Index No.: 71.K156-7EO1 74M) 3 EH Fluid Supply System 3.1 System Structure and Principle Refer to Fig.2-1 “Principle of EH fluid Supply System”. Electrical heater, which is controlled by temperature switch (23/HER), is equipped under oil tank to control the fluid temperature. The cooler, which is automatically controlled by temperature controller (23/TCD) and solenoid valve (20/CW) or manually controlled by operating the water outlet stop valve of cooler, cooperate with cooling circulating pump. The pump will be activated if fluid temperature higher than the well-balanced situation. Level indicator and level switch, which are in the fluid tank, are used to recognize the actual fluid level and make an alarm when level is higher than well-balanced situation or stop the pump when the level is too low. Some field stick plug into the fluid from the top of oil tank is to adsorb the grain in the fluid. There are two same parallel main pumps, which has pressure control valve that can adjust system oil pressure, and they are commutatively standby. The out flow of pump is automatically adjusted by the system requirements. Inlet filter and outlet filter are equipped on each pump, and the alarm signal will deliver when differential pressure of the outlet filter, which is monitored by differential pressure switch (63/MPF-I, 2), is higher than setting value. The flow gauge of outlet monitors the out flow of the fluid pump, and the outlet check valve is used to protect the standby oil pump from the reversing impulsion of the high pressure fluid. Disconnecting valve, which is equipped on each pump, is used to online maintenance, and it is opened in normal condition. The relief valve, of which the setting value should be 2MPa higher than the outlet pressure, is a dump valve. It can protect the system from high S Shanghai Turbine Co. Pee 2.4.4 pressure impulsion when the failure of pressure adjusting of the pump, and it’s closed in normal condition. There is some high pressure fluid will return to the tank via dump valve if the pressure setting value of dump valve approaches to system oil pressure. This makes the energy loss and the fluid temperature higher. cuits Fig.2-1 diagram of EH supply system ater com There are three pressure gauge (GA4080, 4090 4100), which can show the outlet pressure of pump, the system pressure and differential pressure of outlet filter for system. S Shanghai Turbine Co. Index No: 71.K156-7EO] The EH system fluid pressure, which is sent to power station control desk to provide the monitoring signals, is transformed by pressure transmitter (XD/EHP). The outlet pressure of pump is stabilized by the accumulators. The signal hardware of pressure switch (63/MP) will be equipped into automatic activating loop of the EH main pump, to start the standby pump automatically if the system pressure is lower than setting value. A throttling orifice is equipped at the upstream of pressure switch, and a manual stop valve and a solenoid valve (20/MPT) are at its downstream. These two are used to test the standby pump regularly. The pressure switch (63/MP) will get a signal of low system pressure, if the solenoid valve is energized or the stop valve is opened manually. This signal will start the standby pump and the system pressure will not be affected because of the throttling orifice. Renew the valve to resume the pressure of the switch, then stop the standby pump manually, because the EH main pump can’t be stopped automatically otherwise the fluid level is too low. Alternating current motor and pump of the EH cooling system will start, if the fluid temperature still higher than normal in the condition of oil cooler’s running, to cool the fluid in EH reservoir further. Alternating current motor and pump of oil filter system has two loops, one is for polishing filter to improve the moisture content, acid value and resistivity, etc. And another is for filter (With differential pressure switch 63/MPF3) to clean the impurity particle. The polishing filter is also called regenerating unit, which consist an in series corrugated cellulose filer and a fuller’s earth filter. It is bypassed when the filter pump is not equipped in early time. The absorption capacity of fuller's earth is limited and it will be exhausted if fluid is seriously deteriorated. So it must be frequently changed. Ion exchange resin, whose filter has two kind, cation and anion, is used for ion contaminant. But it not only can’t absorb the moisture, but also release moisture in ion exchange process. So the additional dewater must be equipped with ion exchange resin. 71.K136-TE01 Index.

