• Solved the turbo-expander high thrust problem , by improving hydrates
control/monitoring ( This turbo expander running speed is 37,000 rpm at minus
86 deg C )
• Solved turbo-expander high oil consumption by simply adjusting seal gas pressure
and drain gas pressure
• Vibration analysis in turbo-expander and pinpointed the poor condition, and could
finish the remedy within 3 days.
• Solved the soft foot problem in oil flood screw compressor which is mounted on top
of the horizontal vessel by applying high strength epoxy, the compressor is still
under operation
• Solved low oil pressure problem in oil flood screw compressor by simple balance of
the duty mode. ( This is propane screw compressor for refrigerant system to cools
the process gas to minus 40 deg C )
• Solved the acoustic problem in oil separator which oil flood screw compressor
mounted on top by maintaining proper oil level in separator.
• Developed condition base maintenance to shaving/adjustment the scheduled
maintenance by 3 to 6 months ahead. Further developed the predictive maintenance
program* by using curve fitting/project as time-series analysis from condition
monitoring.
• Reviewed all spare parts system to keep the spare parts for insurance and
consumable spare parts classifications only. While the spare parts that are required
for regular maintenance can be controlled/planned by condition and prediction
technique. Six months ahead could be predicted for some equipment only. However,
it was a powerful tool to extend the Mean Time Between Maintenance as Risk Base
Maintenance and eliminate over maintenance.

This is too large value to use.
So PEN only refer this value without actually using in this report.

INSTALLATION
INTRODUCTION
Proper installation of the machinery is essential to establishing a long, trouble-free

operating life with minimal maintenance. To aid in achieving a proper installation, this
chapter provides detailed procedures that have proven successful for installing hundreds
of compressors, turbines, and associated equipment. Therefore, it is the method
recommended by Elliott Company. It is recognized that other methods exist which can
provide a satisfactory installation. However, prior to using any alternate method, we
recommend that the user carefully investigate both the method and the ability of his
Y
personnel to perform the work.
N
Recommendations and guidance for the installation of this class of machinery can also be

Elliott Company Service Engineers and Representatives are experienced in all types of
machinery installations and can provide valuable assistance in making both the installation
U
and subsequent commissioning of the equipment a success. The installation methods
T IN
contained in this chapter are as specific as possible but cannot cover all variations in field
conditions. Therefore, the Elliott Company Service Engineer and Representative may
sometimes deviate slightly from these methods to suit a particular, non-typical situation.
Regardless of the procedure used, first class materials and quality workmanship should
N LIM
always be employed.
This chapter provides a detailed discussion of the following topics related to machinery
installation:
1. Foundation

4. Setting the equipment

P
5. Shaft alignment (including “cold” and “hot” checks)
6. Coupling Installation
7. Piping Recommendations
8. Insulation and Jacketing
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
The following general considerations apply to all installations.
Upon arrival of the equipment at site, visually inspect for physical damage or
contamination prior to offloading and document any observed damage with the shipper.

Chapter 2
Installation
Verify that shipping and preservation protection that has been applied is still in good
condition. Correct if any deficiencies are found.
A rigging and lifting plan showing the lifting points and including the load capacities of
spreader bars, slings, cables, shackles, hooks, rings, and so forth should be made for
both offloading crated and uncrated equipment from the shipping transport vehicle and
also for setting the equipment on the foundation.
A plan should be developed that defines the requirements for protecting the equipment
and related components, including special tooling from deterioration while in field storage,
during/after installation, and during the period prior to commissioning. A typical plan would
include a protective maintenance program for all stored and installed equipment until it is
Y
fully commissioned and operational. Particular attention should be given to the proper
N
storage, protection testing and care of equipment or devices such as motors, electronic
ET R
control cabinets and instrumentation.
R
If the equipment is not going installed and commissioned for a considerable period of
R A
time, then a more aggressive inspection schedule to assess the condition of the
preservation and all equipment that has been provided as part of the package needs
U
undertaken. The requirements will vary by the type, amount and complexity of the
T IN
equipment provided and is to include auxiliary equipment including but not solely limited to
motors, pumps, lube system components, instrumentation, control valves, etc…
Additional recommendations and guidance on equipment storage and protection can be

N LIM
found in API 686, “Recommended Practice for Machinery Installation and Installation
Design”
Periodic rotation of equipment is to be done to help prevent rotor bow/sag. Prior to

rotating the shafts, ensure all rotor shipping blocks or brackets on rotating components
have been removed, that there is adequate lubrication to the bearings before rotation and
any desiccant bags or protective plastics are clear of moving parts. To rotate the shaft, use
O E
a tool such as a strap wrench that will not mark machined surfaces. Mark the shaft and
rotate 2-¼ revolutions (810°) weekly. Record this activity in appropriate inspection records.
D R
O
NOTE
Shafts should only be rotated in their normal direction
of rotation so as to not affect components such as seals
P
that are designed for unidirectional rotation.
Heavy weight oil should be used to lubricate the

bearings and shaft journals during any periodic
rotation. The use of grease type or anti-seize type
compounds is not recommended.
While this class of equipment is designed for unprotected outdoor installation, local
conditions may dictate that some type of permanent protection be used, such as a roof,
side walls, or a complete building. Freezing or low ambient temperatures around
machinery can create difficulties during start-up and shutdown; for example, lubricating oil
must be warm before start-up; water and steam equipment must be drained completely or
heated during shutdown. Alternately, in tropical areas, direct sun on one side of the
foundation might cause expansion gradients that could lead to machine alignment
problems.

Chapter 2
Installation
In addition to operating issues, equipment maintenance and inspection will be required –

both scheduled and unscheduled. Regardless of which, weather conditions may not
always cooperate. Rain, snow, wind, and temperature extremes generally extend
maintenance and inspection when workers are exposed directly to the elements. The
quality of workmanship may be lowered to a point where the effort is futile.
Permanent overhead cranes or hoists are recommended. Casing top halves and rotors
have close clearances and moving these parts must be slow and positive. The level of
control required is seldom achievable with crawler or wheel-mounted cranes.
In general, the machinery is installed using one of the following methods:

- soleplates
Y
- non-self-supporting baseplate
N
- self-supporting baseplate
ET R
The functional purpose of all of these methods is to provide permanent, machined
R
surfaces on which to mount the equipment feet. These surfaces provide anchor points for
R A
dowelling the equipment feet to fix the machine’s horizontal position as well as enable the
use of shims for vertical alignment. The difference between soleplates and a non-self-
U
supporting baseplate is related only to the ease of installation. The self-supporting type of
T IN
baseplate is less common than the other methods and is used when the underlying
foundation is not continuous or mounting directly on columns is required. This type of
baseplate must be designed to minimize deflection between contact points.
N LIM
Soleplates usually provide support only for individual machine feet while the baseplate
usually supports all the feet. In most cases, the baseplate supports both the driver and
driven equipment. In some instances, the baseplate may also contain the lubrication and
seal systems as well as other auxiliaries in addition to the machinery. These arrangements
may require less space and have lower installation costs, but are generally more difficult to
maintain.
O E
Baseplates usually reduce the installation time since locating and leveling separate
mounting pads is not required. Additionally, header piping and other machine auxiliaries
D R
can be pre-packaged at the factory and shipped already installed. Therefore, the initial
O
cost of the baseplate may be offset by reduced installation costs.

