Renovation of the Integrated Maintenance Platform for Thrust Bearing in Shuibuya Hydropower Plant
In the expanded maintenance of the units in Shuibuya Hydropower Plant,the thrust bearing is renovated to an oil pump forced external circulation mode.Due to the increased number of auxiliary components of the units,the original maintenance platform cannot meet the requirements of C-level and higher maintenance tasks of thrust bearings and may be of certain safety hazards.Thus,the structure of the maintenance platform is renovated and re-designed.After the ren-ovation,the functionality and safety of the platform are greatly improved,which can fulfill the maintenance requirements of the units.The experience can be useful reference for similar projects.
