1.4.1 Work Permit System (Lockout/Tagout)
Work permit system is applied when equipment is shutdown for
maintenance work, to complete the maintenance work under a safe
condition. The outline of the work permit system is as follows:
(1)
(2)
The Shift Charge Engineer passes the work permit form to the
operator to study and decide the isolation method from the line in
operation on the mechanical and electrical view point and then report
to the Shift Charge Engineer with the comments on the hazard
conditions for the work.
(3)
The Shift Charge Engineer gives work permit number and prepares
necessary tags to show the work permit number and the situation of
isolation by valves and power supply. He will then instruct the
operators to set the isolation condition following the work permit
form.
(4)
The operators will open the breaker and set the valves to the
specified condition. They will also drain and vent the equipment to be
worked on and the breaker and the valves are to be locked. The
operators return the work permit to the Shift Charge Engineer.
(5)
The Shift Charge Engineer confirms the isolation and will issue the
signed work permit to the Maintenance Engineer, or his
representative.
(6)
(7)
(8)
The Shift Charge Engineer will then send operators to release the
locks and return to the original situation.
(9)
The operators confirm the situation and report that the system is now
back to the normal condition when signing off the work permit.
The work permit system is to clarify responsibility for the works on each
step and to ensure that the work is performed safely.
MM-M05.02
Rev.001
(10) The Shift Charge Engineer confirms that the work under the permit is
completed and files details in the log book.

1.5.3 Earthquake
In the case of an earthquake, the shift charge engineer or operator must
judge whether the unit trip is necessary according to the intensity of the
earthquake, and immediately trip the unit manually. If the unit is tripped, all
equipment must be carefully checked on its operation status and tripped if
abnormal phenomena are found.
In the local area, mechanical and/or thermal shocks may be given to the
equipment, piping, instruments and electrical panels. Be sure to observe
the following when completing the inspection.
CAUTION
Check the piping and equipment for the breaking and the
dropping of insulation. Since the exposure of the hot
surface may cause burn injury, it must be repaired by a
worker fully dressed in Personal Protective Equipment.

Steam from the HP turbine exhaust (cold reheat) line is directed to the boiler to
increase the potential energy by heating it to an elevated temperature. In the
reheater the cold reheat steam temperature is increased and the reheated
steam is returned to the IP element of the HP-IP turbine through two sets of
RSV/ICV assemblies, each consisting of one RSV and two ICVs. The RSV/ICV
assemblies are installed one set on each side of the HP-IP turbine casing. The
four outlets from the ICVs are connected to the IP element of the HP-IP upper
and lower casings. Steam flow to the IP turbine is controlled and regulated by
the RSVs and the ICVs.

Chapter 2 General
The MSVs, GVs and ICVs are provided with servo-type actuators as these
valves require control function as per the operational requirement. These
actuators control the supply of hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic cylinders and allow
accurate position control of the valves. The RSV actuators do not have
servo-mechanisms, as they require only open and close position controls. They
are operated directly by the line hydraulic fluid pressure.
A Digital Electro-Hydraulic (DEH) control system provides control signals for
positioning the steam admission valves as per the turbine load. A servo-valve is
provided separately for each MSV, GV and ICV. The servo-valve converts the
electronic signal into hydraulic output which operates the hydraulic actuator
power cylinder to actuate the respective valve stem.
MM-M05.02
Rev.001
Hydraulic power for the actuators is provided by an EH fluid supply skid. This is
a storage, conditioning and pumping facility providing synthetic oil for hydraulic
operation of the turbine steam admission valves. The synthetic oil used is
selected for its fire resistance capability.

The bases of both the vertical and the longitudinal support brackets are
bolted to the steam chest base plate (5). The base plate is located
within a steel frame (6) arrangement which is secured to the turbine
foundation. Bolts screwed onto both sides of the base plate locate the
base plate in position. The bolt heads of these locating bolts are so
adjusted to grip tightly with the sides of the steel frame.

The front support consists of two fixed support brackets (2), one bolted
to each side of the steam chest. The steam chest is provided with slots
at both sides at the supporting locations which engage with matching
tongue/projection to the support brackets. This support locates the
steam chest assembly axially and allows expansion of the steam chest
on the longitudinal axis. A tie rod (10) and sleeve (11) support
arrangement, bolted to the bottom of the steam chest with a tongue
and groove fit, acts at the longitudinal center line and provides lateral
location. Another support bracket (4) secured to one end of the tie rod
(10) and bolted to the support base plate (5) provides rigidity to the
bottom support.

