(VP-18-102-C-235-011-SK-014)
- SGFM0014 Positioning of piping

During piping installation, check that its connection is performed in accordance with the
instructions on the piping drawings: stressing, support adjustment, suspension adjustment,
etc.

While connecting the pipes, maintain an alignment check between the compressor and the
turbine with two dial indicators.

NOTE: This shows if the pipes pull the compressor or the turbine out of an
alignment.
5.2.3. Final alignment check

Refer to section 5.1.3 for detailed instructions.

Rotate equipment shaft in normal direction of rotation only.

Reverse rotation of the equipment can cause seal damage.

5.2.3.1. The final alignment of the machines takes place after the following:

- The complete installation of the base and the auxiliaries.

- The final fitting-up of all the pipes.
- The adjustment of the suspensions and the unlocking of the gas piping spring boxes.
- The determination and positioning of the different fixed points.

Monitor both face and bore dial indicators while tightening header pipe
flange bolts. If alignment changes, remove bolts and reposition header
pipes. No header preload on the compressor and turbine is permitted.
It is strictly forbidden to correct the parallelism of flanges by adjusting
the tightening.

5.2.3.2. The placement and installation of the flexible coupling spacer shall take place after the
following:

- The inspection and final acceptance of the machines alignment by the customer or by
his representative.
- The final verification of the distance between the coupling hubs.
- Turbine uncoupled run.

It will be necessary to refer to the coupling supplier's drawing to determine the number of
shims to be positioned to respect the "prestress" linked to the expansion of the mobile
elements.

Refer to : - ACC012748 COUPLING DRAWING

5.2.4. Oil system flushing

Refer to: - IPLSH001748 (IPLSH000748 P&ID) Lube Oil Console System P&ID
(VP-18-102-C-235-011-SK-019)
- IPLSH011748 (IPLSH000748 P&ID) Lube Oil Shaft Line P&ID
(VP-18-102-C-235-011-SK-019)
- IPLSH012748 (IPLSH000748 P&ID) Control Oil System P&ID
(VP-18-102-C-235-011-SK-019)

Refer to section 2.3 for lubricant characteristics.

The lube oil piping must be flushed to ensure that all piping is clean. That must be done
after the installation has been completed.

Before flushing the lube oil system, check that:

- Chemical cleaning and passivation of oil connecting piping fabricated on site have been
performed (refer to "piping pickling").
- The oil reservoir is filled up with oil for flushing.
- Protection removal has been performed.
- All limit flanges have been connected
- All separately packed instruments have been re-installed.
- All electrical and instrumentation connections have been carried out and tested.
- The main switch of the electric power for motors, heater, control and instrumentation is
ON and the power is available.
- Control cubicle is operating.
- The direction of the rotation of the electric drive motors for lube oil pumps is correct.
- Check during one hour, motors and pumps operate correctly (no excessive vibrations or
temperatures).
- The electrical heater is energized; check the oil temperature in the reservoir (TI-5903).

NOTE: The heater remains interlocked if the oil reservoir level is below minimum;
it will be necessary to inhibit the low level alarm (LAL-5901) for the
flushing operations.

- The position of the transfer valve of the oil filters is correct.

- Alternate flow of oil through both filters.

NOTE: Be careful when removing and reconnecting the oil inlet and outlet piping
to keep dirt from entering these openings. Provide covers for the
openings. Save all gaskets removed when disconnecting piping for
jumpers and re-use gaskets when reconnecting piping
Control / safety oil circuit

Depending on the pump flow rate, rinsing can be made at the same time as lube oil rinsing
or separately.
The various piping systems can be separated by installing blind flanges and hoses.

All components limiting the oil flow must be either removed (as applicable):
- Diaphragms
- Non-return valve
- Solenoid valve
- Internal parts of control valve servo-motors

Or by-passed:
- trip valve
- actuator
- overspeed tripping device

NOTE: Normally, parts which are considered clean or difficult to clean after the oil
piping flushing, are by-passed during flushing.
All pipes that are not flushed shall be thoroughly cleaned before re-
assembly.

Oil system flushing:

Refer to: - SGFM0011 Oil System Flushing

- SGFM0012 Filling of Lubricant Charge

NOTE: The circulation shall be alternate from one filter to the other one. Operate
both the main and auxiliary lube oil pumps to flush all the pump piping.

After system is clean, drain flushing oil from reservoir, cooler and open the low points.
Drain oil filters, and install new elements.

Remove temporary hoses and restore the main lube oil system to normal operation.
Clean the oil reservoir.
Fill reservoir to normal operating level using correct lubricating oil (respect the grade given
in the THERMODYN specification), up to the rundown level : 3227L.

Take care during these operations not to enter any particles inside the system.
Screen oil when filling reservoir.
5.2.5. Adjustment and calibration of instruments

Set point values, see:

- RNTIC060748 PLC Inputs / Outputs list
(VP-18-102-C-235-011-SK-020)

Refer to: - SGFM0038 Calibration form

After the installation and connection of all regulation, safety or control instruments, it is
necessary to perform their calibration by establishing calibration standard sheets (supplier's
form or Thermodyn's form). For each type of device, it would be wise to refer to the
supplier's manual and to the diagrams of the different circuits.

This operation can be carried out before or after the electrical connections or the air, gas,
oil, etc. connections.

NOTE: Look for evidence of obvious physical damage, such as loose or broken
wires, or signs of arcing.

The calibration of the regulating valves shall be combined with the general inspection of the
control loops and if possible in real scale.
5.2.6. Calibration of relief valves

Refer to the specification SGFM0022 – Calibration of relief valves.

5.2.7. Checking of alarms and shutdowns

NOTE: Ensure that the system wiring conforms to the electrical schematic,
interconnecting and wiring diagrams.

Refer to: - RPLIC001748 Interconnecting diagram.

(VP-18-102-C-235-011-SK-012)

This sequence obligatorily takes place before the commissioning of the rotating equipment
and after the finality of all connections. It consists in systematically and separately verifying
each alarm and each safety device pertaining to the protection of the machines and the
auxiliaries. Each safety device can be tested in real natural scale or by simulation by
verifying its outcome and result.

Particular attention should be given to the safety devices which provoke an emergency stop
of the turbo-compressor.

5.2.8. Checking of the logic sequences and anti-surge regulation

NOTE: Check all cabling and wiring against the available documentation before
starting PLC checkout. It is very easy to cross-wire cables and
connections in these systems.

All of this operation consists in verifying, by simulation, each regulation loop and the
sequential logics which ensue.

Loop checks are performed to verify that each regulation loop and critical protective circuits
are operational.

Particular attention should be given to the satisfactory functioning of the compressor anti-
surge regulation by causing the flow rate / pressure / temperature parameters to vary.

The opening time of the anti-surge valve, at an emergency stop of the compressor, must
be verified to overcome any possible anomalies. In addition, to the anti-surge opening and
closing times, the process sequencing valves opening and closing times shall also be
noted and inputted into the sequence logic in order to minimise nuisance alarms.

All loops shall be recorded on the on-site test sheet. Refer to SGFM 0034.
