Sealing oil system operation modes

1. During normal operation, an AC sealing oil pump is running, and the oil source is from turbine
lubricating oil and vacuum oil tank . In normal operation, the vacuum of sealing oil vacuum tank
shall be kept at 85-90kpa to facilitate the separation and discharge of water and gas from the
oil.

2. When the AC sealing oil pump is faulty or the power supply is lost or vacuum tank float valve
failure , the operation mode is as follows: the oil source comes from the turbine lubricating oil
→ DC emergency sealing oil pump → sealing tile → air extraction tank → casing tube → main
turbine lube oil tank. In this operation mode, the vacuum oil tank is isolated, the vacuum pump
needs to be stopped, and the operation of hydrogen supplement and drainage must be
strengthened to maintain the Hydrogen purity.

3. When both AC and DC seal oil pumps are faulty, emergency shutdown shall be carried out and
hydrogen shall be discharged. The hydrogen pressure shall be reduced to 0.02-0.05MPa, and
the turbine lubricating oil shall be used to directly supply the oil to the sealing tile.

4. When the lubricating oil system of the main turbine is out of , the self circulation operation
mode can be carried out. The return oil at hydrogen side and air side is returned to the vacuum
oil tank. At this time, pay attention to monitoring the oil level of the vacuum oil tank, and keep
the high vacuum of vacuum oil tank if necessary.

Sealing oil system operation

1. Confirm that the lubricating oil system of the main turbine has been started and operates
normally.
2. Fill the vacuum oil tank of sealing oil with lubricating oil from the main turbine until it is normal.
3. Start the vacuum pump of sealing oil and open the air extraction valve of vacuum oil tank to
make the vacuum reach to the normal value of 85-90kpa.
4. Open the inlet valve of the seal oil pump for oil filling, open the outlet valve of the seal oil
pump, open the manual valve at the inlet and outlet of the pressure relief valve, open the
bypass valve of the pressure relief valve (or the AC seal oil pump re-circulation valve), close the
front and rear manual valves of the differential pressure control valve and and close the bypass
valve of differential pressure control valve , check that the seal oil pump can be started after it
meets the starting conditions, check that the seal oil pump operates normally, and adjust the
normal pressure of the seal oil main pipe to 0.75-0.8mpa. Pay attention to the oil level change
of the vacuum oil tank, and the float valve of oil tank is in good condition.
5. Start the seal oil re-circulation pump normally.
6. Start the exhaust fan of the air extraction tank and check that the fan operates normally.
7. Properly open the bypass valve of differential pressure valve to maintain the normal oil-gas
differential pressure of the generator (the pressure of compressed air in the generator should
be 0.05Mpa, kept at 0.036-0.056mpa). At the same time, pay attention to the oil level of the
float oil tank. If the oil level of the float oil tank is high, fully open the inlet valve of the bypass
inspection window and adjust the outlet valve of the inspection window to maintain the oil
level of the float oil tank at the horizontal center-line.
8. If the gas pressure in the generator is more than 0.1MPa, put hydrogen differential pressure
control valve into operation, and note that the automatic regulation of the differential pressure
valve is normal, and the differential pressure is maintained at about 0.056mpa.
9. In order to open the differential pressure valve, open hydrogen side pressure manual valve, seal oil side
pressure manual valve, differential pressure valve outlet manual valve, and gradually close the differential
pressure valve bypass valve, and gradually open the differential pressure valve inlet valve until the bypass
valve of differential pressure valve is fully closed and the inlet valve is fully open. differential pressure
valve put into operation.
