Feature of Steam Admission Valves Safety


The main turbine is the equipment that rotates at high speeds using high pressure
and high temperature steam from the boiler. The steam admission valves supply
and control the main and reheat steam required to drive the main turbine.
The steam turbine is subject to sudden pressure and flow variations due to
fluctuation in generator load or due to disturbance in boiler firing. The steam
admission valves adjust automatically to these flow variations. The steam
admission valves are operated by high pressure oil system to have an efficient and
fast response for the sudden changes in the operating requirement of the steam
turbine.
The oil flow and hence pressure variations caused during the steam admission
valves operation are relieved by relief valves installed on the lubricating oil and
control oil piping. However, due to the sudden oil pressure fluctuation and ageing of
flange gaskets, the oil piping continues to have a high risk of flange/pipe leakage.
Leaked oil from the oil piping can cause extensive damages in the vicinity of the
turbine in the event of a fire. All personnel, operators or maintainers, during their
frequent patrols around the Steam Turbine are aware of the danger, and must
report any changes to the Shift Charge Engineer, who will take on the responsibility
regarding any urgent immediate action.
The steam admission valves are susceptible for steam leakages due to gasket
failure or due to the mal-operation of the gland steam condenser. This may result in
steam leakage within the turbine enclosure and is a cause of concern as it may lead
to fire if allowed to continue for a long time. All operators and maintainers should
pay special attention if any hissing steam flow noise is observed near the steam
admission valves to reduce consequential damages should any steam leakage
occur.

Safety Measures
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)

The Maintenance Engineer applies for the work permit clearly


indicating the content of the maintenance work that he wants to do,
and submits it to the Shift Charge Engineer.

(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)

The Maintenance Engineer orders the start of the maintenance work


to the workers nominated.

(7)

The Maintenance Engineer or his representative will then return the


signed off work permit to the Shift Charge Engineer after confirming
the maintenance work is completed.

(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

Safety

Cautions for Steam Leak in the Plant


The steam leak especially from high temperature steam may
cause serious injury to the personnel and it must be repaired
at an early stage of the leakage. The following pre-cautions
must be followed to find leakage at an early stage.

Water drips may occur at the insulated parts such as the


connected part of the lagging. The leaking point can be found
by removing insulation partially using great care.

As you approach the leakage the water will change to visible


steam. It is now too dangerous to remove the insulation.

Leakage of the superheated steam only makes whistling


noise without generating white steam. It is very dangerous to
approach the noise area.

Contact the Charge Engineer to obtain a Permit to Work to


ensure plant isolation before repairing the damage.

Be well aware of the steam. The steam could leak from the
water system containing water at 100C or higher even if it is
a low pressure type water system.

High temperature drain or steam could leak from the flush


pipe during start-up.

If not avoided, the steam or vapor can enter the inside of your
working wear through the small gap between the body and
the clothing.

1.4.2.5 Caution against Oil Leak in the Plant

MM-M05.02

Rev.001

CAUTION

Steam Admission Valves

Overview of Turbine Steam Admission Valves


Refer to Figures 2-1 to 2-4.
The main turbine unit is a three-cylinder tandem compound, quadruple exhaust,
condensing reheat turbine, designed for high operating efficiency and maximum
reliability. The turbine receives superheated main steam at 24.5 MPa(a) and
538C and reheated steam at 4.7 MPa(a) and 566C. It rotates at a speed of
3000 rpm and generates 815 MW of electricity through a generator coupled to
the turbine rotor.
The main turbine consists of three cylinders arranged in a line and coupled
together. The three cylinders consist of a combined high pressure (HP) and
intermediate pressure (IP) cylinder viz. HP-IP cylinder and two low pressure
(LP) cylinders. Steam flows to the turbine cylinders are controlled by two sets of
main stop valve (MSV) and governing valve (GV) assemblies and two sets of
reheat stop valve (RSV) and interceptor valve (ICV) assemblies.
Main steam enters the HP element of the HP-IP turbine through two steam
chest assemblies each consisting of one MSV and two GVs. Steam flow to the
HP turbine is controlled and regulated by the MSVs and the GVs.
The steam chest assemblies are located one on each side of the HP-IP turbine.
The GV outlets are connected to the HP element of the HP-IP casing through
four inlet pipes. Each inlet pipe is connected to its nozzle chamber by a slip joint.
Two of these inlet steam pipes are connected to the upper casing and the
remaining two to the lower casing.
Steam enters the steam chest at one end and passes through the MSV into the
main section of the steam chest where the GVs are located. From the steam
chests steam passes through the GVs and enters the HP turbine through the
four turbine steam inlets. The rate of steam flow leaving the steam chests and
passing to the HP turbine is determined by the position of the turbine GVs.

