RE: brush bem generator overheating fluid bearing

It would be unfair of me to post the name and contact details of a Brush employee on this website but I'd suggest you contact Brush using then contact form below:

http://www.brush.eu/AfterSalesSupport.html?servid=10222

or ring them on +44 (0)1509 611511 and ask to be put through to generator engineering field service.

Hello Scotty. Thank you for replying to us so promptly. We are looking for one or more freelance engineers in the UK who have hands-on electrical and mechanical experience with Brush BDAX generators up to 100MW and who would be willing to travel.

Scotty, we are up against very strong German and French competition and while we know the overseas engineers at a number of power stations, we do not have this kind of experience ourselves to undertake the maintenance work of testing and monitoring required. For this reason we have approached you.

We hope you can assist.


Best regards,

Amper.   

RE: brush bem generator overheating fluid bearing

On the electrical front I know a consultant who has significant experience of BDAX machines and also of many of the old British manufacturers like GEC, Parsons, English Electric, Metro-Vick etc. I very much doubt that he will be willing to travel too far these days as he is effectively retired but you might want to establish contact.

If this is essentially a mechanical problem then I haven't any definite contacts other than Brush but would suggest that Siemens at Heaton, Newcastle (the old Charles Parsons works) could possibly third party support. Siemens have people who know the BDAX machines at Teesside quite well, and obviously they have expertise on Parsons machines, but I'm not sure whether they would be interested in one-off engineering rather than a long term maintenance program. Commercial dealings with Siemens were always through SWPC in Orlando, even though they used people from Newcastle, and I wasn't party to those discussions.

hi scottyuk : i hope you doing well at the north. wher can i have plant or blue print relatives to crane or ral system to withdrawal a rotor to be use on Brush generator ? ill apperciate any good tips

regards  

RE: brush bem generator overheating fluid bearing

Other than asking Brush I'm sorry I don't know - normally rotor withdrawal gear is stipulated in the contract when the plant is built. I think asking for blueprints is a little bit cheeky - good luck asking them though!
