SAFETY

It is assumed that the safety department of the end user has an established safety
program based upon a thorough analysis of industrial hazards. Before installing and
operating or performing maintenance on the turbine, it is suggested that you review this
program to be certain that it covers the hazards arising from rotating machinery in general
and turbines in particular.

It is important that due consideration be given to those hazards developing from the
presence of electrical power, hot oil, high pressure and temperature steam, toxic gases,
and flammable liquids and gases. Proper installation and continued maintenance of
protective guards, shutdown devices and over pressure protection are also necessary for
safe turbine, operation. The turbine should never be operated by bypassing, overriding or
in any way rendering inoperative, guards, protective shutdown equipment or other safety
devices.

It is also essential that the turbine be isolated from all utilities to prevent the possibility of
applying power or steam to the turbine when internal maintenance work is in progress.
When performing internal turbine maintenance, always ensure that isolating valves in the
steam inlet and exhaust lines are locked closed and tagged, and all drains opened to
depressurize the turbine casing and steam chest. Precautions must also be taken to
prevent possible turbine rotation due to reverse flow through the driven machinery.

In general, you should be guided by all of the basic safety rules associated with the
turbine, driven equipment and plant process.

WARRANTY

Should any part of the machinery prove, under normal use and service, to have been
defective in material or workmanship, when shipped, the Company warrants, so far as
said part of its own manufacture, that it will repair or replace said part f.o.b. the Company
Works provided the Purchaser discovers said defect within eighteen months after date of
shipment or twelve months from date of start-up and notifies the Company in writing
thereof within five days after such discovery and on request of the Company returns the
part claimed to be defective, transportation prepaid, to the Company's Works for
inspection. There are no other warranties, expressed or implied, except of title. The
Company shall not be liable for any damages or delays caused by defective material or
workmanship. No allowance will be made for repairs or alterations made by others
without the company's written consent or approval. The company does not warrant that
any part of the machinery will resist the action of erosive or corrosive gases or liquids and
no part shall be deemed to be defective by reason of its failure to resist such action,
unless expressly agreed otherwise herein. The Company assumes no responsibilities for
damage to machinery caused by improper installation or by operation above its rated
capacity, intentional or otherwise, or by improper handling or maintenance.

iii
LIMITATIONS

It is to be noted that none of the drawings or printed material contained in this Technical
Manual in any way adds to, detracts from, voids or alters any of the conditions of the
contract.

WET STEAM

Many factors which affect the life of turbine nozzles, disks, and blades are beyond the
control of the Elliott Company and prevent the Elliott Company from assuming any
warranty obligations for corrosion or erosion.

Nozzle, disk and blade erosion and corrosion increases with increasing steam moisture
content. The inlet steam pressure, the inlet steam temperature and the exhaust pressure
fundamentally determine moisture content. Skill in the boiler operation and the installation
and maintenance of moisture traps affect the steam moisture content as well.

The presence of noncondensable gases such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur
dioxide, etc., in the steam will affect the acidity and, therefore, the corrosiveness of the
steam. Industrial steam systems with high percentages of "make-up" water frequently
have high concentrations of these noncondensables. Boiler feed water treatment is the
responsibility of the user and is out of the realm of the Elliott Company's responsibility.

Corrosion will occur if vapor is allowed to enter the machine when it is idle. When shutting
down for standby be sure that the inlet valve has a tight seat and that an open drain valve
is provided between the inlet valve and the steam chest. Also be sure that all casing
drains are open.

ALLOWABLE VARIATIONS FROM RATED STEAM PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE

The following variations are intended to allow for transient operating conditions only. To
eliminate the possibility of voiding the guarantee, steps should be taken to minimize their
occurrence and operate at design conditions.

Inlet Pressure
The initial pressure at rated load shall average not more than rated pressure over any 12-
month operating period.

The turbine is capable of operating without damage at less than rated steam flow with an
average pressure of 105% of rated pressure. (This permissible variation recognizes the
increase in pressure with decrease in steam flow encountered during operation).

The initial pressure shall not exceed 110% of rated pressure in maintaining these
averages except during abnormal conditions.

During abnormal conditions, the initial pressure may swing momentarily to 120% of rated
value. The aggregate of such swings shall not exceed 12 hours per 12-month operating
period.

iv
Inlet Temperature
The steam temperature at the turbine inlet flange shall average not more than rated
temperature over any 12-month operating period. In maintaining this average, the
temperature shall not exceed rated temperature plus 15°F (80C) except during abnormal
conditions. During abnormal conditions, the temperature shall not exceed . rated
temperature plus 25°F (140C) for more than 400 hours per 12-month operating period,
nor rated temperature plus 500F (300C) for swings of 15 minutes duration or less,
aggregating no more than 80 hours per 12-month operating period.

Exhaust Pressure For Non-Condensing Turbines


The exhaust pressure shall average not more than rated exhaust pressure over any 12-
month operating period.

The turbine shall be capable of operating without damage at less than rated steam flow to
the turbine, provided that the exhaust pressure shall not exceed 11 0 per cent nor drop
below 80 per cent of rated exhaust pressure.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

-- Elliott CYR, DYR, and BYRH Turbines are single s~age steam turbines controlled by
single steam admission valves. These turbines are used for numerous drive applications
under various steam conditions. Other than difference in physical size, CYR and DYR
Turbines are similar in design and construction. DYRM, and DYRN Turbines are identical
to the DYR Turbine except for the location and size of the turbine exhaust connection.
The BYRH, BYRHH, CYRH and DYRH are of heavier construction with more/different
shaft seals to· withstand the higher exhaust steam pressures and temperatures. In
general, these turbines consist of the following components. Refer to Figure 1-1 and 1-2.

General Information

Turbine Casing
The horizontally split turbine casing surrounds the rotating element of the turbine and
supports the stationary steam path parts. The steam end casing consists- of the high
pressure steam ring and nozzle chambers. The exhaust end casing contains the steam
exhaust connection. The steam end casing and exhaust end casings support the casing
cover.

Packing Cases And Carbon Rings


The turbines are furnished with two horizontally split packing cases. One packing case is
bolted through a vertical flange, to the steam end turbine casing and casing cover. The
other packing case is similarly attached to the exhaust end turbine casing and casing
cover. The packing cases house the carbon rings which seal the casing and rotor shaft.
These rings minimize steam leakage along the shaft when the turbine operates non-
condensing. Turbines operating condensing, employ carbon rings, along with a sealing
steam arrangement, to prevent air leakage into the casing. The BYRHH turbine uses a
labyrinth seal in combination with the carbon rings and an intermediate leak-off port
which must be connected to a 75 to 125 psig (5.2 to 8.6 bar) header.

Sentinel Valve
This warning device, located on the top of the turbine casing, indicates excessive turbine
casing pressure. In the event the casing pressure exceeds a predetermined setting
above the normal operating pressure, the valve releases a small amount of visible steam
to the atmosphere, causing a hissing sound. The sentinel valve does NOT serve as a -
relief valve. Full flow relief valves, or other protective devices used to relieve the turbine
of excessive casing pressure, MUST be installed by the customer. (See Atmospheric
Relief Valve Chapter 2 page 2-9).

Nozzle Ring And Reversing Blade Assembly


The nozzle ring is bolted to the inside of the steam end turbine casing. The nozzles,
located in the nozzle ring, direct the steam against the first rotating row of buckets. The
reversing blade assembly is positioned between the two rotating rows of buckets and is
bolted to the nozzle ring. The reversing blades reverse the steam flow as it exits the
buckets on the first rotating row and directs the steam into the buckets on the second
rotating row.

Bearing Housings And Supports


The steam end bearing housing is bolted and doweled to the steam end casing. A
support, attached to the bottom of the steam end bearing housing, sustains the weight of
the steam end of the turbine, and allows for thermal growth of the casing. The bearing
housing contains a journal bearing, rotor locating bearing, two oil rings (if required), the
overspeed trip assembly, governor drive arrangement and a shaft sleeve seal. The seal
prevents oil leakage from the bearing housing, and restricts the entry of dust, dirt and
moisture.

The exhaust end of the turbine is supported by the exhaust end bearing pedestal, which
is attached to the turbine casing at the center line. The bearing pedestal houses a
journal bearing, two oil rings (if required) and two shaft sleeve seals.

Governor System
The Turbines employ several types of governors to control the turbine speed. The
governor positions the governor valve, via the governor linkage. The governor valve
varies the steam flow through the turbine, thereby matching the driven machine power
and speed.

General Information

Journal Bearings
Two journal bearings radially position and support the rotor. One is located in the steam
end bearing housing, the other in the exhaust end bearing pedestal. The bearings are
babbitt lined, horizontally split, precision machined steel sleeves.

The rotor locating bearing is mounted on the rotor shaft and positioned in the steam end
bearing housing. The purpose of the locating bearing is to position' the rotor axially within
the turbine casing. Some units utilize a Kingsbury type thrust bearing in place of the rotor
locating bearing.

Overspeed Trip System


The emergency overspeed trip system operates entirely separate from the governor
system. The trip system is designed to shut the turbine down at trip speed.

Rotor
Rotors used in YR Turbines are typically of the "built up" design whereby the disks are
keyed and shrunk on the rotor shaft. Two styles of disks are used on rotor assemblies;
two separate straight sided disks, each having a row of buckets {Detail A, Figure 4-5), or
one profile disk containing both rows of buckets {Detail 8, Figure 4-5). A shaft sleeve
seal, rotor locating bearing, overspeed trip mechanism and the governor drive
arrangement are mounted on the steam end of the rotor shaft. The drive coupling and
two shaft sleeve seals are mounted on the exhaust end. Shrink rings are mounted
outboard and between the disks on rotors equipped with straight disk assemblies. All ·
rotor assemblies are dynami~lly balanced to provide smooth operation.

Steam Chest
The steam chest is bolted to the steam end of the turbine casing. Steam flowing through
the steam inlet passes through a strainer in the steam chest, past the trip valve, then past
the governor valve and seat to the steam ring in the casing. In larger governor valves,
part of the flow passes through the outer seat and back through the hollow valve body
providing reduced valve forces.

FACTORY TESTS

The turbines are completely assembled and steam tested before shipment. During
testing, the speed governor, overspeed trip mechanism, trip valve and governor valve are
adjusted, and the overall mechanical operation is determined to be satisfactory.

SHIPMENT

The assembled turbine is mounted on a skid and covered with an open framework of light
crating. The purpose of the crating is to indicate the outside limits of the turbine, and to
provide a means of visually identifying the contents of the crate. The crating should not
be regarded as protection against damage resulting from rough handling. Internal
surfaces and exterior unpainted machined surfaces of the turbine are coated with a rust
preventative compound.

Turbines that are exported are boxed in containers having extra shoring and bracing. The
tops of the containers are waterproofed to provide additional protection against weather
damage. ·

UNPACKING

Remove the crating and check all items against the packing list. Ensure that parts are
not missing or damaged. Handle all parts carefully. If inspection shows that the turbine
has been damaged during shipment, contact the carrier and file a damage claim
immediately. If any parts are missing from the shipment, contact the nearest Elliott
Company Office.

HANDLING

-WARNING-
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIFT THE TURBINE BY THE
EYEBOLT LOCATED ON THE TURBINE CASING
COVER. THIS EYEBOLT IS FOR LIFTING ONLY THE
CASING COVER. USING THIS EYEBOLT TO LIFT THE
ENTIRE WEIGHT OF THE TURBINE PRESENTS A
SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD.