The intermediate stem bushing (14) is screwed into the main valve (3)
and retained by peening. The lower stem bushing (13) is screwed onto
the bottom end of to the intermediate stem bushing (14) and secured
by pins (63). The upper stem bushing (15) is screwed into the bonnet
and retained by peening. The main valve bushing (12) is also secured
to the bonnet by peening.
A spring housing (29) containing a set of pre-compressed springs (33)
is mounted on the valve bonnet. A connecting rod (40), operated by the
MSV actuator (62), passes through the spring housing and compresses
the springs during its upward movement through a lower spring seat
(31) and spring guide (32). A spring guide rod (21) secured to the
connecting rod (40) provides support to the spring guide (32).
The bottom end of the spring guide rod is guided into the bonnet by a
bonnet bushing (16). The bonnet bushing is secured to the bonnet (22)
by retaining bolts (17). The spring guide rod (21) and the valve stem (9)
are secured together with a lock pin (19). The movement of the spring
guide rod by the actuator raises or lowers the valve stem. Reverse
movement of the connecting rod releases the compression of the
springs.
The springs apply a continuous closing force to the valve stem and the
main and pilot valves by virtue of the spring compression force. Spring
compression bolts (39) provided below the lower spring seat (31) when
tightened releases the compression force from the connecting rod thus
making the valve stem free. The spring compression bolts are to be
removed after completion of maintenance work. A guide plate
arrangement (60, 61) secured to the upper spring seat (30) of the
spring housing guides the connecting bar during operation.
The upper end of the connecting rod is connected to an operating lever
(44), which is formed by bolting together two identical levers into a
single lever. One end of the operating lever is connected to the actuator
piston rod and the opposite end to a stay link (54). The other end of the
stay link is secured to the spring housing.

Chapter 2 General
High pressure hydraulic oil is supplied to the actuator to open the valve.
This produces a lifting force which overcomes the spring pressure
holding the pilot valve in the closed position. As the pilot valve stem
rises, the pilot valve is lifted from the seat and steam is admitted to the
steam chest through the pilot valve port. The admission of steam into
the steam chest starts the process of equalizing steam pressure either
side of the main valve, thereby progressively reducing the closing
force.
As can be seen in Figure 2-6, the area on which the steam pressure
acts to apply a force to open the main valve is greater than the area on
which it acts to apply a force to close the valve. For this reason, even if
the forces acting on either side of the main valve become equal, there
will be still a differential pressure across the valve.
As the pilot valve reaches the fully open position within the main valve,
the step on the valve stem (9) makes contact with a matching face
(back seat) at the bottom end of the intermediate stem bushing (14).
Further actuator movement will open the main valve.
The MSV has a combination of features to prevent steam leakage
along the valve stem during full open and close positions. When the
main valve is in the fully open position, the intermediate stem bushing
(14) and the upper stem bushing (15) come into contact to form a
back-seat sealing joint, thus preventing steam leakage along the valve
stem.
A second internal seal is provided between the upper face of the upper
stem bushing (15) and the lower face of the spring guide rod (21). The
purpose of this seal is to isolate the valve internal steam space from the
leak-off connection lines when the valve stem is in the closed position.
MM-M05.02
Rev.001
The bonnet bushing (16), secured to the top of the bonnet (22) where
the stem penetrates the bonnet, prevents steam leakage along the
stem to atmosphere.
The valve stem is provided with spiral grooves on the periphery in the
vicinity of the lower, intermediate and upper stem bushings to provide a
continuous leakage of steam along the stem, which serves as a
lubricant for free movement of the stem. A passage is drilled in the
bonnet above the upper stem bushing to provide a high pressure (HP)
leak-off connection (28) which drains the steam leaking through the
clearance between the stem and the upper stem bushing. Another
passage is drilled above the HP leak-off connection and matching
passages drilled in the bonnet bushing to provide a low pressure (LP)
stem leak-off connection (59) which drains the steam leaking through
the clearance between the stem and the bonnet bushing. The HP
leak-off connection vents the leakage steam to the No. 6 extraction
steam line and the LP leak-off connection vents to the gland steam
condenser.

Note
The fine mesh temporary steam strainer is not designed for long
life operation and is intentionally susceptible to becoming
clogged with debris during preliminary operation. Therefore, it is
recommended to inspect and remove the temporary strainer
within ninety (90) full days of service. This period is to include
operation for a period of not less than four (4) days with full
volumetric steam flow.
Temporary strainer operation should not extend beyond these
recommended limits, as failure of the temporary strainer could
cause severe damage to the MSV. Also excessive blockage results
in a restricted steam flow passage.

