1. Overview on steam turbine main and auxiliary equipments


1.1 Overview on steam turbine
This steam turbine is a subcritical, single-shaft, reheating, three-cylinder four-exhaust, condensing steam
turbine. HP-IP-LP (high pressure/intermediate pressure/low pressure) cylinder is of double-shell cylinder
structure; HP-IP (high pressure/intermediate pressure) part is the combined cylinder reverse arrangement, and
LP (low pressure) part is for symmetric double split flow. The steam turbine part shafting is composed of one
HP-IP rotor and two LP rotors, etc. Except front-end bearing pedestal for floor-type, all are semi-floor
pedestals. Main steam reaches main steam valve (MSV) and regulating steam valve on both sides of steam
turbine respectively through one main steam pipe from the boiler, and enters the steam chamber installed in
HP cylinder through 4 flexible steam conducts, connected to 2 steam inlet pipe joints respectively at upper,
lower half of HP-IP outer cylinder symmetrically. HP flow path is composed of one-stage single-row
governing stage (impulse) and nine-stage pressure stage (reaction). HP nozzle block is installed in steam
chamber, and nine-stage diaphragm is installed on HP diaphragm sleeve, supported by the cylinder. Main
steam enters the steam chamber and regulating stage through 2 inlets of 2 main steam valves and 4 regulating
steam valves on both sides of HP-IP cylinder respectively at upper, lower of central HP-IP cylinder, and then
runs through HP flow path stages.
Some HP steams are extracted to #1 HP heater through the 1st section steam extraction opening
downwards after HP stage 6. HP cylinder exhausts gas from the lower part of double exhaust opening through
cold reheat steam pipe to return to the boiler reheater, some steams of which are extracted to #2 HP heater
through the 2nd section steam extraction opening. The reheat steams out of boiler reheater arrive at reheat
main steam valve and reheat regulating steam valve on both sides of steam turbine through hot reheat steam
pipe, and enter into IP cylinder from both sides at upper, lower part.
Adopt reaction pressure stage completely for IP cylinder with 6 stages divided into 2 parts. Part 1 is LP
stage 1-3, and the diaphragm is installed on IP #1 diaphragm sleeve; Part 2 is IP stage 4-6, and the diaphragm
is installed on IP #2 diaphragm sleeve. IP #1 diaphragm sleeve is installed on IP inner cylinder; IP #2
diaphragm sleeve is installed on HP-IP outer cylinder.
Some steams from IP cylinder stage 3 are extracted to #3 HP heater through the 3rd section steam
extraction opening at HP-IP outer cylinder upper half part. IP cylinder upward steam exhaust is imported into
the middle part of two LP cylinders respectively through 2 IP-LP connecting pipes. Meanwhile, the bottom of
IP-LP cylinder steam exhaust is the 4th section steam extraction opening, through which part of steams are
extracted out for deaerator and plant steams.
Adopt symmetric double split flow reaction pressure stage for LP cylinder, including 2*2*7 stages. The
steams enter from LP cylinder middle part, and then flow towards the 2nd section steam exhaust opening and
enter into bottom condenser. Due to symmetric double split flow, LP rotor axial thrust is automatically

