In the original design the Inconel leaf seal connecting the exhaust diffuser to the HRSG inlet is very close to the end bearing support tunnel.
DEKOMTE offers an innovative, integrated solution that gives clearance and reduces heat radiation, to protect the lubricating oil and instrumentation supplies. The DEKOMTE solution integrates all adjacent insulation, is gas tight due to multi-layer fabric, has no reaction loads or forces and a steel frame design. This solution is highly flexible, minimises stress imposed to the exhaust diffuser and has a high cycling capability.