Check valves
Filter.
Within the actuator assembly itself, hydraulic oil passes through the
isolation valve and the filter to the servo-valve. The servo-valve directs
the high pressure hydraulic fluid to the actuator hydraulic cylinder inlet
port. The outlet port of the hydraulic cylinder is connected to drain.
The functions of the main components of the MSV actuator assembly
are as follows:
a)
Hydraulic Cylinder
The MSV actuator hydraulic cylinder is of the single acting piston
type.
The hydraulic cylinder consists of a cylindrical housing (1) which
contains the piston and piston rod assembly. The piston is
provided with O-ring and piston rings in slots at the inner and
outer surfaces to prevent leakage of oil through the piston. End
covers fitted at the ends of the hydraulic cylinder contain ports for
the passage of the inlet and return oils. The end-cover fitted at
the piston rod end has opening for the traverse of the piston rod.
The piston rod end-cover is provided with a slot to install a
bushing which guides the movement of the piston rod (12). The
bush has internally machined grooves to provide lubrication for
smooth movement of the piston rod.
A seal casing (13) fitted to the piston rod end cover contains two
oil seals to prevent oil leakage along the piston rod. Internal
passages drilled in the seal cover connect any passing leakage
oil to the drain line.
The end of the piston rod (12) protruding out of the hydraulic
cylinder is fitted with a clevis (19) which is connected to the MSV
operating lever.
MM-M05.02
Rev.001
2-13
Chapter 2 General
b)
Servo Valve
The function of the servo valve (7) is to supply oil to the hydraulic
cylinder as per the signal from the turbine control system.
The servo valve consists of a main valve and an electrically
operated pilot valve. The pilot valve receives electrical signal
from the turbine control system which moves a control spool
within the main valve. This spool movement directs the E/H
supply oil to the inlet port of the hydraulic cylinder.
The servo valve is provided with a built-in filter at the entry point
to protect the inlet orifices and nozzles against dirt particles.
c)
Dump Valve
The function of the dump valve (6) is to release the hydraulic fluid
pressure from the hydraulic cylinder resulting in instantaneous
closure of the MSV.
The dump valve consists of a main valve with a spring loaded
piston and a pilot valve with a spring loaded plunger. An orifice
opening drilled in the dump valve piston supplies restricted fluid
from the upstream to the downstream (piston spring side) of the
piston. The downstream side of the dump valve piston is
connected to the emergency trip oil line through a check valve.
Another opening drilled on the dump valve body directs the fluid
to the drain when the piston is opened. The fluid pressure
downstream of the dump valve can be adjusted manually by an
adjusting screw arrangement provided on the pilot valve which
relieves the excess fluid to drain.
During normal operation, the dump valve piston is hydraulically
balanced and kept closed by the piston spring pressure. Full
hydraulic pressure is therefore available to the MSV actuator.
MM-M05.02
Rev.001
2-14
Chapter 2 General
d)
Accumulator
The MSV actuator assembly is provided with a piston type
accumulator (4) installed on the drain side of the hydraulic
cylinder.
The purpose of the accumulator is to limit the pressure rise on the
low pressure side of the actuator hydraulic cylinder during high
speed closure of the MSV. The pressure at the downstream of
the hydraulic cylinder would be a factor which would tend to
reduce the speed at which the valve could close. The
accumulator absorbs the sudden high flow of oil and maintains a
near-constant drain line pressure during an instantaneous valve
closure.
The accumulator consists of a cylinder with an inlet port which is
connected to the hydraulic cylinder drain line. A piston with
sealing rings is installed in the accumulator cylinder. The
accumulator is filled with N2 gas at 0.7 kg/cm2 on the gas side.
The accumulator provided for the MSV actuator is of 2 liters
capacity.
When there is a sudden oil flow, the N2 gas gets compressed and
the accumulator absorbs the excessive flow and maintains the
drain line pressure.