P
Installation of a self-supporting baseplate on a concrete foundation should follow the

guidelines presented in this chapter for the non-self-supporting type. The outline drawing
will identify which sections require support and which can be left unsupported. If the
baseplate is to be installed on structural steel or columns, special care must be taken to
insure that the mating pads are machined level and flat. Full contact between the surfaces
is essential. Stepped shims should never be used. The specific recommendations are as
follows:
- Flatness of individual pads must be 0.001” per foot (0.080 mm per meter) and pads
must be parallel to each other within 0.010” (0.25 mm).
- The support surfaces are to be level longitudinally and transversely to within 0.002”
per 12.00” (0.16 mm per meter).
With this installation arrangement, grouting is not used to fill in gaps, but other procedures
presented in this chapter should be followed. See Figure 2-1.

FOUNDATION
The principle function of the foundation is to provide a permanently rigid, non-warping
D R
O
support for the machinery. A properly designed foundation will (1) hold machines in
proper alignment under all operating conditions, (2) support the machine's weight and
load, and distribute it uniformly and evenly to the soil or main support structure, (3)
P
maintain established equipment locations and (4) minimize transmission of vibration to or

from the machines.
While the responsibility for the foundation design rests with the purchaser, the following
suggestions are offered for assistance and consideration:
1. The outline drawing provides critical information regarding the equipment mounting
surfaces, anchor bolt location and recommended size, equipment weight and
distribution, location of the main piping connections and other information necessary
for the foundation design.
2. The foundation should be of ample size and proportion to adequately support the
machinery. In addition to the static load, dynamic and transient loads must be
considered as well as loads due to process piping on the equipment nozzles.
2-4 Ch02.2/02/16
Chapter 2
Installation
3. Provision should be made in the foundation design for accessibility to all parts of the
machinery and auxiliaries during operation, inspection and maintenance.
4. The foundation should rest entirely on natural rock or entirely on solid earth. A
foundation resting partly on both may warp due to settling. Distortion may also occur
due to unequal pressures created by differences in ground water level.
5. Foundations supported on pilings should have a rigid continuous cap over the pilings
on which the foundation rests.
6. Temperatures surrounding the foundation should be uniform. For example,

temperature differences between the top slab and mat can create substantial bending
Y
stresses in the columns. Care must be taken to reduce thermal distortion from
N
radiation or uneven heating and cooling. Direct sunlight on outdoor, tropical
ET R
installations is to be avoided. Steam or other hot process lines passing close to the
foundation should be avoided but when unavoidable, the lines should be insulated
R
and the foundation shielded.
R A
7. The foundation should be isolated from all other structures and arranged so that
U
outside vibrations cannot be transmitted to it. Where foundations must be supported
T IN
by floor beams, a vibration dampening material should be interposed between the
beams and the foundation.
8. The design of the foundation structure should avoid natural frequencies in resonance
N LIM
with machine operating speed, 40 to 50% of operating speed, rotor critical speeds
and two times operating speeds.
9. It is recommended that concrete foundations be allowed to cure for approximately 28

days before loading. This will allow for the necessary development of strength and
reduction in shrinkage. Curing procedures should be in accordance with American
Concrete Institute recommendations.
O E
10. The recommended size and projection of the foundation anchor bolts is shown on the
D R
outline drawing. The recommended installation of the anchor bolt is shown in Figure
O
2-2. The use of a pipe sleeve around the anchor bolt is recommended to achieve the
proper bolt tension and permit some shifting of the anchor bolt location, if necessary,
P
during installation of equipment. “Wilson Sleeves” can be used in lieu of pipe.
11. When establishing the top elevation for the foundation, allow approximately 0.5 inch
(12 mm) for removal of the top crust of concrete. Reinforcing rods, ties, or steel
members should be sufficiently below the surface to permit chipping away of
approximately 1.00 inch (25 mm) of concrete without making contact. A minimum
space of 1.00 inch (25 mm) should be provided between the foundation and chock
blocks to provide adequate room for insertion of grout. The maximum distance
between the foundation and soleplate or baseplate should not exceed 4.00 inches
(100 mm).
Figure 2-3 is a cross-sectional view showing the recommended installation of a soleplate

with chock blocks. Figure 2-4 shows the corresponding installation recommended for
baseplates.

Foundation Preparation
When the foundation is constructed of reinforced concrete, it is not practical to pour the
concrete block with the necessary precision to permit setting the machinery directly onto
the block. Therefore, the soleplate or baseplate is set with a void between it and the top
surface of the foundation. After the soleplate or baseplate is positioned, all machinery
installed, and the cold alignment check made, the soleplate or baseplate is cemented or
grouted to the foundation. This procedure essentially creates one continuous support for
the machinery.

In order to obtain good bonding surfaces for the grout, all defective concrete, laitance, dirt,
oil, wax, grease and loose material must be removed from the mating surfaces. This can
best be accomplished by chipping, bush hammering or other suitable means until sound,
clean surfaces are obtained. Removal of approximately 0.5 inch (12 mm) of the top
concrete surface should provide a strong, laitance-free surface for bonding and anchoring
of the grout.

CHOCK BLOCKS
In this manual, the term "chock block" is used to describe steel or grout blocks that serve
to level and support the soleplate or baseplate on the foundation prior to full grouting. The
size of a steel chock block may vary, but the two sizes shown in Figure 2-5 will cover the
majority of installations. Steel chock blocks furnished by Elliott Company will comply with
these dimensions. Blocks obtained from other sources should conform to this pattern. To
provide for ease of installation and leveling, four jackscrews are furnished at the corners of
each block. A screw anchor in the center secures the block to the foundation prior to
grouting.

As an alternate to steel, the blocks can be made from hardened epoxy grout. For epoxy
grout chock blocks, small forms should be positioned at each anchor bolt as
recommended for the steel blocks. The top surface of each form should be level and at
essentially the same elevation as all other forms. The forms should be anchored, coated
with wax and sealed around the bottom. When pouring the grout, the forms should be
completely filled. This will minimize the need for shimming between the chock and
baseplate or soleplate.
2-8 Ch02.2/02/16
Chapter 2
Installation
The use of chock blocks reduces the work required to make a change in elevation at a
soleplate or baseplate support pad. The chock blocks also distribute the machinery weight
and hold down nut force so that deflections of the soleplate or baseplate due to these
forces are minimized. With chock blocks, the soleplate or baseplate can be easily shifted
horizontally without disturbing established elevations.
For maximum effectiveness, two chock blocks should be positioned at each foundation
anchor bolt as shown in Figure 2-6. Machines mounted on baseplates generally have the
foundation anchor bolts spread out and close to only one edge; therefore, placement of
chock blocks can usually be accomplished as shown in Figure 2-6.
Y
For machines mounted on soleplates, the number of foundation anchor bolts increases

while the available surface area decreases, making effective placement of chock blocks

more difficult.

