These are turnkey services under which 100 per cent pedigreed parts are supplied with all of the value-added quality control and testing necessary for qualified substitutes. Documentation includes direct traceability to the OEM by serial number. Parts provided in an assembly are typically not known to be nuclear qualified by their original manufacturer, when qualified by the assembly supplier. Wyle's EQ and Materials Aging databases readily support identification of alternate sources for these parts. Wyle's provides engineered retrofits and upgrades that cost-effectively improve system performance and reduce maintenance costs.
All retrofit equipment is fully qualified and documented for safety-related service.
Examples of available items include recorders, motor control centers, switchgear, motors, valves, chillers and control panels. Generic retrofit programs, like those for Siemens vacuum breakers and Eurotherm recorders, address industry wide issues and therefore, can share engineering and testing costs. They are particularly attractive to utilities because they can justify investment payback periods as short as three years.
