Built on our successful products for the Frame 7F, we now offer combustor and turbine components for Frame 9F. Design improvements developed for the 7F and validated in multiple applications are the basis of our 9F portfolio. Improved durability and lower life cycle cost are achieved using PSM’s component and system level product modeling and data evaluation tools, to identify the issues and failure modes in current OEM designs.
In normal operation the entire hot gas path has a minimum service interval of 24000 FFH or 1200 FS, which can be increased on a unit by unit basis.
