the bottom ring through Runner removal gallery.
Note: Ensure good ventilation and lighting before attempting entering in the Runner removal gallery.
The bottom ring is a weld constructed element from plates ensuring rigidity to with stand the forces
such as: water pressure from the hydraulic duct and hydraulic load on wicket gates.
The Bottom Ring is bolted to the Stay ring lower flange. The sealing between Bottom Ring and stay
ring: see drawing HINUR220MEALD20001 sheet 2 of 2
The bottom ring provides the guiding of the wicket gates. The lower wicket gate bearing housing
receives self lubricated bushes. The Lower bushes are provided with 2sets of seal: one special lip seal
and one ‘O’ ring to seal the water from turbine. The stem housing is provided with a stainless steel ring
on its lower face (hydraulic side).
Stainless steel face plates are bolted on the bottom ring by means of special stainless steel screws
(SA.22-202)
The stationary wearing ring (SA22-206) is bolted on the bottom ring before final machining.
The Wicket gate bores are provided with drain pipes to drain possible water leakage.
The main characteristics of the Bottom ring and other components of the lower part are as follows:
4.2.2 Auxiliaries
The bottom ring is provided with pipes at each Wicket gate bore to drain possible water leakage.
The Bottom ring is pinned at site on assembly with Stay ring after alignment. The Wicket gate
clearances between Wicket gate and lower Facing plate are achieved using screw between the
Wicket gate cover & Wicket gate
The wicket gate is casted from corrosive resistance and wear resistance material.
The wicket gates have two contact planes (one on the tail, the other at the inlet) for a better
contact between the wicket gates in closed position.
4.3.2 Bearings
Each wicket gate is guided on 3 self lubricated bushes. (Two on Head cover and one on Bottom ring).
An axial thrust bearing between lever and head cover supports the weight of the wicket gate and it’s
Levers/Handler. A counter thrust bearing is provided to limit eventual vertical displacement.
Shear pin (braking rod) on the operating mechanism limit the load on the wicket gate.
The angular clearance of the wicket gates is limited by a stopping system which prevents the wicket
gate from hitting the runner (in case of rupture of the wicket gate mechanical link).
The wicket gates are linked to an operating ring with a movable lever assembly ensuring:
- The synchronism between the wicket gates themselves
- The transmission of mechanical torque
- The precise positioning of all the wicket gates under the servomotor action
The lever is pinned to the wicket gate. The Wicket gate Lever is pinned through a Shear pin to the
Handler. The Shear pin breaks if there is abnormal hydraulic torque load on Wicket gate. The Shear
pin is provided with pneumatic system, in case the Shear pin is ruptured alarm will be given.
The Wicket gate Lever is also equipped with desired geometry which serves as a limit stop at both
Opening and Closing positions against end stopper provided in Head cover.
- The connecting Wicket gate Links bolted to the Operating ring by axles.
For each Wicket gate, Lever is bolted to Wicket gate link through an off centre axle called Eccentric
pin. This Eccentric Pin facilitate to adjust the Wicket gates to achieve effective Wicket gate nose to tail
contact during fully closed position of the Distributor (there must be a contact between all the wicket
gates when the operating ring is in the closed position).
Abcd PROJECT : URI-II 4x60 MW Alstom Projects India ltd.

The operating ring is bolted with 6 nos. self lubricated sectors. Head Cover is welded with 6 nos of
stainless steel sectors.. The stainless steel sectors are guided by self lubricated bearing sectors
throughout the range of movement of Operating ring.
The Thrust bearing pads and Counter thrust bearing pads are supported by Head cover to support
weight of Wicket gate and its Lever/Link and support the hydraulic thrust load in the opposite
direction.
Shear pin:
In the event of a wicket gate becoming blocked (foreign body, seizure...) the movement force becomes
too great. To avoid not being able to close the distributor, a "pneumatic system" ensures that the Shear
pin is broken in the event of abnormal force to avoid damaging the wicket gate and the operating link
system.
This system uses a high grade steel pin whose notch is determined to provoke a clean break. The shape
of the notch and the break diameter has been experimentally defined on samples of this steel so that the
break force is as close as possible to the defined value. The break force is experimentally checked
using a test-piece.
The shear pin are made of treated material with the following mechanical characteristics:
Braking system
In case of destruction of the shear pin, the free movement of the wicket gate is limited by the braking
system on the upper part of the wicket gate. The wicket gate lever is held by friction to the movable
lever by brake bushing.