The turbine steam admission valves are operated individually by hydraulically


powered actuators through a digital control system.

MM-M05.02

Rev.001

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.

Construction and Arrangement


2.4.1 HP Turbine Steam Chest and Steam Admission
Valves
Steam Chest
Refer to Figures 2-4 and 2-5.
The steam chest is made of a hollow cast steel body with three
openings, one opening at the steam inlet end for the installation of the
MSV and two on the top for the GVs. The steam chest also has three
integrally cast nozzles on the underside; one for the entry of inlet steam
to the MSV and two for the exit of steam from the GVs to the turbine.
Each steam chest is mounted on two base plates with a flexible
supporting system. The supporting system is installed in such a way
that the thermal movements are accommodated without the need of a
sliding foot arrangement.
Each steam chest assembly has two supports; the front and the rear.
The front support is bolted to the sides of the steam chest (1) at the
steam inlet end. The rear support is bolted to the end opposite to the
MSV, the governor end (Gov End). The steam chest supporting
arrangement is made rigid using two stiffener plates (9) bolted to the
feet of the supports.

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.

MM-M05.02

Rev.001

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.

Chapter 2 General

The rear support consists of a fabricated steel structure and is bolted to


the Gov End of the steam chest. The vertical plate of the support
bracket (3) is provided with a cold spring of 131 mm to enable the
support to become vertical during hot condition. The base of the rear
support bracket is bolted onto another base plate (8). This base plate is
also located within a steel frame (7) which is secured to the turbine
foundation.
Bolts screwed onto the base plate at three sides 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.

Main Stop Valve


Refer to Figure 2-6.
The MSVs are of the double seat plug valves type, installed in a
horizontal position directly into the steam chest, such that the inlet end
of the steam chest forms the valve body.
The MSV assembly consists of a pilot valve (4), operating within a main
valve (3). The inlet port for the pilot valve is provided by seven ports
(one horizontal and six angled) drilled circumferentially at the top
surface of the main valve. The outlet port is provided by drilling an
opening in the center of the main valve disc. The inside surface of the
pilot valve outlet port is profiled to provide a seat for the pilot valve in
the closed position.
The pilot and main valves are operated by a common stem (9) which is
located and guided by four bushings within the valve [lower stem
bushing (13), intermediate stem bushing (14) and upper stem bushing
(15) and bonnet bushing (16)]. The lower portion of the stem is made
hollow and a spring (8) is installed inside which exerts a constant force
to the pilot valve through a spring seat (6). A valve nut (5), inserted
through the stem from top side, retains the pilot valve in position with a
loose fit during valve operation. The pilot valve is screwed onto the
valve nut and secured by caulking. The loose fit arrangement provides
a limited self alignment capability for the pilot valve.

MM-M05.02

Rev.001

The mechanical arrangement between the main and pilot valves is


such that, after the pilot valve is fully opened, further actuator
movement results in the opening of the main valve and the pilot valve
together. Both valves are unbalanced.
A bonnet (22), bolted to the steam chest using stud bolts (23), guides
the valve stem during valve operation. The lower stem bushing (13),
intermediate stem bushing (14) and upper stem bushing (15) jointly
locate the valve stem and ensure smooth movement. A main valve
bushing (12) secured to the bonnet guides the main valve during
operation.

Steam Admission Valves

Chapter 2 General

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.

MM-M05.02

Rev.001

A limit switch assembly (55) is mechanically connected to the valve


operating lever (44) through a linkage (55). The activation of the limit
switch lever operates multiple microswitch contacts which provide
various function signals for the valve.
An LVDT assembly (57) secured to the actuator is connected to the
actuator piston rod through another linkage (58). The LVDT indicates
the position of the MSV continuously in the CCR.
When in the closed position, the force produced by the inlet steam
pressure acting on the main valve and the force exerted on the valve
stem by the closing springs, combine to hold both the main and pilot
valves firmly on their seats.

Steam Admission Valves


Mitsubishi

2-10

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.

Chapter 2 General

A steam strainer (10), provided concentrically around an integral


cylindrical lip at the bottom of the bonnet within the MSV, filters the
incoming steam before entering the valve inlet steam space. This
permanent strainer is made of a 25.5 mm thick stainless steel plate with
uniformly drilled 7 mm holes and is secured to the bonnet by welding. A
fine mesh temporary strainer (11) is provided around the permanent
steam strainer for use during initial commissioning stages of the turbine.
The temporary strainer is made of a 3 mm thick stainless steel plate
with uniformly drilled 4 mm holes and is secured to the permanent
strainer with countersunk screws. The purpose of the temporary steam
strainer is to screen out debris from entering the turbine during the
preliminary operation period.