It is recommended that the fluid manufacturer’s instructions covering its use, storage, handling, and compatibility with other materials should be carefully followed. 3.2.2 Fluid reservoir Refer to the figure 2-3 EH “EH fluid reservoir”. It contains: Fig. EH reservoir | SEHRE Sj] ome 7.4%) 0-49 a) Shanghai Turbine Co. Index No.: 71.K156-7E0L 1. One fluid tank with sufficient capacity constructed of stainless steel. A bolted personal cover plate is fitted on the tank top. There is a manually-operated drain valve at the bottom of tank. And there are many drain and suction ports 2. Two main fluid pumps of identical capacity. Each pump, which can operate continuously, is coupled through flexible couplings to individual motor. All pumps suction is below the fluid level to ensure positive suction pressure. Fig. 2-4 EH pump The structure of fluid pump is shown on Fig 2-4. Main fluid pump, which has pressure regulator and the outlet pressure can be set, is a constant pressure updated flow plunger pump. Flow is regulated automatically to follow the fluid flow of system. The screw (28-11) is used to adjust outlet fluid pressure, which works on sleeve (21) that withstand the pivot board (9), to balance the spring force. The pivot board will turn to a bigger angle under the spring force with the pressure decreasing. This makes the a) Shanghai Turbine Co. Index No: 71.K156-7E01 fluid flow increasing because the axial displacement for every piston will increase, and the system reaches to a new balance point. Otherwise, the pivot board will turn to a smaller angle. This is a differential adjustment that the pressure is a little lower when the flow is bigger. The biggest journey of sleeve is limited by screw, so the biggest flow can be adjusted by it. The friction between the slipper and pressure plate is proportional with the outlet pressure of pump when the pump is working, and the lube fluid leak into pump casing, so there must be a return pipe to reservoir. 3. Circulation Pump The circulation pump is blade pump; it is to be used for cooling cycle and filtering cycle. It is not running in usual. The pump suction, which can get fluid via hose from the tank, is equipped on pump. 4, Strainer is fitted in each pumps suction pipe. Main fluid pumps filter cartridge can be on-line replaced through reverse pump processing, circulation pumps filter cartridge can be replaced after pump is off. 5. One control block, mounted on the reservoir top, is machined for the assembly of the following: a. Two 3-micron metal mash filters, two filters separated. These filter cartridges of filters can be cleaned and reused, but it must be operated according to special cleaning technology. b. Two check valves (Fig. 2-5), which are at the downstream of the filter of control block, installed in the high pressure fluid circuit on the discharge side of each pump c. One relief valve located in the high pressure fluid circuit in the line downstream the check valves. Fluid pressure is monitored by it and any fluid at pressure above the designed requirements will be returned to the reservoir properly. d. Two shutoff valve, normally open. Closing these valves manually can isolate the control block from the high pressure fluid header to permit "7-44 S Shanghai Turbine Co. Index.

Four hollow stainless steel rods containing magnets are fully immersed in the reservoir fluid. Individually, each rod may be removed for cleaning. 7. One magnetic level gauge is installed at the side of fluid reservoir, and fluid level can be displayed visibly. Level switch, which used for alarm S Shanghai Turbine Co.

Level high and level low-low alarm. 8. One needle valve and one solenoid valve installed in parallel in the fluid circuit adjacent to the fluid pump pressure switch. This arrangement allows the standby fluid pump start-up to be test manually and remote control. 9. One digital temperature controller, which is on the side of reservoir, displays and controls the fluid temperature 10. One in-line, spring-loaded, check valve installed on the bypass of pressure drain fluid. This allows the drain fluid to bypass the fluid cooler and drain strainer if drain pressure is too high because the drain strainer plugged or drain flow is over size, and the pressure avoid in drain main pipe too high. 11. Two fluid coolers are mounted on the side of the reservoir. The system fluid is circulated within the shell around the tube bundle while the cooling water passes through the tubes. Cooling water flow can be controlled manually or controlled by the solenoid valve automatically, whose control command is delivered from temperature controller. 12. A drain strainer is at the upstream of the cooler to improve fluid condition. 