Something as small as a fuel nozzle can turn quick downtime into a big-time setback.
Over time, nozzles can wear down, clog or crack, which affects fuel efficiency and, more importantly, flight safety. When nozzles aren’t flowing correctly, the combustor experiences uneven fuel distribution, creating localized hot spots. This uneven temperature profile accelerates wear in the hot section, particularly on turbine blades and vanes, thereby reducing overall service life and increasing maintenance costs. That is why we recommend regular fuel nozzle overhaul and inspection.
An overhaul involves fully disassembling, cleaning, inspecting and replacing worn parts to restore the combustor to like-new conditions. It includes a precision inspection under FAA-approved standards and replacement of any worn parts.
However, sometimes you can’t afford to wait. That’s why Mint Turbines offers a fuel nozzle exchange program. This option enables operators to exchange their used nozzles for a set that has been overhauled and is ready for installation. It’s more efficient and helps you get back in the air quicker.
We have decades of experience with turbine engines and are a trusted OEM partner. Whether you’re planning ahead and want to chat about an overhaul or need a more immediate solution, our fuel nozzle services are just a call away.