f)
Isolation Valve
An isolation valve is installed in the hydraulic oil supply line
before the oil filter to isolate the high pressure oil to the servo
valve. This enables maintenance work on the filter, the
servo-valve and the dump valve to be performed while the turbine
is in operation. However, to perform the above maintenance work
the corresponding MSV must be taken out of service resulting in
an approximate 50% load reduction.
Note
To ensure safety (whenever possible), MHI recommend that the
above maintenance should be performed when the turbine is shut
down.
Note
A major cause of servo valve and relief valve problems is the
deterioration of the high pressure EH oil condition due to poor
management of the oil conditioning system. So, any maintenance
on the servo-system can be minimized by maintaining the oil in
good condition by good management of the EH oil conditioning
system.
g)
Check Valve
Three spring loaded poppet type check valves are installed in the
MSV actuator assembly. One check valve is installed in the
common drain line in which drains from the hydraulic cylinder, the
dump valve and the servo valve are collected. Two check valves
are installed in the emergency trip oil line, one valve at the outlet
of the dump valve and the other valve in the common emergency
trip oil line.
MM-M05.02
Rev.001
2-16
Chapter 2 General
h)
Filter
A 10 micron stainless steel mesh filter is installed in the supply
line before the servo valve. The purpose of the filter is to remove
particulate contamination from the hydraulic fluid thus protecting
the servo-valve from mal-operation. The filter should preferably
be replaced when blocked. However it can be cleaned as per the
guidelines provided in Section 4.2.2.
Governing Valve
Refer to Figure 2-9.
The GVs are hydraulically operated globe valves installed on the top of
the steam chest. The GVs control the outlet steam from the MSV and
direct it to the HP element of the HP-IP cylinder through the outlet loop
pipes.
Each GV assembly mainly consists of a stem assembly, a bonnet
assembly, a spring assembly, a linkage mechanism and a hydraulic
actuator assembly.
The stem assembly consists of a valve stem (2), a main valve (plug) (3)
and a valve nut (4). The valve nut is inserted from the top of the stem
and the main valve is screwed onto the valve nut from below. A
stepped projection at the lower end of the valve stem retains the valve
nut. After tightening, the main valve is secured to the valve nut using
four retaining pins (5) to prevent loosening during operation. The
retaining pins are peened after final installation to prevent loosening
during operation.
The valve stem above the valve nut is guided by two bushings secured
to the valve bonnet, the lower stem bushing (6) and the upper stem
bushing (7). The valve stem is provided with spiral grooves on the
periphery where the stem enters and exits these bushings for smooth
traverse. The grooves near the lower stem bushing provide a
continuous leakage of steam along the stem. This leakage steam
serves as a lubricant for free movement of the stem. Passages drilled
on the main valve (3) and the lower part of the stem (2) provides steam
supply for lubrication when the valve is in the open position.
MM-M05.02
Rev.001
The lower end of the valve stem assembly is installed within a flow
guide (12) secured at the lower end of the valve bonnet (8). The valve
stem assembly is installed within the flow guide with a close clearance
between the flow guide (12) and the valve nut (4). This clearance
enables the valve stem assembly to traverse within the flow guide with
a limited self alignment capability.
2-17
Chapter 2 General
The bonnet assembly consists of the bonnet (8), the flow guide (12)
and the two stem bushings (6 and 7). The flow guide and the stem
bushings jointly guide the stem assembly during valve operation. The
flow guide is inserted into the lower end of the bonnet and retained by
four pins (61) inserted laterally through four holes in the bonnet. (Refer
to Detail A in Figure 2-9). The flow guide pins are peened to prevent
them from loosening after final installation. The lower stem bushing (6)
is screwed into the lower end of the bonnet bore and retained by
caulking. The upper stem bushing (7) is inserted into the upper end of
the bonnet bore and retained by six retaining screws (15).
The bonnet assembly is bolted to the steam chest (1) at the top using
stud bolts (9) and nuts (10). These stud bolts are provided with heater
elements to heat and stretch them during installation and valve
disassembly. A spiral wound gasket (60) installed between the steam
chest and the bonnet provides sealing for the flanged joint.
The bonnet flange is provided with three jacking bolt holes for jacking
during disassembly and for controlled lowering of the bonnet assembly
during reassembly. The flange is also provided with three eye bolt
holes for handling the bonnet assembly.
Passages are drilled in the bonnet flange to provide high pressure (HP)
stem leak-off connection (14) and low pressure (LP) stem leak-off
connection (65). The HP (lower) leak-off connection (14) vents leakage
steam at the downstream of the lower stem bushing (6) to the No. 6
extraction steam line. The LP (upper) leak-off connection (65) vents
leakage steam through the upper stem bushing (7) to the gland steam
condenser.
MM-M05.02
Rev.001
A spring housing (23) is mounted on top of the bonnet (8) using stud
bolts and nuts (24, 25) and contains a set of pre-compressed springs
(33). The springs are held between a fixed upper spring seat (31) and a
movable lower spring seat (32). Spherical washers (29) and a liner (28)
provided below the lower spring seat move as a single unit with the
lower spring seat and the connecting rod (22) during valve operation.
The lower spring seat (32) compresses the springs (33) during its
upward movement by the GV actuator (57). Reverse movement of the
actuator releases the compression of the springs. The springs apply a
continuous closing force to the valve stem (2) and the main valve (3) by
virtue of the spring compression force. Four spring compression bolts
(34) are screwed onto the base plate of the spring housing (23). The
spring compression bolts release the compression force on the valve
stem when tightened thus making the valve stem free.
A bushing (27) secured to the base plate of the spring housing with a
fine clearance guides the connecting rod (22) and ensures smooth
movement.
2-18
Chapter 2 General
A special nut (16) is secured to the top end of the valve stem (2) using
a pin (20). The bottom end of the connecting rod (22) is located over
the special nut (16) using two locating pins (21). A coupling (17)
inserted from the top end of the connecting rod and screwed onto the
special nut connects the connecting rod and the special nut together.
The coupling is locked with a lateral set screw (18) after final tightening.
The coupling enables the valve stem and the connecting rod to move
as a single element.
A knuckle (40) connects the connecting rod (22) with the operating
lever (41). The knuckle is connected to the valve operating lever using
a linkage pin (50) and a bushing (59). The knuckle is screwed onto the
top end of the connecting rod and secured by a lock pin (62).
A support bracket (58) is welded to the spring housing (23) for
mounting the GV actuator (57). The long arm of the operating lever (41)
is connected to the hydraulic cylinder piston rod through a link (45). The
short arm of the operating lever is connected to another bracket welded
at the opposite end through a stay link (44). All linkage joints are
provided with linkage pins (46 / 48 / 52 / 54), bronze or DU bushings
(47 / 49 / 53), washers and split pins for smooth movement and easy
removal.
The long arm of the operating lever (41) is connected to a limit switch
assembly (56) through a linkage mechanism (55). The movement of
the links operates multiple micro-switch contacts in the limit switch to
provide function signals for the valve.
An LVDT assembly (65) secured to the actuator is connected to the
actuator piston rod through another linkage (66). The LVDT indicates
the position of the GV continuously in the CCR.
GV Actuator Assembly
Refer to Figures 2-10 and 2-11.
The GV actuator is also of the single acting device type. The spring
housing mounted on the valve bonnet applies a continuous closing
force to the valve stem. When hydraulic fluid pressure is applied to the
actuator it opens the valve against this spring force.