5.3. RUNNER
5.3.1 Presentation
The Runner is the essential part from a hydraulic point of view, because its profile/geometry plays a
vital role for the turbine’s performance.
The runner cone is made up of welded Stainless steel plates. The Runner cone is bolted to the
Runner crown to continue the hydraulic profile and also provide a passage for the air necessary to
suppress the vortex below the Runner.
In the turbine, pressurised water passes from a fixed device (Stay ring and Distributor) to a mobile
device, the Runner.
The clearance between the fixed and mobile devices is designed to avoid contact between rotating
and fixed parts, but shall be small enough to limit the loss of water. Labyrinth rings are used to
minimise the leakage & head loss (in gap) by maintaining small gap. Fixed Labyrinth rings are
made up of cylindrical and circular grooves to create head losses.
The Labyrinth rings may be damaged due to abrasion (dirty water discharge in this gap) during
service. The Labyrinth rings are being designed to facilitate replacement as when required.
The Runner rotation can create a water vortex in Draft tube suction cone and due to this the pressure
can drop below atmospheric pressure. In order to avoid this phenomenon, the depression must be
compensated by injecting air into the vortex. The phenomenon may be experienced during part load
& high load operations.
An efficient means is to use the suction force created by the depression itself to inject the
atmospheric air through the turbine shaft and the generator shaft.
This valve must act like an automatic valve. In the event of major depression under the Runner, the
valve opens against spring force and facilitate the air enter into the Draft tube suction cone area. In
other situations (no or too little depression), the valve remains closed by a spring (or with the water
pressure). The spring compression is adjusted at site. The rod in the central part acts as a shock
absorber piston and the arm ensure the guiding of the rod.

6.1.1 Description
This bearing is located on the head cover as close as possible to the runner, to increase the rigidity
of the shaft line, and limit the deflection of the Runner. The role of this bearing is to create a
permanent film of oil between the spinning part and the part fixed to the head cover.
To guarantee constant efficiency of this film regardless of speed and load, the oil between the shaft
and the bearing is cooled through water filled outside the Rotating sump during operation.
6.1.2 Composition
The Rotating Oil sump is bolted to the turbine shaft lower flange. The Oil sump is rotated along
with the Turbine shaft .

6.2.1 Presentation
The shaft seal ensures that the spinning parts are sealed from the pressurised water circulating
around the runner.
Water pressure has already been reduced by the wearing rings, but a flow remains which must be
confined around the runner.
This sealing function is very important; therefore the shaft seal is seconded by an inflatable seal
which can only be applied when the turbine is stopped.
This inflatable seal enables work to be carried out during maintenance operation in the turbine pit
and prevents flooding of the turbine pit, or even the power station.
Filtered water is injected between 2 concentric rings of the flat seal. The rings rub against a
spinning wearing plate. The seal is screwed to a movable ring mobile in translation movement, but
stopped in rotation by pins. This translation motion is important for small movement of the seal
during operation but also to compensate the wearing of the rings or to be able to lift the rotor
during dismantling, erection or maintenance.
The guiding plate fixed on the seal support centres the mobile parts. A seal is provided to avoid
leakage in this area.
The clean water is injected under a pressure higher than the water pressure on the top of the runner
crown to ensure:
- Lubrication of the surface under friction
- Evacuation of the seal’s calorific losses
- Creation of an obstacle against the water, loaded with impurities, coming from the turbine.
There is then a natural leakage with cleaned water in direction of the water on the runner crown
and in direction of a sump. The water in the sump is recovered with pipes and evacuated by gravity
to the dewatering pit.
With this system there is always clean water between the rings and the wearing plates to avoid
damaging these elements during operation with dust in the water coming from the penstock.
This clean water must be maintained even when the Unit is stopped, unless the draft tube is drained
or if the inflatable seal is under pressure. This continual injection prevents solid particles in
suspension in the downstream water coming up as far as the seal.
The flat seal is plated with the combined force of weight of movable ring, compression springs and
pressure of water to be sealed, on a rotating wearing ring.