balanced, and the axial thrust generated on the rotor is almost zero. The steam extraction openings will be
installed completely symmetrically after #1 LP cylinder stage 2, 5, 6 and #2 cylinder stage 4, 5, 6,
respectively, used as the steam extraction openings for the 5th section, 6th section, 7th section and 8th section
respectively, and the steams are extracted to the corresponding LP heaters.
This steam turbine is a kind of reaction steam turbine, so the axial thrust of turbine stages is
comparatively large. To reduce axial thrust, in addition to HP-IP flow path designed into reverse arrangement
and LP flow path design into reverse double-flow arrangement, adopt the equalizing piston in terms of rotor
structure to greatly reduce the axial thrust, and the residual axial thrust is to be borne by the thrust bearing,
installed in bearing seat between #1 LP cylinder and HP-IP cylinder, forming the relative anchor point of the
rotor at the thrusting bearing. The front-end bearing pedestal and #2 LP cylinder motor-end bearing pedestal
are equipped with differential expansion detector to monitor the unit differential expansion state.
The steam turbine stator anchor point is located at center of #1 LP cylinder, namely, the intersection
point of # 1 LP cylinder axial and transverse positioning fixed plate central lines. LP cylinder legs are placed
freely on LP cylinder foundation deck to guarantee free expansion and contraction in different directions. The
front-end bearing pedestal is placed on front-end bearing pedestal deck freely. With feather keys between the
front-end bearing pedestal and the deck, the front-end bearing pedestal only slides along turbine axial
direction on the deck. 2 pressing plates on both side of front-end bearing pedestal will press the front-end
bearing pedestal to prevent from jumping.
HP-IP outer cylinder connects with front-end bearing pedestal and #1 LP cylinder valve control end
bearing pedestal through “H” centering beam on both sides. “H” centering beam plays push-pull role in
cylinder expansion and guarantees the center of the cylinder and shaft system to remain unchanged. HP-IP
outer cylinder supports on keys of front-end bearing pedestal and #1 LP cylinder valve control end bearing
pedestal through 4 turbine bracket support keys. The paw bracket is of suspended structure, and the
supporting surface and the casing split are one plane so as to avoid cylinder deviation from central position
caused by the paw bracket.
The radial bearings of HP-IP rotor and LP rotor are tilting-pad bearings, with good stability to prevent
from oil whip.
The thrust bearings can automatically regulate thrust loads of each pad to realize the same thrust for
each pad. In addition, through the positioning mechanism of thrust bearing shell, the clearance of thrust
bearings can be measured and adjusted. The rigid couplings are used to connect HP-IP rotor and LP rotor as
well as two LP rotors. The gasket is installed between two couplings, and when installed, the axial position
can be adjusted. The rigid couplings are also used to connect LP rotor and generator rotor.
The LP rotor motor end is equipped with large barring gear. The gear is also taken as the coupling gasket
to adjust the axial position of steam turbine rotor and generator rotor.

upper of diaphragm valve can be provided to close the diaphragm valve


1.4.1.3 emergency governor, emergency trip pilot valve.
The emergency governor is equipped with a set of centrifugal stop bolt (ram) to control an emergency
trip pilot valve. When the working speed of steam turbine reaches 110%-112% of rated speed, centrifugal
force of centrifugal stop bolt overcomes spring force, throwing the centrifugal stop bolt outward to strike
emergency trip pilot valve trigger so as to move the emergency trip pilot to the right, so that the security oil is
connected with drain to quickly open the diaphragm valve.
The emergency trip pilot valve is the control and test device in emergency trip system. It is installed
within front-end bearing box, including a trip pilot valve, a test isolating pilot valve, a manual trip lever and a
test lever.
The test isolating pilot valve can be used to isolate emergency trip pilot valve from LP security oil
header. During oil injection test, the test stop valve can be opened manually to allow pressure oil to enter into
centrifugal stop bolt lower chamber through nozzle, and centrifugal stop bolt overcomes the restriction force
of spring and flies off.
1.4.1.4 Diaphragm valve
Diaphragm valve provides an interface between HP fire resistant oil and LP turbine oil, and LP
overspeed trip can stop the unit through the diaphragm valve.
1.4.2 Trip
The regulating security system of steam turbine is equipped with electric, mechanical and manual
redundancy tripping means.
1.4.2.1 Electric shutdown
This function can be accomplished through HP barring module. Once accepting electric shutdown signal,
HP trip module loses the power, directly release HP security oil, quickly close main steam valves and
regulating valves to stop the unit steam entering.
1.4.2.2 Mechanical overspeed protection
Mechanical emergency trip security system mainly includes emergency governor, emergency trip pilot
valve, normally closed/open solenoid valve, throttle orifice and diaphragm valve accepting LP security oil
pressure signals. Emergency governor and emergency trip pilot valve are installed at head part in front-end
bearing box of steam turbine unit. Emergency governor is connected with lubricating oil pump drive shaft,
integrated with turbine main shaft as one body to accept main shaft rotating speed signals. The emergency
trip pilot valve is installed on bearing plate of drive shaft nearby emergency governor, and the clearance
between valve damper and centrifugal stop bolt is about 1mm. When steam turbine rotating speed reaches
(110-120%) rated speed, the centrifugal stop bolt flies off under action of centrifugal force with stroke 4mm,
and strikes emergency trip pilot valve damper to release valve damper hook, and emergency trip pilot valve

