Gas turbine exhaust ducts
Immediate problems
• Damage on duct walls, cracks, missing insulation,
• WHRU* failure, exhaust gas leaks , silencer degradation
• Emergency shutdown, loss of production
* Waste Heat Recovery Unit

The main problems
•Structural integrity compromised by pressure fluctuations in the highly separated flow
•Start-up and shutdown causing excessive thermal stresses.