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.

MSV Actuator Assembly


Refer to Figures 2-7 and 2-8.
The function of the MSV actuator assembly is to open the MSV as
required at turbine startup. It operates the valve via a mechanical lever
which is part of the valve head gear.

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

Springs in the valve head gear apply a continuous closing force


to the valve stem. When hydraulic fluid pressure is applied to the
actuator through the inlet port, it opens the valve against the
spring force. A controlled oil pressure positions the valve in the
required position. The quick release of oil pressure during a
turbine trip command closes the valve instantaneously by the
springs.
The MSV hydraulic cylinder is adjusted for 6.1 mm over-travel to
enable the valve to close tightly on the seat.

Steam Admission Valves


Mitsubishi

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

Operation of any of the turbine trip protective functions will


release the pressure in the emergency trip oil line causing the
hydraulic fluid on the spring side of the dump valve piston to be
drained away.
As the pressure drop in the emergency trip oil line is greater than
the capacity of the orifice in the dump valve piston, the dump
valve piston will become hydraulically unbalanced. The dump
valve piston will open against the piston spring pressure and
allow the hydraulic fluid from the actuator cylinder to drain
through the downstream passage. This drainage of fluid from the
hydraulic cylinder causes the instantaneous closure of the MSV.

Steam Admission Valves


Mitsubishi

2-14

Chapter 2 General

The pilot valve can be operated manually for valve testing


purposes. At such times the actuator fluid isolation valve would
be closed.
Manual operation of the pilot valve will release the hydraulic
pressure on the spring side of the dump valve piston. The orifice
in the dump valve piston causes a slow decay of pressure
throughout the hydraulic system downstream of the isolation
valve. However the dump valve piston will not be able to open
against the spring pressure. Thus, the gradual pressure decay
will close the MSV in a controlled manner.

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.

e)

LVDT

MM-M05.02

Rev.001

The MSV actuator is fitted with a linear variable differential


transformer (LVDT) for the remote indication of the valve position.
The LVDT is an electro-mechanical transducer which functions
as a position signal generator.
The LVDT is mounted on the MSV actuator and is connected to
the actuator operating linkage. It moves parallel to the actuator
(and MSV) and produces an electrical signal proportional to the
MSV position.

Steam Admission Valves


Mitsubishi

2-15

Chapter 2 General

The signal from the LVDT is converted to DC by a demodulator


and then fed back to the DEHC system to control the
servo-amplifier.

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

The main function of the check valve is to prevent reverse flow of


fluid from other parts of the hydraulic system, which could
interfere with maintenance activities and operational tests. It also
retains fluid pressure at the downstream side of the hydraulic
cylinder and the dump valve to provide cushion/back pressure to
prevent bumpy operation within the hydraulic cylinder.

Steam Admission Valves


Mitsubishi

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.

Steam Admission Valves


Mitsubishi

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.

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.

MM-M05.02

Rev.001

The major components of the GV actuator assembly are similar to


those of the MSV actuator. The only additional component provided for
GV is an electrically operated solenoid valve for the protection of the
main turbine during overspeeding.
The GV actuator is provided with a hydraulic cylinder (1), a servo-valve
(7), a dump valve (6), an accumulator (4), an LVDT, an isolation valve,
three check valves, a filter (5) and a 3-way (OPC) solenoid valve (16).
The constructional and functional features of these components except
solenoid valve are similar to those explained for the MSV actuator.

Chapter 2 General

The GV actuator is provided with a 2 liter capacity accumulator and it is


filled with N2 gas at 0.7 kg/cm2 on the gas side.
The GV actuator hydraulic cylinder is adjusted for 6+2.0/-0 mm
over-travel to enable the valve to close tightly on the seat.
The GV actuator is provided with an Overspeed Protection Control
(OPC) solenoid valve (16) to protect the turbine during overspeeding.
Two ports of the solenoid valve are connected to the servo valve supply
line and the dump valve outlet line respectively. The third port is
connected to the drain line.

MM-M05.02

Rev.001

If the OPC detects a problematic mismatch between the turbine and


generator loading, it opens this solenoid valve for a short duration (for
the duration of the transient). When the solenoid valve is operated the
supply line is isolated from the emergency trip oil line and the
emergency trip oil line is connected to the drain line. The emergency
trip oil is then released into the drain line and the dump valve is
operated to close the GV. This valve closure causes pre-emptive
reduction in steam flow to the turbine, thus reducing the risk of the
turbine overspeeding.