bounces upwards rapidly under action of bottom spring to open LP security oil leakage hole so as to
discharge LP security oil line oil pressure quickly. The rapid reduction of security oil line oil pressure causes
diaphragm valve to take action to discharge HP security oil and rapidly close main steam valve and regulating
steam valve.
1.4.2.3 Manual shutdown
The system is equipped with manual intercepting valve in turbine head for emergency shutdown. Beat
front-box manual tripping button with hand, discharge the lubricating oil on upper of diaphragm valve, and
open diaphragm valve, discharge HP security oil, rapidly close main steam valves and regulating valves, and
stop steams entering into the unit. (Reset before latch after stopping front-box tripping button manually)
1.4.2.4 The system is equipped with emergency governor test solenoid valve unit for oil spray test of
emergency governor.
1.4.3 HP fire resistant oil system
HP fire resistant oil system is composed of hydraulic servo system, HP fire resistant oil tripping system
and oil supply system.
1.4.3.1 Hydraulic servo system is composed of valve control seat and servomotor.
1.4.3.2 HP fire resistant oil tripping system is composed of diaphragm valve which can transform from
lubricating oil to HP security oil and HP barring module which can realize online test.
After the unit latches, the lubricating oil acts on diaphragm valve for action to intercept HP security oil
return oil passage. If then solenoid valve on HP barring module is charged, HP security oil will be provided.
1.4.3.3 HP accumulator
HP accumulator is the hydro-pneumatic blade-type accumulator for 2 units, and nitrogen precharge
pressure is 10MPa. HP accumulator is connected with the system through manifold block, including isolating
valve, discharge valve, etc. It is used to supplement instantly increased oil consumption and reduce system oil
pressure impulse.
1.4.3.4 HP barring module (AST)
HP barring module is mainly composed of four AST solenoid valves, two pressure switches, two
throttling elements and one manifold block. On normal condition, all four solenoid valves are charged so as
to provide HP security oil pressure provided that the diaphragm valve is closed (namely, the unit latches) to
keep valve servomotor unloading valve to a closed state. When it is required to stop the unit, all four solenoid
valves lose power, HP security oil is discharged, and main steam valves and regulating valves are closed
rapidly.
1.4.3.5 Overspeed limiting module (OPC)
Overspeed limiting module is composed of two pilot solenoid valves, two unloading valves and one-way
valves. In normal operation, the solenoid valve loses power. When oil switch appears tripping operation

Steam Turbine Operation Manual

Vietnam Vinh Tan Phase II 2×622MW Coal-Fired Power Generator Unit

under over 30% of rated load or the unit rotating speed exceeds 103% of rated speed, the charged solenoid
valve acts to discharge oil pressure on unloading valve, open the unloading valve, discharge regulating valve
servomotor security oil pressure and rapidly close regulating valve servomotor. The one-way valve is to
discharge regulating valve servomotor security oil pressure when HP barring module acts and when
overspeed limiting module acts, it cannot discharge main steam valve servomotor security oil, and will not
close main steam valve.
1.4.3.6 Regulating valve servomotor
HP regulating valve servomotor belongs to servo actuator under continuous control, it can control HP
regulating valve at any position and regulate steam admission according to control requirements so as to
adapt to the operation need of steam turbine.
The control principles of electro-hydraulic converter are same as those of HP main steam valve
servomotor.
This servomotor is equipped with a cartridge unloading valve. When the turbine speed exceed 103% of
rated speed or it fails for emergency shutdown, the emergency tripping system acts to discharge overspeed
protection (OPC) header, rapidly open the cartridge unloading valve, rapidly discharge pressure oil in
actuator servomotor cylinder working chamber and rapidly close HP regulating valves under action of spring
force.
The principles of IP regulating valve servomotor is similar with those of HP regulating servomotor.
1.4.3.7 HP, IP main steam valve servomotor
HP main stop value (MSV) servomotor is a kind of servo actuator with continuous control. It can control
the HP main steam valve at any position and adjust throttle flow to accommodate the operation of turbine
according to the control requirements.
Digital Electro-Hydraulic Control System (DEH) control signal drives electro-hydraulic servo valve to
move main valve plug and controls the servo valve channel to make HP fire-resistant oil enter into the
working chamber of the hydraulic servo-motor oil cylinder to move the hydraulic servomotor piston, driving
and unlocking the main steam valve, or to leak pressure oil out from the working chamber of oil cylinder to
make the piston move backwards by relying on spring force and close the HP main steam valve. The
movement of hydraulic servomotor piston drives the linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) to
change the displacement of the piston into electric signals. These signals, as inverse feedback ones, adds to
the former signals from computer processing; and with opposite polarity, they are actually subtracted from
one another. After the addition of original input signals and feedback signals cause the input servo amplifier
signal equal to zero, the main servo valve returns to the neutral position with no more HP oil entering into
servomotor cylinder working chamber. Thus, the HP main steam valve stops and stays at a new working
position.

