This book deals with case histories of gas turbines from deterioration of the performance of gas turbines to failures encountered in all the major components of the gas turbine. The chapter on Maintenance Techniques has been completely rewritten and updated. These chapters deal with Long-Term Service Agreements (LTSAs), which have become the major service agreements for new advanced gas turbines, as lending institutions have more faith in the original equipment manufacturer for dealing with problems. Special maintenance tables have been added, so that the reader can troubleshoot problems on gas turbines they may encounter in the field.
