produced in the system, emitting the fume, returning the oil drop to oil tank, so as to reduce
the pollution to the environment, guarantee oil system safe and reliable. In addition, in order
to prevent negative pressure too high in the chamber of each bearing pedestal and water go
into the oil caused by turbine gland steam leak-off into the bearing pedestal, a set of air door
has been designed on the fume exhaust unit to control the fume exhaust capacity, to keep the
bearing pedestal at micro negative pressure.

nitrogen-filled pressure is 0.06MPa, and is installed on operation platform.
4. Operation of oil system
Before starting the system, make sure the oil quality in the system meets the cleanness
requirement of startup operation, and the oil tank level is at the highest. When the oil tank
temperature is lower than 20℃，close the cooling water valve of the oil cooler, heat the oil
temperature to 35℃, then close the electrical heater, start the main oil pump and the fume
exhaust fan, force the lube oil system to circulate, after the oil temperature reaches 45℃, open
the cooling water valve of the oil cooler, adjust the adjustable non-return valve to keep the
main pipe oil pressure within 0.12～0.14MPa. Interlock protection is provided in auxiliary oil
pump, emergency oil pump, turning gear and oil pressure of the lube oil main pipe, when the
oil pressure of the lube oil main pipe is lower than 0.1MPa(g), warn and start the auxiliary
pump, when the lube oil main pipe oil pressure is lower than 0.07MPa, start the emergency
pump and shutdown, and stop the turning gear when the lube oil main pipe oil pressure is
lower than 0.03MPa. It must make low pressure interlock protection test every half a month.

This system includes 3 return oil main pipes, the front bearing pedestal lube oil return oil
(Φ141.3×6.55), rear bearing pedestal lube oil(Φ114.3×6.02)and feed water pump, return to
dirty area. Installation of the return oil pipe must be toward the oil tank with a gradual slope
of not less than 1, so as to make the return oil in the pipe in a half full status, beneficial to the
oil fume of each bearing pedestal to flow to the oil tank through the space above the oil
surface, then emit to atmosphere after separation by the fume exhaust unit. After the return oil
returns to the oil tank dirty oil area, it enters the clean oil area after filtered by the strainer.
6. Lube oil temperature