An inserted unloading valve is installed to this hydraulic servo-motor. When troubles take place and
require an urgent halt, emergency stopping system (AST) starts to work and removes mother tube oil.
Meanwhile, the inverted unloading valve quickly opens to quickly remove the pressure oil in the working
chamber of the hydraulic servomotor cylinder and rapidly shut HP main steam valves under spring force.
Two IP reheat MSV servomotors are installed on the unit side of IP main steam valve. The IP reheat
MSV servomotor is a two-position switch-type actuator with solenoid valve for valve activity tests and oil
cylinder possessing adjustable buffering function.
The IP reheat MSV servomotor receives control signals from DEH control system. When an emergency
takes places and removes the AST oil, the inserted unloading valve on the servomotor unlocks immediately
and removes the pressure oil in servomotor cylinder working chamber; meanwhile, the main steam valve
rapidly closes under spring force.
On the hydraulic servomotor, there is an activity testing solenoid valve (two-position two-way),
connecting the working chamber of the oil cylinder and pressure return oil. When the activity test of main
steam valve is carried out, DEH control system sends the signal to open this solenoid valve, removes a part of
pressure oil in the working chamber of the oil cylinder and closes the main steam valve under spring force to
realize main steam valve test.
1.4.4 Steam turbine monitoring & protection instrument system
True Air speed Indicator (TSI) is a reliable multi-channel monitoring system, which can continuously
monitor mechanical operating parameters of turbo generator unit rotor and cylinder.
1.4.4.1 Rotating speed monitoring
(1) Rotating speed and zero speed
(2) The tachometer can continuously monitor the rotating speed of shaft. The rotating speed sensor is
installed in the front bearing box. The tachometer receives the signal from the eddy current probe and
calculates the revolutions per minute (RPM). When the rotating speeds drop to zero, an interlock signal will
be sent to the automatic barring gear to activate the barring. The three rotating speed sensors of overspeed
monitoring, installed on the speed detection gear of the front bearing box, detect the rotating speed of the unit.
When the rotating speed of the steam turbine reaches 110% of the rated speed, two-out-of-three signal will be
adopt to activate the relay and sent to the emergency trip system (ETS) to make 20-1/AST to 20-4/AST to
interdict the power-loss open of the solenoid valve, leak out high-pressure safety oil and closing down the
HP-IP automatic main steam valve and the regulating valve.
1.4.4.2 Displacement monitoring