Characteristics Values
Filtered water flow 2.5 l/Sec.
Pressure of injected water 4.8 bar maxi
Degree of filtration of injected water 50 µm
An inflatable seal is fixed on the seal support. This is used for maintenance purpose only. This seal
is fed with air under pressure. The inflatable seal is applied against the Rotating Oil Sump when
the turbine is stopped and during long lasting unit shut downs. Inflatable seal avoids plant flooding.
This is more importance for under ground power houses.
Note: Before start of the Unit, the maintenance seal must be checked to avoid its destruction at the
first start.
6.3.2 Safety
Alstom consider that the use of the inflatable seal should be restricted to maintenance purpose.
However, if a unit is shut down for a significant period, it makes sense applying the inflatable seal
in order to stop the shaft seal water pumps.

The role of this assembly is to distribute the fluids necessary for operation around the turbine. In
particular, the auxiliary water pipes provide important functions for the life of the turbine, force
balancing, leak evacuation.
The pipes are classified according to the sub-assembly they are referring to. There are different
kinds of pipes according to the fluid they are carrying:
Necessary air for the inflatable seal is supplied by these pipes. The air pressure enables the sealing
of the water pressure on the top of the runner crown when the unit is stopped.
9.3. AERATION
The common pipe for air admission as well as leakage water drainage has been provided. This pipe
will be connected to the drainage gallery. Compressed air supply is also ensured to the air
admission valve in order to forceful closure of valve in case of excesses water leakage. Refer
drawing HINUR220MEALD70006.
9.4. BALANCING PIPES:
The aim of these pipes is to bring into communication the downstream pressure (in the draft tube)
and the upper part of the Runner crown, so as to reduce the pressure between the head cover and
the runner crown and then to reduce the axial hydraulic forces transmitted to the thrust bearing.
There are 4 nos. of pipes to distribute the low pressure around the Runner crown. Balancing pipe
inlet at head cover is provided with orifice plate (SA.21-212 & 218). For Balancing pipe refer

9.5. EVACUATION
Water seeping between the seal ring and the shaft is normally evacuated by gravity to the power
station de-watering pit. If the pipes intended to this are not sufficient or dogged, water level raises
within the seal sump until spilling into the head cover area.
This area should normally remain dry. However, water entry is possible due to following reasons:
- insufficient drainage of shaft seal (see above)
- failure of wicket gate shaft seal
- condensation
The water is evacuated to turbine pit drainage gallery by three means (refer drawing
HINUR220MEALD70004):
DN 300 pit drainage pipe provided at lowest elevation above smallest scroll.
Head cover drain pump (manual + standby) operated by level gauges (Installed on head
cover).
Head cover gravity drain DN 100.
Bottom Ring drainage pipe ensure the draining of the leakage from Wicket Gates. Refer drawings
HINUR220MEALD70004 & HINUR220MEALD70005.
Water is to be supplied for the turbine shaft seal in order to create a film of water between the
wearing plate and the seal. This water must be filtered and supplied at a constant pressure. Pressure
is adjusted by a restrictor set at installation to take into account the load losses in the supply circuit.
The water is constantly supplied, even when the unit is stopped. For long shutdown inflatable seal
to be applied before withdrawing water discharge to shaft seal. Refer drawing

