The client requested to conduct an inspection of the abnormal heating issue of the sleeve bearings of the two shaft generators on board. The issue was identified as the bearings were heavily worn out. As such 07 generators, shaft generators, Harbor generators and AFT generators were overhauled. The rotors were dynamically balanced & the shaft generator sleeve bearings were re-metaled and completed the installation. The bearing temperatures were 40% reduced at the time of testing.