The turbine can be lifted safely by the use of slings under both ends of the turbine casing
as shown in Figure 1-3. When lifting the turbine, machined surfaces must be adequately
protected and the turbine kept level. In general, the lifting and handling of the turbine,
and any associated equipment, must be planned around the facilities available at the
installation site. The exact procedures as to "How to handle the equipmenf', should be
the responsibility of those charged with the handling task. The estimated weight of the
Turbine is provided on the outline drawing in chapter 2 of this manual.

STORAGE

Rust preventative compound is applied to the turbine before shipment. This provides
protection for up to 3 months outdoor storage, or six months indoor storage. The turbine
should be stored indoors whenever possible. The storage area should provide a clean
dry environment, free from temperature extremes. The turbine should be maintained in
an approximate level position while in storage. The expected -protection of the rust
preventative does not take into consideration extreme conditions resulting from outdoor
storage. Storing the turbine outdoors often subjects it to frequent temperature changes,
excessive amounts of moisture and, in some instances, salt laden air. All of these
conditions reduce the effectiveness of the rust preventative and should be avoided.

When a turbine is taken out of service for an extended period, it should be prepared for
storage. The following steps will safeguard against rust and corrosion:

Refer to Turbine Disassembly and Assembly procedures, Chapter 4.

1. Isolate the Turbine from the steam supply and exhaust source. Tag all isolating
valves.

2.. Remove the bearing caps and coat the rotor shaft journals, bearing liners and rotor
locating bearing with a suitable rust preventative.

3. Replace the bearing caps. Leave the bolts finger tight, and tag .the bearing caps to
indicate that the bolts are loose.

4. Remove the top half packing cases and carbon ring assemblies. Coat the packing
case internals and carbon ring sealing areas on the rotor shaft with rust preventative
compound.

5. Remove the top half turbine casing and coat the rotor assembly and casing internals
with rust preventative.

6. Replace the top half casing carbon ring assemblies and top half packing cases. Tag
the casing cover and packing cases to warn that joints must be made up before
placing the turbine in operation. ·

7. Coat the external rotor shaft areas with rust preventative.

8. If the turbine is equipped with a Woodward Hydraulic Governor; fill the governor with
turbine oil.

9. Coat governor linkage and pins with rust preventative.

10. Inspect the turbine periodically and reapply rust preventative as necessary.

Prior to returning the turbine to service: Refer to Disassembly and Assembly procedures,
Chapter4.

Chapter2
Installation

INTRODUCTION

Proper installation is an absolute necessity for successful long term turbine operation.
The turbine installation requires specialized knowledge and skills. For this reason, only
competent personnel should be employed for the installation. It is recommended that an
Elliott Company Representative be retained to supervise the turbine installation and initial
start-up. Certified outline and connection drawings, issued by EIUott Company, provide
important information necessary for the turbine installation. Study these drawings closely
and refer to them for mounting dimensions, electrical and piping connections, etc. The
instructions in this chapter, along with the information contained on the certified drawings,
should be thoroughly understood before proceeding with the turbine installation.

FOUNDATION

The principle function of the foundation is to provide a permanent support for the turbine
mounting surface. It should be sufficiently rigid to maintain the shaft end alignment
between the turbine and driven machine. The foundation should also be isolated to
prevent transmitting any · vibrations from the areas surrounding the turbine. Suitable
footing is necessary to eliminate possibilities of the foundation settling. When
constructing the foundation, allowances must be made for gaining access to the turbine
and its auxiliary equipment. The entire foundation and support structure must be ·
designed by qualified personoeL and constructed to meet all local codes.

FINISH GROUTLNG

Grouting provides a strong, rigid joint between the rough foundation surface and the
equipment. The grout forms an extension of the main foundation and provides a
continuous support for the equipment. It is important that the grout completely fills the
space between the foundation and mounting surfaces. This is necessary to maintain the
shaft alignment.·

Before grouting, the equipment must be leveled and the shafts rough aligned. All hold
down bolts must be tight and the piping disconnected during the grouting operation.

Foundation Preparation:

1. Thoroughly clean and dry the foundation.

2. Chip the foundation surfaces to provide a suitable bonding area for the grout
mixture. ·

3. Chip away any glazed or smooth finished surfaces.

4. Treat any oil or grease spots on the foundation with a caustic and neutralizer, or
chip the foundation sufficiently deep so that all oil or grease is removed.

06/97 2-1
Chapter2
Installation

Job specifications will govern the type of grout to be used, as well as the placing of the
grout for best results. In preparation for packing or pouring the grout, all necessary tools,
manpower, materials and equipment should be made readily available. When prepared
grout mixtures are used, the manufacturer's instructions and applicable safety
precautions should be followed. Because of the accelerated rate of curing during
abnormally hot weather, it may be desirable to grout during the cooler hours of the day.
In cold weather, the grout materials should be stored in a warm place. Low temperatures
make the grout difficult to handle. For best results, refer to grout vendor's instructions for
working times at various ambient temperatures.

When a fluid mix is used, forming is required. The forms must be adequate to sustain
the load of the grout mixture. Putty or cement must be used to seal all joints between the
forms and the foundation. The forms should be heavily waxed to prevent the grout from
adhering to them when using epoxy grouts. When pouring the grout into the forms, use
pushing tools to chum the grout and eliminate any air pockets. After the grout has been
poured and allowed to settle for half an hour, air should again be eliminated. Leave
forms in place until the grout is firm enough to resist flowing. It is advisable to leave the
forms in place overnight (in cold weather, longer periods may be necessary). After the
grout has cured, chip away any faults or cracks and fill with fresh grout. The grout
surfaces should then be finished with a surfacing stone.

COUPLING INSTALLATION

A flexible coupling (Figure 2-1) is used to couple the turbine to the driven machine. This
type of coupling can be manufactured for use with either straight or tapered shaft ends.
Individual preferences or certain operating conditions may dictate using different types of
couplings. Therefore, it is advisable to refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific
details pertaining to the coupling ..

Installing a Straight Bore Coupling

1. Clean and de-burr the coupling hub and turbine shaft.

2. Place the coupling sleeve (if applicable) on the turbine rotor shaft with the bolting
flange positioned toward the shaft end.

3. Check fit between coupling hub and shaft. Coupling should have a .001" - .002"
{.03 mm - .05 mm) interference fit.

4. 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 be fitted to
provide .005 inch to .013 inch (0.13 mm to 0.33 mm) top clearance in the coupling
keyway. The entire length of the keyslot in the shaft and coupling must be filled
by the key. Areas of the shaft keyslot not covered by the coupling must be filled
by a partial section of the key.

2-2 06/97
Chapter 2
Installation

5. After the key has been fitted to provide the proper clearances, insert it in the shaft
keyway.

6. Apply a light coat of suitable anti-galling lubricant on the mounting surface of the
shaft.

7. Heat the coupling hub in oil, or in an oven, to approximately 3000F (1500C). The
coupling should not be heated with an open flame or be allowed to exceed 600oF
(315°C).

WARNING
HEAT RESISTANT GLOVES SHOULD BE WORN WHEN
HANDLING THE HEATED COUPLING.

7. Place.the coupling hub on the turbine shaft and position it so that the hub face is
flush with the shaft end.

CAUTION
Do not drive the coupling on or off the shaft with a
hammer. The force of the hammer will damage the rotor
locating bearing and result in internal turbine damage.

Installing a Taper Bore Coupling

1. Clean and de-burr the coupling hub and turbine shaft

2. Apply a light coating of Prussian Blue to the rotor shaft.

3. Place the coupling hub on the shaft

4. Remove the coupling and check the contact with the shaft.

CAUTION
Hand lapping the coupling hub on the rotor shaft may
form a ridge which will affect the coupling contact when
pulled up. Correct the contact by lightly stoning any
ridges, burrs or high spots.

5. 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 be fitted to
provide .005 inch to .013 inch (0.13 mm to 0.33 mm} top clearance in the coupling
keyway. The entire length of the keyslot on the shaft and coupling must be filled
by the key. Areas of the shaft keyslot not covered by the coupling must be filled
by a partial section of the key.

6. After the key has been fitted to provide the proper clearances and the coupling
contact is determined to be satisfactory, insert the key in the shaft keyway.

7. Place the coupling sleeve (if applicable) on the turbine shaft. Position the bolting
flange toward the shaft end.

8. Mount the coupling hub on the shaft (at room temperature).

9. Tighten the shaft locknut to obtain an interference fit between the coupling and
shaft. Coupling pull up for CYR and BYRH Turbines is .030 inch (0.76 mm)..
Coupling pull up for DYR Turbines is .036 {0.91 mm).

CAUTION
Do not drive the coupling on or off the shaft with a
hammer. The force of the hammer will damage the rotor
locating bearing and result in internal turbine damage.

SHAFT ALIGNMENT

Prope~ shaft alignment is essential for smooth, trouble-free turbine operation. Experience
indicates that excessive vibration is often caused by misalignment. Frequently, abnormal
bearing and coupling wear can be traced to shaft misalignment. Coupling or shaft failures
may result from extreme cases of shaft misalignment. Two basic types of shaft
misalignment must be determined and corrected to within certain tolerances.

2-4 06/97
Chapter2
Installation

1. Collinear alignment is achieved when the center line of each shaft is coincident with
the other. (Fig. 2-2A)

2. Angular displacement {Figure 2-2, B) is a type of misalignment where shaft


centerlines intersect but are not collinear. (Collinear alignment: Figure 2-2, B).

3. Parallel offset (Figure 2-2, C) is a type of misalignment which occurs when the shaft
centerlines are parallel to each other, but do not intersect.

Figure 2-2 Types Of Shaft Misalignment

During the initial alignment, allowances must be made for thermal growth that occurs as
both the turbine and driven equipment change from ambient to normal operating
temperature. Care should be exercised when estimating the temperature change, since
turbine supports may contain several distinct temperature zones. The bolted .joint
between the supports and the turbine casing, and between the supports and the
mounting surfaces are very effective heat transfer barriers. Therefore, the supports will
- normally settle out at the temperature in the areas around the base of the supports.
Experience has shown that the shaft centerline of YR turbines operating non-condensing
will generally rise from .004 inch to .010 inch (0.10 mm to 0.25 mm) during transition from
ambient to operating temperature. Condensing turbines normally experience a lesser
degree of thermal growth. Local environmental conditions or extraordinary operating
conditions may. cause these values to deviate; therefore, the thermal expansion may
have to be calculated using actual site measurements.

06/97 2-5
Chapter2
Installation

The driven machine instruction book must be checked to determine the operating thermal
growth. The initial alignment should be the difference of these values. The turbine has
no horizontal movement due to thermal growth. Certain driven machines such as gears,
may experience horizontal movement which must be taken into account.

To calculate the approximate amount of thermal expansion, measure the distance from
the bottom of the support feet to the shaft centerline. Multiply this distance in inches
(alternately, in millimeters} by the thermal expansion coefficient of .0000067 in. per
degree Fahrenheit (alternately, 0.012 X 10-3 mm per degree Celsius) times the
temperature difference from ambient in degrees Fahrenheit (alternately, degrees Celsius)
of the pedestal metal at mid-height.

Thermal expansion formula: .AL =L • a. support ~ (T support- T ambient)


.AL - Thermal Growth of Turbine
a. support - Thermal expansion coefficient of support
(.0000067 in/in. 0 F)
L - Length of Support (Measurement or from outline drawing)
T support - The average temp. of the turbine support.
T ambient- The local Temp. during alignment

Prior To Aligning The Equipment:

1. Be sure the turbine is leveled and squared in relationship to the driven machine.

2. Clean any paint, burrs or corrosion from the turbine support surfaces and the
mounting surfaces. Insert stainless steel shimpacks between turbine supports
and mounting surfaces. This will provide a solid, adjustable link between the
equipment and the mounting surface.