2.4.2 IP Turbine Steam Admission Valve Assemblies


Steam admission to the IP turbine is through two sets of RSV/ICV
assemblies, each set consisting of one RSV and two ICVs. The valve
assemblies are located one on each side of the turbine axis above the
turbine operating floor adjacent to the HP pedestal.
Each RSV/ICV assembly is supported on concrete foundations at the
13.760 m elevation of the turbine operating floor.

RSV/ICV Assembly Support


Refer to Figure 2-13.
Each RSV/ICV assembly is mounted on base plates with a flexible
supporting system. The supporting system is installed in such a way
that the thermal movements are accommodated without the need of a
sliding foot arrangement.
Each RSV/ICV assembly has two supports; a front support (6) and a
rear support (7). The front support is welded to the inlet nozzle of the
RSV and the rear support to the Y-piece at the outlet of the RSV. The
supporting arrangement is made rigid by providing a stiffener plate (8)
bolted to the feet of the front and rear supports.
The front support (6) is a rigid support which consists of a support ring
welded to the inlet nozzle of the RSV body and support plates and foot
welded to the bottom of the support ring. This support locates the valve
assembly axially.
The foot (15) of the front support is bolted to a base plate (9) secured to
the turbine foundation using retainer plates (11) and stud bolts and nuts
(17). In addition, jacking bolts (14) screwed onto corner plates (welded
to the base plate at two corners) horizontally and on the support foot
(15) vertically locate the front support in position.

Liners (13) are provided between the support feet (15 and 16) and the
base plates (9 and 10) for leveling during installation and to
accommodate relative movement during operation.

MM-M05.02

Rev.001

The rear support (7) is a flexible support which consists of a fabricated


steel structure welded to the Y-piece at the RSV outlet. The vertical
plate of the rear support bracket is provided with a cold spring of 13
mm to accommodate thermal expansion such that the support
becomes vertical during hot condition. The foot (16) of the rear support
is bolted onto the base plate (10) using retainer plates (12) and stud
bolts and nuts (17). This base plate is also located by jacking bolts (14)
similar to the front support.

Chapter 2 General

Reheat Stop Valve


Refer to Figure 2-14.
The RSV is of the swing disc type check valve which is held in open
position by its actuator (45) by applying a continuous turning force to
the valve stem (2) to overcome the closing force. The closing force is
applied continuously by the springs (37) in the spring housing (34) and
the torque applied by the weight of the valve disc (4).
The RSV consists of a cast steel body (1) which is bored to hold the
valve stem (2) in position. A support (11) provided at the actuator end
of the valve body and a bearing cover (8) at the opposite end, locate
the valve stem in position. Bushings (14, 15, 16, 17) provided along the
valve stem at four locations reduce friction and enable free movement.
The top of the valve body is provided with an opening and a cover (5) to
enable maintenance on the valve internals. A spiral wound gasket (61)
provides sealing for the flanged top cover joint.
The valve disc (4) is secured to the valve arm (3) by a special nut (55).
The special nut is installed with a small clearance with the valve arm
and it is locked by two knock pins (56) after final adjustment. The valve
arm (3) is secured to the valve stem (2) using four arm keys (6). The
spherical seating surfaces between the valve arm (3) and valve disc (4)
and between the valve arm (3) and special nut (55) are provided with
lapped leak-tight back-seat surfaces to prevent steam leakage.
The outlet bore of the valve body is profiled to match the seating
surface of the valve disc and lapped to form a leak-tight seat.
The RSV actuator (45) is secured to the bottom end of the spring
housing (34) through a flange (46). The valve stem (2) is connected to
the actuator through a lever (27), link (29) and connecting rod (35)
arrangement.

MM-M05.02

Rev.001

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.