The lever (27) is secured to the valve stem (2) by three keys (28). Two
identical links (29) connects the lever (27) and the connecting rod (35)
through linkage pins (30 and 32) and bushings (31 and 33). The
connecting rod is screwed onto the actuator piston rod (66) thus
completing the linkage. This arrangement transforms the linear motion
of the actuator piston rod into angular movement of the valve stem.
The spring housing (34) contains a set of springs (37) which when
compressed by the operation of the actuator provides a continuous
closing torque to the valve stem in the open position. A stopper (39)
installed in the spring housing above the spring seat (38) provides a
mechanical stop within the spring housing and limits the travel of the
RSV actuator in the open direction.

Any leakage steam through the bushing (15) at the actuator end is
drained to the gland steam condenser through another stem leak-off
line (68). The intention is to prevent steam pressure build-up at the
actuator end of the stem.
2-33
Chapter 2 General
The trip pilot valve has one port connected to the bearing cover and the
other port to the main condenser. The trip pilot valve is kept closed by
the EH HP oil when the turbine is in normal operation. In an emergency
situation, when the EH HP oil pressure is dumped, the trip pilot valve
will open and release the unbalanced steam pressure to the main
condenser.
The RSV is provided with a bypass line to warm-up the RSV/ICV
assembly and to equalize steam pressure between the inlet and outlet
sides of the RSV to reduce valve opening torque. A pneumatically
operated valve installed in the bypass line isolates bypass steam after
the RSV is opened.
A limit switch assembly (67) is mechanically connected to the link (29)
to provide signals for the position indication and operation of the valve.
MM-M05.02