3. Be sure that the turbine rests firmly on the mounting surface, with equal loading
on each support foot.

NOTE
The weight of steam chests on some turbines may need to
be supported with jacks to insure even weight during
alignment.

4. Tighten all hold down bolts.

5. Disconnect all piping from the turbine. Determine which piece of equipment
(turbine or driven machine) is to remain fixed and which is to be moved during
alignment. Some general guidelines are:

a. If an installation consists of a turbine and a pump; the turbine is leveled,


squared and bolted down, and the puml? is aligned to the turbine.

b. If a reduction gear is installed between the turbine and the pump; level,
square and bolt the gear to the mounting surface and align the turbine and
pump to the gear.

2-6 06/97
Chapter2
Installation

6. Check the coupling run out {face and rims).

The initial alignment must be performed with the turbine at ambient temperature and after
grouting. Alignment checks must be made in proper sequence; angular misalignment
must be determined and corrected first, the parallel misalignment second.

There are two similar procedures available for measuring paraUel offset and angular
displacement. The most accurate measurements are obtained when one of the following
recommended methods is used.

The "Rim and Face Method is the preferred procedure when the distance between the
two adjacent ends is less than one-half the coupling diameter (this assumes face
readings are taken near outside diameter). This procedure is also known as the "Hub
and Face Method" or "Two Indicator Method."

To Check The Angular Misalignment (Rim and Face):

1. Shift the rotors to the operating position (The operating position of the turbine
rotor shaft is toward the driven machine}.

CAUTION
Clean all preservatives from the bearing surfaces.
Lubricate all . bearings before attempting to shift or
rotate the rotor shaft.

2. Use a feeler gage to determine the gap between the coupling faces at four
locations, soo apart, as shown in Figure 2·3.

360°

Figure 2-3 Shaft Alignment

06/97 2-7
Chapter 2
Installation

3. Make any necessary alignment adjustments by shifting and shimming the


equipment to obtain equal distances to within .001 inch (0.02 mm) between the
coupling faces at each goo location. Refer to the coupling manufacturer's
specifications for the required coupling gap.

To Check For Parallel Offset Misalignment:

1. Match mark both halves of the coupling rims with a scribe or marking pencil so
that shaft positions can be determined at all times during the alignment check.

2. Tighten the turbine support hold down bolts and mount a dial indicator (accuracy
of .001 in. or greater) on one of the coupling hubs. Place the indicator contact
point on the rim of the opposite coupling. Rotate the shaft to position the indicator
contact point at the top of the rim.

3. Align the two match marks on the coupling rims and set the dial indicator on zero.
Rotate both shafts simultaneously, keeping the match marks together. Record the
indicator readings at goo, 180°, 270° and 360°. The indicator should read zero at
360° (Starting point). Repeat this procedure several times to double check the
readings.

NOTE
When spanning a wide coupling gap With an indicator rig,
the amount of sag within the rig must be determined. It is
necessary to compensate for the sag when correcting
vertical parallel misalignment.

4. Loosen the turbine support hold down bolts and correct the vertical parallel
misalignment by adding or removing shims under the equipment support feet.

5. Tighten the hold down bolts and recheck the vertical and horizontal parallel
alignment.

6. Loosen the hold down bolts and correct the horizontal parallel alignment by
shifting the equipment sideways. Mount dial indicators on the wobble foot and
exhaust pedestal to monitor movements.

7. Tighten the hold down bolts and recheck .the horizontal and vertical parallel
alignment.

8. After the parallel alignment is determined to be satisfactory, recheck the angular


alignment. The parallel and angular misalignment must be no greater than .001
inch (0.02 mm) total indicator reading.

9. With dial indicators mounted in the vertical and horizontal plane connect steam
· piping. Movement should be less than .00~ in.. in either direction. If greater
values are noted, readjust piping as required.-

Reverse Indicator Method of Shaft Alignment


1. Use the reverse indicator method of shaft alignment when distance between two
adjacent shaft ends is greater than one half the coupling diameter.

NOTE
For alignment purposes, the effective distance between
shaft ends can be increased by spanning the shaft end to
obtain a dial indicator location inboard of actual shaft ends.
Key factor is to spread two indicators as far apart as
practical with negligible bracket sag. (As spread increases,
so does possibilities for bracket sag.)

The reverse indicator method of shaft alignment eliminates the need for taking face
readings.

2. The reverse indicator method involves taking readings from one shaft to .the rim
surface on the hub of the adjoining shaft and vice versa as shown h1 Figure 2-4.

4. Mark both the coupling hubs at four locations 90° apart so that their position can
easily be seen at all times during the alignment work.

06/97 2-9
Chapter2
Installation

5. All piping strain must be removed from machine. For initial alignment work during
installation, all piping should be left unconnected from machinery. After cold
alignment has been secured, arrange dial indicators between shaft ends or between
foundation and machine case such that any movement of machine can be detected.
Connect one flange at a time and observe indicator readings continuously. Should
movement exceed 2 mils (0.05 mm), piping strain is considered excessive. Reason
for strain should be investigated and condition corrected b~fore proceeding with
alignment.

6. 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. The bracket should be sturdily constructed to
minimize shifting and sag during use.

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 "8". Therefore, shaft "8"
belongs to machine that will be moved.

7. Attach the indicator bracket to shaft "A".

8. Attach the dial indicator to the bracket so that the dial indicator stem will rest on the
outer rim of coupling hub "8". The indicator button should contact in about 0.25 inch
(6 mm) from the hub face.

9. Position dial indicator at top dead center, in line with 0° marking on coupling "8" and
zero indicator. ·

10. Rotate both shafts together and record dial readings on alignment map at 90°, 180°
and 270° positions. On return to top position, the indicator should return to zero.
Repeat this step several times to be sure no mistake has been made or something
moved.

11. The accuracy of the readings may be verified by algebraically adding the side
readings and comparing this sum to bottom reading. The readings should be equal
to or within 1 mil (.02 mm).

12. Remove the bracket from shaft "A" and install on shaft "8". Using the same
procedure obtain indicator readings from shaft "8" to the rim of coupling hub "A".

13. Using the two equations shown on the suggested shaft alignment map, calculate the
vertical offset 0Jo) and the horizontal or plan view offset (Ho). Plot these results in
the proper view and in the axial location where indicator readings were taken. Note
3 or 4 on the alignment map can assist in determining the shaft location above or
below other shaft. When making this determination, .it is sometimes helpful to locate
centerline of shaft end "8" first that is shaft end of machine to be moved, and then
the projected centerline of shaft end "8" at shaft end "A". In this explanation shaft
end "A" is f~xed and therefore shaft "8" must be located relative to shaft "A".

2-10 06/97
Chapter2
Installation

NOTE
Correct the bottom reading for sag in the bracket by
algebraically adding to bottom indicator reading. No
correction is needed on the side readings since it is
negative on both sides and will cancel out.

14. In each view draw a straight line through points located in Step 13, extending the
1ine to intersect both supports of machine "8". Read off distance between line just
completed and desired cold shaft position ·(dashed line) at each support for machine
"B". This measurement represents movement necessary to obtain correct cold
alignment.

15. Make adjustments indicated in Step 14.

16. Repeat Steps 7 through 14 to verify adjustments made in Step 15 were correct.

17. Unless otherwise noted, a final hot alignment should provide for an angular
displacement between machine coupling hub centerlines and coupling spacer
centerline of approximately 0.25 mil per inch (0.25 mm/m) at the coupling gear teeth
or flex elements. This angular displacement is not a limit but a suggested alignment
goal. Refer to coupling literature for more information on maximum allowable
misalignment.

After cold alignment has been made, the soleplates or baseplates must then be grouted;
refer to previous section titled "Grouting".

STEAM PIPING

During the commissioning of the turbine, pipe strain should be checked. A common
method to accomplish this is to place dial indicators contacting the coupling in vertical
planes. Bolt inlet and exhaust lines to the turbine one at a time and note the movement
of the coupling. Excessive cold strain is present if more than .002" (.05 mm) is noted on
either indicator.

There are two definite objectives of a good piping installation:

1. To prevent the piping weight and expansion from imposing strains on the turbine
casing, thereby affecting the shaft alignment.

2. To connect and drain the steam inlet and exhaust piping of any accumulated
water, thus providing dry steam to the turbine.

Shut-off valves are recommended in the· steam lines to allow working on the turbine
without shutting down the boiler. The valves should be located in an accessible area
between the turbine and the header piping. The turt>ine. casing must be protected from
piping weight and expansion strains. The weight of the piping must be carried by suitable
supports. Thermal pipe loads can usually be reduced to acceptable levels by designing
flexibility into the piping through the use of expansion loops or expansion joints. Cold
connections between the pipe flanges and turbine flanges should be made without

06/97 2-11
Chapter2
Installation

having to force the pipe in any direction to make a satisfactory joint. The pipe 11anges
must be squared to the turbine flanges to within .010 inch (0.25 mm) with all pipe flange
bolts removed. Figure 2-5 illustrates the suggested steam and exhaust piping
arrangement. Pressure balance or tied expansion joints are recommended when
expansion joints are used in the piping.

ATMOSPHERIC RELIEF VALVE

An atmospheric relief valve must be installed between the turbine exhaust flange and the
first exhaust line shut-off valve (See Figure 2-5) or check valve. The purpose of this relief
valve is to protect the turbine casing from excessive exhaust pressure or faiiure of
exhaust valve. The relief valve must be of ample size to pass the maximum quantity of
steam flowing through the turbine without allowing the turbine casing pressure to exceed
the maximum designed pressure shown on the turbine nameplate. It is the user's
responsibility to install the relief valve in the piping.. Failure to install relief valve may
violate local or national codes and must be approved by an officer of the company.

WARNING
THE TURBINE SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED UNLESS
THE ATMOSPHERIC RELIEF VALVE OR OTHER
PROTECTIVE DEVICE HAS BEEN INSTALLED AHEAD
OF ANY SHUT-OFF VALVE, AND IS IN OPERATING
CONDITION.

The sentinel valve (51, Figure 4-12), located on the turbine casing cover {3, Figure 4- 12),
does not serve as a relief valve. The sentinel valve will not pass suffiCient steam to
relieve the turbine casing of excessive exhaust pressure. The relief valve should be set
to open at the sentinel valve setting and be fully open with a additional 10 psig or 10%
whichever is greater.

MISCELLANEOUS PIPING CONNECTIONS

Considerable attention should be given to the installation of miscellaneous piping. Poorly


planned and installed .piping may obscure drain line functions and lead to error when
opening or closing drain lines during operation. In addition, poorly installed piping will
detract from the appearance of the installation. All drain and leakoff lines should be
installed in a neat and orderly manner. They should be grouped and brought to an open
collector box and, from there, piped to a common sump or sewer. All valves should be
conveniently grouped as close as possible to the collector box and all lines should be
tagged for identification. Drain lines connected through valves must have the valves
tightly closed during operation. On condensing units, these valves must not be opened
unless the turbine casing is no longer under vacuum. Drains connected without valves
must be clean and piped to an open drain. Refer to certified outline and connection
drawings for the specific sizes of all connections and for their exact locations. The pipe
- size must be the same as or larger than connecting sizes. All connections are brought
outside the jacket when the turbine is insulated and jacketed.

