3. Nature of Event : BFP-2C mechanical seal outlet temp. checking. (Non Tripping Event)
4. Observations:

BFP-2C was started to check mech. seal outlet temp rise. After 15-20 mins mech.
seal outlet temp attain 1350C-1400C from its initial temp of 750C.

5. Analysis
In view of above remarks, it is not feasible to keep BFP-2C on Auto S/B.
6. Works carried out by maintenance section
During trial run mech. seal cooler inlet & outlet temp were measured with laser temp gun. There
is difference of around 500C. Seal inlet temp is observed 75 0C to 800C. It can work as emergency
auto standby till further check is carried out within a temp limit of 1600C.
