TURBINE STARTUP PROCEDURE:

PREPERATION FOR COLD STARTUP1. Steam system:

The isolated valve & bypass valve before emergency stop valve are
closed.
The emergency stop valve & control valve are closed.
The drain valves to the air in the main steam and extraction piping are
opened.
The drain valves in the piping connecting the casing ,balance pipe &
extraction pipe to the drain flash tank are closed.
The inlet valve & drain valve in the steam supplying piping for the
gland bush are closed.
The extraction stop valve and isolated valve are closed.
The steam inlet valve, air valve & the drain valve for the air ejector are
closed.
The steam inlet valve and the drain valve for the gland steam cooler
are closed.
2. Oil system:
Oil quality is checked off.
Oil level of the oil tank is at normal position.
The isolated valves of the inlet and outlet of for the oil pump and the
inlet and outlet valves of the oil cooler and filter are opened.
The cooling water inlet valve is closed and outlet valve is opened.
If the oil temp. at the tank is <20 deg C ,it is required to be heated by a
heater. The inlet oil temp. of the bearing during turbine starting must
be
>or = 35 deg C.
When main oil pump is driven by turbine ,start the auxillary oil pump
and then electric main oil pump.
Check & maintain the control oil pressure > or = 0.8 Mpa and oil
pressure in lubricating oil header approx.. 0.25 Mpa.
Check all oil piping joints for no leakage and check the nitrogen filling
pressure.
Start vapour exhaust fan to form a weakly negative pressure inside the
oil tank,return oil tank, return oil piping and bearing housing.
3. Steam condensing system:
Where the exhaust is led to the common condenser, the vaccum
butterfly gate is closed tightly.
Fill up the steam side of the condenser with water , which should be the
condensate in accordance to the requirement or treated chemically,to
the level of indicated by the level gauge of hot well.
Fully open the outlet valve of the cycling water and slightly open the
inlet valve.

 Open the water inlet valve of the condensate pump and the cut-off
valve in the air piping from the condensate pump to the steam side of
the condenser.
Close the water outlet valve to the boiler feed water system.
After the condensate pump operated, gradually open the outlet valve
of the condensate pump.
Open the recycle valve, the water-supplying system valve to the waterstealing element of the vacuum system.
The level auto control system of the hot well is disabled temporarily.
Putting the ejector into operation gradually open the steam inlet valve
of the starting air ejector until the pressure after the valve reached to
0.2 Mpa.
Warm up the piping for 5 minutes, and then rise the pressure to the
normal working pressure.
Slowly open the air valve between the air ejector and the condenser,
building up vacuum in the system.
When the vacuum reached to 0.4 Mpa and the condensate pump has
worked normally, start the main air ejector.
Warm up the piping of the main air ejector, open the drain valve of the
cooler when the steam is admitted.
Put the second stage of main air ejector has aerated normally, stop the
starting air ejector.
During stoppage, close the air valve first and then steam inlet valve.
When turbine starting, the vacuum should be at .06 Mpa, the minimum
value cannot be less than .052 Mpa.
4. Supplying gland steam and barring:
In order to build up the vacuum in the condensing system quickly, it is
required to supply the gland steam for the gland bush during barring.
The attention must be paid that supplying the steam for the gland bush
under rotor standstill should be avoided.
Adjust the supplying steam flow based on the vacuum change in time.
Meanwhile, once the gland bush has be supplied with the steam, rotate
the rotor as soon as possible, so as to avoide the excessive
temperature difference between the upper and the lower parts of the
gland bush.
The attention must be paid during turbine hot starting, under barring
the gland bush should be supplied with gland steam first and then start
the air ejector to build up the vacuum.
The cold water or cold steam should be avoided entering into the gland
bush during supplying the gland steam.
Before turbine starting, the barring gear must be put into operation in
advance, it is important especially for turbine hot starting.
Where the shaft jacking system is provided, enable the barring gear
after the jacking system has worked normally.
For the turbine with manual or hydraulic discontinuous-type barring
gear, the barring must be disable before the rotor rotates.
But the interval from stopping barring to rotating the rotor should not
be longer than 5 minutes.
5. Protection system:

 Before checking and adjusting protection and control system, the

steam source to the turbine must be cut off.
The efficiency trip gear is engaged.
The manual trip value, trip solenoid valve and the extraction solenoid
valve are at normal operation states.
Opening emergency stop valve and trip test:
Where the trip block is provided refer to the description in 1-2001-xxxx.
For the turbine without the trip block, see 1-1840-xx-xx. For the
extraction turbine, open the extraction stop valve following the
emergency stop valve fully opened, and then under valve fully opened,
carried trip tests manually and remotely, respectively.
After received the trip command, the emergency stop valve should
close immediately.
The closing time of the stop valve should be less than 1 second.
Where the test slide valve for the over speed governor is provided, the
slide valve should be at the normal operation position.
The pressure protection functions for exhaust and extraction are leased
temporarily.
6. Control system:
The control system should be adjusted and testing prior to the first
starting for the newly installed turbine or after turbine or control
system overhauled.
Otherwise it is not required to readjust before turbine starting, except
for the routine inspection.
If the adjustment is necessary, please refer to section 3-1400-01-xx
turbine commissioning.
For the turbine with hydraulic or mechanic-hydraulic governor, continue
to operate the starting control after the emergency stop valve opened
for building up the secondary-oil pressure.
The secondary oil pressure 0.15 Mpa and 0.45 Mpa correspond to the
zero and full openings of the control valve, respectively.
When the emergency stop valve tripped, the control valve should be
closed simultaneously.
Before the turbine starting, set the speed governor at its low limit.
Where the extraction is provided, set the extraction controller at zero
extraction position.
For the turbine with the controlled backpressure or fresh-steam
pressure, set backpressure or fresh-steam pressure controller at its low
limit before they take over the control.
For the turbine with digital controller, select the manual control mode
in open loop on the controller.
Change the output of the controller after the emergency stop valve
opened.
The minimum output of the controlled corresponds to the secondary-oil
pressure 0.15 Mpa from the electric-hydraulic converter and zero
opening of the control valve, while the maximum output of the
controller corresponds to the secondary oil pressure 4.5 Mpa and full
opening of the control valve.

 When the emergency stop valve tripped, the control valve should be
closed simultaneously.
The controlling functions for the extraction pressure and back pressure
or fresh-steam pressure in the controller are all at the disabled states.
7. Instruments:
All of the readings on the primary and secondary are in accordance
with current states and measured parameters.
8. Warming up piping:
Warm up the main steam piping before the isolate valve.

STARTING TURBO-GENERATOR:
1. Warming up piping:
To warm up the main steam piping between the emergency stop valve
and isolated valve, gradually open the bypass valve of the isolated
valve and then isolated valve.
The warm-up of the piping should be carried out according to the
pressure and temperature rising rates specified in the operation
procedure.
After the pressure before the emergency stop valve reached to the
rated value, fully open the isolated valve.
2. starting curve:
The starting curve 0-0320-T.Nr-00 in the attached documents is
applicable to your turbine.
As showed in the picture below, it consists of two sets of curves.

 Each set of curves includes several starting curves suitable for different
state.

 The cold state means that the temperature of the turbine casing is at
room temperature during starting.
While the temperature of the casing inner wall at the control stage
section is heigher than 150 deg C, it is called hot state.
The starting curves for hot states are usually given out based on the
interval duration from stopping to restarting.
When the shut down duration lies betwwen two given times,the
starting curve can be educed with interpolation method.
Where the measuring point of the casing temperature is provided,the
starting curve for hot state is based on the temperature of the casing
inner wall at the control stage section.
If the zone forbidding speed to stay exists in the turbine starting,its up
and low limits will be indicated on the starting curve.
The speed must pass through this speed zone quickly and continuously
during raising speed.
3. Opening emergency stop valve Open the emergency stop valve with the starting control (1-1840-) or
the starting valve mounted in the trip block (1-2001-)
4. Raising speed Raise the turbine speed from the low warming-up speed to the rated
speed in steps.
After the speed reached to 80%Nm,the inlet oil temperature of the
bearing should not be lower than 42 deg C.
When it is higher than 42 deg C,adjust the opening of the water inlet
valve of the oil cooler to kept the oil temperature with in the range of
45+3 deg C.
When the MOP is driven by the turbine shaft,switch the auxillary oil
pump to the MOP when the turbine speed reached to 80 or 85%Nm.
When the governor takes over the control,increase the speed set point
of the governor,raising the turbine speed to the rated speed.
Usually,when the abnormal condition,such as excessive
vibration,occurs during raising speed, lower the speed first and then
continue to raise the speed after stabilized for a while.
After the turbine speed reached the rated speed, the vaccum of the
condenser should reach to the rated value. The vaccum monitoring
may be enabled at this moment.
When the turbine is running under no load, the steam flow passed
through the turbine is very small, it is not enough to carry off the heat
in the exhaust section, resulting in the temperature rose and vibration
takes place. So the turbine cant run under no load and temp must not
exceed 120 deg C.
5. Loading During loading on the turbine set, the loading rate should be controlled
.
With the increase of the steam flow, temperature & pressure
increased. So to keep the expansion & thermal stess in permitted
range.
For cold starting turbine, it will take aaprox. 0.35Ta from 5% Pnto 50%
Pn, approx. 0.65ta from 50% Pn to 100% Pn.

 For hot starting turbine, the ratio of the times lasted for different load
zone is differed with the shut down time.
When pressure at the extraction port is higher than the extraction line,
open the extraction stop valve to supply steam to the extraction line.
After that, close the drain valve in th extraction piping and enable the
extraction pressure monitoring,it should be about 5% of the rated
extraction flow per min.