Figure 2-9 illustrates a typical arrangement with chock blocks positioned on either side of
the foundation anchor bolt. As described earlier, the concrete surface must be prepared
by chipping or other means prior to setting the blocks.
To ensure a good bond with the grout, the chock block surfaces must be free of oil, dirt,
and oxidation. If the blocks have been coated with a catalyzed epoxy primer, the surface
coating should not be removed but should be cleaned with solvent to remove any oil or dirt
prior to setting.

TYPICAL CHOCK BLOCK ARRANGEMENT
Blocks showing signs of rust, corrosion, or other surface treatment should be cleaned prior
to setting. Sandblasting works best, but a disk grinder or other mechanical method can be
used. If the blocks will be grouted immediately after setting, no further surface treatment
should be required. If grouting will be delayed, the blocks should be coated with an epoxy
compatible primer or other surface coating recommended by the grout manufacturer.
O E
To set the blocks, determine the chock block anchor screw locations on the foundation
and drill 0.5-inch (12 mm) diameter by 1.00-inch (25 mm) deep holes in the concrete. If the
D R
O
screw anchor shield is other than that shown, use the appropriate drilling. Position the
chock block and engage the screw anchor as shown in Figure 2-9. Level the individual
blocks using the four setscrews provided. All blocks must be level and at approximately
P
the same elevation. It is desirable to maintain all chock block elevations within a few
thousandths of an inch or a few hundredths of a millimeter. The general targets are to
make the level as perfect as possible to provide as much full face contact and load
distribution with baseplate pads or soleplates, and to hold the elevation of all chock blocks
within ± 0.003 in. (± 0.076 mm) to minimize time required for shimming and soft foot
correction. This makes final installation and leveling of the soleplate or baseplate much
easier. On installations where the overall length of the equipment is short, the elevation of
the blocks can best be set by use of a straight edge and precision level. On larger
installations, the use of a precision tilting level or other suitable device is required.
NOTE
Before checking the chock block level and elevation, be
sure the anchor screw is tight and all four leveling
screws are making contact with the foundation.

GROUTING
NOTE
Before grouting soleplates or baseplates, complete the
initial cold or ambient alignment procedure outlined in
the “Shaft Alignment” section. This will assist in
ensuring there are no issues that will prevent final shaft
alignments from being achieved.
The procedure to be followed for grouting of chock blocks, soleplates or baseplates is the
Y
same except for the quantity of grout used. Elliott Company recommends that the grout
be a good quality non-shrink epoxy system from a reliable manufacturer of heavy
N
machinery grouts. Non-shrink epoxy grouts consist of an epoxy resin, hardener, and
ET R
graded silica aggregate. The resin and hardener serve as the adhesive while the
aggregate serves as a filler to reduce cost, improve thermal expansion compatibility, and
R
absorb the heat released by curing. With proper application, an epoxy grout should
R A
provide a permanent, reliable installation. Use of sand-cement grouts or sand-cement
grouts with additives may also provide an adequate installation. However, both are
U
T IN
generally lower in strength, have more tendency to shrink unevenly, and are typically more
susceptible to chemical attack and deterioration by oils.
The manufacturer of the grout selected should be ISO 9001 certified and have at least 15
years of experience in the manufacture of non-shrink grouts to ensure the quality and
N LIM
conformity of the product. The manufacturer of the grout should also have the ability to
offer technical services and provide a representative at the jobsite for product training
prior to product installation upon five days advance notice. Based on the amount of grout
and complexity of the pour, the grout supplier should also be consulted to ensure the most
current and proper methods are used for the pour to ensure the desired results.
O E
While Elliott does not recommend specific product brands of grout, there are general
performance standards to which grout when cured at 73 OF (23 OC) should be selected.
These standards are listed below in Table 2-1. Consultation with the grout manufacturer
D R
O
being used should be done when determining whether the grout selected meets these
standards or whether any deviations are acceptable.
P
The primary purpose of grouting is to (1) fill all voids between the foundation and the
soleplate or baseplate, (2) provide a permanent bond between the foundation and the
soleplate or baseplate, (3) to assist the foundation anchor bolts in preventing lateral
movement, (4) provide a solid, level base to which the machine can be anchored by the
foundation bolts to prevent vertical movement and (5) effectively make the soleplate or
baseplate an integral part of the concrete foundation.
As anchor bolts are designed for hold down purposes, it is desirable to allow for stretching
of the bolt between the bottom of the pipe sleeve and the bottom of the nut. Therefore, it
is recommended that the sleeve be filled with a pliable material such as silicone rubber,
prior to final grouting. . “Wilson Sleeves” can be used in lieu of pipe. These are also
typically filled with a pliable material such as silicone rubber.

Procedures for using epoxy grout differ from those for sand-cement types. The following
general recommendations apply in most cases, but specific details on surface preparation,

Chapter 2
Installation
For outdoor installation, the foundation should be protected from rain since it is important
that the foundation be clean and dry at the time of grouting. Normal grouting temperature
should be between 40° and 90°F (4° and 32°C). Due to the accelerated rate of curing at
high temperatures, shade the foundation from summer sunlight for at least 24 hours before
and 48 hours after grouting. In the hot summer weather, place the grout during the
afternoon so the initial cure will occur during the cooler evening hours. In cold weather,
the grout materials should be stored in a warm place. Low temperatures make the grout
stiff and hard to handle. For best results, ingredients should have an actual temperature
of 70°F (21°C) or higher. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the particular grout
mix being used for allowable working time at various ambient temperatures.
Y
Flow grade epoxy grouts can generally be handled with the same methods and tools that
N
are used with flow grade sand-cement grouts. Mixing can be done in small mortar mixers.
ET R
Use of a purchased grout with all the ingredients accurately measured into convenient
batches reduces the chance of error. The actual placing of the material can be
R
accomplished by several means and should only be done by experienced contractors or
R A
personnel. The material is very viscous; however, it will flow and seek its own level given
time and an ambient temperature within a certain range. Generally, it is best to start at
U
one end of the baseplate and work toward the other end, forcing the air out to eliminate
T IN
voids as the material moves along. Plywood strips, sheet metal strips, wires and rods can
be used to flow the grout completely under the soleplate or baseplate.
The forms should be left in place until the grout is hard enough throughout that it cannot
N LIM
flow. This usually occurs overnight but can take longer in cold weather.
Once the grout has cured and the forms have been removed, the grout should be sounded
for voids. All voids should be located and filled. Typically this is accomplished by drilling
two holes in opposite corners of the void, pumping in grout through one hole and allowing
it to vent out of the other hole. Good practice is to use a dial indicator to monitor any
movement of the chock block, sole plate or baseplate when the void is being filled.
O E
Recheck and repeat the filling process until all voids have been filled.
D R
After all grouting operations have been completed and the grout cured, all soleplate and
O
baseplate hold down bolts can be torqued to their final value which generally is to achieve
30,000 psi bolt stress. The amount of bolt torque to achieve the required bolt stress is
P
dependent on the thread lubricant used. Ensure that the torque selected to achieve the
desired bolt stress is based on the thread lubricant being used.
A perimeter pour is sometimes done to lock the baseplate into its leveled position and to
seal the outer perimeter in preparation for a secondary pour. A secondary pour is one
where the baseplate is filled to not only add mass, but to interlock all structural members
and prevent the accumulation of water, oil or other liquids in the voids created by the
baseplate. This pour is usually to a level that is 2 in. from the top of the baseplate decking,
but may also be completely filled if required by the user.
Typically the internal voids of the baseplate can be filled with cement, but an epoxy grout
may be used if required by the user. An all epoxy filled baseplate may require several
pours so as to not exceed the grout manufacturer’s maximum pour thickness based on
factors that are specific to the grout such as flowability, and heat generation during cure.
Elliott recommends consultation with the grout manufacturer when filling the baseplate.

