Overview: A major city in the Southeastern United States had been using six Philadelphia Gear gas turbine generators to supplement their power grid during times of peak usage. The generators were in use for nearly 30 years and had never undergone a complete oil change. Adding to the problem, the city upgraded their performance efficiency from 24 to 29 megawatts, placing even more wear and tear on the mechanical components - particularly the gear sets. The gearbox was sent to the Philadelphia Gear Eastern Regional Service and Manufacturing Facility in New Castle, Delaware for inspect and cost/benefit analysis to determine whether a repair of the existing unit was feasible.