Chapter 2 General
Interceptor Valve
Refer to Figure 2-17.
The interceptor valves are of the plug type installed in a vertical position
such that the outlet from the RSV forms the inlet to the ICV. The ICVs
control the outlet steam from the RSV and direct it to the IP element of
the HP-IP cylinder through the outlet loop pipes.
Each ICV mainly consists of a valve body, stem assembly, a bonnet, a
spring assembly, a linkage mechanism and a hydraulic actuator
assembly.
The stem assembly consists of a stem (14), a main valve (2) and a
valve retainer (3). The main valve (2) and the valve retainer (3) are
secured to the valve stem (14). The valve retainer is inserted from the
top of the stem and the main valve is screwed onto the retainer. A
stepped projection at the lower end of the stem retains the main valve
and the retainer from falling. After tightening, the joint between the
main valve and the retainer is peened to prevent loosening. The valve
retainer is installed on the valve stem with a clearance (loose) fit. The
loose fit arrangement provides a limited self alignment capability for the
main valve.
The stem assembly is installed within the valve body (1) and guided by
a stem bushing (15) secured to the bonnet (8).
The main valve (2) is made of a cylindrical piston type disc which
moves within a valve bushing (6) secured to the bonnet. The valve
bushing is retained in the bonnet by four lateral retaining pins (10).
MM-M05.02
Rev.001
The bottom end of the main valve is profiled to match the main valve
seat provided on the valve body. The main valve is provided with two
piston rings (4) around the periphery to prevent leakage of steam
through the main valve. Two rows of piston guides (5), secured to the
outer surface of the main valve, enable smooth movement of the main
valve within the valve bushing. The main valve is provided with three
axially drilled holes to provide equalizing passage between the bottom
and top sides of the main valve.
2-35
Chapter 2 General
The bonnet assembly (8) is bolted to the valve body (1) at the top. A
spiral wound gasket (44) installed between the valve body and the
bonnet provides sealing for the flanged joint. The bonnet flange is
provided with jacking bolt (13) to aid during disassembly of the valve. A
lateral passage drilled in the bonnet with matching holes on the stem
bushing provides a stem leak-off path (16).
A spring housing (17) mounted on the bonnet (8) provides support to
the ICV actuator (34) and houses a set of pre-compressed springs (27).
The springs apply a continuous closing force to the stem (14) by virtue
of the spring compression force.
The springs (27) are housed inside the spring housing (17) between
the spring housing cover (45) and the spring seat (28). The cover is
welded to the spring housing at the top. The spring seat is located
within the spring housing and it moves during valve operation.
Three special bolts (32) secured to the cover (45) and three support
plates (29) bolted to the spring seat (28) (at 120 apart) facilitate
compression of springs during maintenance. These support plates
move vertically within three slots provided on the spring housing. The
nuts (33) when tightened release the spring closing force from the
valve stem thus making the valve stem free. The special bolts (32) and
nuts (33) are removed from the spring housing after the final
adjustment of the springs during reassembly.
A cross-head (21) connects the valve stem (14) and the actuator piston
rod (35). The cross-head is screwed onto both the valve steam and the
actuator piston rod and secured by separate lock pins (26 and 36) after
final tightness. A spacer ring (22) and a set of spherical washers (23
and 23a) located between the spring seat and the cross-head provides
limited self alignment capability.
A bracket (39) secured to the cross-head (21) carries an indicator (40)
which moves over a scale (41) secured on the spring housing and
indicates the lift of the valve stem during operation. Linkages to the limit
switch (42) and the LVDT (43) are provided from arm bolts (38)
secured to the cross-head (21).
MM-M05.02
Rev.001
When closed, the combined force exerted by the inlet steam on the
main valve and the closing springs on the valve stem, hold both the
main valve firmly on the valve seat.
High pressure hydraulic oil is supplied to the ICV actuator (34) to open
the valve. This produces a lifting force which overcomes the spring
force holding the main valve in the closed position. As the valve stem
rises, the main valve is lifted from the valve seat and steam is admitted
into the ICV outlet pipe.
2-36
Chapter 2 General
The admission of steam into the ICV outlet pipe starts the process of
equalizing steam pressure either side of the main valve. The closing
force on the valve stem is progressively reduced as the steam pressure
equalizes.
As can be seen in Figure 2-17, the area on which the steam pressure
acts to apply force to open the main valve is greater than the area on
which it acts to apply force to close the valve. For this reason, there will
be still a differential pressure across the valve even if the forces acting
on either side of the main valve become equal.
The ICV has a special feature to prevent steam leakage along the valve
stem during its full open position. When the main valve is fully opened,
the valve stem and the stem bushing come into contact to form a
back-seat sealing joint. This back-seat joint prevents steam leakage
through the gap between the valve stem and the stem bushing.
The valve stem (14) is provided with spiral grooves on the periphery at
three locations, where the stem traverses in the main valve retainer (3)
and stepped surfaces in the stem bushing (15), to provide a continuous
leakage of steam along the stem. This leakage steam serves as a
lubricant for free movement of the stem. The stem leak-off pipe (16)
drains the leakage steam to the gland steam condenser.
A strainer (9) secured to the bonnet (8) filters the incoming steam
before entering the IP turbine. This permanent strainer is made from a
16 mm thick stainless steel plate with uniformly drilled 7 mm holes and
is secured to the lip of the bonnet using retaining pins (10). A fine mesh
with 4 mm holes is provided around the permanent steam strainer
temporarily for use during the initial commissioning stages of the
turbine. The purpose of the temporary steam strainer is to screen out
debris from entering the turbine during the preliminary operation period.
Note
MM-M05.02
Rev.001
The fine mesh temporary steam strainers are not designed for long
life operation and are intentionally susceptible to becoming
clogged with debris during preliminary operation. Therefore, it is
recommended to inspect and remove the temporary strainer
within ninety (90) full days of service. This period is to include
operation for a period of not less than four (4) days with full
volumetric steam flow.

4 Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance is performed to avoid or minimize the possibility of failure or
deterioration of equipment performance. A constant effort in this regard is required from
maintenance staff to ensure that the unit is available on demand.
There are two categories of preventive maintenance, Routine Maintenance and Annual
Outage Maintenance. Routine maintenance helps to reduce the possibility of outage
and hence the downtime of machinery. Annual outage maintenance is required to
maintain the internal components of the installed equipment.
Though vendor/manufacturers recommendations provide a good basis for the
provision of a preventive maintenance schedule, the frequency and other details should
be updated from time to time based on practical experience and actual feedback
gathered through inspection and normal operation of the equipment/plant.
Consideration of these site related specific issues will make the preventive
maintenance more effective.
4.1
Prerequisites
The necessary prerequisites for the preventive maintenance of the turbine
steam admission valves and servo-systems are as follows:
4.1.1 Scheduling
MM-M05.02
Rev.001
4-1
MM-M05.02
Rev.001
Prior to commencement of actual work the person carrying out the work
is to make a safety check based on the above method statement and
also use his own judgment to ensure that the equipment and the
prevailing working conditions are safe. During maintenance work every
employee should follow the safe working procedures detailed in the
method statement.
4-2
4.2
Routine Maintenance
The purpose of routine maintenance is the implementation of the preventive
maintenance program on a day-to-day basis through a planned and correctly
executed inspection. The routine maintenance activities are very important in
that if they are properly carried out, they will enhance equipment reliability. As a
result, good routine maintenance activities may help in cost reduction in the long
run through minimization of equipment downtime.
4.2.1 Preparation
a)
b)
Documentation
Documentation is an important part of any maintenance duty. All
findings should be noted on a comprehensive log sheet, reporting
all aspects of the equipment observed during the routine
inspection. The data recorded in these documents may become
most useful in determining the root cause of equipment failure
found during the routine inspection. Any abnormalities, if
observed, are to be immediately communicated to the concerned
department/personnel for rectification and are to be detailed in
the report.
MM-M05.02
Rev.001
Note
It is advisable to change the filters during turbine overhauling.
However, if spare filters are not available, they can be cleaned
by ultrasonic cleaning method. Procedure for the ultrasonic
cleaning of filter is provided in Appendix H.