expansion is greater than or equal to +10.2mm or less than or equal to -4.8mm, and LP differential expansion
is greater than or equal to +23.3mm or less than or equal to -1.4, the alarm relay also takes action and outputs
the alarm signal, High Differential Expansion Value II; the steam turbine trips, otherwise, manually open the
brake and switch off the turbine.
(2) Axial displacement and eccentricity
The axial displacement adopts the two-channel monitoring. When #1 or #2 axial displacement is greater
than or equal to +0.9mm or less than or equal to -0.9mm, and #1 or #2 “large axial displacement” alarm relay
acts to output the alarm signal; when #1 or #2 axial direction displacement is greater than or equal to +1.0mm
or less than or equal to -1.0mm, #1 or #2 “shutdown due to excessive large axial displacement” alarm relay
takes action and sends signal to ETS causing machine halt; When the eccentricity is greater than or equal to
original value 20µm, large eccentricity alarm relay acts and sends alarm signal.
1.4.4.3 Vibration monitoring
To monitor rotor radial vibration relative to the bearing, the unit #1-9 support bearings are equipped with
horizontal (X direction) and vertical (Y direction) bearing vibration channels for 18 in total.
When bearing vibration of #1-9 bearing bush X or Y direction is greater than or equal to 127μm, send
the alarm “large steam turbine bearing vibration”; when it is greater than or equal to 50μm, send the alarm
“large steam turbine bearing vibration”; when it is greater than or equal to 254μm, send the alarm “large
steam turbine bearing vibration”, and send signals to ETS and act on tripping and shutdown when the rotating
speed is greater than 2900rpm.
1.4.4.4 Vacuum and oil pressure
The condenser low vacuum governor is only equipped with three vacuum switches, and lubricating oil
low pressure governor is equipped with three pressure switches.
(1) Condenser vacuum governor output signals
When low condenser vacuum P is greater than or equal to 90Kpa (a) , vacuum pressure switch acts and
outputs alarm signal; when excessive low condenser vacuum P is greater than or equal to 79.7Kpa (a) , three
vacuum switches act (two-out-of-three) , outputs alarm signal to ETS, and acts on tripping and shutdown.
(2) Lubricating oil pressure governor output signals
When the lubricating oil header oil pressure P is equal to or smaller than 0.082MPa, the pressure switch
acts and outputs alarm signal; when the lubricating oil header oil pressure P is equal to or smaller than
0.049MPa, take two-out-of-three logic, output alarm signal “shutdown due to low lubricating oil pressure”,
send signal to ETS and act on tripping and shutdown. As the turbine shutdown after idling definitely enters
into barring state, if the lubricating oil pressure declines constantly, when P is equal to or smaller than
0.031MPa, the pressure switch acts, output signal on stop barring and initiate the alarm.

under various working conditions.
3.3.6.2 The main oil source for operation: the normal working oil source of the air side seal oil is supplied
by AC seal oil pump with the outlet pressure of 0.8Mpa.
3.3.6.3 The first standby oil source is the high pressure oil from the main oil pump and hydrogen seal oil
standby pump of the steam turbine. The standby oil supplies the air side sealing bush by releasing the
pressure of the pressure reducing valve in the pipeline, and oil pressure in the outlet of the pressure reducing
valve is 0.7~0.8MPa, and the amount of oil is 250L/min. When the main oil source breaks down and the

Steam Turbine Operation Manual


Page 63 of 197
Vietnam Vinh Tan Phase II 2×622MW Coal-Fired Power Generator Unit

differential pressure of hydrogen oil drops to 0.056MPa, the standby differential pressure valve arranged in
the pipeline shall automatically open. The standby oil source is automatically put into operation.
3.3.6.4 The second oil source is also provided by the turbine oil system. It is supplied by standby AC
electric seal oil pump of the turbine main oil tank with the oil pressure of 1.0MPa. As it is connected to the
same line with the oil source of the first standby oil pump, so this standby oil source also goes into a standby
differential pressure valve, and then into the sealing bush, input it when the differential pressure drops to
0.056MPa. When the coaxial speed of the turbine is more than 2/3 of the rated speed, the main shaft seal oil
pump of the turbine is able to provide the first standby oil source; when rotating speed is less than 2/3 or
breaks down, thus it can be only supplied by the second standby oil source.
3.3.6.5 The third standby oil source is provided by the self-contained DC electric oil pump of the seal oil
system, and it is connected to the same line with AC electric oil pump, when the hydrogen differential
pressure drops to 0.035MPa, and the DC oil pump is started, by starting which can hydrogen differential
pressure return to 0.084MPa. However, as the electric source capacity of the standby DC is limited, so the
operation time of the standby DC oil pump shall not be too long and shall be in less than two hours. Examine
and repair the AC oil pump as soon as possible.
3.3.6.6 The fourth standby oil source is also provided by the turbine oil system. The oil pressure supplied

