines and a D11 steam turbine, are also equipped with 7FH2 generators. Many of these machines have unbolted babbitted hydrogen seals. If there’s […]
