Boiler Follow Mode: The boiler is divorced from the generation control, which means the steam turbine utilizes stored energy in the boiler to provide immediate load response. The boiler must then change firing rate to bring pressure back to setpoint.
Turbine Follow Mode: Turbine control valves maintain a set pressure while the boiler fires to maintain load. Drawback here is a slower generation response. There are variations with this scheme, in that the turbine control valves can be fully opened at higher loads to minimize the energy penalty associated with the DP loss across them.

The document provides instructions for performing HVAC system service procedures, including refrigerant recovery, component replacement, and retrofitting older R-12 systems to newer R-134a systems. Key steps include properly evacuating the system, recovering refrigerant and oil, performing any necessary repairs, evacuating again, and recharging with the correct amount of refrigerant. Technicians are advised to inspect various components like condensers, evaporators, hoses and replace as needed.
The document provides information on diagnosing engine conditions through visual inspections, noise diagnosis, and performance tests. It describes how to perform compression tests, cylinder leakage tests, vacuum tests, and check for exhaust restrictions. Key steps are outlined for each test, including what to check, how to set up the test, and how to interpret the results. Common engine complaints and their potential causes are also listed.

Generator Shaft
• Forms a film between the Generator Shaft and
the Seal Ring
• Keeps Hydrogen in and Air out
• The Hydrogen is used to cool the generator
components

10. • Why is Hydrogen used to cool the Generator
instead of air?
– Thermal Conductivity 7-10 times better than air
– Less Dense than air
– Therefore a Hydrogen Cooled Generator is smaller and
less expensive than an Air Cooled Generator
• Why not use Helium as it is an inert gas?
– Helium is so expensive the cost prevented it’s use even

12. Oil comes from Bearing Lube Oil Header
13
About 24 Gallons per Inch of level in the Vacuum Tank
13. Level is controlled by a float valve
14
Oil comes in via H41_1 as controlled by H10_1 float
If level in the vacuum tank lowers the float adjusts to allow more flow into the tank
14. Float Valve
15
As level lowers
The float moved down
Due to the location of the
pivot point
This opens the valve
15. Air and moisture are vented to
atmosphere as these would effect H2

the EO on rounds and

needed via H40_1
This oil should be
changed monthly
18. • There is moisture in the effluent going to the vent
• On a very cold day at a past power plant
• The moisture on the vent on the roof froze
• Preventing flow from the separator tank
• Evidenced by extra pressure when you drain the water from

30. Flow Path NO Pumps ( Supplied only
from Bearing Oil at Reduced Pressure)
32
31. • Normal flow path through the MSOP from the Vacuum Tank
through the Seals
• If the MSOP loses power the Emergency Seal Oil Pump
Bypasses the MSOP and Vacuum Tank and still goes to the
seals
• If the MSOP and ESOP are lost Bearing Oil simply bypasses
both of those pumps are supplies seals at a reduced pressure
(25 Psig at Turbine Centerline plus the Pressure due to the
difference in height from Turbine to Seal Oil skid)
• Will have to vent H2 to stay below this pressure
Here is how I like to think about this

Air Side Hydrogen Side
Bearing Oil
33. • The oil flows into the segmented seal rings.
• Part of the oil flows into the “hydrogen side” of the
generator, the other part flows to the “air side” of the
generator.
• The oil between the seal ring and the rotating shaft
lubricates the seal rings, and provides a barrier to
stop hydrogen from leaking from the generator
through the seal.
Seal
35
34. There is a hydrogen side and an air side.
36
The Hydrogen side (RED)
drains to the Hydrogen
Detraining Tank
The Air side (YELLOW)
drains to the Aux
Detraining Tank
Bearing Oil (Blue Circle)
Most of the H2 released
from the H2 detraining
section goes back to the
generator
The H2 released from the
Aux (air) detraining
section is lost to
atmosphere via the vent
35. Hydrogen Detraining Section
37
Divided into two equal
sections connected by a
loop seal
Provides circulation due
to slight differences in fan
pressures at each end of
the rotor
The larger surface area
provides for Hydrogen
bubbles to be released
It also permits oil to drain
without the oil mist being
recirculated in the
generator
36. Float Trap
38
Maintains a seal between
the Hydrogen in the
Generator and the Oil
returning to the Bearing
Oil Drain
When level is LOW the
float valve is CLOSED
preventing Hydrogen from
passing through the
system
As the oil passes to the
Aux Detraining section
the dissolved H2 is
vented via the
enlargement in the
bearing drain line
37. Aux (Air) Detraining Section
39
H2 Seal oil from the Air
side of the generator
seals is routed to the Aux
Detraining Section (Air)
This is why the Vapor
Extractor on the Turbine
Lube Oil Reservoir is so
important
Any H2 not removed via
the Drain Enlargements is
removed via the Vapor
Extractor
38. Liquid Detector

