DEH Pump

(3/8/11)
* unable to built up pressure during pump change over
* status after trial with coordinating electrical,mechanical and instrument team 
  • running pump 2A current 4.4 amp, pressure 38.30 kg/cm2, vibration normal,no sound
  • pump 2B started at 09:41, current 4.3 amp, during both pump running pressure gradually increased up to 39.13 kg/cm2, vibration normal, no sound
  • after taking trial for 10 minutes pump 2B stop at 09:51, pressured drop up to 37.25 Kg/cm2 (which is normal).
(DEH pump checking 7/3/11)

pump checking with open the venting plug and rotate manual the motor  by hand, oil coming out normal


take out the motor and checking condition of coupling, teeth of coupling & teflon still in good condition

lift / take out the pump check all condition of connection and bolt also suction filter pump, all in good

















* after all checking than reassembly and trial, pressure ok, keep in stand by, with running pump 2A
* instrument replace pressure indicator with new one

MTC advice after checking:
" we suggest to electrical for tightening connection cable to the motor better use proper tools not tighten the nut with plier "

Condenser & Turbine Extractions

Introduction

What is condensation
 * process of conversion from vapour to liquid









 Vacuum
* vacuum is sub-atmospheric pressure, measured as the pressure depression below atmospheric
* vacuum is created in a closed chamber of the gas or vapour whose molecules are responsible for the internal fluid pressure, is partially withdrawn
* one Kg of water vapour at 0.1 bar occupies 14.695 cubicmt whereas after condensation it will occupy only 0.0010102 cubicmt of liquid


How is vacuum created
* the liquidating of most the vapour molecules creates region of emptiness thus creating vacuum















What is condenser
* heat exchanger, to condense steam from the exhaust of the turbine to water

Where is it located
* at the exhaust of turbine

    











Why is it required
* to receive large volumes of steam exhausted from steam prime mover (turbine)
* to condense large volumes of steam to water which may be used again in boiler
* to maintain pressure below atmisphere to increase work output from the prime mover (turbine)€
Type of condenser
* surface condensers
* jet condensers