NOTE
All drains should be run as separate lines to an open
collector box.

Chapter2
Installation

The following identifies the most common miscellaneous piping connections that may be
furnished and explains their individual functions (Refer to figure 2-6). Refer to the
certified outline and purchasers connection drawing to verify the connection required.

1. Casing Drain {M): Connect through a suitable valve to an open drain. Open
before starting the turbine; close when water no longer emerges from the drain.
Open when the turbine is shut down and the exhaust Valve is closed. On
condensing turbines, do not open this valve while the turbine is under vacuum.

2. Steam Chest Drains [M4, M5, and M1 (BYRH, HH only)]: Connect through high
pressure piping and suitable valves to an open drain. Open before starting the
turbine to drain water from the steam chest. Close when water ceases to flow
from the drain lines. Open when the tuibine is shut down. On condensing
turbines, do not open this valve while the turbine is under vacuum.

3. Shaft Packing Case Leakoff (L3): Connect to an open drain without a valve.
Connect to a vacuum source when applicable.

4. Trip Valve Stem Leakoff (L4): Connect to an open drain without a valve.

5. Governor Valve Stem Leakoff (L5): Connect to an open drain without a valve.

6. Cooling Water Conne~tions to Bearing Housings (N5, N6, N9 and N10}: These
connections are located on the side of the turbine bearing housings. See figure
2-6. Connect to a cooling water supply, which does not exceed gooF (320C).
Pipe the cooling water through a stop cock and hand valve into N5, out of N6, into
N9, out of N10 through a one-foot head loop to an open drain. Adjust the stop
cock to supply water at a rate of 2 gpm (7.5 1/min.) when the hand valve is fully
open. See Figure 2-7 for piping arrangement of water cooled bearing housings
and caps. These connections are not used on pressure lubricated turbines.

NOTE
Cooling water pressure must not exceed 75 psig (5 bar).

7. Shaft Packing Case Steam Piping (T1): Furnished only when the turbine is
operated condensing. Connect through a valve to a pressurized saturated steam
supply. Admit steam to packing cases until a slight amount of steam leaks out of
L3. A typical arrangement is shown in Figure 2-8.

8. Nozzle ring gage connection (S1): A shut-off valve and gage arrangement may
be installed in this connection. The gage can be used for indicating the inlet
steam pressure drop across the steam chest. ·

9. Intermediate leakoff (L3-1) for BYRHH only: Connect to a 75 to 125 psig (5.1 to
8.6 bar) header. The leakoff line should have a gage located near each packing
case. A valve should be used to isolate the packing cases from the header.

Hot Alignment Check


A hot alignment check must be made when the turbine and driven equipment have
operated with full load for several hours and operating temperatures are stabilized. This
check will indicate alignment adjustments which inay be required to provide collinear
shaft alignment during operation.

The purpose of the hot alignment check is to determine the relati~e change of the shaft
end positions from ambient (cold) to operating (hot) temperature during operation. It is
generally impractical, if not impossible, to determine the relative shaft positions by
indicating the rotating shaft ends with dial indicators. For this reason, most hot alignment
checks are based on the assumption that the turbine casing and bearing housings
expand uniformly in a radial direction from the shaft center, and maintain this relationship
to the shaft center, regardless of the operating temperature. Experience indicates this to
be a valid assumption when applied to rotating machinery designed in approximate
symmetry about the shaft. An accurate mechanical alignment check (based on this
assumption) can be readily accomplished by measuring the movement of the turbine
bearing housing in relationship to the bearing housing of the driven machine as the
equipment changes from ambient to stabilized operating temperature.

With the equipment at ambient temperature, mount a dial indicator (having a minimum
indicating range of 0.1 inch (2.5 mm) on top of the coupling end bearing housing of the
driven machine (Indicator A, Figure 2-10). Adjust the dial indicator to the approximate
mid range of the total travel and position the contact point to rest on top of the turbine
exhaust end bearing cap. This dial indicator will measure the amount of vertical thermal
expansion of the turbine in r~lationship to the driven machine when both hav.e reached
normal operating temperature.

NOTE
The mounting of fixtures to monitor hot alignment must be
carefully reviewed to minimize errors as a result of thermal
growths.

Similarly, mount another dial indicator on the side of the coupling end bearing housing of
the driven machine (Indicator B, Figure 2-10). Adjust the dial indicator so the contact
point rests against the side of the turbine exhaust end bearing cap. This dial indicator will
detect any horizontal equipment movement resulting from piping strains or foundation
deflections, which might be imposed at normal operating temperatures.

Chapter2
Installation

With the equipment at ambient temperature, set dial indicator A to reflect the vertical
thermal expansion allowance made during the initial (cold) alignment. Set dial indicator B
at zero.

EXAMPLE
If the turbine shaft was initially set .006 inch {0.15 mm)
lower than the driven machine shaft, adjust indicator A to
read minus .006 (-0.15 mm).

Start the turbine in accordance with the applicable routine start-up procedure given in
Chapter 3 and apply full load to the driven machine. Operate the equipment for two
hours {or until operating temperatures have stabilized). Readings of zero on both dial
indicators will verify collinear shaft alignment (Figure 2-2, B) at normal· operating
temperatures. A reading other than zero on Indicator 8 will indicate that piping strains,
foundation or baseplate deflection or other abnormal forces must be isolated and
corrected before putting the equipment into regular service.

If indicator A does not read zero at normal operating temperature, the equipment must be
shut down and the alignment corrected by the amount shown on the indicator.

EXAMPLE
Indicator A reading is plus .002 inch (+0.05 mm); the
turbine must b~ lowered by removing .002 inch (0.05 mm)
shims from under each support surface. Indicator A
reading is minus .003 inch {-0.08 mm); the turbine must
be raised .003 inch (0.08 mm) by adding shims .under
each support surface.

The primary advantage of using this method of checking hot alignment (or any variation
of this method using the same principles) is that the relative shaft positions can be
accurately determined at normal operating temperature without shutting down the
equipment. Experience shows that, regardl~ss of how quickly an alignment check is
made after shutting down the turbine, the immediate heat losses are often sufficient to
produce erroneous alignment readings.

In most cases, thermal expansion has minimal affect on angular shaft end alignment.
Therefore, this method of checking hot alignment does not allow for angular change
between the turbine and driven machine. If it is known that the driven machine will
experience significant angular change at normal operating temperature, dial indicators
should be mounted on a vertical surface of the bearing housing which is perpendicular to
the shaft. Mounting the indicators on a vertical plane will indicate any adjustments that
may be necessary to provide correct angular alignment.

Other suitable methods for checking the hot alignment are available and may be used
whenever practical. In cases where the hot alignment is questionable,. it is advisable to
use an alternate method to verify collinear shaft end alignment during operation.

ChapterS
Operation

INTRODUCTION

Turbine applications differ widely; therefore, operating procedures must be tailored to


each particular installation. The instructions in this chapter provide a recommended
procedure for the initial start-up and serve as a guide for establishing routine operating
procedures.

It is advisable that operating personnel review this technical manual to familiarize


themselves with the safety precautions and operating procedures for YR Turbines.
Particular attention should be directed to the warning and caution notes in this chapter.

STEAM SUPPLY

Steam should be free from moisture and preferably superheated. A receiver type
separator with ample drains should be provided ahead of the shut-off valve to prevent
water from entering the turbine. When a separator is not provided, a continuous drain
must be connected to the lowest point of the steam inlet piping.

The steam strainer (2, Figure 4-13) protects the turbine from large particles of scale,
welding rods, welding beads, etc. This strainer does not guard against abrasive matter,
boiler compound, acids or alkaline substances, all of which may be carried over in the
steam. These substances may corrode, erode or form deposits on the internal turbine
parts, thus reducing efficiency and power. It is necessary that feed water treatment and
boiler operation be carefully controlled to insure a supply of clean steam for long term
satisfactory operation.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Do not operate the turbine if inspection shows. that the rotor shaft journals are
corroded.

2. Be sure the rotor is not rubbing any stationary parts and rotates freely by hand
before starting.

3. Check that all piping (steam, water, air) and electrical connections are made before
operating the turbine.

4. Ensure that all valves, controls, trip mechanisms and safety devices are in good
operating condition.

06/97 3-1
Chapter 3
Operation

-WARNING-
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE TRIP
VALVE BE BLOCKED OR HELD OPEN TO RENDER THE
TRIP SYSTEM INOPERATIVE. OVERRIDING THE ·rRIP
SYSTEM, AND ALLOWING THE TURBINE TO EXCEED
THE RATED (NAMEPLATE) TRIP SPEED, MAY RESULT
IN FATAL INJURY TO PERSONNEL AND EXTENSIVE
TURBINE DAMAGE. IN THE EVENT THE TRIP SYSTEM
MALFUNCTIONS: IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN THE
TURBINE AND CORRECT THE CAUSE.

5. If rubbing or vibration occurs during operation, immediately shut down the turbine;
investigate and correct the cause.

PREPARING THE TURBINE FOR INITIAL START-UP

NOTE
Installation work (Chapter 2) including final alignment,
should be complete before attempting to operate turbine.

1. Disconnect the coupling between the turbine and driven machine (turbines driving
through reduction gears can remain coupled to the gear and operated together).

2. Disconnect the steam inlet piping at the turbine and blow out the line with the supply
steam to remove any foreign material from the pipe.

3. Check to be sure the steam strainer (2, Figure 4-13) is clean and properly installed
in the steam chest inlet flange. Connect the pipe to the turbine with a permanent
joint.

4. If operating condensing; clean rust preventative compound from ·internal turbine


surfaces.

NOTE
Rust preventative compound will foul surface condenser
tubes if not removed before operating the turbine.

5. Remove bolting from the steam end bearing cap (21, Figure 4-12), and the exhaust-
end bearing cap (12). Lift the caps approximately 1 inch (25 mm) and pry out the
top bearing liners (16, Figure 4-12) to release the oil rings (49). Remove the bearing
caps and roll out the bottom bearing liners (15), by rotating them away from their
positioning lugs. Clean and inspect the bearing liners.

NOTE
Units with No. 3 or higher rotors will not have oil rings
supplied.

3-2 06/97
Chapter3
Operation

6. Clean the rotor shaft journals and the bearing housing oil reservoirs with clean, lint
free rags. Flood the rotor locating bearing (50} and shaft journals with oil. (See
Chapter 5 for proper oil levels and lubrication requirements}.

7. Lift the weight of the rotor and roll the bottom bearing liners into place. Make certain
the positioning lugs on the liners are correctly seated in the bearing housing locating
grooves.

8. Place the top bearing liners on the shaft journals and position oil rings in the slots in
the top liners.

9. Replace the bearing caps, making sure that the positioning lugs on the top liners
engage the grooves in the bearing caps. Insert the dowel pins and tighten all bolts.

10. Inspect and lubricate the governor linkage. For specific details on preparing the
governor for start*up, see Governor Operation, Chapter 6.

11. Fabricate a damp or other blocking device to secure the coupling sleeve (if
applicable) to the hub while operating the turbine uncoupled.

NOTE
Use a balanced adapter to secure balanced gear type
coupling hubs 9uring uncoupled operation.

INITIAL START..UP, NON*CONDENSING TURBINES

1. Thoroughly drain the steam inlet piping, turbine steam chest and casing, and the
exhaust piping of any accumulated water.