Before starting disassembly, prepare a lay-down area where equipment
can be stored and worked on without undue risk of contamination or
damage.
Tag all components for identification purposes. If necessary bag or wrap
to prevent miscellaneous losses and ensure adequate protection.
CAUTION
When separating joints and flanges use jacking bolts and
wooden mallets. Never apply force with hammers, chisels or
screwdrivers.
Ensure that the valve is fully closed. Note the position of the
actuator piston rod indicated by the indicator on the scale (66)
secured to the actuator (62).

Rig the actuator (62) and remove the actuator support fasteners (64).
Remove the actuator from the actuator support and transport it to the
lay-down area.
Remove the securing fasteners and then remove the limit switch link
(56) from the operating lever (44).
Install and tighten the spring compression bolts (39) to release the
spring compression from the connecting rod (40).
Provide temporary supports to the operating lever and the stay link
(54). Remove the split pin and the linkage pin (49) and disconnect the
operating lever and the stay link. Remove the bushing (50) from the
operating lever if essential.
10 Remove the split pins and the linkage pin (47) and remove the stay
link (54) from the lug secured to the spring housing (29). Remove the
bushing (48) from the stay link if necessary.
11 Rig and support the operating lever (44) for removal. Remove the split
pin from the linkage pin (51) and disconnect the operating lever (44)
and the connecting rod (40). Lift and remove the operating lever to the
lay-down area. Remove the bushing (50) from the operating lever if
necessary.
12 Remove the securing bolts and then remove the supports (61) with
the guide plate (60). Remove the guide plate from the support if
replacement or repair is necessary.

13 Loosen and remove the nuts from the stud bolts (34) at the upper
spring seat (30). Slowly loosen the long bolts (35) until the spring
tension is completely released. Remove the long bolts (35) after the
spring tension has been completely released.
Do not loosen the long bolts from the spring housing until the
stud nuts are removed. Remove the long bolts only after
releasing complete tension from the springs. Spring pressure
could force the cover off and injure personnel in the vicinity of
the work.

14 Rig and remove the upper spring seat (30), the compression springs
(33) and the lower spring seat (31) from the spring housing (29) using
the overhead crane. Transport the removed components to the
lay-down area.
Note
Suitably support the connecting rod (40) while removing the
above components.
15 Release and remove the nuts (38) which secure the spring housing to
the valve bonnet (22). Remove the spherical washers (37) from the
stud bolts (36).
16 Rig and remove the spring housing horizontally using the crane and
transport it to the lay-down area.
17 Hold the connecting rod suitably and remove the split pins (43) and
the pin (41) from the connecting rod/spring guide rod joint. Remove
the connecting rod (40) and transport it to the lay down area. Recover
the bushing (42) between the connection rod (40) and the spring
guide rod (21).
18 Remove the spring guide (32) from the spring guide rod (21).
Note
Before disassembly of the MSV internal parts, it will be necessary
to measure the as found pilot valve travel and main valve travel.
Place a bar through the linkage pin hole in the valve spring guide
rod (21).
(ii) Using this bar lift the spring guide rod (21) and valve stem (9)
assembly until the shoulder on the stem makes contact with the
back seat inside the intermediate stem bushing (14). Take care
not to lift the main valve from its seat. Measure the distance from
a suitable reference point on the spring guide rod to the upper
surface of the bonnet bushing (16).
MM-M05.02
Rev.001
(iii) Lower the spring guide rod and valve stem assembly until the
pilot valve (4) is seated properly.
(iv) Apply a force (minimum 20 kg) to the bar to firmly close the pilot
valve. Measure the distance from the spring guide rod reference
point to the upper surface of the bonnet bushing (16) as
performed in Step (ii).
5-4
Chapter 5
(v) The difference between the measurements noted in Steps (ii) and
(iv) minus the thermal expansion clearance (1.6 mm) is the pilot
valve travel. Record this value.
20 The procedure for measuring the as found main valve travel is as
follows:
(i)
Lift the valve stem with the bar through the spring guide rod (21).
Continue lifting until the intermediate stem bushing (14) contacts
the back seat at the upper stem bushing (15). Measure the
distance from the reference point on the spring guide rod to the
bonnet bushing (16).
Note
Given the orientation of these valves, it will be necessary to
consider the lifting and handling carefully and in advance of the
work being carried out. Ensure that the personnel who are to
carry out the work are sufficiently experienced.
23 Using the three jack bolts (65) provided, separate the joint between
the bonnet and the steam chest. Remove the bonnet and valve
internals from the steam chest as a single assembly and transport it to
the lay-down area. If necessary, adjust or apply additional rigging as
the assembly is withdrawn horizontally from the steam chest. Remove
and discard the spiral wound gasket (27) from the steam chest.
MM-M05.02
Rev.001
CAUTION
Lack of preparation and care during the removal of the bonnet
and valve internals can cause damage to the valve or stem. If
necessary, adjust rigging to ensure that the valve is not
damaged during removal of the bonnet and valve internals.