Steam Admission Valves


Mitsubishi

2-32

Chapter 2 General

A stopper assembly, mounted on the support (11) adjacent to the lever


(27), provides damping to the lever and actuator in the full open
position. The stopper assembly consists of a set of Belleville washers
(50) installed in a guide (47) and compressed by a stopper rod (48).
The actuator end of the valve body, where the valve stem penetrates,
is provided with a positive sealing arrangement to prevent leakage of
steam along the valve stem. No such sealing arrangement is provided
at the bearing cover end (stem removal end) and steam is allowed to
bleed through the gap between the valve stem (2) and the bushing
(14).
To provide a reliable and maintainable seal at the actuator end, a
spherical seal arrangement is provided on the valve stem. A spherical
shoulder ring (18) installed between a stopper ring (19) (which is a
shrink fit on the valve stem) and the bushing (15) forms a seal tight joint
with the bushing at the actuator end. A spring assembly secured to the
actuator support (11) along the axis of the stem provides continuous
axial force to the stem and ensures a positive sealing joint.
The spring assembly consists of a spring (24), a spring bolt (25), spring
seats (21 and 23), spring compression nuts (26) and a thrust bearing
(22). The spring bolt is screwed onto the valve stem (2) and the spring
(24) provides compressive force when tightened by the compression
nut. The compressed spring provides a continuous axial force to the
valve stem to provide a positive sealing joint between the bushing (15)
and the shoulder ring (18).
The leakage steam at the bearing cover end pressurizes the space
between the trip pilot valve and the valve stem. This pressure build-up
provides an axial thrust on the shoulder ring spherical seating surface
and provides additional force for positive sealing. The trip pilot valve
(20) provided on this leak-off line isolates the leak-off steam at this end
when the RSV is in the open position.

The operational requirement of the RSV is that it stays fully open in


normal service and closes quickly in the event of an emergency
situation. The friction generated by the differential pressure on the
valve stem is therefore of no consequence in normal operation, but the
pressure must be released in an emergency situation to facilitate valve
fast closure. The trip pilot valve performs this function by releasing the
leak-off steam to the main condenser during a RSV closure.

MM-M05.02

Rev.001

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.

Steam Admission Valves


Mitsubishi

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.

RSV Actuator Assembly


Refer to Figures 2-15 and 2-16.
The RSV actuator is of the single acting device type. The function of
the RSV actuator is to open and close the RSV as required during
turbine operation.
The RSV actuator opens the valve against the spring closing force, the
inlet steam pressure and the torque applied by the weight of the disc.
When hydraulic fluid pressure is applied to the actuator it opens the
valve against these forces. When hydraulic pressure is released from
the actuator, the valve is closed by the spring closing force, self-weight
of the disc and the pressure exerted by the inlet steam.
The RSV actuator mainly consists of a hydraulic cylinder (1), a dump
valve (6), an accumulator (4), a filter (5), an isolation valve, three check
valves and a 3-way solenoid valve (16). The constructional and
functional features of these components except solenoid valve are
similar to those explained for the MSV/GV.
The RSV actuator is provided with a 2 liters capacity accumulator (4)
and it is filled with N2 gas at 0.7 kg/cm2 in the gas side.

MM-M05.02

Rev.001

The RSV actuator is adjusted for 6 mm over-travel to enable the valve


disc to close tightly on the seat.
The RSV actuator is provided with a 3-way solenoid valve (16) which
connects the outlet of the dump valve to the EH drain line. This
solenoid valve is meant for remote controlled testing of the RSV without
affecting other steam admission valves. This facility is provided in
addition to the manual testing performed with the dump valve. The
stem freedom test is to be performed at regular intervals to ensure that
the stem is free and it closes positively during an emergency.

Steam Admission Valves


Mitsubishi

2-34

Chapter 2 General

When the solenoid valve is energized or when the EH emergency trip


valve is operated, the EH HP oil between the dump valve and the
check valve (at dump valve outlet) is released to the EH drain line. This
pressure drop operates the dump valve resulting in the closure of the
RSV.

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.

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.

Steam Admission Valves


Mitsubishi

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

Temporary strainer operation should not extend beyond these


recommended limits, as failure of the temporary strainer could cause
severe damage to the IP turbine blading. Also excessive blockage
results in a restricted steam flow passage.

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.

ICV Actuator Assembly


Refer to Figures 2-18 and 2-19.
The ICV actuator is of the single acting device type. The spring housing
mounted on the ICV applies a continuous closing force to the valve.
When hydraulic fluid pressure is applied to the actuator it opens the
valve against this spring pressure.
The functional and constructional features of the ICV actuators are
similar to those of the MSV and GV actuators.
The major components of the ICV actuator assembly are similar to
those of the GV. The difference between these two actuators is that no
accumulator is provided for the ICV actuator.
The ICV actuator is provided with a hydraulic cylinder (1), a servo-valve
(7), a dump valve (6), an LVDT, an isolation valve, three check valves,
a filter (5) and a 3-way (OPC) solenoid valve (16). The constructional
and functional features of these components are similar to those
explained for the MSV/GV.
The ICV actuator hydraulic cylinder is adjusted for 6 1 mm over-travel
to enable the main valve to close tightly on the seat.

MM-M05.02

Rev.001

The ICV actuator is also provided with an Overspeed Protection


Control (OPC) solenoid valve (16) similar to the GV to protect the
turbine during overspeeding.

