2. During short trip outs the supply of steam to
turbine has to be totally cut off from the
boiler. Once short tripping is over, turbine
requires steam at high temperature as the
temperature of the turbine parts have not
reduced much during the short period due to
effective insulation and high mass of
materials.
BY PASS SYSTEM
3. But boiler will not give in a sudden during
restart. If low temperature steam admitted
turbine will be affected. Other words, TPS
will idle until the turbine cool and match
with steam parameters. This period will be
very long since cooling rate is very low for
the turbine.
BY PASS SYSTEM
4. *By pass system comprises a pipe work system
with valves and pressure dropping devices to
enable live steam from the boiler to by pass the
turbine completely and be dumped into the
condenser.
* For matching live steam and turbine metal
temperature for a quick start-up, By pass
stations have been provided.

5. WHEN BY PASS IS REQUIRED
1.During Startup
2.During a Turbine Trip
3.Higher Steam Pressure (Exceeding
design limit)
4 Flexible load and ramp up change
6. WHEN STEM FLOW IS NECESSARY
THROUGH REHEATER
1.The higher steam temperature required
by the turbine during Startup
2. During sudden trip
10. FUNCTIONS OF HP BY PASS
SYSTEM
1. To establish flow at the outlet of super heater for
raising boiler parameters during startup.
2. To maintain or control steam pressure at preset
valve in main steam line during startup.
3. To warm up steam lines.
4. To control steam temperature down steam of HP
By Pass at the present value.
5. To dump steam from boiler into condenser in case
the generator circuit breaker opens.
11. FUNCTIONS OF LP BY PASS
SYSTEM
1. Control of steam after reheater
2. Establish flow of steam from reheat line to
condenser by its opening, proportional to the
opening of by pass valve.
3. Release of stem entrapped in HP and
reheater circuit in case generator circuit
breaker opens.

23. ADVANTAGES OF HPAND LP
BY PASS SYSTEM
1. To cut down unit startup time.
2. To allow boiler operation during short turbine trips.
3. To warm up steam lines during startup.
4. It gives smooth warm up of boiler components,
including reheater. A most rapid boiler run-up may be
possible. It is saves fuel.
5. Enables the boiler to take up heavy rejection trip to
house load operation advantageously.
24. ADVANTAGES OF HPAND LP
BY PASS SYSTEM
6. To allow better matching of boiler and turbine.
7. Water loss during startup is minimised.
8. To help conserve demineralised water during start
up and sudden load sheddings.
9. Independent operation of boiler is achievable.
10. To prevents frequent flowing of safety valves.
25. INTERLOCKS IN BY PASS

4. Temperature too high
5. HP by pass valve position more than 2%
6. Close - signal for spray water control
26. PROBLEMS WITH BY PASS
SYSTEM
1. Noise:
a. Reduced by employing adiabatic flow with friction.
b. Increasing thickness and covering acoustic
insulation.
2. Water ingress:
Pressure control valves are shut, a large build up
condensation will occur in the steam lines. To avoid
this drains are located at suitable positions.
27. PROBLEMS WITH BY PASS
