Facilities
The Avon Project relocated to a new, custom built facility in January 2004.
The new workshop focuses on the facilities for one engine type only: the Industrial Avon. The new workshop with a floor space of 34,000 sq. feet has provided the opportunity to integrate all the Avon processes and resources, providing an even more efficient and comprehensive overhaul capability. With over 20 years experience in the repair and overhaul of Avon gas generators, Rolls Wood Group remains by far the most accomplished Avon facility in the world.The Avon Engine
Most operators know the Avon gas generator. They know its performance specification and its reputation for unsurpassed reliability. With over 57 million operating hours in industrial applications the Avon gas generator has proven time and again that it is the class leader for reliability.
Today, the option exists to upgrade and retrofit the Avon through exploiting frontline technologies. Swirler burner technology helps reduce combustion instability and can be introduced on both single or dual fuel applications. The new design Avon 200 is now available and sets new standards of power, efficiency, life-cycle costs and environmental impact. In conjunction with swirler burner, Avon 200 is available in modification kit form. The main component changes consist of the three stages of turbine disc, blades and vanes, casings and seal segments.