2.4.3 Steam Admission Valve Control Oil System


Refer to Figures 2-20 and 2-21.
The major requirements of the steam admission valves are to open and
control according to the turbine load and to close quickly during an
unsafe turbine condition. The steam admission valves utilize E/H fluid
and HP oil (auto stop oil) for the safe and reliable operation of the main
turbine.
The steam admission valves are operated individually by hydraulic
actuators which are connected suitably to the respective steam
admission valves.
The high pressure oil required for operating the actuators is supplied
from the discharge of the E/H oil pumps during normal turbine
operation.

MM-M05.02

Rev.001

The E/H oil at the discharge of the E/H oil pumps is supplied directly to
the hydraulic cylinders through servo valves for operating the steam
admission valves.

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

Scheduling is the first activity in the preparation of a preventive


maintenance program, the schedule is to include planning to attend all
operating equipment on a fixed regular basis. Initially, schedules will be
prepared based on vendor/manufacturers generic instructions, the
schedules will, however, be updated (frequency, nature of inspection
etc.) as site specific data becomes available. Preventive maintenance
is to be co-ordinated with other concerned departments. In the case of
a major scheduled outage, maintenance personnel and other
concerned departments are to jointly produce a plan of activities, well in
advance, to decide the inspection activities and other logistics (such as
availability and supply of required equipment, spare parts, tools and
tackle etc.). The schedule is to clearly identify the critical path. Priority
is to be assigned to specific tasks that also involve parallel activities to
reduce the equipment downtime and to complete the work within the
scheduled time.

Chapter 4 Preventive Maintenance

4.1.2 Department Interface/Notification


Departmental communication is essential and interfacing between
departments is to be maintained to avoid any lack of communication
that may arise and adversely affect routine or annual outage
maintenance work. Prior to commencing preventive maintenance all
concerned persons (shift supervisor, operators etc.) are to be made
aware of the schedule and the nature of the activities that are to take
place. If it becomes clear that there is a problem or conflict of interests
in the schedule (e.g. the maintenance schedule interferes with another
groups work), this is to be resolved by mutual agreement between the
parties involved.

4.1.3 Isolation of Equipment


It is important that isolations are agreed and valid clearances and work
permits are obtained before any maintenance work is performed. The
isolation boundaries of the particular equipment to be taken under
maintenance are to be clearly identified.
In the case of an electrical isolation the power supply shall be
disconnected and/or the fuses removed. In the case of mechanical
isolations, the valves or other mechanical means of isolation, at the
isolation boundaries are to be closed and if possible locked closed. The
system within the isolation boundaries is to be de-pressurized.

4.1.4 Safety Precautions


Before the commencement of any maintenance work, the person in
charge of the work site is to perform a risk assessment and method
statement for the safe execution of the job scope activities, described
within the work permit. Risk assessment includes identifying,
recognizing and understanding the potential hazards associated with
the work. The method statement is to illustrate the safe working
practices in accordance with the safety manual and manufacturers
instruction manual to prevent personal injury and/or equipment
damage.

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.

Chapter 4 Preventive Maintenance

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)

Parts, Tools and Equipment


It is important to prepare the necessary spare parts, tools and
equipment before commencing the actual work. Routine
maintenance generally requires a standard mechanical tool-kit,
consumables, cleaning materials etc. Any shortages of these
items will affect the maintenance activity and may delay the
schedule. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is necessary for
maintenance staff at all times.
Upon completion of work, all tools and equipment should be
serviced and stored correctly to ensure availability for further use.

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.

4.2.2 Inspection and Maintenance


The turbine steam admission valves are to be checked daily for
abnormal noise or vibration and for steam leakage from the valve stem
or body to bonnet joint.

MM-M05.02

Rev.001

The actuators are to be inspected for any leakage of oil, integrity of


linkage pins and actuator supports. The actuator filters are to be
removed, cleaned and reinstalled annually.

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.

4.3

Annual Outage Maintenance


The purpose of annual outage maintenance is the implementation of a
preventive maintenance program on a yearly (or some multiple) basis through a
planned and correctly executed maintenance work program accompanying
necessary inspections. Such outage maintenance activities are very important
in the sense that if properly undertaken these enhance the life and reliability of
the equipment.
The turbine manufacturer/vendor has recommended inspection and
maintenance (overhaul) procedures for the turbine steam admission valves and
their servo-systems. These are to be carried out at two and four yearly intervals.
A two year interval is defined by the turbine manufacturer/vendor as a minor
overhaul interval. The turbine major overhaul interval is four years.
The activities are described in Section 4.3.2.
It should be noted that there is a manufacturer recommendation to carry out
Diagnostic Preventive Maintenance (diagnostic investigation for ageing
deterioration) at eight or ten yearly intervals.
The operating authority should refer to the manufacturer/vendor for further
details.