Chapter 2
Installation
SETTING THE EQUIPMENT ON THE FOUNDATION
Once the chock blocks are installed, leveled, and the grout has cured sufficiently to
withstand the static load, the installation of the equipment on the foundation may proceed.
If the soleplates or baseplates have been coated with a catalyzed primer for use with
epoxy grout, the coating should be left intact and only the oil and dirt removed with
solvent. The user should consult with the grout supplier to ensure the grout being used is
compatible and will adhere to any primer or coating that has already been applied. If the
surfaces that will come in contact with the grout are coated with some other material or
Y
show signs of rust, they should be sandblasted. While sandblasting is best, a disk grinder
or some other mechanical method can be used. The cleaned surface should be coated
N
with epoxy primer or surface coating recommended by the grout supplier.
ET R
Prior to placing the soleplate or baseplate on the chock blocks, clean the contact surfaces
R
and install approximately 0.125 inch (3.0 mm) thick shim pack having an assortment of
R A
shim thicknesses on each chock block. The shims should be full size, clean, smooth and
rust free. This will provide a means of lowering any portion of the machine or baseplate
U
that requires adjustment during leveling.
T IN
Set the baseplate or soleplates on the shimmed chock blocks and tighten down all the
foundation bolts to approximately 10% of their final torque value. Baseplates and soleplate
should be checked for “soft foot” by loosening each foundation bolt in turn while measuring
N LIM
the movement between the base and the chock block at that bolt location. If any measured
movement exceeds 0.002” (0.05mm), shim as needed to eliminate the “soft foot” before
proceeding. Check the level of the baseplate or soleplate using the mounting surfaces for
the machinery feet. Make any necessary adjustments by adding or removing shims.
Normally, it is best to start at the middle and work towards the ends. The specific
recommendation is that the machinery mounting surfaces, whether baseplate or soleplate,
shall be level within 0.002” per foot (0.16 mm per meter). Acceptable methods for verifying
O E
surface level include Optics and Laser systems.

D R
Before mounting the equipment on the soleplates or baseplate, place a 0.125-inch (3.0
O
mm) thick stainless steel shim pack having an assortment of shim thicknesses on each
machine foot support. If not supplied by Elliott Company, the shims should be full size
P
covering the entire face of the machine foot.
NOTE
Shims and contact surfaces should be kept smooth,
free of burrs and clean to prevent erroneous alignment
readings.
As the lifting and setting of the equipment is generally performed with rigging and lifting
hardware supplied by the installing contractor, it is recommended that prior to the lift, a
proper lift plan be completed by personnel qualified and competent in performing such
work. In addition it is recommended that a pre-lift meeting be conducted to review all
aspects of the lift with personnel who will be involved with it.
All rigging that is used should not impose a strain or load on the equipment or baseplate to
damage or twist it. Rigging should only bear on the intended lift points and should not
transmit any loads onto auxiliary piping, instruments, conduit, etc…

Ensure all bearing housing joints and connections are properly sealed when the bearing
housing are final assembled prior to operation to prevent oil leaks.
The "cold alignment" method to use is dependent on the distance between the coupling
hubs. Two methods recommended by Elliott Company are presented in the discussion
that follows. For greatest accuracy, these methods should be used whenever possible.
Initial cold alignment should be obtained prior to grouting in the soleplates or baseplate. In
order to provide maximum flexibility and minimum confusion, cold alignment should be
completed with all piping disconnected from the machinery. It is important that the axial
separation between shaft ends, as indicated on the outline drawing, be maintained during
all alignment work. The coupling spacers are designed specifically for that separation
Y
dimension.
N
SHAFT ALIGNMENT
ET R
The driver and driven equipment are normally connected by flexible couplings. Flexible
R
couplings are used to accommodate misalignment between the connected shafts due to
R A
startup, shutdown, process or load changes, temperature excursions, etc... The most
common coupling types used for high-speed, high-performance rotating equipment are the
U
gear, disk pack and diaphragm types.
T IN
All flexible couplings have misalignment limits within which they can operate continuously
without failure or undue wear. Minimizing the misalignment during normal operation
reduces stress and/or wear in the flexible element, improves the ability of the coupling to
N LIM
handle wider operational excursions and extends the life of the coupling.
Additionally, the coupling elements resist flexing caused by misalignment and the
resistance forces must be absorbed by the bearings of the connected shafts. Experience
indicates that excessive vibration, high or unusual bearing and seal wear can all result
from improper shaft alignment. In extreme cases, poor alignment can precipitate a
coupling, bearing or shaft failure. For extended equipment life and trouble-free operation,
O E
good shaft alignment procedures are essential and cannot be over-emphasized.

