Description of cooling-steam and how to adjust cooling rate

B043500 Catalagzi By Joakim Karlsson joakim.x.karlsson@gmail.com System function During operating some of the IP turbine internal parts needs to be be cooled. Operation Cooling is made by mixing steam from the HP turbine exhaust and inlet side shaft sealing. The cooling steam pressure is controlled using a pneumatic control-valve, MAW10AA030.

Control function The valve MAW30AA010 is regulating the pressure at the IP turbine shaft seal(MAB10CP030, MAB10CP035) according to SP based on nonlinear graph specified by the turbine supplier. The SP is generated by comparing the pressure after IPCV (MAB10CP013, MAB10CP014) and SP in the graph and then feed in to the controller. The controller output signal is then compared with the STG rpm in %, the lowest value of SP and RPM will regulate the control-valve. Also note that 100% output signal to valve is equal to 20mA and valve will be closed(air to close).

The graph also shows the recommended operational range of the the pressure at shaft seal. To show how the graph is read below are the SP at some given pressures after IPCV: Pressure After IPCV 0 Bar 5 Bar 10 Bar 15 Bar 20 Bar 25 Bar 30 Bar 35 Bar 39 Bar Cooling valve SP 9 Bar 11 Bar 12.5 Bar 15.5 Bar 19.5 Bar 23.9 Bar 28 Bar 32.5 Bar 36 Bar

This graph is stored in the PCS7 CFC MAW30DP901 in separate blocks for each line in the graph. Block 13 for the low pressure line Block 21 for the SP line Block 14 for the high pressure line All three blocks are of the polyg_p type, below is block 21:

The U value represents pressure after IPCV and V value is the outputted SP thats feed into the controller. Adjusting the cooling-steam flow rate There is three ways to adjust the cooling-steam flow rate -Modify the V values of poly_g block 21, hence modifying the SP curve. -Manual operation of the AO channel -Manually operate using the manual by-pass valve.

Trip conditions There is two trips related to the cooling-steam system, they are as follows: Trip 1-MAW30DP901/ZT01 MPT transmitter fault cooling-steam (Turbine controller AS1)
MAB10CT065 > 500C

AND
MAB10CT065 Qbad

OR