pressure inside the machine must be timely reduced to 0.014MPa.
3.3.7 Operation mode of hydrogen system
3.3.7.1 The rated hydrogen pressure of the machine design is 400 kPa, maintain the normal operation of
400 kPa, and replenish hydrogen timely when the pressure is lower than the 380 kPa, the hydrogen pressure
shall be higher than that of the generator stator cooling water. Hydrogen purity shall be larger than 98%,
discharge the sewage timely when it is less than 95%, and add qualified hydrogen as well.
3.3.7.2 Before the unit is started, the generator shall be filled with qualified purity hydrogen inside. After
synchronization, input the hydrogen cooler cooling water timely, and keep the cold hydrogen temperature in
44 ℃. It is necessary to ensure that the generator hydrogen input temperature is lower than the stator cooling
water entrance temperature of the generator. After unit splitting, stop the operation of the hydrogen cooler
cooling water and drying device.
3.3.7.3 The system works normally, and the hydrogen drying device shall be inputted, discharge the water
promptly when there is water. The humidity and purity of the hydrogen shall be tested by the chemical
laboratory regularly. The humidity shall not be more than -25-0℃ (dew point temperature under rated
hydrogen pressure). Discharge the sewage when the humidity or purity is unqualified.
3.3.7.4 When making up hydrogen, discharge the sewage of its parent tube first for 10 minutes before the
make-up, in order to avoid the excess moisture.

6.9.5 Control the water level of dewatering
6.9.5.1 Normal water level
The normal water level is the designed best water level, and it is shown clearly on the general drawing
and water level indicator board. And the best water level in thermal state shall be determined by adjusting
during the running.
When the heater reaches to the running state and runs steadily, try best to keep the normal water level,
generally it is the drain adjusting valve that controls the water level. In order to make it convenient for the

Steam Turbine Operation Manual


Page 160 of 197
Vietnam Vinh Tan Phase II 2×622MW Coal-Fired Power Generator Unit

operating personnel to observe, water level indicator is connected on the shell. Generally, the permitted water
level deviation is 38mm upper or lower than the normal water level.
6.9.5.2 Low water level
38 mm lower than the water level (0mm for vertical type), when it is lower than this water level. for the
heater which has dewatering cooling section, the inlet of dewatering cooling section will break the surface of
water, and let the steam flow into this section, this will result in breakdown by destroying the normal work of
this section
(1) Cause the gaining of drain approach;
(2) Because of leakage, the loss of steam latent heat, the property of heater deteriorates
(3) Create erosive damage to the entrance of dewatering cooling section and the entire section, which
will break the pipe, in order to make sure whether there is air leakage, compare the temperature of the
dewatering outlet and feed water inlet. According to the designed working state, when it runs normally, the
temperature of dewatering is about 5.5~11℃ higher than that of feed water inlet, if the temperature of
dewatering is 11~27.5℃ higher than that of feed water inlet, then there may be partial water inflow and air
leakage in the dewatering cooling section.
6.9.5.3 High water level
38mm (50mm for vertical type) higher than the normal water level is high water level, when it is higher
than this level, there will be heat transfer pipe inundating in water, which reduces the available limited heat
transfer section and declines the heater property (lower the feed water outlet temperature). High level is
caused by the following situations:
(1) Drain adjusting valve cannot work properly or has fault;
(2) The pressure difference of the heater valves, which water step by step, is not enough;
(3) Overload;
(4) Pipe damage.
If the pipe leaks, take measures immediately, bloc the broken pipe, which is to avoid the erosive damage
to the neighboring pipes caused by high pressure water.

difference, main and reheat steam system, upper and lower temperature difference of all steam extraction
pipes as well as the change of container water level and pressure and temperature. If the upper and lower
temperature difference enlarges acutely, find out the reason for water or cool steam inflow immediately, cut
off water, steam source and drain ponding.
6.12.5.8 During continuous barring, if continuous barring must be stopped for operational needs or due to
fault, it shall be approved by chief engineer and the following principles must be followed:
(1) For overhaul due to barring device fault or other operational needs, after the barring is broken off,
mark on corresponding positions of rotor and record the time of barring shutdown.
(2) After the shutdown of barring, move the rotor 180°before continuous barring is restored. At this

moment, pay special attention to the rotor eccentricity and make sure that barring current does not rise or
fluctuate overly.
6.12.5.9 During continuous barring period, under special situations, shaft-jacking device can be stopped,
but the barring current must be monitored. When the increment value of barring current is not 120% larger
than the normal value, shaft-jacking device can be stopped for continuous barring. Otherwise, shaft-jacking
device must be put into production for barring.
6.12.5.10 During continuous barring period, if there is obvious metal friction sound in the cylinder and the
barring current fluctuates with large margin (not the fault of barring device), stop the continuous barring
immediately and change it to manual barring for straight shaft according to the above regulation until the
barring device can be restored and used.
