ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
Indentation is acceptable when there are no more than 2 dents of
0.2mm in a 50X50 mm section of target plate.
PRECAUTIONS
1.
2.
3.
Check that all pipes are supported properly during blow down.
Necessary safety precautions must be taken such as fencing of the area
and providing ear protection against the inevitable noise generated
during blow down process.
No one should move around the blowing area

Procedure:
Place the dummy flanges in cooling water inlet
and outlet line of the condenser.
Prepare a temporary pipe line for flushing
Pump the water from cooling pond till water
flows out on top of cooling tower and then
switch off the pump.
Drain the water .
Repeat this procedure until the water is clean.

BEARING CLEARENCE
Place the bottom bearing shells and load the
rotor on bearings.
Place a lead wire of 0.7mm thick with a coat
of grease circumferentially around the top
half of the journal.
Place the top half of bearing shell with its
bearing cap and tighten it.
Remove the crushed lead wire and measure
the thickness of the crushed lead wire which
gives the existing bearing diametrical clearance

To check various pressure settings with in the lube oil and control oil
system
To check vibration level with in limits
Governor take over
To check the over speed trip and electrical trips are functioning correctly
To prove performance of machine and to satisfy customer
Check oil level in oil tank through oil level gauge and temperature of
the oil should be minimum 35deg c
Ensure that cooling water to oil cooler, condenser,GVC is flowing
Start the motor driven barring gear. An interlock ensures that the baring gear
can not be started before bearing oil pressure is established i.e 1.5kg/sq.cm
Run barring gear for a period of 12 hours, if turbine is started first time for
an SCG 3 turbine.
Check the vibration level are with in limits
Allow sealing steam for laby packing's

Crack open the steam supply isolating valve and warm up the
steam pipe line to turbine SEV
Reasons for warm up :
To avoid uneven expansion of pipe line, rotor and casing
To avoid water hammering effect
Start GVC blower
Initially lift the HP actuator lever
Gradually open the SEV, which should be sufficient for
warming nozzles and casing.
After few minutes, when the turbine warmed through and all
water has been expelled, then partially close the turbine drains