2. Open the turbine exhaust valve. If overload hand valves (Figure 4-11) are
furnished, they must also be opened. Tum the governor speed adjustment to
minimum speed (Governor Operation, Chapter 6). On BYRHH Turbines, close the
intermediate leakoff' valve and leave closed until·leakoff pressure builds to line
pressure.

NOTE
When eductors are used on packing case leakoff lines,
they can be turned on at customer's discretion. However,
care must be taken to prevent steam from blowing out of
packing cases along the turbine shaft which may
contaminate oil in bearing housings.

3. Latch the resetting lever (8, Figure 4*13) and slowly open the main steam shut-off
valve until the turbine reaches approximately 500 r/min. Immediately check the
operation of the trip valve by striking the trip lever (26, Figure 4-13). Close the main
steam shut-off valve as the turbine speed decreases.

06/97 3-3
Chapter 3
Operation

4. Latch the resetting lever and slowly open the main steam shut-off valve to bring the
turbine back to 500 r/min. Remove the inspection plugs (28, Figure 4-12) from the
bearing caps and check to be sure the oil rings (if supplied) are rotating. Monitor the
speed carefully during the low speed operation.

CAUTION
Steam should not be admitted to the turbine casing by
partially opening the inlet steam shut-off valve while the
rotor is stationary. This condition will cause uneven
heating of the turbine rotor and casing which may result
in a distorted casing, bowed rotor shaft or other related
problems.

Do not leave the turbine unattended at any time during


the initial start-up.

5. Introduce cooling water to bearing housing cooling chambers to prevent overheating


(see Table 5-2). Listen for any rubbing, unusual noises or other signs of distress in
the turbine. Feel the bearing housings and oil lines to detect overheating or
vibration. Do not continue to operate if any of these conditions exist. Shut down the
turbine; locate and correct the cause of the problem. See the Troubleshooting
Guide in Chapter 4 for possible causes and corrective actions for abnormal
conditions which might occur.

6. When the turbine is thoroughly warmed up and low speed operation is determined to
be satisfactory, check that all drain valves are closed and gradually increase the
speed. At 1000 rpm, hold for 10-15 minutes. Reduce speed to 500 rpm and hold
for 5-10 minutes, allowing the shaft to cool. Continue this stepped procedure,
increasing the top speed 500 rpm and reducing back to the previous speed before
going to the next level. Continue increasing speed, when governor control is
achieved, until rated operating speed shown on the unit nameplate is reached.
(Adjust the governor as outlined in Governor Operation, Chapter 6.) Check the
turbine for unusual noises, rubbing, vibration or other signs of distress. Do not
continue to operate if any of these conditions exist See the Troubleshooting Guide
in Chapter 4 for some possible causes and corrective actions for abnormal operating
conditions.

NOTE
The stepped start up procedure must be carried out the first
2 - 3 turbine starts or after installation of new carbon rings.

NOTE
If the turbine is pressure lubricated, the oil pressure should
be 7 to 9 psig (0.5 to 0.6 bar).

7. Check the overspeed trip by overcoming the governor to actuate the overspeed trip
mechanism. Refer to Governor Operation, Chapter 6, for specific details on \
overspeedi,ng the turbine.

06/97
Chapter 3
Operation

CAUTION
Do not operate the turbine more than 2% above the
rated trip speed listed on the turbine nameplate.. If the
overspeed trip does not operate within 2o/o of the
designated speed, shut the turbine down and make trip
adjustments as described in Chapter 4, Overspeed Trip
System. ~

Three consecutive trip speeds within the required range must be recorded to verify
safe trip system operation.

8. Latch the resetting lever and bring the turbine up to speed. Operate the turbine for
approximately one hour. Check the bearing temperatures and turbine speed. Listen
for unusual noises, rubbing or vibration. After this period the turbine can be shut
down and coupled to the driven machine. If the turbine is used with a speed
reduction gear or other special equipment, follow all instructions pertaining to those
particular items.

INITIAL START-UP, CONDENSING TURBINES

1. Thoroughly drain the steam inlet line, turbine casing, steam chest and the exhaust ·
line of any accumulated water. Close the drain valves when all water is drained
from the system.

2. Adjust the governor speed setting to minimum speed. lf overload hand valves
(Figure 4-11) are furnished, they must be fully opened.

3. Latch the resetting lever (8, Figure 4-13) open the turbine exhaust valve and start
the condensing equipment.

4. Open the steam inlet shut-off valve until the turbine speed reaches approximately
500 r/min.

CAUTION
Steam should not be admitted to the turbine casing by
partially opening the inlet steam shut-off valve while the
rotor is stationary. This condition will cause uneven
heating of the turbine rotor and casing which may result
in a distorted casing, bowed rotor shaft, or other related
problems.

5. Adjust the sealing steam valve so that a slight amount of steam is discharged from
the leak-off drain lines.

NOTE
3 to 5 psig (0.20 to 0.35 bar) is usually sufficient sealing
steam pressure. However, care must be taken to prevent
steam from blowing out of the packing cases and along the
turbine shaft.
06/97 3-5
Chapter3
Operation

CAUTION
If sealing steam is allowed to leak into the bearing
housings, the lubricating oil may become contaminated
and form sludge and foam. Adjust the sealing steam
accordingly to prevent this condition.

6. Check the operation of the trip va.lve by striking the hand trip lever (26, Figure 4-13).
Close the steam inlet shut-off valve as the turbine speed decreases.

7. Latch the resetting lever and slowly open the steam shut-off valve to bring the
turbine back to 500 r/min. Remove the inspection plugs (28, Figure 4-12) from the
bearing caps and check to be sure the oil rings are rotating. Monitor the speed
carefully during the low speed operation. ·

CAUTION
Do not leave the turbine unattended at any time during
the initial start-up.

8. Introduce cooling water to bearing housing cooling chambers to prevent overheating


(See Table 5-2). Listen for any rubbing, unusual noises or other signs of distress in
the turbine. Feel all bearing housings and oil lines to detect overheating or vibration.
Do not continue to operate if any of these conditions exist. Shut down the turbine; ·
locate and correct the cause of the problem. See the Troubleshooting Guide in
Chapter 4 for possible causes and corrective actions for abnormal conditions which
might occur.

9. When the turbine is thoroughly warmed up and low speed operation is determined to
be satisfactory, check that all drain valves are closed and gradually increase speed.
At 1000 rpm, hold for 10-15 minutes. Reduce speed to 500 rpm and hold for 5-10
minutes, allowing the shaft to cool. Continue this stepped procedure increasing the
top speed 500 rpm and reducing back to the previous speed before going to the
next level. Continue increasing speed when governor control is achieved until rated
operating speed shown on the unit nameplate is. reached. (Adjust the governor as
outlined in Governor Operation, Chapter 6.) Check the turbine for unusual noises,
rubbing, vibration or other signs of distress. Do not continue to operate if any of
these conditions exist. See the Troubleshooting Guide in Chapter 4 for some
possible causes and corrective actions for abnormal operating conditions.

10. Check the overspeed trip by overcoming the governor to actuate the overs peed trip
mechanism. Refer to Governor Operation, Chapter 6, for specific details for
overspeeding the turbine.

CAUTION
Do not operate the turbine more than 2% above the
rated trip speed shown on the turbine nameplate. If the
overspeed trip does not operate within 2% of the
designated speed, shut the turbine down and make
necessary adjustments as described · in Chapter 4,
Overspeed Trip System.

Three consecutive trip speeds within the required range must be recorded to verify
safe trip system operation.
3-6 06/97
Chapter 3
Operation

11. After the speed decreases by 15% to 20% of rated speed, latch the resetting lever
and bring the turbine back up to speed. Operate the turbine for approximately one
hour. Check the bearing temperatures and turbine speed. Listen for unusual noises,
vibration or rubbing. After this period, the turbine can be shut down and coupled to
the driven machine. If the turbine is used with a speed reduction gear or other
special equipment, follow all instructions pertaining to those particular items.

INITIAL START-UP, PRESSURE LUBRICATED TURBINES

1. Before start-up, be sure that the oil pump(s) are primed and the oil reservoir is filled
to the proper level. Start the auxiliary oil pump (if provided) and circulate the
lubricating oil. Check the oil piping for leaks and be sure oil is being delivered to the
bearings.

2. Check the oil temperature (See: Minimum Oil Temperature Before Starting, Table 5-
2) then proceed with the applicable start-up· procedure for Non-condensing or
Condensing Turbines.

3. After the turbine is operating, closely observe oil pressures and temperatures.
Introduce cooling water to the oil cooler as the system warms up. Refer to Table 5-2
for normal oil pressure and temperature ranges.

ROUTINE START-UP, NON-CONDENSING TURBINES

Chapter3
Operation

9. Make necessary governor adjustments to attain desired speed as load is applied.


Position overload valves as required by unit operation.

10. Check the overall operation to determine all conditions to be satisfactory.

OVERLOAD HAND VALVES

Optional hand valves (Figure 4-11) are sometimes used to control the steam flow through
an extra bank of nozzles. These valves can serve three functions:

1. When closed, the valves will provide more efficient turbine operation at reduced load
with normal steam conditions by reducing the nozzle area and thereby reducing the
steam flow.

2. In some applications, overload valves are used to develop the required power by
opening the valves when steam conditions are less than normal (such as
encountered during boiler start-up).

3. Overload valves are sometimes used to develop increased power for meeting
overload requirements with normal steam conditions.

, See Page ii of this manual for overload valve positioning (if supplied) versus turbine
power, speed and operating steam conditions. For the best efficiency and speed control,
open only the overload valves required for the actual steam conditions present and
power required.

NOTE
Overload valve must be positioned either fully open or fully
closed. Turning the stem counterclockwise approximately
1-1/2 turns will open the pilot valve. Turning the stem
approximately 12 additional turns will fully open the main
valve disk. Open all overload valves during start-ups to
insure even heating of casing and prevention of valves
binding in the casing. The overload valves can be fully
closed if not needed when governor control is reached.

CAUTION
Operation of the overload valve, In any other than fully
open or fully closed position, can lead to valve failure
and possible internal damage to the unit.

- For a discussion on Auto-Overload valves, see Supplement #02-86-R1, when supplied.

Chapter 3
Operation

TURBINE SHUTDOWN

CAUTION
Before shutting down turbine, insure the Governor
System and Trip System are in proper working order. If
the operational integrity is uncertain, shut the main inlet
steam valve off to stop the turbine.

1. Shut the turbine down by striking the top of the trip lever by hand.

2. Observe the action of the trip valve and linkage.

3. Close the inlet steam shut-off valve.

NOTE
Shut-off valves, located in the turbine inlet steam piping,
must be closed after the trip valve has closed. Do not use
the trip valve as a long term shut-off valve.

4. If non-condensing, close the exhaust valve and open turbine casing drains.

5. If condensing, shut down the condensing equipment, open the turbine casing drains
and close the sealing steam shut-off valve.

NOTE
Do not apply sealing steam to the packing cases while the
turbine rotor is idle.

6. Allow the rotor to come to a complete stop and cool down for approximately 2 hours
before turning off the cooling water or stopping auxiliary oil pump, if furnished.

7. If the turbine is to be taken out of service for an extended period; follow the storage
instructions in Chapter 1.

OPERATION OF EMERGENCY AND STANDBY TURBINES

It is important that turbines used for emergency and standby services have drain lines
open and isolating valves closed when the turbine is idle. Turbines not used for
extended periods should be inspected and operated occasionally to make certain that
they are in good working condition. Where impractical to operate the turbine, the rotor
should be turned over by hand to introduce oil to the journal bearings (oil ring lubricated
turbines}. If an auxiliary oil pump is furnished (pressure lubricated turbines), oil can be
supplied to the bearings by operating the pump. The introduction of dry, heated air into
the casing during shutdown periods is also advisable to prevent corrosion.