43. • MSOP failure
• As a group discuss the consequences on a
loss of the MSOP
– Emergency Seal Oil Pump Auto Starts
– The Vacuum Tank is bypassed
– H2 Purity will lower
– Feed and Bleed H2
Failures and actions
45
44. • RSOP failure
• As a group discuss the consequences on a
loss of the RSOP
– This is kind of interesting because the relief valve for the
MSOP has now lost the backpressure that it had while the
RSOP was on and therefore relieves at a lower pressure
– This will likely be low enough to start the ESOP
– In this case you will see the MSOP and ESOP on with the
RSOP off (Feed and Bleed for purity)
Failures and actions
46
45. Relief Valve
47
The RSOP normally
maintains a backpressure
on the relief valve
Without the RSOP the
MSOP will overcome the
relief valve pressure at a
lower setpoint
This will likely drop
pressure enough that the
ESOP will start thus
bypassing the vacuum
tank
Long term purity is
maintained by feed and
bleed
46. • Failure of ESOP and MSOP
• As a group discuss the consequences on a
loss of the ESOP and MSOP
– The Bearing Oil Header supplies Seal Oil at a
substantially reduced pressure
– Vent H2 to below Seal Oil Pressure
– Lower Load to stay below Generator Capability Curve
Failures and actions
48
47. • Stuck Open Vacuum Tank Float Valve
• As a group discuss the consequences of the
Vacuum Tank Float Valve Sticking Open
– The Vacuum Tank Level rises
– Vacuum degrades in the Vacuum Tank
– Shut off the SOVP to prevent damage
– Shut valve H09-1 to stop flow to the Vacuum Tank
– Start the ESOP
• There was a plant that actually had oil coming out of the vent
Failures and actions

• As a group discuss the consequences of the
Strainer plugging
– High DP noted on strainer

– Clean the dirty strainer
Failures and actions

53. • On Friday, October 26, 2012 at approximately 1440, a
Neal 3 equipment operator was performing routine
filter cleaning of the hydrogen seal oil Cuno filter by
turning the spindle handle located on top of the filter
canister.
• While turning the handle, the spindle’s retainer came
loose and the spindle came out the top of the filter.
• Since the filter internals were pressurized with oil, a
large flow of seal oil sprayed out the top of the filter.
SER
55
54. • The hydrogen seal pumps were left in service while the
generator hydrogen pressure was being manually vented.
• Because of the large amount of oil spray, (See pictures at end
of report) turbine oil had to be transferred from the batch tank
to the turbine lube oil tank to maintain adequate oil flow to the
turbine bearings.
• Once the hydrogen was at an acceptable pressure, the
hydrogen seal oil system was removed from service and the
Cuno filter was valve out to stop the oil leak.
SER ( Had to Vent H2)
56
55. • The spill area was cleaned sufficiently to allow repairs to be
made to the Cuno filter.
• When the Cuno filter was opened, it was discovered that the
internal components had been previously removed.
• Since the hydrogen seal oil system has parallel cartridge filters
located downstream of the Cuno filter, the Cuno filter was
returned to service without internal components. Pipe plugs
were installed in place of the spindles.
SER
57
57. Vented H2 to allow for securing H2 Seal
Oil System
59
58. • With the leak from the system H2 Seal Oil could no longer
maintain seal pressure without causing a large oil leak
• By venting H2 the pressure is reduced so it does not blow by
the seals and into the atmosphere which would create an
explosive condition
• Have shift supervisors discuss the event with their crews.
Emphasize how actions taken by the on-duty crew prevented
events from occurring, which could have been much more
severe
• The operators performed very well during this event
SER

59. • Generator H2 Seal Oil maintains the Hydrogen
in the Generator
