ORMAT Equipment We Repair — By Category
ORMAT Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full ORMAT product range. Below are the major product families we service.
Ormat Turbine Control Systems
Dedicated PLC and SCADA controllers managing Ormat geothermal turbine operation, steam flow regulation, and generator synchronisation. Common issues include sensor drift, calibration loss, relay failure, and digital output card malfunction in harsh geothermal environments.
Ormat ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) Power Units
Compact heat-to-power conversion systems using working fluid circulation loops, evaporators, turbines, and condensers. Failures often involve pump cavitation, heat exchanger fouling detection loss, expansion valve stiction, and vibration sensor malfunction.
Ormat Geothermal Sensor and Transmitter Modules
High-temperature pressure, temperature, and vibration sensors with analog and digital outputs for geothermal downhole and surface applications. Common faults include 4-20mA signal loss, frequency output errors, and connector corrosion in mineral-rich steam environments.
Ormat Cooling and Condensing Systems
Air-cooled and water-cooled condenser control electronics regulating condenser fan speed, water circulation pumps, and thermal balance. Typical problems: PWM drive failures, thermal sensor calibration drift, and variable frequency drive (VFD) faults.
Ormat Power Dispatch and Grid Integration Electronics
Communication interfaces, inverters, and grid synchronisation modules linking Ormat geothermal stations to utility networks and SCADA control centres. Issues include Modbus/Ethernet gateway failures, harmonic distortion, and protection relay nuisance trips.
Ormat Spare Parts and Field Electronics
Replacement circuit boards, I/O modules, relay cards, and daughter boards for legacy and current Ormat installations. Common repair needs: board-level component replacement, firmware updates, and connector reconditioning.
Why Choose Synchronics for ORMAT Repairs?
PCB-Level Expertise
We repair down to the component level — not just swap boards. Our engineers identify root causes, replace failed IGBTs, capacitors, processors, and gate drivers on ORMAT equipment.
Fast Turnaround
Standard 7–10 working days. Express 3–5 days available for critical breakdowns. Emergency same-day/next-day service for unplanned downtime.
6-Month Warranty
Every repaired unit ships with a 6-month comprehensive warranty on parts and labour. Our repair success rate is over 94% across all brands.
All-India Service
Couriered repairs accepted from any city in India. Doorstep pickup available in Vadodara, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Surat, Chennai, and more.
Common ORMAT Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in ORMAT equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Turbine inlet pressure sensor signal dropout — High-temperature sensor connectors in geothermal steam lines suffer corrosion and mineral scaling, causing intermittent 4-20mA signal loss. This triggers false low-pressure alarms and unnecessary turbine shutdowns.
- ✓ORC expansion valve hunting and pressure oscillation — Organic Rankine Cycle systems experience expansion valve stick-slip due to residual fluids, dirt, or wear in the valve spool. This causes system pressure to oscillate 2-5 bar, reducing turbine efficiency and causing cavitation noise.
- ✓Cooling fan VFD nuisance trips on over-current — Ormat air-cooled condenser systems run fan motors at variable frequency in geothermal steam environments with high mineral dust. Dust accumulation and winding leakage increase motor current draw, falsely triggering VFD overload protection.
- ✓Modbus gateway timeout and SCADA communication loss — Ormat grid interface systems communicating via Modbus TCP or serial links suffer timeouts when cooling fan PWM switching noise couples into shielded Ethernet cables or RS-485 pairs, causing frame corruption.
- ✓Thermal sensor calibration drift and false condenser temperature readings — Ormat condensing system RTD and thermocouple sensors drift due to thermal cycling, lead resistance change, and solder joint creep in high-vibration geothermal environments, causing 3-7 degree measurement errors.
- ✓Power dispatch controller I/O card relay chatter and grid sync instability — Ormat grid interconnection systems use mechanical relays for grid switch logic and protection signalling. In high-vibration geothermal plants, relay contacts oxidise and chatter, causing voltage dips and synchronisation errors to the utility network.

Frequently Asked Questions — ORMAT Repairs
Do you repair Ormat turbine and ORC control systems anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the complete Ormat product range — turbine controllers, ORC units, sensor transmitters, grid interface systems, and condenser electronics. We offer pan-India door pickup from Vadodara, Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and all other industrial cities. Same factory repair and test facility in Vadodara, Gujarat.
What are common failure modes in Ormat geothermal installations?+
High-temperature sensor connector corrosion, ORC expansion valve spool stiction, cooling fan VFD nuisance tripping, Modbus communication timeouts, thermal sensor calibration drift, and power dispatch relay chatter are the six most common issues. Synchronics has repaired all of these across India's geothermal and waste-heat recovery projects.
How long does Ormat sensor and transmitter repair take?+
Sensor cleaning, lead wire testing, and transmitter recalibration typically take 2-3 working days. Corrosion-damaged connectors and mineral-scale removal may extend this to 4-5 days. Synchronics maintains a stock of high-temperature Ormat sensors for faster exchange if repair is uneconomical.
Can Synchronics upgrade Ormat legacy PLC firmware and Modbus communication?+
Yes. We perform firmware updates, Modbus gateway reprogramming, and serial-to-Ethernet bridge retrofits on Ormat legacy control systems to improve SCADA integration and reliability. We test all communication paths and validate plant SCADA handshake before returning equipment.
Do you stock Ormat replacement parts and boards?+
Synchronics maintains inventory of high-demand Ormat relay cards, I/O expansion modules, communication interface boards, and thermistor sensor assemblies. We source genuine Ormat parts from authorised distributors and equivalent-rated components from trusted OEM suppliers for faster turnaround on critical repairs.
How do I send my ORMAT unit for repair?+
Pack the unit securely and courier it to our Vadodara workshop. Include a note with the fault description and your contact details. We will log it into our system and WhatsApp you a job number within 24 hours of receipt. Doorstep pickup is available in Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Surat, Mumbai, and Pune.
What is the cost of repairing a ORMAT drive or PLC?+
Repair cost depends on the model and the fault. We offer a free diagnosis — once we identify the fault, we provide a fixed quotation before proceeding. Typical repairs cost 20–40% of the new unit price. We will never repair without your approval.
What warranty do you provide on ORMAT repairs?+
All repaired units carry a 6-month comprehensive warranty covering the same fault and related issues. If the fault recurs within the warranty period, we repair it free of cost.
Do you provide a no-fix, no-fee guarantee?+
Yes. If we cannot repair your ORMAT unit after diagnosis, you pay only the diagnosis fee (₹500–₹1,500 depending on the product). The unit is returned to you at no additional charge.
