3. OPERATION 3-1A. STARTING UP (K, KM type) Before starting, the following valves are to be closed. Inlet and outlet valves for jacket cooling water of heat exchanger Vacuum breaker valve Outlet valve for distillate pump Feed water inlet valve for heat exchanger Bottom blow valve y 2 3) 4) 3) 6) 7” Open the outlet and inlet valves of condenser cooling water and lead cooling water into the condenser. Start the ejector pump and then open the pump outlet valve and the overboard discharge valve. Open the feed water valve and lead sea water into the heat exchanger. Feed water quantity can be seen by the readings of the compound gauge in front of the feed watr orifice. Control feed water quantity within range of green belt shown in the compound gauge. When the vacuum in the generator become about 70 cmHig, open the inlet and outlet valves for jacket cooling water of the heat exchanger. The outlet valve for jacket cooling water is to be opened slowly lest the heat exchanger should be overheated suddenly. The air vent cock at the upper part of the heat exchanger shell should be ‘opened whenever jacket cooling water passes through the heat exchanger and should be closed after confirming that the air in the shell is completely discharged. Work the salinity alarm in order to check purity of the fresh water. When the distillated fresh water comes up to the sight glass of the suction pipe of distillate pump, start the distillate pump and regulate the water quantity by the outlet valve of the pump. If there is not abnormality on the discharge Pressure of distillate pump, the level need not always be fixed. (normal discharge pressure is 1.4 - 2.2 kg/cm?) (0-137 - 0.216MPa) Fresh water quantity is increased as the sea water temperature falls after adjusting to the fixed fresh water quantity. Naturally water level at the distillate pump suction side increases, produced water stays inside of the condenser, the effective heating area of the condenser decreases, evaporation ity decreases, accordingly, the operating condition will be naturally quan} balanced.
