Vacuum Killing

1. Close the air valve of ejector, which is in service
2. Close the steam valve of ejector, which is in service
3. When the vacuum becomes -0.2 kg/cm2 close the gland sealing control & its
isolating valve.
4. Open the vacuum breaker valve
5. Close the steam valve of gland steam condenser
6. Close the steam valve of all ejectors and gland steam supply-isolating valve
is in closed condition.

Start up (Rolling) of the Turbine
1. Ensure that machine was on barring gear with all oil pumps on auto mode.
2. Ensure that ACW is in running condition.
3. Ensure that MCW is running condition.
4. Warm up vent near ESV to kept open condition
5. Open the drains main steam line
6. Open the bypass valve of main steam line. And wait for some time and then
open main steam stop valve.
7. Ensure that all drains connected to surge tank was in open condition.
8. Open the drains of 9 ata line and charge the line.
9. Charge the line up to starting ejector (Hogging Ejector) when pressure is more
than 9 kg/cm2 and temperature more than 190 Deg.c
10. Start vacuum pulling
11. When vacuum reaches 0.2 kg/cm
2
charge gland sealing line and maintain
gland sealing pressure 0.1 Kg/cm
2

12. Take ejector of gland steam condenser into service
13. Note all Turbine related parameters(oil, steam and water)
14. Main steam Pressure / temperature at Turbine inlet should be 85 85 Kg/cm2
and more than 350-380 Deg c
15. Ensure that class B trip in DCS was healthy except trip oil pressure very low.
16. Turbine to be reset from DCS open command to remote engagement solenoid
valve and then open command to opening to ESV
17. ESV open indication will be come in DCS/TCP
18. During rolling watch Turbine related parameters.
19. Barring Gear will disengaged to be ensured from local & DCS
20. Above 700-rpm stop jacking oil pump.
21. First soaking speed 800 rpm(ideal speed) , second soaking speed is 2000 rpm