4.3.1 Preparation
a)

Parts Tools and Equipment


Refer to Subsection 4.2.1 a), Parts Tools and Equipment.
In addition, it will be necessary to identify and request the
provision of any spare part requirements.
Annual outage will, in certain cases, require the use of material
handling equipment.
Unused spare parts are to be returned for correct storage and
used spare parts are to be replaced.

b)

Documentation
Refer to Subsection 4.2.1 b), Documentation.

MM-M05.02

Rev.001

Records are to be maintained to record information regarding


spares and consumables used. These records will be used for
future reference and spare parts replacement.
On completion of annual outage maintenance work, the
equipment is to be monitored for correct operation and
maintenance data logging. This will help to determine the correct
intervals of preventive maintenance activities to ensure optimum
plant availability. The correct recording of the findings during
inspection will build a valuable document for future reference.

4.3.2 Inspection and Maintenance


Work is to be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer
recommended inspection and maintenance (overhaul) procedures.
The recommendation for the two year minor overhaul is that the steam
admission valves are dismantled for internal inspection, and that a
performance test of the valves and actuators/servo-systems is carried
out.
The recommendation for the four year major overhaul is that
(additionally) the hydraulic cylinders and servo-systems have selected
parts replaced.
Table 4-1 summarizes the valve inspection and maintenance activities
for the two year minor overhaul. The performance testing is an
operational activity.
The following actuator parts should be replaced during the four year
major overhaul:
Hydraulic cylinder piston rings and oil seals

Servo-valve filter and seals

Solenoid valves

Dump valve, check valve and isolation valve seals.

5 Disassembly and Reassembly


Disassembly and reassembly are the activities to be conducted when internal parts of
the equipment are required to be accessed. An important part of the activities is the
preparatory work. This should identify the manpower, spares and tools that may be
required during the maintenance work. A shortfall of any of these may affect the preset
schedule and the operational status of the plant. The major steps associated with
disassembly and reassembly are as follows.

5.1

Disassembly and Reassembly of Main Stop Valve

CAUTION
Prior to carrying out any maintenance, confirm all isolations are
in place and the equipment is shut down.

a)

Preparation

MM-M05.02

Rev.001

If disassembly of a MSV becomes necessary, all associated equipment


shall be mechanically and electrically isolated and an authorized
clearance and work permit shall be in place prior to the commencement of
work. The following points are also to be considered when preparing for
disassembly and reassembly.

Have all necessary drawings (assembly drawings etc) and documents


(log sheets, field record book, etc) ready prior to start of work.

Prepare the necessary handling facilities (e.g. crane facilities,


temporary supports, etc) to remove and store the various parts of the
equipment.

When lifting heavy equipment, use a crane, chain block, or other


appropriate lifting equipment. Also ensure that the safe working load
(SWL) of wire slings, shackles, eyebolts and lifting gear being used is
adequate for the load being lifted.

When using a crane, chain block, etc, the center of gravity of the item
being lifted should be considered and the lift should be well balanced
and level.

Special tools are listed in Appendix C.

Disassembly and Reassembly

Disassembly
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.

Wear protective clothing, respiratory equipment and goggles


when handling insulation.

CAUTION
When separating joints and flanges use jacking bolts and
wooden mallets. Never apply force with hammers, chisels or
screwdrivers.

All data is to be recorded during disassembly. During disassembly make


match marks on adjoining parts for ease of identification during
reassembly.
Refer to Figures 2-6 and 5-1.
1

Before disassembly, the as found closed end over travel of the


actuator hydraulic cylinder should be measured and recorded. The
procedure is as follows:
(i)

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).

MM-M05.02

Rev.001

(ii) Disconnect the actuator from the valve by removing the split pins,
washers and the linkage pin (53) at the operating lever (44).
Remove the linkage and disconnect the LVDT (57) from the
piston rod.
(iii) Fully close the hydraulic cylinder at this valve disconnected
condition. Note the new position of the actuator piston rod
indicated on the scale (66).
(iv) Record the difference in the readings in Steps (i) and (iii) between
the fully closed positions at the valve connected and
disconnected conditions as the closed end over travel.

Disassembly and Reassembly of Steam Admission Valve


Actuators

CAUTION
Prior to carrying out any maintenance, confirm all isolations are
in place and the equipment is shut down.

a)

Preparation
If the actuator of a turbine steam admission valve disassembly becomes
necessary, all associated equipment shall be mechanically and electrically
isolated and an authorized clearance and work permit shall be in place
prior to the commencement of work. The following points are also to be
considered when preparing for disassembly and reassembly.

b)

Have all necessary assembly drawings and documents (log sheets,


field record book, etc.) ready prior to start of work.