Emergency and standby turbines do not require a warm-up period before applying the
load. They may be placed in service as rapidly as desired. Steam should not be
admitted to the turbine casing by partially opening the inlet steam shut-off valve while the
rotor is stationary. This condition will cause uneven heating of the turbine rotor and
casing, which may result in a distorted casing, bowed rotor shaft or other related
problems.

3-10 06/97
Chapter4
Maintenance

INTRODUCTION

Turbines, like most quality machinery, require periodic maintenance and service. This
chapter supplies turbine disassembly, assembly and adjustment procedures. These
procedures should be a familiar subject to maintenance personnel to assure effective
repair work and proper adjustments to components requiring service. Maintenance
personnel should thoroughly understand, and at all times observe, all safety precautions
related to turbine maintenance. It is of primary importance to ensure the turbine is
isolated from all utilities to prevent the possibility of applying power or steam to the
turbine when performing internal maintenance.

-WARNING-
cLose, LOCK AND TAG ALL ISOLATING VALVES AND
. OPEN ALL DRAINS· TO DEPRESSURIZE THE TURBINE
CASING AND STEAM CHEST BEFORE PERFORMING
ANY INTERNAL TURBINE MAINTENANCE. ALSO, TAKE
NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT POSSIBLE
TURBINE ROTATION DUE TO REVERSE FLOW
THROUGH THE DRIVEN MACHINERY.

Non-destructive type testing is recommended for determining operational reliability of


parts during turbine inspections. If major parts replacement (such as turbine shaft, disks,
blading etc.) becomes necessa,.Y, it is advisable that the repair work be supervised by an
Elliott Company Representative or be done in an Elliott approved repair shop.

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE

Scheduled maintenance inspections are necessary for safe and efficient turbine
operation. Actual intervals between inspections cannot be specified in this manual
because maintenance scheduling is dependent on factors best known by those directly
involved with the turbine and its particular application. Table 4-1 serves as a general
guideline for establishing a scheduled preventative maintenance program.

The actual frequency of required maintenance inspections can only be determined after
carefully considering turbine performance records, maintenance history, corrosion/
erosion rates, tests, observations and anticipated service demands. The established
inspection schedule will usually be consistent with the availability of the turbine,
necessary manpower and an adequate supply of repair parts. At the same time,
scheduled inspections must be frequent enough to avoid unsafe operating conditions,

It is also necessary to test and adjust all safety devices on a definite schedule to ensure
their operational reliability. These devices are designed to prevent injury to personnel
and/or major equipment damage. If these devices are not operated at frequent intervals, ·
they may not work when needed.

TURBINE CASING AND MISCELLANEOUS JOINTS- Refer to Figure 4-1

The Turbine steam joints are carefully made up and factory tested under pressure, to
insure steam tightness. Two types of sealing compounds are used; one is a paste which
is spread on the joints, the other is a plastic string type sealant. These products;
"Copaltite" (paste) and ''Temp-Tite" (plastic string) produce a superior joint seal and are
available from Elliott Co.

NOTE
Plastic string sealant, "Temp-Tite", can be purchased in the
desired diameter and is available on sealed spools. The
plastic sealant, 11 Copaltite", is. available in quart containers.
See Normal Maintenance Parts List (NMPL) for part
numbers.

A combination of paste and plastic sealing compound is used to seal the vertical joints
between the packing cases and turbine casing. The plastic sealant (3/16 inch, 5 mm
wide) and paste compound is used to fill the sealing grooves on the vertical flange faces
the packing cases. A combination of plastic sealant (1/16 inch, 1.6 mm wide) and PE!Ste
compound is used to seal the following steam joints:

1. Steam chest body (1, Figure 4-13) to the turbine casing.

- 2. Govemor valve cover (22, 31, Figure 4-13) to the steam chest body (1, Figure 4-13).

3. Trip valve cover (3, Figure 4-13) to the steam chest body (1, Figure 4-13).

4. Nozzle ring to turbine casing.

5. The horizontal and vertical turbine casing joints.

03/2000 4-3
Chapter4
Maintenance

Because of the high exhaust pressures and resultant temperatures under which the
BYRH and BYRHH turbines operate, particular precautions are taken to seal the steam
joint of the horizontal cover flange. A combination of a paste type sealing compound and
"strings" of a plastic sealer is used. The seal face at the horizontal flange cover or case
is grooved to receive a 3/16 diameter string of plastic compound then coated over with
the paste sealer.

Screw threads subjected to high temperatures often gall during disassembly. It is


recommended that anti-galling compound be applied to the threads of all studs, bolts,
socket head cap screws, and other threads subjected to high temperatures. "Fei-Pro C-
300", a product of Fei-Pro Inc. is approved for this use by Elliott Company.

The joints between the bearing caps and bearing housings may be made up with a thin
coat of oil resistant sealant, such as "#2 Permatex".

Anti-galling compound and sealants should be among the normal maintenance items

PACKING CASE (SHAFT SEALING GLAND) AND CARBON RING SERVICE

The steam end and exhaust end packing cases (10, Figure 4-12), house the carbon ring
assemblies (Figure 4-2). Each carbon ring assembly consists of three carbon segments
and an anti~rotation stop, which are held together by a retainer spring (Figure 4-3). Axial
positioning of the carbon rings is maintained by machined grooves in the packing cases.

The BYRHH Turbine packing case contains a labyrinth seal in combination with four
carbon rings. The labyrinth seal is located inboard of the carbon rings and consists of
four segments held together by two garter springs. The labyrinth seal is held in position
by a rabbit fit in the turbine casing and an anti-rotation pin located in the top half packing
case that fits into a notch in the labyrinth seal.

Packing Case Disassembly- Refer to Figure 4-12

1. Disconnect piping from top half packing cases (BYRHH Turbine).

2. Remove cap screws [1 & 8} from the horizontal and vertical flanges on the top half
packing cases (1 0).

3. Break the horizontal and vertical joints by prying the top half packing cases away
from the bottom halves.

4. Carefully remove the top half packing cases by lifting straight up until they clear the
carbon ring assemblies (9).

Note
If excessive sealant was used or large amounts of boiler
carry over is present, the carbon rings may become "glued"
to the packing case. Should this happen, it is necessary to
chip the carbon segments from the packing case.

Carbon Ring
Removal:

1. Unhook the retaining spring surroun~ing the carbon ring.

2. Remove the anti-rotation stop by sliding it off the retaining spring.

3. Remove the carbon ring segments by rotating them around the rotor shaft.

4. Pull the retaining spring from the packing case.

NOTE
Do not mix carbon ring segments. Mark each ring so it can
be returned to its original location.

5. Clean the packing cases (taking care to clean axial faces of each carbon ring slot),
rotor shaft and all sealing surfaces on the packing case flanges. Blow out the
packing cases with air.

Replacement:

6. Place the carbon ring retaining springs under and part way around the rotor shaft. \

4-6 03/2000
Chapter4
Maintenance

7. Roll the carbon ring segments around the shaft and into the packing case grooves.
Align the match marks on the carbon ring segments to assure proper assembly.

8. Slide the anti-rotation stops onto the retainer springs and position the stops in
notched carbon ring segments.

9. Hook the ends of each retaining spring together and rotate the' carbon rings so the
anti-rotation stops are seated in the anti-rotation. notches in the bottom half packing
cases.

Clearances
The inside diameters of new carbon rings are selected to match to the calculated design
turbine exhaust temperature (Refer to Table 4-2, ~2-1). The inside diameters of used
carbon rings may be slightly larger than new rings. Measuring the carbon rings is difficult,
however, an inside micrometer or snap gages may be used with a fair degree of
accuracy.

The cold clearances may be determined by measuring the inside diameter of the
assembled rings and the diameter of the rotor shaft at sealing areas. The difference
between the measurements is the cold diametral clearance.

An alternate method employing a Dial Indicator may be used. With the carbon rings
assembled and on the shaft, mount a Dial Indicator firmly to any part of the casing. With
the Dial Indicator button reading the top of the carbon ring, zero the dial indicator.
Carefully lift the carbon ring vertically and record the dial reading.

Adjustments .
The carbon rings are not adjustable. Replacement is recommended if excessive steam
leaks from the packing cases. Packing case cleanliness is of the utmost importance in
achieving proper carbon ring seating. If an air supply is available, blow out the packing
cases before replacing the carbon rings. For best results, install new carbon rings in
complete sets.

Labyrinth Seal (BYRHH Turbine Only}


Removal:

1. Unhook the retaining springs surrounding the labyrinth seal which consists of four
segments.

2. Remove the upper segment by sliding it away from the turbine casing and lifting it off
when out from under the casing. Note location of anti-rotation slot in seal.

-- 3. Remove the lower half segments by rolling around to the top of the shaft then
remove as the first segments.

NOTE
Do not mix the labyrinth segments. Mark the segments so
tfley can be returned to the original position.

03/2000 4-7
Chapter4
Maintenance

4. Clean the packing case grooves and rotor shaft (taking care to clean axial faces of
grooves). Clean rabbit fit in turbine casing. Check the intermediate leakoff for
blockage or corrosion. Blow out pa9king case with air.

Replacement:

5. Insert both labyrinth springs into the lower half packing case, under and half way
around rotor shaft.

6. Insert and roll the lower half labyrinth segments into place. Insure the segments are
installed properly.

7. Insert the upper half labyrinth segment positioning the anti-rotation pin slot in the
vertical direction.

8. Align the springs and connect each end of the retaining spring.

Clearances
The Cold clearance may be determined by measuring the inside diameter of the
assembled seal and the diameter of the shaft at the sealing area. The difference
between the measurements is the cold diametral clearance.

The design diametral clearance of Class 1 or 2 rotors is .0155" to .018" (0.39 to 0.46
mm), of a Class 3 rotor is .0135" to .016" (0.34 to 0.41 mm), and of Class 4 or higher
rotor is .0145" to .017" (0.37to 0.43 mm).

Adjustments
Labyrinth seals are not adjustable. Seals experiencing a high leakage rate or with
clearance of .010" {0.25 mm) greater than design should be replaced.

NOTE
Monitoring and tending of the intermediate leakoff pressure,
by use of a good quality gauge at packing case leakoff,
may assist in detecting labyrinth seal wear. Increased wear
will usually result in increased leakoff line pressure.

Packing Case Assembly

1. Clean packing case flange surfaces and mating turbine casing surfaces.

2. Blow out the packing cases with air.

3. Fill the grooves provided in the packing case vertical flange faces with plastic
sealing compound (3/16 inch, 5 mm wide). Cut the sealant to prevent it from
extending beyond the horizontal flange.

4. Apply a thin coat of paste sealing compound to the horizontal flanges and inside bolt
circles of the vertical flange faces (Refer to Figure 4-1).

NOTE
Excessive · paste sealant on packing case flanges may
result in sealant entering the packing cases and adhering to
carbon rings. This may prevent the carbon rings from
seating properly. Keep paste sealant approximately 3/16
inch {5 mm) away from inside edges of flanges to prevent it
from squeezing into carbon ring chambers.

note
On a BYRHH Turbine, be sure the anti-rotation slot of the
labyrinth seal Is vertically positioned in the center of the
rotor shaft.