SUMMARY
For details of Head Cover drainage pump refer O & M manuals of Balance of Plant.
3.2.1 Introduction
To drain the water from the head cover, two electric motor pumps with water level sensors are
installed in the head cover.
Refer O & M Manuals of Balance of plant.
Hydro Ejector draining is provided for the Pit drainage as a backup. It will initiate automatically,
once water level is reached at certain defined level.
Refer drawing : HINUR220MEALD70 008
The function of these components is to guide the shaft line and ensure unit tightness to the water
from the penstock passing through the runner.
The function of this bearing is to create a permanent oil film between the rotating part (Turbine
shaft) and the stationary part (bearing shell).
The rotating oil sump is filled with Oil through ø38mm holes provided as and when required.
Refer drawing HINUR220MEALD40001.
The metal temperature and oil temperature are measured by dial thermometers/RTDs provided.
The temperature probes/switches are provided for remote sensing/annunciation/alarm. These
signals can be used to control the Bearing temperature. These temperature values are design
values to be set in-situ.
The temperature of the bearing metal and bearing oil shall not exceed 70oC and 65oC
respectively under continuous normal operating conditions.
Refer drawing HINUR220MEUFF00007
5 SHAFT SEAL
For the shaft seal description refer to section 2 of this manual.
The main function of shaft seal ensures that the spinning parts are sealed from the pressurized
water from the turbine passage. The Shaft seal is also provided with an inflatable seal which can
be applied when the Turbine is stopped. The inflatable is applied by pneumatic pressure. This
inflatable seal enables work to be carried out during maintenance operation in the Turbine pit
and prevents flooding of the Turbine pit, or even the power station.
Refer drawing HINUR220MEALD40002 & HINUR220MEUFF00007
During operation there is a rubbing between Wearing rings. The Wearing ring subjected to
wear out. It needs to monitored and replaced. The rate of wearing is measured by Wear
indicator. The Wear indicator has been provided with proximity switch to facilitate remote
sensing for replacing fixed wearing ring.
This clean water under pressure is maintained even when the unit is stopped, unless the draft
tube is drained or if the inflatable seal is pressurized. The clean water comes from the power
house cooling water system through shaft seal fine filters.
An electromagnetic induction type water flow meter with adjustable alarm contacts is provided
in the water supply piping to the seal. These contacts will be wired to terminal blocks in the
turbine terminal box. One additional contact is provided to operate and indication light in the
gauge panel to indicate that shaft seal water in “ON”.
Alstom consider that the use of the inflatable seal should be restricted to maintenance
purpose. However, if a unit is shut down for a significant period, it makes sense applying the
inflatable seal in order to stop the shaft seal water pumps.
The servomotors should be capable of closing the unit under maximum head when operated at the
lowest operating pressure in the governor oil pressure tank (taking into account the losses in
connecting pipes).
The force for moving the turbine Wicket gates will be approximately equal between the two
servomotors and applied in substantially equal magnitude to opposite sides of the Operating Ring
in tangential direction.
The locking device will withstand the full operating force of the servomotors.

A pneumatic system is provided to actuate an alarm in the event of breakage of a shear pin. The
wicket gate protection system will initiate unloading and emergency shutdown of the unit by
generating the electric failure signal and alarm.
A wicket gate restraining device by friction is provided between each lever and arm. It prevents
the flail or erratic movement of the wicket gate following the failure of the wicket gate protection
devices. It allows the wicket gate operating ring to move in either opening or closing direction.
The friction device mechanism will be tested during erection to ensure performance as
designed.
A braking device is provided to prevent free movement of the jammed wicket gates under the
hydraulic torque. The wicket gates have an hydraulic tendency to close.
8 SERVOMOTORS:
One transducer is installed on each servomotor to measure the Wicket gate opening. A pointer
and scale calibrated in the field, graduated in tenths with subdivisions, will indicate the percent
stroke of the servomotor and guide vanes angle in degrees from the closed position.
One manual lock for the Wicket gates in fully open and fully closed positions is provided. It can
be easily engaged and disengaged by single person. Electrical contact switches are provided to
indicate the Wicket gates lock in the fully closed and fully open positions. An additional contact
for unit start interlock is also provided. The contacts are wired to terminal blocks in the turbine
terminal box.
The servomotor is provided with diaphragms on the oil inlet and outlet to create head loss in
case of failure of oil piping, and to prevent the distributor to close too quickly.