D R
An understanding of shaft alignment techniques must begin with a few basic definitions.
O
"Cold or Ambient Alignment" is the procedure that involves positioning the frames or
P
casings of the machines in an equipment train while at standstill and ambient temperature
to compensate for thermal growth and material deflection that will occur between ambient
and stabilized operating temperatures. Cold alignment is normally accomplished using
Laser shaft alignment systems or dial indicators. The goal is to have the connected shafts
level and co-linear in operation. The incremental movement, or growth, of the different
machines used to establish the cold alignment settings may be calculated by the
machinery manufacturer, estimated by the installation supervisor or taken from actual
measurements made during hot alignment runs. The growths calculated by the machinery
manufacturer are usually shown on the outline or cold alignment drawing and can be used
as a starting point. However, the actual growths measured during the hot alignment runs,
discussed later in this chapter, should always be used to determine the final settings.
Cold alignment settings must account for shaft position changes in all three directions;
axial (axial distance between shaft ends), lateral (side to side) and vertical.
2-18 Ch02.2/02/16
Chapter 2
Installation
The axial position of the shaft end is set by the machine thrust bearing. Machines without
thrust bearings, such as motors, require couplings with a limited end float feature to control
axial movement of the motor shaft. The axial growth of adjacent shaft ends is
compensated by pre-stretching (or pre-compressing) the coupling spacer at installation
such that the flexible elements will be in a neutral position at operating conditions. The
coupling spacer is specifically designed for this change in shaft gap and it is important to
maintain the cold dimension during all cold alignment work. The general arrangement
drawing of the coupling will include the necessary information.
Elliott Company standard design for turbines and compressors is to fix the vertical
centerline of the machine case to the foundation using a centering key. This eliminates
Y
any lateral movement of the shaft center from ambient to operating temperature such that
cold offset of adjacent machines in this direction is not required. Machines without fixed
N
centerlines, especially gears, can have a significant change in the shaft lateral position
ET R
that must be accounted for in the cold alignment setting.
R
R A
NOTE
Do not final set and dowel the equipment support feet or
U
centering key positions until all major piping
T IN connections have been checked for proper gap and
parallelism, the connections have been fully made up
and torqued while monitoring for strain and the final
cold alignment has been verified as not having changed
N LIM
or after an operating temperature alignment check and

final adjustments made.
NOTE
Upon completion of all piping and alignment checks, set
and adjust any equipment hold down bolt sleeve to
O E
washer clearances.
Vertical growth of the shaft center can be calculated by the following formula, where L
D R
(length) is generally taken as the vertical distance from the centerline to the mounting pad
O
for the machine support foot and T is the difference between operating and ambient
temperature for the support. The thermal expansion coefficient (0.0000067 in/in-oF) is
P
typical for steel. (For temperature change in degrees Celsius, use 0.000012 for the
coefficient)
 L (change in length - inch) = L (length - inch) x 0.0000067 x  T (change in temp. °F)
 L (change in length - inch) = L (length – inch) x 0.000012 x  T (change in temp. °C)
NOTE:  L and L in same units.
Normally, the vertical movement is minimized by use of a bolted joint where the support
attaches to the casing. Since the support is not in direct contact to the casing the accuracy
of the calculation depends on the temperature assumed for the support. Typically, the
average of casing operating and ambient can be used. A good "hot shaft alignment" will
either verify the calculation or provide alternate values to use.
Ch02. 2/02/16 2-19

Chapter 2
Installation
"Hot Shaft Alignment", also known as operating shaft alignment or service alignment, is
a procedure for monitoring the change in shaft position from cold or ambient conditions to
normal operating conditions. Knowing the "cold shaft alignment" and measuring the
change provides a method for determining the operating position of the shafts. This
method is indirect, but if properly done, provides the most reliable and acceptable method
available.
"Collinear Alignment". Refer to Figure 2-10. The two machine shaft ends are
considered to be "collinear aligned" when the two shaft ends rotate about the same
straight line (no misalignment). All machinery shafts have some deflection; therefore, this
reference is limited to the center of rotation of one shaft end relative to the opposite shaft
Y
end. Each coupling must be analyzed individually.

Usually, the critical dimension is a coupling hub flange face dimension as shown in Figure
P
2-14. On most applications, this will coincide with the end of the shaft. Always refer to the
coupling drawing and vendor instructions for the specific dimensions.
The normal thrust position is with the rotor against the active thrust bearing. For
compressors, the normal thrust position of the rotor is usually away from the driver, so that
the load on the removable thrust disk is carried by a shaft shoulder instead of the locknut.
If in doubt, refer to the Compressor Assembly drawing which identifies the active and
inactive thrust bearings. To ascertain the normal thrust position for rotors of non-Elliott
Company machines, refer to the vendor’s literature located in Chapter 8, Accessories.

Installation
Regardless of the procedure used, preparation and use of a "Shaft alignment map" is
always recommended. A typical shaft alignment map is shown in Figure 2-15. The map
provides a convenient form on which to record indicator readings and calculate equipment
moves. Maintaining this information for comparison during maintenance inspections or for
reference during troubleshooting can provide a valuable diagnostic tool. A blank form for
your use is provided after Figure 2-15.
In addition to providing important machine identification information, date and the shaft
measurement method used, the shaft alignment map includes both plan (top) and vertical
(side) elevation sketches of the machine shafts, complete with all the important reference
points identified. The horizontal or abscissa coordinate should be scaled using some
convenient scale such as 1.00 or 2.00 inches per division (25 or 50 millimeters per
Y
division) to clearly cover the length of the entire equipment train. All support feet and
coupling faces should be located. When more than two machines are involved, a larger
N
map or graph may be advantageous. The vertical or ordinate coordinate should be an
ET R
expanded scale such as 1 mil (0.02 millimeters) per division in order to clearly identify the
misalignment dimensions. Mark the North compass direction in the plan view and the
R
corresponding compass directions in the indicator reading circles to avoid confusion while
R A
taking measurements.
U
When making shaft alignment corrections, it is usually advantageous to hold one machine
T IN
in a fixed position and align the other machine, or machines, to it. Some guidelines to
determine which machine to hold stationary are as follows.
1. If the equipment consists of a turbine and single compressor body, it is preferred to fix
N LIM
and level the turbine to the foundation or baseplate and move the compressor into
alignment with it.
2. If a gear is present, it is preferred to level and square the gear to the foundation or
baseplate and move the other machinery into alignment with it.
3. If the string consists of three or more pieces of equipment, level the machine nearest
O E
the center, square it to the foundation or baseplate, and move the other machinery
into alignment with the selected machine.
D R
O
4. If a hot gas expander is present, securely attach the expander bearing pedestal to its
baseplate. Shims are not permitted under the bearing pedestal. Square the bearing
pedestal and baseplate to the foundation, and move the other machinery into
P
alignment with the hot gas expander.
The solid, dark, heavy lines on the shaft alignment map represent the desired hot shaft
position; i.e., collinear alignment. Plot the calculated or known thermal expansion or
contraction changes for each support foot on the map. Connect the points plotted for each
machine with a dashed line.
Use the dashed line as the desired "cold alignment setting". Read off the differences
between the two dashed lines in the vertical plane and record the values in the circles for
“desired cold reading”. The plan or horizontal position usually remains unchanged from
the ambient (cold) reading. However, if the system has a gear, the gear case is usually
doweled or keyed under the pinion and allowed to expand toward the bull gear shaft, thus
requiring alignment allowances in the plan view at the bull gear or low speed shaft end.

