Plant area: TURBINE TESTING SCHEDULE FOR COMMISSIONING OF HP HEATERS SL.NO 1.0 PLANT DETAILS Regenerative Feed heating system of Simhadri STPP consists of one drain cooler, three LP Heaters one deaerator and four HP Heaters. There are two sets of HP Heater 5A/6A and 5B/6B. Extraction 5A and 5B are taken from IP Turbine casing. Extraction 6A and 6B are taken from CRH. The condensed steam after heating the Feed Water is normally fed to the next lower heater and emergency drains are provided to HP flash tank. The technical data for HP Heaters as follows. 1.1 HP Heater 5A and 5B Type : Shell and Tube Shell side Medium Design Pressure Design Temperature Test Pressure Test Temperature Inlet Temperature Outlet Temperature No. of.

Testing Schedule: TESTING SCHEDULE FOR COMMISSIONING OF HP HEATERS STATUS 7.7 Commissioning of following valves associated with the system are complete (a) Extraction isolating valves (b) Extraction steam drain valves (c) Heaters start up vent valves (d) Feedwater isolating valves and group bypass valves for the heaters. (e) Heaters drain control valves. Extraction oil relay for QCNRV of extraction piping are set to operate at recommended secondary oil pressure. Simulation checking of all interlocks and protections are complete. Feed water charged to all Heaters and BFP in service All local and remote instrumentation of heaters complete. METHOD Commissioning of HP Heaters 5A and 6A Ensure Feed water charged to HP Heaters 5A and 6A, its bypass isolation closed. Ensure isolating valves of drain control valves are open. Ensure level switches, level transmitters and level gauge glass are charged. Ensure extraction oil relay in governing rack is set to operate at required secondary oil pressure.

Plant Area: INSTRUMENT / EQUIPMENT Testing Schedule: ELECTRONIC MODULE OF DDCMIS 8.1.5 Ensure isolating valve in oil line for QCNRV is open and its slide valve in open position. Open shell side start up vent for HP Heater 5A and 6A. Ensure interlock in ATRS for solenoid valve A5 are available and checked. Ensure the following interlock protection for any one of Heaters 5A, 6A level very high. (a) Closure of Extraction steam valves for the HPH bank (HPH 5A and 6A) (b) Opening of extraction line drain valves (c) Bypassing of HPH bank on feed water side (d) Opening of emergency drain control valve to flash tank 8.1.9 8.1.10 8.1.11 8.1.12 Ensure turbine load more than 40% Keep feed water valves on auto. Charge extraction steam to HPH 5A gradually with drain control valve to flash tank (emergency drain) in open position. As the heater shell pressure increases more than deaerator pressure, open drain control valve to deaerator (normal drain). Build up heater level to normal operating level and ensure control valve operation on auto. Observe temperature raise in feed water outlet of heater. Close startup vent of HPH5A and keep continuous operating vent in open condition.