TURBINE HINUR220MEADC00001
The servomotor is provided with dampers/cushioning to reduce the piston speed during
servomotor closing. The diaphragm diameter and the damper are adjustable at site
The wicket gate closing time is about 8 seconds. The servomotor closing law is defined with a
two slope line, to limit overpressure in the spiral case and penstock.
Manual latches are used to guarantee the personnel safety during maintenance operations on the
unit. They enable the distributor to be locked in «Closing» or «Opening» position.
These locks are very useful during installation. One each lock has been provided for open
position and closed position. The servomotor locks are capable of withstanding max servo force.
Electrical contacts enable the display of position of locks.
To carry out the maintenance operations in the spiral case, this must be fully drained.
The Spiral casing is drained to Dewatering gallery through Draft tube. The Spiral case drainage
pipe is provided with drain valve and it connected to Draft tube. Ensure that the MIV is fully
closed. Close Draft tube gates. Open Drain valve to let the water to drain into the Draft Tube.
Refer drawing HINUR220MEALD71005.
Note: Ensure the spiral drain valve is always kept in closed position.
Note: Ensure the Draft tube drain valve is always kept closed position.
Caution:
1. Do not try to dismantle any component of Turbine hydraulic till it is
completely drained/dewatered.
2. And also ensure to make the Hydraulic passage leak proof immediately after
the days maintenance operation without fail to avoid possible flooding of
Power house.
Under certain operation conditions, when the pressure under the runner becomes lower than the
atmospheric pressure, the atmospheric air is naturally admitted under the runner through the air
admission valve and through the shaft.
The air admission valve is a disc valve. It opens when the pressure below the disc is lower than
the atmospheric pressure, and remain closed in the contrary.
A spring keep the valve closed when the pressure is equalized each sides of the disc valve. The
spring balance the weight of the movable parts.
The sensitivity of the valve opening and closing is adjusted through the adjustment of the
compression of the spring.
A float under the disc valve keep it closed with a closing force, to avoid leakage of water. In case
of leakage of water, a drain pipe collect the water to the drainage gallery.
The rod in the central part acts as a shock absorber piston and the arm ensures the guiding of
the rod. The axial valve is equipped with a limit stop in order to limit the valve’s maximum stroke.

HYDRAULIC TORQUE WRENCHES
TWSN - HYDRAULIC TORQUE WRENCHES
SQUARE DRIVE
Working pressure 700 Bar
Compact, lightweight, aluminium construction
Reversible square drive for tightening and loosening
applications
Suitable for continuous operation at maximum pressure
Body shroud engraved with torque/pressure chart TWS370
Hi-Force TWS-N series lightweight aluminium hydraulic torque wrenches are designed to handle the
toughest bolting jobs accurately and quickly. All models provide a torque accuracy of +/- 3% with a handy
torque chart clearly engraved on the tool. The internal reaction arm spline allows the operator to easily
position the tool and, if necessary, react directly off the tool body in very confined access applications.
All models incorporate an easily reversible high grade alloy steel square drive enabling the operator to
quickly switch from tightening to loosening applications. Uni-Swivel quick release couplers are fitted as
standard to all models enabling easy positioning of the hydraulic hoses away from any possible “pinch
points.” Optional allen hex drives are available (see below) along with a comprehensive range of high quality
torque wrench sockets.