5. Mount a dial indicator so that the indicator button rides near the center of rotation. Rotate
the shaft on which the indicator button rests to check the axial wobble. If unable to
maintain axial wobble to less than 0.001 inch (.025 mm) on either shaft, the use of two face
indicators 180° apart, or multiple measurements, is recommended.
NOTE
Axial shaft movement during face measurements can cause
false readings. Two dial indicators mounted 180° apart
should be used when axial shaft position cannot be easily
controlled. When using this setup, set the dial indicators at
0° and 180° positions and zero both indicators. The indicator
at the 0° position should be tagged as prime. At each
Y
interval, subtract the second dial indicator's reading from the

prime reading. Divide this result by two and record the result

Note 3 or 4.

previously determined in Step 7 above.
12. In each view, draw a straight line through the points located in Steps 10 and 11 with a line
extended to intersect both supports of the machine to be moved. Read off the distance
between the line just completed and the desired cold shaft position (dashed line) at each
support for the machine to be moved. This measurement represents the movement
necessary to obtain the correct cold alignment.

approximately 0.25 mil per inch (0.25 mm per m) at the coupling gear teeth or flex
U
elements. This angular displacement is not a limit, but a suggested alignment goal. Refer
T IN
to the coupling drawing or vendor literature for more information on maximum allowable
misalignment.
Reverse Indicator Method of Shaft Alignment

N LIM
Use the reverse indicator method of shaft alignment when the distance between two adjacent
shafts ends is greater than one half the coupling diameter. The reverse indicator method of shaft
alignment eliminates the need for taking face readings.
NOTE
For alignment purposes, the effective distance between shaft
ends can be increased by spanning the shaft end to obtain a
O E
dial indicator location inboard of actual shaft ends. The key

factor is to spread two indicators as far apart as practical with
negligible bracket sag. (As spread increases, so does the
D R
O
possibility for bracket sag.)
1. The reverse indicator method involves taking readings from one shaft to the rim surface on
P
the hub of the adjoining shaft and vice versa as shown in Figure 2-21.

3. Mark both coupling hubs at four locations 90° apart so that their position can easily be seen

4. All piping strain must be removed from the machine. For initial alignment work during
installation, all piping should be left unconnected. After the cold alignment positions have

foundation and the machine case such that any movement of the machine can be detected.
Connect one process line at a time to the machine casing and observe the indicator

5. The bracket should be sturdily constructed to minimize shifting and sag during use. When
spanning the coupling gap with an indicator rig or bracket, zero sag is impractical to
achieve. Therefore, the actual amount of sag should be determined and recorded on the
alignment map.
NOTE
For purposes of this explanation, the fixed machine is called
shaft "A". The shaft of machine to be aligned to shaft "A" will
be called shaft "B".
6. Attach the indicator bracket to shaft "A".

7. Attach the dial indicator to the bracket so that the button will rest on the outer rim of
coupling hub "B". The indicator button should contact in about 0.25 inch (6 mm) from the
hub face.
8. Position the dial indicator at top dead center, in line with 0 marking on coupling "B" and
zero the indicator.
9. Rotate both shafts together and record the dial readings on the alignment map at 90°, 180°

Repeat this step several times to be sure no mistake has been made or that something has
not moved.

10. The accuracy of the readings may be verified by algebraically adding the side readings and

obtain indicator readings from shaft "B" to the rim of coupling hub "A".

offset (Vo) and the horizontal or plan view offset (Ho). Plot these results in the proper view

the alignment map can assist in determining which shaft is below the other. When making
this determination, it is sometimes helpful to locate the projected centerline of the shaft end
to be moved at the shaft end of the fixed machine.

After the cold alignment has been made, the soleplates or baseplates can be grouted. Refer to
the previous section in this chapter.

Chapter 2
Installation
After final alignment, the coupling guard can be final installed. Depending on the scope of
supply, coupling guards may either be shipped loose or installed on the equipment at the time of
shipment. Because coupling guards generally require removal to perform shaft alignment, when
shipped installed, no sealant is applied to permit ease of coupling guard removal. After final
alignment and assembly of the coupling guard, ensure sealant is applied to the all vertical and
horizontal bolted joints of the coupling guard to prevent oil leaks from occurring in operation.
Always ensure both the lower and upper half guards are removed so that they may be properly
re-sealed as an assembly upon completion and final acceptance of shaft alignment.
Operating Temperature Alignment Check
Y
An operating temperature alignment check should be made after the machines have operated
for several hours and stable operating temperatures have been reached. This check will indicate
N
any final adjustments necessary to achieve collinear alignment under operating conditions.
ET R
The purpose of the operating temperature alignment check is to measure the actual movement
R
of the machinery to confirm the cold alignment settings, or otherwise determine alternate values.
R A
Since it is not possible to measure the position of the shaft ends using the cold alignment
U
methods described above while the machines are in operation, the operating temperature
T IN
alignment measurements are made between external reference points on the machine bearing
cases and fixed points on the baseplate or foundation. This assumes that the machine casing
and bearing housing expand uniformly in a radial direction from the shaft center of rotation, and
maintain this relationship regardless of the casing temperature. This assumption is based on the
N LIM
fact that compressors and turbines are nearly symmetrical about their shaft centerline. Using this
assumption, one of the following methods should be used to make an operating temperature
alignment check.
The “calculated operating temperature alignment” method consists of conducting a survey of the
actual average temperature of the equipment supports. This information, along with the height of
the support, and the support material expansion coefficient can be used to calculate the vertical
O E
support growth, or the shaft centerline movement. The calculated cold alignment values can
then be compared to the calculated “operating temperature” values to determine the change in
alignment.
D R
O
The "mechanical operating temperature alignment" method uses accurate measurements

between fixed reference points on the foundation or base and the machinery bearing housings
P
to determine shaft movement between ambient and normal operating conditions. This method
assumes that the fixed reference points on the foundation or base do not move between cold
alignment conditions and machinery operation. In general, this is a good assumption provided
one side or area of the foundation is not exposed to direct sun when the other is not.
Unprotected operating temperature steam and process lines passing in close proximity to the
foundation can also contribute to uncertainty in incremental movements.
This method eliminates the need for alignment brackets or bars by using permanent reference
points (called benchmarks) that are fixed directly to the foundation and bearing housing as
shown in Figure 2-22. All four reference points should lie in the same plane perpendicular to the
centerline of the machine shaft. Similar reference points should be established at each of the
bearing housings in the train.
Ch02.2/02/16 2-33
Chapter 2
Installation
The suggested benchmarks to be used with this technique are 0.5-inch (12.7 mm) diameter
precision balls (Elliott Company part number P255B062). Because these benchmarks become
an integral part of the installation, and the accuracy of alignment records over the long term are
dependent upon these references, the balls should be solidly mounted and made of stainless
steel. It is also recommended that the benchmarks be protected with covers when not in use.

