Illustrated parts list
Refer to parts list:

Æ MAD40
6.1 Preparations
Disconnect all electric connections of the instrumentation and thermocouples at the
bearing pedestal.
Mark all connections for subsequent re-connection.
WARNING
Automatic re-start
Oil pressure in the system could cause injury
Æ Tag-out/Lock-out the pumps for generating the pressure in the system to pre-
vent unexpected switching-on.
Prior to disassembly remove the transmitters for vibration measurement.

Note
When dismantling the bearing pedestal housing, keep all components that come
into contact with lube oil absolutely clean

6.2 Blanking off the lube oil supply
Note
This is only required if operation of the bearing jacking oil system is necessary for
maintenance of turbine or oil system components.
The auxiliary oil system start-up is only necessary when during maintenance work:
- the rotor must be turned or displaced (axial clearance measurement)
- the bearing clearances must be measured.
6.2.1 Removing the orifice and fitting the blanking plate
- Refer to Fig. 6-2.
Remove the cover 1 of the splash guard 2.
Loosen the hex. head bolts 3, 4 remove bolts 4 at the connection flange according to
Fig. 6-2 and pull out the orifice 6.
Install the blanking plate 5.
Caution
Mark at the outer side of the splash guard indicating that the blanking plate (5) is
installed. Fasten the original orifice plate (6) to the oil line.
Refit and tighten the cover of the splash guard.

ea.
Æ Make sure to correctly follow the local and OEM (Original Equipment Manufac-
ture) regulations.
Caution
Obey fully the instruction "Hydraulic stretching of elongation bolts" when loosening
the elongation bolts. Take note of the instructions of the tool manufacturer.
Pull out the cylindrical bolts 7 using eyebolt.

Note
Clean the bolt tensioning device after use and store it in the tool cabinet.
6.3.2 Lifting off the upper part

Screw the jack screws 802 against the bearing pedestal lower part 1 and lift the
upper part by 1-2 mm. Refer to Fig. 6-3
Lift off carefully and vertically the bearing pedestal upper part 2. Do not damage the
threads of the elongation studs 3 and the oil shields in the upper part.
Keep the bearing pedestal upper part horizontal using chain hoists.

Unscrew the elongation studs 3.

Cover the lube oil ports in the parting plane to keep unwanted material out of the
lube oil system, use coloured adhesive tape so that it is easily visible.
Note
Unscrew the jack screws from the upper part and put them in the tool cabinet.
6.4 Check measurements and inspections

6.4.1 Bearing pedestal, upper part
Check the oil shields for any damage.
6.4.2 Bearing pedestal, lower part
Measure the radial clearances of the oil shields and enter Test certificate
measurements in the test certificate. HTGD 499 343
Check the oil shields for any damage.

6.6.1 Check measurements on the journal bearing

Note
To measure the bearing's clearance, mount the auxiliary rotor support before dis-
assembling the top bearing section.
Place a dial gauge on the bearing pedestal and position the dial gauge spindle on
the highest point of the rotor shaft. Use the auxiliary rotor support to slowly lift the ro-
tor and take a reading from the dial gauge.
Enter the measurement as clearance "V" taken at the bearing Test certificate
into the test certificate. IBSE 500 739
6.6.2 Removing the thermocouples

Unscrew the bearing temperature thermocouples from the lower part of the bearing
and unplug the socket connection from the bearing pedestal. Mark them with the cor-
rect KKS designations.

6.7 Installing the auxiliary rotor support

Note
This is only required if the journal bearing lower part must be removed.
Install the rotor raising device 902 according to Fig. 6-6

Note
When the Auxiliary rotor support is installed only rotate or move the rotor by hand.
Attach the Inlay 1 upside down to a crane with two chain blocks using both Inlay
eyebolts 7. Orient the Inlay 1 in the correct position to the bearing housing. Coat the
Inlay 1 and shaft journal with lube oil. Put down the Inlay 1 onto the shaft. Make sure
that the Eyebolts 7 are diagonal (i.e.: front and back of the inlay). Gradually let up on
one of the hoists to allow the Inlay 1 to roll down around the shaft until it stabilizes in
the bottom of the bearing housing. In the final position the inlay 1 must be parallel
with the parting plane.
Insert the Threaded bars 3 into the Inlay 1. Lubricate the Threaded bars 3 the Wash-
ers 5 and the Hexagonal nuts 4 with Graphite Lubricant Paste. Attach the Bracket 2
to a crane with a chain block using the Eyebolt 6. Put down the bracket 2 over the
threaded bars 3 of the inlay 1 and onto the parting plane of the bearing pedestal 10.
Put the Washers 5 and the Hexagonal nuts onto the Threaded bars 3.
Tight the Hexagonal head screws 8 to fix the rotor raising device in the correct posi-
tion then slightly loosen the Hexagonal head screws 8 to allow the lifting process.
Insert sliding plate 9.

Note
Monitor the lifting with a dial gauge. Make sure that there is a clearance between
the rotor and the journal bearing lower part.
Caution
Monitor the shaft seal and blade clearances when changing the axial position of the
turbine rotors.
