2.0 OBJECTIVE:

To rotate the turbine rotor system continuously on low speed

during start up and shutdown of the machine. This is to over
come the break away torque during startup and enable uniform
cooling of the rotor system during shutdown to prevent distortion
of rotor.

8.0 METHOD:

8.1 Set the throttle for the oil system to maintain the lub oil header
pressure to the required valve.

8.2 Set the throttles in the lub oil lines to individual bearings to
maintain the required flow to the bearings. Ensure the oil flow
through view glass in the return line.

8.3 SGC of oil system is commissioned.

8.4 SLC of pumps is commissioned and the auto change over of oil
pumps is established.

8.5 Check the functioning of oil temperature controller

8.6 Adjust the pressure control valve in the Jop discharge line to
maintain the required header pressure.

8.7 Check the SLC operation of Jack oil pumps.

8.8 Stop the Jack oil pump and mount dial gauges on the shaft
nearer to the bearings. This is to measure the lift of the shaft with
Job.

8.9 Start one Jop and notedown the lift of the shaft at each bearing. If
the lift is zero at any one of bearings adjust the isolating valve in
the Jop lines to bearings to alter the lift oil pressure and initiate
the lift. The lift should be at least 0.02 mm min, & 0.1 mm mas.
Mum.

8.10 Do hand barring and it should rotate freely. If it is found difficult,

check the lift again at all the bearings and improve the same if it
is zero at any of bearings.

8.11 Hookup the interlock and protection for barring gear and check
the same.

8.12 Put the machine on baring gear first by opening the gate valve
gearing and then starting the Jop.

8.13 The speed of the shaft system shall increase and attain the
specified speed.

8.14 Check for any rubbing of seals and sound in the bearings by
means of hearing rod. If no sound is heared, allow it to run for
some time.

8.15 Stop the bearing gear by closing the gate valve gearing and note
down the coasting down time.

8.16 Again open the gate valve gearing and run the barring gear for 8
hrs to check its performance.

8.17 Notedown the following readings every hour.

1. Lub oil header pressure

2. Lub oil temperature
3. Thrust position.
4. Bearing and shaft vibration
5. Speed
6. Bearing babbit temperature.
7. Jop header pressure and the same at individual bearing.
8. Return oil temperature.