Following cold alignment of the equipment train, reference dimensions A and B and angles 
D R
O
and ϕ are determined at each bearing housing and recorded. When taking these
measurements, the lubrication system should be operating and oil supply temperature near
design to minimize the effect of bearing housing growth.
P
After the machine is brought to normal operating conditions and stabilized, dimensions A' and B'
are measured at each location. With these two sets of data, the vertical and horizontal
movement of each bearing housing in the train can be determined relative to the foundation.
Refer to figure 2-23. Using common grid paper (5 x 5 grid is usually a convenient size), lay out
reference vectors A and B at angles  and ϕ having these vectors cross at one of the grid
intersections. The intersection of these vectors represents the centerline of the machine shaft in
the cold position. Now refer to the cold and operating temperature measurements previously
made (A, A', B, and B') and determine the movement of the bearing housing along vectors A and
B by taking the differences between cold and operating temperature measurements (  A and 
B) for each location. Lay out the movements along vectors A and B using any convenient scale,
say 0.25 inch equals 0.001 inch (2 mm equals 0.01 mm), to establish points a and b.

the operating temperature shaft centerline position. To determine the position change in the

vertical and horizontal directions, it is only necessary to scale off the dimensions referred to as 
H and  V, using the same scale as used in plotting  A and  B.
A similar plot for the data taken at each bearing housing can be compared to the alignment map
N LIM
information for validity of the original estimates. Where differences exist, corrections should be
made to the original alignment map estimates and the machinery realigned using the operating
temperature alignment data. Normally, the operating temperature alignment readings will vary
with changes in the machine operating conditions. The central values about which the readings
gather indicate the desired operating alignment.
O E
With the permanent benchmarks installed and the desired cold alignment reference dimensions
on record, the machine settings can be easily checked and reset, if necessary, during
maintenance shutdowns.
D R
O
Other methods are available for making a operating temperature alignment check, such as
optical and Laser alignment systems. An operating temperature alignment check with optical
P
equipment measures the movement of reference points (generally tooling balls mounted on the
bearing housing) by the use of optics. When using this method, great care should be exercised
as the line of sight between the measuring instrument and the reference point can be bent by
temperature gradients or air currents. Instrument stands and their supports are also subject to
vibration and distortions that can influence the accuracy of the data obtained. In general, it is
recommended that measurements be double-checked by taking measurements from both sides
of the machines and comparing results. Any lack of correlation should be resolved.
The Laser method consists of mounting targets, or receivers, at various locations on the
machine close to the shaft centerline, and referencing these locations to a fixed point. The
relative movement of the equipment centerlines in the vertical and horizontal directions can then
be tracked from cold to operating conditions.
Regardless of the method used, great care should be exercised to design the pedestals and the
mounting methods such that temperature distortions are minimized.

If an operating temperature alignment check is not going to be done, the dowels for equipment
support feet and centering keys and should be installed after final alignment, the major piping
connections have been checked for proper gap and parallelism; the connections have been fully
Y
made up and torqued while monitoring for strain and the final cold alignment has been verified
N
as not having changed.
ET R
Any method used for either cold or operating temperature alignment measurements must be
R
evaluated for the accuracy of the information obtained. Temperature variations, air currents and
R A
other transient conditions can cause significant changes in support temperatures between cold
alignment and operating conditions. Expansions, contractions and heat flow are seldom linear.
U
This can and does contribute to introducing errors if care is not exercised in analyzing the
T IN
results. Before dowelling any machine into final position, review the setup used and the data
obtained to ensure the final equipment setting is correct.
COUPLING INSTALLATION
N LIM
The type of coupling used with the machinery train is generally determined by the user’s
specification, preference or as required to meet certain operating conditions. In addition to the
coupling type, other details, such as straight or tapered bore, keyed or hydraulic fit, are usually
specified by the end user. Because of the number of possible variations, the coupling
manufacturer’s instructions should always be thoroughly reviewed.
O E
Installing a Straight Bore Coupling

1. Clean and de-burr the coupling hub and shaft end.
D R
O
2. Place the coupling sleeve (if applicable) on the equipment shaft with the bolting flange
positioned toward the adjacent machine.
P
3. Check the key fit in the coupling hub and the shaft keyways. The key must have a side
clearance of .001 inch to .003 inch (0.03 mm to 0.07 mm) between the key and coupling
keyway. The fit between the key and shaft keyway must be .000 inch to .002 inch (0.0 mm
to 0.05 mm) interference. The key must have .005 inch to .013-inch (0.13 mm to 0.33 mm)
top clearance in the coupling keyway. If necessary, hand fit the key to obtain the proper fit.
Hand fitting of keys should be done on a surface grinder such that no more than 0.0005
inch (0.013 mm) is removed at a time until the key is properly fitted.
All keyway edges are to be chamfered.
4. After the key has been fit to provide the proper clearances, insert it in the shaft keyway.
5. Apply a light coat of anti-galling lubricant on the mounting surface of the shaft.

TURBINE PIPING RECOMMENDATIONS
No part of the turbine installation is more important for successful operation than well designed
and properly installed piping. There are two definite objectives of the piping arrangement:
1. To prevent excessive piping loads on the turbine casing from affecting either the internal
or external alignment of the machine.
2. To ensure that only clean, dry steam is supplied to the turbine and that any possibility to
accumulate water in either the inlet or discharge lines is eliminated.
Y
N
A block valve should be installed in the supply piping, at a convenient location between the
ET R
steam header and the casing, to allow for isolating the turbine without shutting down the boiler
system. For backpressure turbines, a similar block valve should be installed in the exhaust
R
piping between the header and turbine casing. For extraction turbines, non-return valves should
R A
be installed in the extraction line to prevent low pressure steam from flowing back into the
turbine on shutdown. To minimize the amount of live steam trapped in the extraction line, the
U
non-return valve must be located as close to the turbine nozzle as possible.
T IN
The turbine casing must be protected from excessive piping loads due to dead weight and
expansion. The weight should be carried by suitable pipe supports or hangers. Expansion joints
with limit rods or piping bends should be located as close to the turbine as possible to minimize
N LIM
loads caused by thermal expansion. Elliott turbine casings are designed to withstand the
maximum allowable nozzle forces and moments specified in the NEMA standard. A thorough
analysis of the actual piping arrangement should be made to ensure that these limits are not
exceeded.
The connection between the piping and turbine flange should be made without having to force
the pipe line in any direction to install the bolts or studs at the joint. Pipe flange bolt holes should
O E
be in line with turbine flange bolt holes, and the flanges should be parallel to within the following
guidelines:
D R
O
 0.010 in./in. of flange outside diameter, not to exceed 0.030 in.