5. Place top half packing cases in position and replace cap screws (7 & 8, Figure 4-
12).

NOTE
Tum cap screws (7) on vertical flange until snug. Tighten
cap screws (8) on horizontal flange, then tighten cap
screws (7) on vertical flange.

Place ·new plastic sealing string in grooves of BYRH and
BYRHH turbine covers.

3. Lower the casing cover onto the bottom half casing.

4. Seat the dowel pins (5).

5. Tighten bolts (4} at horizontal casing flange, starting with the bolts located closest to
the packing cases.

6. Replace packing cases (10) as described in Packing Case Assembly.

BEARING LINERS - Refer to Figure 4-12

Locating lugs on each bearing liner (15 & 16) engage grooves in the horizontal split of
the steam end bearing housing (21 & 53) and exhaust end bearing pedestal (12 & 54).
This arrangement retains the liners in the proper position. Units with number 1 or 2 rotors
are supplied with oil rings to provide lubrication during operation or startup/shutdown on
pressure lubricated turbines.

Disassembly

1. Remove any wiring, piping, etc., that would interfere with removing the bearing caps.

2. Remove the dowels (14) and bolts (13) from the bearing cap joints.

3. Break the joints by prying the bearing caps away from the bearing housings.

4. Raise the caps approximately 1 inch (25 mm) and pry the top liners (16) (at the
locating lugs) from the bearing caps with a screwdriver. This will release the oil rings
(49) (if supf?lied) from the caps.

4-12 03/2000
Chapter4
Maintenance

CAUTION
Attempting to remove the bearing caps, without prying
out the top bearing liners, can distort the oil rings.
Distorted oil rings will not rotate to provide lubrication,
thereby resulting in bearing failures.

5. Remove bearing caps and the top journal bearing liners.

6. Lift the rotor slightly and remove the bottom bearing liners by rolling them away from
the locating lugs. The rotor shaft will rest on the shaft sleeve seals (47) when the
bottom liners are removed.

Clearances
Bearing liners used with rotors designated Class 1 and 2 provide a cold diametral
clearance of .0075 inch (0.19 mm) to .010·inch (0.25 mm). Diametral journal bearing
clearances are .0055 to .008 inch (0.14 to 0.20 mm) when turbine is equipped with a
class 3 or higher. (Refer to Cold Clearance Diagrams, Figure 4-14, 4-15).

To Check The Bearing Liner Clearances:

1. With the top liners (16) removed, place a piece of plastigage axially on the shaft
journals.

2. Place the top bearing liners (16) over the shaft journals.

3. Place the oil rings (49) (if supplied) in the slotted guides in the top bearing liners,
taking care so as not to disturb plastigage.

4. Replace the bearing caps. Be sure the top bearing liner locating lugs engage the
grooves in the bearing caps.

EXHAUST END BEARING PEDESTAL AND STEAM END BEARING HOUSING


ALIGNMENT- Refer to Figure 4-12

To obtain the correct bearing and rotor shaft journal contact, the bores of the exhaust
end bearing pedestal and the steam end bearing housing must be in parallel and angular
alignment. Dowel pins (25), pressed into the turbine casing, position the pedestal and
bearing housing in horizontal and vertical parallel alignment. Spacers (24), located
between the pedestal and turbine casing and between the steam end bearing housing
and turbine casing, are used to correct any angular misalignment and to position the
turbine rotor axially in the turbine casing.

To Check The Bearing Housing Alignment

1. Remove the rotor assembly from the turbine casing and clean the shaft journals.

2. Install bottom half journal bearing liners (15) in the bearing pedestal and steam end
bearing housing. Be sure the liners are properly seated. Liners should be clean
· and free of any oil.

3. Apply a very light coating of Prussian blue to both shaft journals.

4. Lower the rotor assembly until the full weight of the rotor is supported by the journal
bearing liners.

NOTE
Bolting down of the bearing caps will insure bearings are
seated.

5. Rotate the rotor assembly slowly one tum in the direction of rotation.

NOTE
Ensure the rotor shaft is seated on the bottom of the

To Correct Any Misalignment

1. Place shim stock, in increments of .002 inch (0.05 mm), behind the spacers (24) to
correct the misalignment.

2. Recheck the bearing contact and continue to add shims to achieve proper
alignment.

3. After the correct bearing contact is obtained, the shims must be removed from each
spacer, and the thickness of the opposite spacer altered accordingly. (Surface
grinding is the preferred method).

EXAMPLE
If it is necessary to add .004 inch (0.1 0 mm} shim thickness
to the two bottom spacers, to achieve correct alignment;
.004 inch (0.10 mm) must be ground from the two top
spacers to maintain the alignment after the shims are
removed.

4. Recheck the bearing contact, after the ground spacers have been installed.

ROTOR LOCATING BEARING- Refer to Figure 4-12

{If Kingsbury Type Thrust bearing is supplied see supplement 03-91 located in Accessory
section). ·

The rotor locating bearing (50) maintains the correct axial position of the rotor assembly
to the nozzle ring. The bearing is mounted on the rotor shaft with the shielded side of the
bearing toward the trip body. A beveled retainer ring (51) holds the bearing in·place on
the rotor shaft. The outer bearing race fits into a groove in the steam end bearing
housing (21}, and is prevented from rotating by an anti-rotation tab which is permanently
attached to the outer race. The anti-rotation tab fits into a slot at the horizontal split of
the bearing housing.

Clearances
To check the axial bearing clearance, an axial rotor float check must be made:

1. Mount a dial indicator perpendicular to a vertical shaft face (such as the coupling
hub or a rotor disk).

2. Shift the rotor as far as possible in both axial directions while observing the dial
indicator. The normal axial rotor float is from .010 inch (0.25 mm) to .018 inch (0.46
mm). In no case should the total indicator reading exceed .025 inch (0.64 mm).

Note
Excessive axial float may be the result of bearing case
.wear. lf wear is found in rotor locating bearing groove, the
bearing case must be replaced.

Disassembly

1. With the rotor removed from the turbine casing; disassemble and remove the trip
body as described in Trip Body Removal Section.

2. Remove the retainer ring (51) with ring expanding pliers.

3. Remove the locating bearing (50) with a bearing puller.

Adjustments
The rotor locating bearing is not adjustable. A rotor locating bearing must be replaced
when the axial rotor float reaches .025 inch (0.64 mm).

Assembly

1. Heat the bearing in an oil bath to 200°F (94°C). Install the bearing on the shaft by
using a sleeve type bearing driver which contacts only the inner bearing race. Seat
the bearing solidly against the machined shoulder on the shaft (43).

Note
Do NOT use an open flame to heat ball bearings

03/2000 4-23
Chapter4
Maintenance

NOTE
Be sure the shielded side of the bearing is positioned
toward the trip body (52).

2. Replace the retainer ring (51). Seat the ring firmly in the groove on the rotor shaft,
with the beveled edge of the ring positioned toward the trip body.

3. Replace the_ trip body as outlined in Trip Body Replacement Section.

4. Flush the locating bearing with oil before replacing the bearing cap.

NOZZLE RING AND REVERSING BUCKET ASSEMBLY- Refer to Figure 4-12

The nozzle ring (33) directs the steam flow from the steam ring to the buckets of the first
rotor disk (44). Steam exits the buckets of the first disk and passes through the reversing
bucket assembly (37) which directs it into the buckets on the second rotor disk (45). The
reversing bucket assembly is positioned between the two rotor disks and is bolted to the
nozzle ring. Two styles of reversing bucket assembly may be supplied. The standard
version uses a straight sided holder to fit the bucket in position. It is positioned through
the use of spacers. The holder must be correctly installed for the proper rotation. The tip
seal version is used to increase stage efficiency by limiting radial steam leakage from the
buckets. It is mounted to the nozzle ring with bolts and spacers. Clearances must be
checked on reinstallation.

3. Remove the nozzle ring bolts (34 & 36), lockwashers (35) and nozzle ring (33) from
the casing.

Clearances
The clearance between the nozzle ring (33) and the shroud on the first rotor disk (44)
must be checked whenever the rotor assembly, nozzle ring or reversing blade assembly
is removed or replaced. This clearance is a minimum of .050 inch (1.27 mm) and a
maximum of .072 inch (1.83 mm). The clearance can be measured with a feeler gage on
the left and right of the turbine. The clearance must be taken with the rotor in running or
downstream position. (Thrust towards driven machine.)

Adjustments
Inspect the nozzle ring and reversing blade assembly annually. Clean scale or boiler
compound deposits as necessary. Replace eroded parts as needed. The nozzle ring
clearance is adjustable by changing thickness of washers at steam end bearing case.

Assembly

1. Clean the casing and nozzle ring sealing surfaces.

2. Apply a thin coat of paste type sealer and plastic string compound to the nozzle ring
sealing surface on the steam end turbine casing (Reference Figure 4-1).

3. Apply anti-galling compound to the threads of the nozzle ring bolts (34 & 36).

note
When inspecting the nozzle ring and reversing bucket
holder, the reuse of bolts is not recommended. New bolts
and lockwashers should be used. The bolts used are
specially treated to withstand the pressures and
temperatures of steam turbines.

4. Bolt the nozzle ring to the turbine casing. Be sure that lockwashers (35) are used
with all bolts.

5. Place lockwashers {39) on the reversing bucket assembly bolts (38) and apply anti-

2. Remove bearing caps to check radial clearances (A, Cold Clearance Diagram) with
feeler gages.

OVERSPEED TRIP SYSTEM • Refer to Figure 4-8

The overspeed trip pin assembly is contained in the trip body mounted on the turbine
rotor shaft When the turbine speed increases above the rated operating speed,
centrifugal force exerted on the trip pin {1, Figure 4-8) increases. When the centrifugal
force overcomes the force of the trip pin spring {2), the weighted end of the pin protrudes
from the trip body. The pin strikes the plunger assembly (7): forcing it against the
adjustable jack screw {8) in the bottom of the hand trip lever. The lever pivots on a
shoulder stud; causing the top of the lever to move away from the resetting lever. This
movement disengages the latch from the resetting lever knife edge and allows the
closing spring to pull the trip valve closed. This stops the steam flow through the turbine.

-WARNING-
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE TRIP
VALVE BE BLOCKED OR HELD OPEN TO RENDER THE
TRIP SYSTEM IN-OPERATIVE. OVERRIDING THE TRIP
SYSTEM, AND ALLOWING THE TURBINE TO EXCEED
THE RATED (NAMEPLATE) TRIP SPEED, MAY RESULT
IN FATAL INJURY TO PERSONNEL AND EXTENSIVE
TURBINE DAMAGE. ALWAYS CLOSE ALL ISOLATING
VALVES AND OPEN DRAINS TO DEPRESSURIZE THE
TURBINE CASING AND STEAM CHEST BEFORE

Do not weld blocks (25) to the governor valve seat (23).
This may distort seating surfaces.

If using the ring in place of the welded blocks, measure the depth of the valve seat
from the face of the steam chest cover. Measure tl}e rabbit fit strap height on the
steam chest cover. Subtract the rabbit height plus .015" (.38 mm) from the valve
seat depth and grind the face of the valve seat ring to obtain this thickness.

ChapterS
Lubrication

INTRODUCTION

This chapter describes the basic oil requirements, care of lubricating oils and the
methods of lubricating YR Turbines.

Proper lubrication is a primary factor in achieving maximum trouble-free operation. Only


the best grades of oil should be used for turbine lubrication. Using the best oils will help
eliminate costly downtime due to bearing failures and other lubrication related problems.

