1. The document provides steps for vacuum killing and vacuum pulling in a 500 MW thermal power plant.
2. For vacuum killing, the condenser pressure is reduced to -0.87 mmHg by cutting off vacuum pumps, then various valves are opened and closed to further reduce pressure and isolate gland seal steam systems as the turbine speed decreases.
3. For vacuum pulling, gland seal steam valves are opened to drain and heat the system before starting vacuum pumps in hogging mode and closing the vacuum breaker valve to begin pulling vacuum, while the gland seal steam exhauster and pressure are increased to charge the turbine gland seal system.

Following steps to be followed for vacuum killing in 500 MW thermal
power plant 1. About after 2-3 hour of tripping of turbine, observing that turbine speed is about 136 rpm.(about constant speed) 2. CUT-OFF both vacuum p/p while condenser pressure is -0.87 mmHg. 3. When condenser vacuum comes up to -0.4 mmHg, open vacuum Breaker v/v. 4. When condenser vacuum comes at -0.20 mmHg, isolate the both TDBF's gland seal steam and GLAND SEAL STEAM for main turbine. 5. Both Gland seal steam condenser exhauster fans made off. 6. Observe turbine speed comes about 80rpm.
VACCUUM PULLING IN THERMAL POWER PLANT 500 MW Following steps to be followed for vacuum pulling in 500 MW thermal power plants 1. Open gland seal steam v/v at PRDS floor and manual drain v/v and observe temperature of gland seal steam. Let it reach about 250 degree Celsius. 2. Start both vacuum p/p, pump put in hogging mode. 3. CLOSE vacuum breaker v/v. 5. Switch ON the gland seal steam exhauster. 6. Slowly increase the seal steam header pr to 300 mmwc. 7.charge TDBFP's gland seal steam .
