Condenser Sequential Erection Process
Condenser Sequential Erection Process
1. Marking of center axis both X & Y (Longitudinal & Transverse). 2. Hot well assembly / pre assembled plates are to be kept in position. 3. Cleaning of foundation, chipping, packer plates fixing, leveling & grouting of packer plates. 4. Positioning, Leveling of springs & locking the same. 5. Erection of condenser saddle supports on the spring. 6. Erection of condenser pre assembled bottom plate. 7. Erection of side walls of condenser. 8. Erection & alignment of front & rear tube plates. 9. Fixing & alignment of intermediate tube support plates. 10. Final alignment of all the support plates & leveling of condenser. 11. Locking of all the plates rigidly. 12. Welding of support plates as per the specification & as per welding sequential procedure. 13. Erection Alignment & welding of steam spacer chamber & its supporting Structure. 14. Erection Alignment & welding of air evacuation piping plates of condenser. 15. Cover the top of condenser (for entry of any foreign materials that can damage the tubes). 16. Cleaning of all the tube holes of each supporting plate free from burr before starting of insertion of tubes. 17. Leveling, Tubes Expansion, excess tube cutting if required & beveling as per procedure given. 18. Erection of water box covers with proper positioning of Gasket/ O-ring. 19. Uniform & sequent ional tightening of bolts for equal compression of gasket/ o-ring. 20. Erection, alignment of & welding of hot well. 21. Arrangements for leak testing of steam space by dummying the tapping points where ever required. 22. Fill DM water into the condenser up to steam space of condenser. 23. Mixing of fluorescent chemical in water check the tube from outside with UV lamp for any leaks at both sides. 24. Mark the same & rectify the same. 25. Leave the same for 24 hours & once again check the tube from both side for leaks. 26. Drain the water to sump & allow the steam space to dry. 27. Close the water boxes doors, 28. Fixing of dummies for cooling water I/L & O/L connections of condenser. 29. Sequential tightening of water boxes doors. 30. Fill water in water boxes and raise pressure up to 1.5 times of maximum working pressure wait for 30 minutes & check fro any leaks from door bolts. 31. Connect I/L & O/L of Cooling water ducting connections so that no load comes on to condenser (Final joints should be free & equal gap of 3-4mm to be maintained before welding of final joint). 32. Full Grouting of condenser.
30. After termination of oil flushing drain the oil from MOT, Oil coolers, Duplex filters, & from Suction & discharge piping. 31. Clean the MOT, over head oil tank, duplex filters free from dust & other metal particles. 32. Fill fresh oil in the tank. 33. Normalize the piping connections to bearings & keep 40 micron mesh at I/L of bearing connection for all bearings. 34. Start the pump and run for 8 hours check the clear mesh.
33. Alignment of exciter rotor to generator rotor. 34. Release for secondary grouting. After completion of secondary grouting all the foundation bolts are once again checked for tightness. Final alignment of TG as per rotor catenary.
