Problem Faced in Turbine Governing System During Commissioning of TDBFP
Problem Faced in Turbine Governing System During Commissioning of TDBFP
HP CONTROL VALVE:
The pilot valve was opened and serviced. The holes for jet oil were
thoroughly cleaned. The flow path (drilled passages in the body from
control oil to jet oil inlet to the pilot) for the jet oil was inspected.
It was found that one of the plugs provided in the drilled hole ends
was found to be obstructing the flow of oil. The plug length was
reduced by cutting and proper oil flow was ensured. The jet oil was
adjusted with the adjusting screw and free rotation of the pilot was
observed.
The tripping device was opened and it was observed that the hole for
draining of holding oil was not found. The same was checked in the
tripping device of TDBFP - 4B and draining hole was available there.
One 2 mm hole was drilled at site similar to TDBFP - 4B tripping
device. Dummy provided in the holding oil line was removed and the
behavior of tripping device was found to be normal.
During solo run of TDBFP drive turbine, oil injection test was carried
out at 5400 RPM. The over speed pin acted at 5.5 ksc of test oil
pressure. Actual over speed test was carried out and it was found that
the trip pin is not acting even at 6100 RPM. Turbine was stopped and
the over speed governor assembly was dismantled for servicing. Lot of
machining chips were found inside the hollow shaft, which were removed
and cleaned. Also, the eccentric weight (adjustable pin, item number 6
in the enclosed drawing) was not found at the end as recommended in
the drawing. The assembly was done keeping the pin at end. Again
during trial run, the trip device acted at 5400 RPM.
Over Speed Trip Device was dismantled. The original pin (M12X1.5)
was having length of 47mm. Spare pin of 37.5 mm length brought from
BHEL,Hyderabad was assembled and over speed trial was taken.
Further the same pin was cut and the over speed trip was adjusted. For
achieving the trip value of 6030 RPM, three trials were taken.
During oil injection test, the test oil is admitted through limiting
device and through regulating valve. It was observed during operation of
turbine at rated speed that the test oil line is getting pressurized to 1
ksc even after keeping the test oil supply valve in close position. This
may lead to early operation of tripping device. The residual test oil
pressure is suspected to be developed from lube oil inside front bearing
pedestal. This pressure is killed by keeping the test oil regulating valve
full open. The oil returns to the drain through this regulating valve and
test oil pressure remains zero. Hence BHEL site advised the customer
to close the oil injection ball valve during turbine running and to keep
the oil injection-regulating valve fully open to drain the test oil line.
