Test Bed Preparations
1 Turbine is to be placed in position
on the test bed
2 Steam inlet and exhaust pipe is Ensure that there
connected with proper steam joints is no reverse
pulling on the
turbine
3 Tighten all foundation bolts in
sequence
4 Ensure normal oil level in the base
plate
5 Connect cooler to the turbine
6 Connect cooling water to the cooler
7 Electrical connection to be made to Direction of
AOP, Solenoid valve and pressure rotation of AOP
switches is to be confirmed
8 Gauges are fitted on to the junction Calibrated
plate to record values of bearing oil pressure gauge /
pressure, relay oil pressure, AOP temperature
discharge pressure, Exhaust pressure gauges /
and also bearing / water temperature indicators are to
be used
9 Switch on the AOP Ensure no oil Lub oil
leakages from the control
pipes / joints. pressure as
Check for cooling per the
water circulation design
by observing the recommend
cooler outlet line ation