Hi-Force TWH-N series female hexagon cassette head hydraulic torque wrenches offer a choice of 5
models with output torque capacities from 2625 Nm to 48181 Nm (1906 to 34985 lbf.ft).
Manufactured from high grade aluminium (except TWH430N), all models provide direct in-line reaction
and a minimal radius clearance for easy fitment in confined spaces. The user friendly design of the tool
simply requires the operator to withdraw/insert a single pin to change the ratchet head. Ratchet heads
are available in all standard metric and imperial AF sizes from 24 to 175mm (11/16” to 6 7/8 ”) with low cost
hexagon reducer bushes also available. Uni-Swivel quick release couplers are fitted as standard to all
models, enabling easy positioning of the hydraulic hoses.

Rod Seals, which guard against external leakage, are one of the most
vital components of the sealing system. In recognition of their critical
nature, Parker is pleased to offer the most complete range of materials
and profiles in the industry. Our advanced plastic, rubber and PTFE
material development delivers the highest performance in a wide variety
of rod seal applications. Cutting edge technologies include multiple
sealing lip systems, shock-load resistance, low friction and ultra-dry
capability.
5[OOGVTKECN5GCNU
With thousands of available size and material combinations, Parker
symmetrical profiles are designed to act as either rod or piston seals,
allowing one part number to function in two applications. Often copied
but never equaled, the PolyPak™ for hydraulic applications and the
8400 u-cup for pneumatic applications have revolutionized the fluid
power industry and become trusted standards. Symmetrical u-cups and
squeeze seals are available in a variety of lip shapes and materials.
2KUVQP5GCNU
Our diverse product line of piston seal profiles suits a broad range of
hydraulic and pneumatic applications. Whatever the need, from low
pneumatic pressures to extreme hydraulic shock loading, Parker has the
solution. Profiles are available to meet the demands of uni-directional
and bi-directional pressure, low friction, easy installation, port passing,
and zero-drift scenarios.
9KRGTU
Just as rod seals are designed to keep fluid in, Parker wipers perform
to keep contamination out. Wipers work in conjunction with rod seals
to form the first line of defense in protecting a system and keeping it
free from dirt, mud, water, and other contaminants. Incorporating the
latest technology in aggressive wiping lips and OD exclusion, Parker has
solutions in press-in, snap-in, and double lip profiles.

Parker back-up rings offer simple solutions to safely increase system
pressure or solve an existing seal extrusion problem. Standard profiles
are available in a variety of materials to complement virtually any Parker
rod or piston profile.

Parker is pleased to offer the material advantages of the Resilon™
family of urethanes in standard and custom o-ring sizes. With high
temperature Resilon o-rings, the need for back-ups can be eliminated,
simplifying installation and reducing damage due to spiral failure. Static
head seals are ideal for replacing o-rings and back-ups in hydraulic
cylinder heads, fool-proofing installation and eliminating failures due to
back-up pinching and blow-out.

It is not uncommon for the requirements of a sealing system to fall into multiple duty columns. When this
situation occurs you should select the majority of your components from the lesser duty range.
In selecting a sealing component you will evaluate the temperature, pressure and pressure spike variables of
the application. With a wear ring, you will want to look at the temperature and side loading section. This does
not preclude the need to consider such things as fluid being sealed and stroke speed.

1 — Hardness.
Hardness, also referred to as durometer, is
a property frequently associated with extrusion
resistance (see Table 2-4 on page 2-5). It is not
a good indication of extrusion resistance when
comparing different material classifications. For
example, a polyurethane and a nitrile compound with
the same hardness will not share the same extrusion
resistance. Hardness also relates to low pressure
sealability, since the ability of a seal to conform to
a mating surface depends, to a high degree, on the
hardness of the material. The harder a material,

5 — Resilience 3
Resilience, also known as rebound, strongly
correlates to how quickly a seal will respond to
changing conditions in a dynamic environment. This
property measures the ability of a material to return to
its original shape after being deformed, as well as the
speed at which it can achieve this.
Figure 3-6. Modulus of Elasticity Examples of conditions that require seals to exhibit
excellent resilience are out-of-round cylinders and
rapid side loading situations that cause the rod
to move sideways quickly. Applications with high
vibration or high stroke speed can also benefit from
high resiliency seals. (ASTM method D2632, DIN