BASIC OIL REQUIREMENTS

Elliott Company does not recommend specific brands of oil. Elliott equipment owners
should consult reliable oil suppliers regarding their lubrication requirements. The oil
should be a premium quality mineral-based lubricant {diester-based when using synthetic
oils) which will readily separate from water and have minimum tendency to emulsify or
foam when agitated. It should have high rust and oxidation resistance and minimum
sludge, lacquer, varnish or resin forming tendencies. In addition to these requirements,
Tables 5-1 and 5-2 contain other necessary information to aid in selecting the proper
lubricating oil for your turbine.

Turbines driving through speed reduction or increasing gears are often pressure
lubricated by the gear lubrication system. Refer to the gear manufacturer's instructions .
for gear oil requirements. (Consult Elliott Company before deviating from the values
shown on Table 5-1.)

CAUTION
Turbines designed for diester-based synthetic oil must
not use mineral based oils. Use of oil- other than a
diester-based synthetic oil may result in severe damage
to the bearing cases, bearings and rotor.

CARE OF OIL

Lubricating oil should be maintained in first class condition by preventing contamfnation


from moisture, dust, dirt or other impurities. An oil maintenance analysis program is
recommended for determining the frequency of oil changes. Consult your oil supplier for
assistance in establishing a program that will meet your specific lubrication maintenance
requirements.

METHODS OF LUBRICATION

The turbines are furnished with either an oil ring lubrication system or a pressure
lubrication system.

Pressure lubricated turbines equipped with a Class 1 or Class 2 rotor (rotor class
designated on Page ii), are also furnished with oil rings. The oil rings provide bearing
lubrication during turbine start-up and shutdown. This arrangement employs a standpipe,
installed in the bearing housing oil drain connection to maintain the proper oil level for oil
ring operation. .

06/97 5-1
ChapterS
Lubrication

Turbines equipped with a Class 3 or higher rotors are pressure lubricated arid use an ~
auxiliary oil pump for bearing lubrication during turbine start-up and shutdown. t
Standpipes and oil rings are not used with this arrangement.

Turbines designed for diester-based lubricating oils use the oil ring lubrication system.

Oil Ring Lubrication - Refer to Figure 5-1


Standard YR Turbines are oil ring lubricated. The oil ring lubrication system is a simple
system which employs two oil rings to deliver oil to each of the turbine bearings. The
rings, approximately twice the diameter of the shaft journals, are rotated by the journals
and carry oil from the bearing housing reservoirs to the top half bearing liners. Rotating
journals carry the oil to the clearance between the bearing liners and the shaft journals.
Oil drains from the ends of each bearing liner and returns to the bearing housing
reservoirs to be cooled and recycled. Oil discharged from the steam end journal bearing
floods the rotor locating bearing before draining into the bearing housing reservoir. Table
5-3 gives the recommended Trip and Alarm settings for monitoring bearing and oil
temperatur~s. ·

A cooling water tube arrangement, as shown in Figure 5-1, is used to cool the oil in the
bearing housing reservoirs of oil ring lubricated turbines.

Oil ring lubrication systems have no means of filtering solids from the oil; therefore,
frequent oil changes are necessary to insure a clean oil supply to the bearings.

Shielded glass oilers (Figure 5-2), installed on the sides of the bearing housings, maintain
a constant reservoir oil level when. the turbine is oil ring lubricated. Oil must be visible in
the oiler bottles af all times during operation. Empty bottles indicate possible low
reservoir oil levels. Care must also be taken to avoid overfilling the bearing housing
reservoirs. High oil levels will restrict oil ring rotation which may cause inadequate
bearing lubrication.

YR Turbines require an oil level range between 3.55" (90 mm) and 3.68" (93 mm) below
the unit centerline. The oilers are adjusted at the factory, but should be checked during·
oil changes. To assure the. oil.level is correct, tum the level adjuster crossarms to the
height indicated (15/16" on Figure 5-2). Lock the crossarms in prace by tightening the
upper crossarm. Insure 1/8" washer is present in the level ad"JUSter assembly as shown in
Figure 5-2.

To Change Oil in Bearing Housing Reservoir:

1. Remove 3/4 inch drain plug from bottom of bearing housing reservoir.
Flush oil sump with high quality solvent and wipe clean with lint free rags.

NOTE
Mechanical cleaning of the bearing housing sumps is not
recommended. Contact Elliott Service Office for comments
and cautions.

2. Replace plug after draining bearing housing.

3. Remove oiler bottle from lower reservoir (Figure 5-2).

4. Fill bearing housing reservoir by pouring oil into the lower bearing housing reservoir,
approximately 3 pints (1.3 litres), until the oil level reaches the bottom of the level
adjuster crossarms in the oiler.

5. Fill oiler bottle with oil and install in the lower reservoir.

NOTE
Ensure bottle is seated on level adjuster crossarms.

6. Tighten knurled thumb screw to secure bottle in the lower reservoir.

Pressure Lubrication
Details of pressure lubrication systems vary widely. Each system is designed to meet the
turbine application requirements. Factors such as the type of driven equipment,

'

'

operational and environmental conditions and individual preferences in the selection of


various components, may affect the specific design of the system. ~

Pressure lubrication systems are generally similar in that each employs a pump to draw
oil from a reservoir and deliver it filtered and cooled under pressure to the bearings and
other parts requiring lubrication. The oil then drains by gravity flow, back to the reservoir
to be recirculated. Oil system drawings are included at the end of this chapter to show
specific details of the oil system supplied on this turbine.

In most cases, the oil supply piping contains an oil filter, oil cooler and a pressure control
device. Twin oil coolers and filters are sometimes used in the pressure lubrication
system. This arrangement allows the cooler or filter to be isolated for maintenance or
repairs without shutting down the system. ·

Various types of optional monitoring, control and safety devices can be used with
pressure lubrication systems. Among these devices are pressure and temperature
indicators, pressure and temperature actuated switches, oil flow sight glasses, oil level ·
indicators, auxiliary pumps, alarms and emergency shutdown devices. Refer to Chapter
7, Accessories, for applicable· details of optional lubrication equipment.

SELECTING LUBRICATING OILS

The following tables are to be used as guidelines in selecting lubricating oils for your YR
Turbine. These guidelines are not intended to restrict the oil supplier to a definite set of
numbers to which he must adhere. It is the intent to indicate the general service
requirements and leave the particular recommendations to the oil supplier.

NOTE

1. Column "A" {Table 5-1) provides the general guidelines


for turbines lubricated by a turbine shaft driven pump or
by the driven machine.

2. Column "B" {Table 5-1) shows the acceptable general


guidelines for turbines lubricated from gear oil systems.
Consult Elliott Company before deviating from the values
shown, to insure gear oil requirements are compatible
with the turbine.

3. Synthetic, diester based oils {Table S..2), are used only


on ring oiled turbines as specified ·on unit outline
drawing. Tags on each bearing case will also indicate
· synthetic oil is required.

T Governor System

INTRODUCTION

This chapter provides lubrication, operation and maintenance instructions for the Elliott T
Governor System. The T Governor system employs a Woodward, Mechanical Hydraulic
Speed Control Governor.

The Governor is bolted to an adapter which is mounted on the steam end bearing
housing. The Governor drive shaft is coupled to the trip body by a flexible coupling. The
Governor valve lever, adjustable connecting rod, and terminal shaft lever connect the
governor rotary terminal (output) shaft to the Governor valve.

LUBRICATION· Refer to Figure 6-1

The Governor has a self contained oil reservoir with a 1.75 quart (1.7 litre} capacity. A
breather, located on the top of the Governor, vents the reservoir and also serves as a
plug for the oil filler hole. An oil level sight glass on the side of the Governor indicates
the operating oil level. A reservoir drain plug is located in the Governor end cover.

To replenish the oil supply; remove the breather and fill the Governor until oil is visible in
the sight glass. A quality turbine oil having a viscosity of 100 SUS at 100°F (14mm2ts at
sooc) to 220 SUS at 100oF (26 mm2ts at sooC) is recommended. Most SAE oils,
without a tendency to foam, are acceptable.

It is advisable to change the oil at regular intervals to ensure trouble-free operation and
long governor life. ·

CAUTION
Operating the Governor with dirty oil or with a low oil
level can cause the Governor to malfunction and result
in possible damage to the turbine and/or governor.

OPERATION

Principle Of Operation - Refer to Figure 6-2


The Governor is coupled to the trip body, and driven by the turbine shaft. The Governor
uses mechanical force to sense the turbine speed, and hydraulic force to correct the
speed. The hydraulic force is generated by an internal oil pump. The pump draws oil
from the governor reservoir and discharges it to a spring loaded accumulator which
stores high pressure oil to help maintain the full work capacity of the Governor. A relief
valve, built into the accumulator, maintains 150 psig (10 bar) operating oil pressure in the
governor oil passages.

Spring loaded flyweights sense the turbine speed. When the speed changes, centrifugal
force causes the flyweights to pivot outward or inward. The flyweights actuate the pilot
valve plunger which opens or closes a control port in the pilot valve bushing. The control
port directs the control oil to or from the bottom side of the power piston.

The power piston is connec:;ted through linkage to the rotary terminal (output) shaft.
Control oil moves the power piston. The motion is transmitted mechanically through the
terminal shaft and connecting Governor valve linkage, to position the turbine Governor
valve.

The T Governor is a Droop Governor which indicates the turbine speed decrease with
increase load. The droop setting from the factory is 6%. This indicates from no load to
full load the governor speed will droop by 6%. Directions for adjusting this value to
increase speed stability is given in the accompanying Woodward Manual.

Initial Start-Up - Refer to Figure 6-3

1. Fill the Governor with oil and check for signs of leakage.

2. Check the Governor linkage for ease of movement.

3. Check the linkage jam nuts, set screws and shoulder saews to insure they are
tight.

4. Tum the speed adjusting screw to minimum speed (counterclockwise).

5. Start the turbine in accordance with the initial start-up procedures, given in
Chapter 3, and check the Governor for oil·leakage, vibration and ease of linkage
operation.

6. After the turbine is thoroughly warmed up and operating satisfactorily at minimum


speed; slowly increase· speed, by turning the speed adjwsting screw clockwise,
until the turbine is operating at rated speed.

7. Continue to monitor the overall Governor operation for any abnormal conditions.

NOTE
Due to the design characteristics of the Governor the
operating temperature may often exceed 2000F (94oC).
Continuous operation at this temperature is acceptable and
does not exceed the design limits. The Governor may feel
unusually hot to the touch, but this is not an .indiCation of
overheating.

· 8. After the turbine has been operated satisfactonly at rated speed (for
approximately 1 hour), check the overspeed trip by turning the speed adjusting
screw full travel in the clockwise direction while closely monitoring the turbine
speed. If the rated trip speed cannot be obtained by turning the adjusting screw,
it will be necessary to overcome the Governor,· by placing a bar between the
Governor valve lever and the valve cover and slowly prying the Governor valve
open.

CAUTION
Pry the valve evenly and squarely from the valve body.
Uneven force on the valve stem can bend the stem ·and
cause binding. Also, monitor the turbine speed closely.
If the turbine does not trip within 2% of the rated speed,
strike the hand trip lever and adjust the overspeed trip.
(Refer to Chapter 4.)

Routine Start-Up .
Start the turbine as outlined in Routine Start-Up procedures, Chapter 3. Monitor turbine
speed and tum the speed adjusting screw as required to bring lhe turbine to the desired
speed. ·
