TURBINE

DIFFERENTIAL
EXPANSION
OCCURS
ONLY
SEVERE RESTRICTION
IN TURBINE EXPANSION
9. VIBRATION MORE
POSSIBLE CAUSES
Abnormal fluctuation in steam parameter
Sudden drop in sealing steam temp
HP sealing steam cooling water spray system is passing.
Lub. Oil temperature and lub. Oil pressure too high or too low
destroying oil film under bearing.
Differential expansion and axial shift more or machine is not
expanding.
Water induction into turbine
Turbine rotor at critical speed
Malfunctioning of HP/LP bypass valve causing abnormal increase in
hot reheat / CRH pressure.
Low vacuum / high exhaust hood temperature.
Rotor eccentricity high due to bow in rotor.
Shaft vibration high due to unbalance ,mis alignment,high run out at
journal, blade failure etc
9. VIBRATION MORE
IMMEDIATE ACTION
Check maintain steam/casing metal/pipe metal temp, sealing
steam and lub oil temperature, lub. oil pressure and vacuum.
Trip the turbine if hot reheat pressure is increasing due to
malfunctioning of HP/LP bypass valves.
Open HP flange heating valve if differential expansion is more.
Control LPT exhaust temp/vacuum
Cross-checked the vibration reading by portable instrument.
Check bearing drains/lub oil filter for any damage indication
Do not roll turbine when eccentricity exceed 50 micron on
barring gear.
Trip the turbine if bearing/shaft vibration/eccentricity high