Prepare the necessary handling facilities (e.g. crane facilities,


temporary supports, etc.) to remove and store the various parts of the
equipment.

Disassembly
It is essential that a clean area (preferably a dedicated clean room) is
established for disassembly and reassembly of the actuator as a minimum
requirement. Any particulate contamination will compromise the
performance and reliability of the equipment.
The individual control components such as the servo valve need special
care due to special overhaul and inspection techniques and small
clearances. Site disassembly is not recommended.

MM-M05.02

Rev.001

The operating authority may wish to consider developing an overall policy


for the maintenance of this equipment, in consultation with the
manufacturer. This could include, for example, in service maintenance of
the accumulators where the consequences of poor performance have
significant implications but cannot be easily predicted. This is a
specialized area of maintenance where reference to the manufacturer will
probably be necessary.
The MSV, GV, RSV and ICV actuators and peripheral equipment are
similar. Apparent variations are largely but not exclusively due to
differences in configuration. These variations arise because of the
differences in the physical layout and service duties of the operated valves.
The procedures in this section are generic procedures applicable to all
actuators.

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.

DETERMINING BOLT STRETCH


Introduction
Alloy steel bolts and studs in the high pressure and/or high temperature flanges should be
tightened sufficiently to produce a definite amount of stretch as outlined in these instructions.

Amount of Stretch
The amount of stretch for alloy steel bolts or studs should be determined in accordance with the
following table:

Free Length

MM-M05.02

Rev.001

The free length of a stud is the thickness of the flange from joint face to spot facing, plus one stud
diameter and washer thickness (if washers are used). The free length of a bolt extending through
both flanges is the thickness of both flanges between spot facings, plus one bolt diameter and
washer thicknesses (if washers are used).

Appendix

Equivalent Nut Rotation Angle


For any given application the calculated amount of stretch can be translated into an equivalent nut
rotation angle, provided that the number of threads per inch, or TPI of the fasteners is known.
For these applications, bolt diameters between 50 mm and 112 mm have 8 TPI, and bolt
diameters between 125 mm and 150 mm have 6 TPI
For example, if the nut of a 125 mm diameter bolt is turned through 36, the resulting stretch will
be 25 mm (metric equivalent of one inch) divided by 6 (number of TPI) and multiplied by 10% (the
percentage of a full turn applied).
Lubrication
The threads of bolts, studs and bearing faces of nuts should be well lubricated with a
recommended, anti-seize compound (N-5000) to reduce friction and to avoid thread seizure in
high temperature service.
Stretching
The larger size bolts and studs are provided with holes in their center for stretching by means of
electric heating elements. Smaller bolts and studs must be stretched by wrenching. It is preferable
to torque these in accordance with the following table:

TIGHTENING LARGE BOLTS AND STUDS WITH HEATING ELEMENTS


1

Determine the required stretch.

Lubricate threads and face of nuts with anti-seize compound.

Run on the nuts to ensure freedom of thread movement.

Clean the bottom of the stud hole with compressed air.

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.

Tighten all nuts in symmetry with a 68 kg m (Nut First Torque) by wrench.

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.

BOLT HEATER INSTRUCTIONS


The heaters are of the insertion type, consisting of a heating element in a stainless steel sheath. If
a heater becomes deformed, its operation is not impaired as long as actual contact does not occur
between the heating element and the sheath.
The heater may be used with either AC or DC current in conjunction with the protection of fuses or
circuit breakers and adequate wiring to carry the current demand. When used with DC current, the
connector provided is not to be used as an interrupting device. It is also desirable that neither side
of the circuit be grounded. Absence of a ground reduces the likelihood of a short-circuit on a
heater. It is recommended that the heaters be used until they actually fail in service.

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)

Touching an energized or recently de-energized heater can cause serious burns.

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)

Insert the heater into the bolt prior to energizing.

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.

De-energize heaters and allow them to cool prior to removing them.

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.

General Ultrasonic Cleaning Procedure:


1. Close inlet valve to the filter, open the vent and drain the unit completely. Remove the filter
elements from the empty housing.
2. Immerse the element in ultrasonic bath of hot alkaline solution for at least one-half hour
(time may vary. i.e. Grade 20 material with larger pore sizes cleans faster than grade 5
material). Rotate cylinder during cleaning.
3. Rinse with clean water (preferably distilled) for five minutes.
4. Blow out or dry in air.
5. Store in clean dust-free container or reinstall in filter housing.

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.
