Power Generation Assemblies

The trends surrounding renewable energies and efficient energy consumption are placing new demands on power generation facilities. Constant cycling to balance the grid puts equipment under additional thermal stress while more efficient boilers or heat exchange systems may need to be retrofitted.

To better manage operations and maintenance costs, there can be no weak links in the system. Piping that can efficiently and effectively operate under given temperature, pressure and vibration requirements is critical to a successful operation.

Turbine Hose and Tube Assemblies

Penflex manufactures a range of assemblies to support steam and gas turbine systems.

Corrugated hoses are used to deliver fuel to the system, syphon away hot air, and connect components on the outside of the combustion area to ensure instantaneous and even ignition. Where axial extension and compression occur, as in the case with some cross flame tubes and sleeves, balance access tubes and rotor cooling lines, interlocked hoses or tubes may be required.

Key features of Penflex’s Power Generation Assemblies include:

Precision machine parts
Heavy wall thicknesses for higher pressure applications
Options for thermal barrier and ceramic coatings
Various NDE leak detection methods, including hydrostatic and helium mass spectrometer testing
Custom identification tags based on requirements

ASME Section IX Welders

Penflex welders are certified to American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Section IX, the industry’s highest standards. They have undergone rigorous training and years of experience to deliver the superior welds that have become a trademark of our work, meaning our metal hose assemblies are complete with top quality welds.

With a focus on safety and durability, Penflex offers a complete range of metal hoses with options for wall thickness, flexibility, temperature and pressure ratings to provide the ideal solution for any power generation application.