 For piping smaller than NPS 10, 0.010 in. or less.
P
The connection may be considered satisfactory if the pipe line, when heated to operating
temperature, does not shift out of line with the turbine flange when the bolting is withdrawn.
Prior to connecting any pipe to the turbine case, mount at least two indicators from the turbine
coupling hub to the hub of the driven machine. One indicator should be located to measure any
vertical movement and the other should be located to measure any horizontal movement.
Connect each pipeline in turn while continuously monitoring the indicators for any turbine
movement. If any movement exceeding 0.002" (0.05 mm) is observed, the pipe load is
considered excessive. The problem must be investigated and corrected before putting the
turbine into operation.
2-40 Ch02.2/02/16
Chapter 2
Installation
TURBINE STEAM SUPPLY
The steam supply must be free from moisture at all times. A receiver type separator with ample
drains should be provided ahead of the stop valve to prevent slugs of water from entering the
turbine. When a separator is not provided, a blow off valve or continuous drain should be
connected to the lowest point of the steam inlet piping.
A strainer should be installed in the steam supply piping for protection against large particles of
scale, welding beads, etc. A strainer does not guard against abrasive matter, boiler compounds,
Y
or acid or alkaline substances, which may be carried over in the steam. These substances will
corrode, erode, or form deposits on the internal steam path parts, reducing turbine efficiency
N
and power. It is imperative that feed water treatment and boiler operation be carefully controlled
ET R
to insure a supply of clean steam at all times.
R
It should be noted that the trip and throttle valve normally supplied with an Elliott turbine
R A
contains an internal strainer to protect the valve internals from damage due to foreign material in
the steam supply line. In addition to the permanent strainer, the valve can be supplied with a
U
second temporary startup strainer. The temporary strainer should be removed after
T IN
approximately one month operation and must never be left in longer than six months. Refer to
the valve vendor’s literature for additional details.
N LIM
NOTE
Trip and throttle valve strainers should be considered as only a
contingency and must not preclude performing a proper blow down
of the main steam supply line.
SEALING STEAM AND LEAKOFF PACKAGES

O E
If supplied, sealing steam and leakoff packages or components should be installed within 35
feet (11 meters) horizontally and within 10 feet (3 meters) vertically of the turbine. Any
D R
deviations must be approved by Elliott.

O
All sealing steam and leakoff lines must have adequate slope and drain points to prevent the
P
build-up of condensate at a low point.
STEAM LINE BLOW DOWN
All new steam piping between the turbine and boiler or existing header must be adequately
blown down to remove welding beads, scale, dirt, broken backing rings, weld rod, etc. This
includes all steam lines that can import steam into the turbine including but not limited to:
- Main Steam
- Induction/Extraction Steam
- Gland Sealing Steam
Ch02.2/02/16 2-41
Chapter 2
Installation
The implementation of the proper blow down procedure is the responsibility of the installation
contractor. Elliott’s involvement is normally limited to witness and verification that placement
targets are acceptable before connecting the supply line to the turbine.
Since the steam lines cannot be connected to the casing during blow down, temporary piping is
required. The temporary piping must be rated for the steam conditions for the test, be
adequately secured, and must discharge into an area that is properly secured and marked off
for personnel protection.
In broad terms, blowing down the steam lines is a process that uses a cycle of heating and
cooling to break free any loose material in the line. Pressure is built up in the boiler and a valve
Y
is opened to release this pressure though the steam lines. By the time the pressure is built up
N
again in the boiler, the piping has usually cooled. This forms the heating and cooling cycle. The
ET R
number of cycles required to achieve the necessary cleanliness will depend on the attention that
was given to cleanliness during erection, the design of the plant piping system, and the design
R
of the blow down system used.
R A
The temporary blow down piping setup and size are very important. The force on a particle is
U
proportional to the mass velocity head of the fluid; therefore the mass velocity head developed
T IN
during the blowing cycle must be at least equal to that developed during full load operation. The
temporary piping should not have a greater flow area than the permanent piping, so that
equivalent velocities can be achieved.
N LIM
It is not possible to predetermine how many steam blows will be required to properly clean the
system since too many variables are involved. Experience has shown that up to fifty total blows
may be required for the main steam line and ten to twenty for the secondary lines. Normally the
blow down cycle will require one to three hours. The actual steam flow through the pipe should
be about fifteen to twenty minutes in duration and the piping should be allowed to cool for at
least two hours if insulated and one hour if not insulated.
O E
Verification of the blow down is made by installing polished targets directly in the steam flow to
determine the quantity of loose material in the line by the impingement pattern on the target
D R
face. The targets are usually made from mild steel bar, or key stock, with a ground finish on
O
each side. Each target can be used four times by turning the target in ninety-degree increments.
P
Polished targets should be installed after approximately ten blows on the main steam line. At
this point the targets should indicate the approximate relative cleanliness of the system. After
two successive blows with no pitting observed on the targets, the blow down can be considered
complete. Retain these targets for reference. Discoloration of the targets is normal. After
successful completion of the blow down procedure, remove the temporary piping, reinstall any
piping removed for the blow down, make up the connection to the turbine inlet nozzle, and test
the system for leaks and piping strain.
TURBINE ATMOSPHERIC RELIEF VALVES
Over-pressure protection should be considered a major part of any good safety program. Relief
valves must be installed to protect the turbine and the piping systems.

VACUUM BREAKERS
Condensing steam turbines should be provided with a method for breaking vacuum or restoring
turbine exhaust pressure to atmospheric pressure. Vacuum should be broken by allowing air
into the condenser shell or into the exhaust piping downstream of the turbine.
NOTE
Vacuum MUST NOT be broken by allowing air to enter the turbine
Y
through casing drains, leakoffs, or sealing steam piping. This can
N
result in distortion and temporary bowing of the turbine rotor.
ET R
R
The vacuum breaker may be as simple as a hand-operated valve that is opened when the
R A
turbine is shut down or it may be an automatic valve tied to the trip system. Breaking the
vacuum serves two purposes. On applications where the driven equipment produces no load
U
during coast down, breaking vacuum will decelerate the equipment more quickly. Secondly,
T IN
breaking vacuum also prevents cold air from being drawn in along the shaft when sealing steam
is turned off.
CONNECTING TURBINE TO A CONDENSER

N LIM
A condenser connected directly to the turbine exhaust flange, when not suspended from the
flange or spring-supported, must have an expansion joint to provide the necessary flexibility for
expansion unless otherwise approved by Elliott Company. When the condenser is spring-
supported or hung from the turbine exhaust flange, no expansion joint need be used, provided
the maximum condenser weight under any condition is within the allowable weight that the
exhaust end is designed to support. In the latter case, the condenser load on the exhaust flange
O E
must be central. Provisions must be made in the supports for lateral expansion. All other piping
connections to the condenser must be provided with suitable expansion joints.
D R
O
CASING AND DRAINS

P
All casing and piping drains must be piped independently of one another to prevent flow from
one drain at a higher pressure flowing into another drain at a lower pressure.
Steam piping connected to the turbine, including inlet, exhaust, sealing steam, leakoff, etc.,
must be provided with adequate valved drains to allow draining the piping of condensate before
starting and after shutting down.
TURBINE INSULATION
Insulating a turbine greatly reduces heat loss and sound pressure levels, isolates hot turbine
parts from personnel, and protects the turbine from the environment. Insulate the high-
temperature areas of the turbine surface indicated on appropriate drawings. For condensing
turbines, these parts are the steam end casing, intermediate casing (when used), trip and
throttle valve, and steam chest. For non-condensing turbines, insulate the exhaust end casing
also.