Corrective Maintenance
C h a p t er
6 Corrective Maintenance
Corrective maintenance is the repair or replacement work undertaken for sudden failure of
any part or component of the equipment. Though a well planned preventive maintenance
program tries to minimize the probability of occurrence of sudden failure of equipment,
provision for attending these unscheduled maintenance requirements is to be made.
Corrective maintenance work is to be given priority depending on the seriousness of the
problem faced and the impact on plant operations. The schedule for repair of any
equipment should be carefully planned to keep outage time to a minimum.
During such repair or replacement work, an inspection is to be carefully conducted to
determine why the equipment has failed. Good corrective maintenance requires, not only
the quick restoration of the failed equipment back into service but also demands every
effort to identify and record the root cause of the failure. The inspection results can be of
significant help in exploring the exact reason for the failure. The findings, along with
possible rectification proposals, are to be used as a feedback to update the preventive
maintenance procedures.
6.1
Prerequisites
The necessary prerequisites for the corrective maintenance of the turbine steam
admission valves, actuators and servo-systems are as follows:
a)
Scheduling
Unlike preventive maintenance, scheduling activity only starts after failure of
the equipment. Depending on the severity of the problem, the importance of
the service provided by the failed equipment and availability of manpower to
attend to the problem, a contingency schedule is to be prepared to solve the
problem at the earliest opportunity. The schedule should clearly indicate the
critical path activity and assign the priority for different parallel activities.
Finally, once the schedule is agreed, strict adherence to it is to be maintained
to ensure timely completion of the maintenance activity.
b)
Departmental Interface/Notification
Refer to Section 4.1.2, Departmental Interface/Notification.
MM-M05.02
Rev.001
c)
Isolation of Equipment
Refer to Section 4.1.3, Isolation of Equipment.
d)
Safety Precautions
Refer to Section 4.1.4, Safety Precautions.

Appendix
Use a rod with a piece of cloth (smeared with a small amount of clean grease) securely
fastened to the end, to swab the stud hole clean.
Measure the stud or bolt, with the nut loose, using a micrometer and extension rod.
Obtain the required nut turn from the chart (Appendix A).
Use a protractor to indicate the required nut rotation and mark with a piece of chalk.
10
Heat the studs in accordance with the following instructions (Bolt Heater Instructions).
11
Rotate the nut by the calculated amount as soon as the stud has elongated.
12
Allow the stud or bolt to cool to the same temperature as in Step 6 above and clean the
bottom of the heater hole as in Step 5 above.
13
Measure the stud or bolt to see if the required stretch has been obtained (tolerance 10%).
14
Repeat Steps 5 to 13 above until the required stretch (10%) has been obtained.
MM-M05.02
Rev.001
No attempt should be made to protect any part of the heater surface by wrapping it with asbestos
or other insulating material since this will cause overheating and result in a damaged coil.

Appendix
Precautions
a)
Bolt heaters are electrical devices capable of causing electrical shock if improperly used.
b)
c)
Store bolt heaters in a vertical position. Do not store the heater on its side while hot to
prevent deformation of the heater.
d)
e)
A blackened heater is an indication that lubricant was present in the last stud in which the
heater was energized. Any blackened heater should be heated in the open air until it has
burned clean and then the debris brushed off.
Procedure
Insert the heater into every third bolt using a wooden handle.
Use a pipe spacer as required to keep the heater from bending when hot.
Energize heater (for 15 minutes maximum) until nut can be removed from the stud.

Ultrasonic Cleaning
H Procedure
A p p en d i x
Ultrasonic cleaning is a very effective method of cleaning filter elements, but results depend
greatly on the type of equipment used, and type of cleaners used for ultrasonic cleaning. There
are many cleaners available for use in ultrasonic cleaning, some of which are very effective for
cleaning filters, while others are completely unsatisfactory. If ultrasonic equipment is available, it
should be tried, since it is possible that a simple cleaning procedure using no strong chemical will
do an effective job of cleaning with ultrasonics. With any ultrasonic equipment, be sure to follow
the manufacturers instruction in regards to maximum operating temperature, which is usually
80C ~ 85C.
Note
There are many fluids that can be used for ultrasonic cleaning. Most
manufacturers of chlorinated cleaning agents include a neutral inhibitor to
prevent the formation of hydrochloric acid when mixed with water. Ordinary
applications can use Oakite rustripper at 65C.
Note
Do not use an acid as the cleaning solution in an ultrasonic cleaner under any
circumstances.
MM-M05.02
Rev.001
Experience has shown that in some filter applications with fluids of an oily nature, a deposit will be
left over the filter surface which prevents effective cleaning. In these cases a vapour degreasing
prior to the cleaning procedures is recommended.
