When installed and operated properly, general purpose steam
turbines are reliable and tend to be forgotten, i.e., out of sound
and out of mind. But, they can be sleeping giants that can result
in major headaches if ignored. Three real steam turbine undesirable
consequences that immediately come to mind are: * Injury and
secondary damage due to an overspeed failure. An overspeed failure
on a big steam or gas turbine is one of the most frightening of
industrial accidents. * The high cost of an extensive overhaul due
to an undetected component failure. A major steam turbine repair
can cost ten or more times that of a garden variety centrifugal
pump repair. * Costly production loses due an extended outage if
the driven pump or compressor train is unspared. The value of lost
production can quickly exceed repair costs. A major goal of this
book is to provide readers with detailed operating procedure aimed
at reducing these risks to minimal levels. Start-ups are
complicated by the fact that operators must deal with numerous
start-up scenarios, such as: * Commissioning a newly installed
steam turbine * Starting ups after a major steam turbine repair *
Starting up a proven steam turbine after an outage * Overspeed trip
testing It is not enough to simply have a set of procedures in the
control room for reference. To be effective, operating procedures
must be clearly written down, taught, and practiced until they
become habit.