13. A cabinet encloses the electrical terminal board and the following assembly of pressure switches. a. Two high pressure differential pressure switches, 63-1/MPF, 63-2/MPF. Each measures pressure differential with the inlet and outlet sides of the corresponding filter. If the pressure differential reaches ultimate value, the switches will cause an alarm to sound, indicating that the filter is clogged and needs to be cleaned or replaced. The drain differential pressure switch (63-3/MPF) and drain strainer differential pressure switch (63/ORF), of 2-4-4 S Shanghai Turbine Co. Index No.: 71,K156-7E01 which the setting value is 0.21MPa, are equipped in new product. b. One pressure switch 63/MP senses the low pressure of fluid system and is set to close contact to start the fluid standby pump on decreasing pressure at 10.4~11.13MPa. c. One pressure switch 63/HP senses the high pressure of fluid system and is set to close contact to send an alarm on increasing pressure at 16.1~16.4MPa. d. One pressure switch 63/LP senses the low pressure of fluid system and is set to close contact to send an alarm on decreasing pressure at 9.31~10.2MPa. e. One drain pressure high pressure switch 63/PR, used for when drain pressure is as high as 0.21~0.27MPa, will give alarm. This switch is cancelled in some old products. 14. One gas-liquid high pressure accumulator, with a butyl bladder mounted on the side of the reservoir, to maintain system’s pressure to reduce pressure surge. The accumulator pre-charge pressure of nitrogen on one side opposes the system’s fluid pressure on other. The accumulator is connected to the fluid system through an accumulator block which includes a shutoff valve which enables the accumulator to be isolated from the system for testing, recharging, or servicing. The accumulator has a pressure gauge on the nitrogen side to enable checking the nitrogen pressure. There isn’t a pressure gauge on some accumulators and a pressure measure tool will be supplied with it. 3.2.3. Polishing filter One polishing filter assembly (Fig 2-7), which locates on the downstream of throttling orifice of the main pipe line, consisting of an in series corrugated cellulose filer and a fuller’s earth filter. The EH fluid crosses the throttling orifice and filter with the flow of 3.8L/min, and returns to the EH reservoir. = Shanghai Turbine Co. Index No.: 71.K156-7E01 .4Y) The fuller's earth filter can be bypassed and the fluid passed only through the corrugated cellulose filer. This happens (about 3~4 hours) only at the first time usage of corrugated cellulose filer to let it be sufficiently moistened. The bypass line passes the throttling orifice with a normally-closed valve. Each filter is also equipped a pressure gauge which indicates abnormally high pressure (higher than 0.21MPa) when the filter needs to be replaced. The fuller's earth and corrugated cellulose filters are both of the replaceable cartridge type. With the line valve closed, the filter covers may be removed and cartridges can be replaced. The cover-shell joints are provided with a gasket to ensure against fluid leakage. If the pressure in either of the filters increases to 0.21MPa with fluid temperature between 43.3-54.4°C the filter cartridge needs to be replaced. Ion exchange resin, which is used to replace the components of polishing filter, is used in new products. The cation or anion filter can be chosen according to the fluid condition. And the additional dewater device must 7 S Shanghai Turbine Co. Index No.: 71.K156-7EOL be equipped with it. 3.2.4 High pressure accumulators Additional gas- liquid high pressure accumulators are mounted in two supporting racks, which has two accumulators independently, and they are located at each throttle valve-steam chest assembly. The individual accumulators, each provided with a gas pressure gauge (replaced by pressure-measurement devices in some import products), are connected to a manifold block. The manifold block can isolate any of the accumulators through valve so the accumulators may be isolated for testing, recharging, or servicing. 3.2.5 Drain accumulators Four rubber bladder low pressure accumulators installed in the pressurized drain return pipe to the fluid reservoir serve as a surge chamber to displace fluid in the drain system during a load pump. The accumulators consist of a steel shell enclosing a synthetic rubber bladder charged with dry nitrogen gas at 0.21MPa, which provides a separation between the gas and fluid chambers. The shell is fitted with a charging valve connected to the bladder for the nitrogen gas charge. 3.3 System Operation The initial pressure requirements for the high pressure system is supplied by the NO.1 or NO.2 motor-driven pump under the EH reservoir during normal operation. The pumps are of equal pressure variable and outlet pressure can be adjusted through an adjusting bolt located on pumps. The stand-by pump will start automatically if the system pressure is lower than the setting value. The pumps all can be started manually with control switch. Any of pumps can self-start through pressure switch, connected to outlet line, which starts standby pump through a relay. Heaters are required if the fluid supply system is operated in low ambient temperature. Prolonged operation below 21°C is not recommended, S Shanghai Turbine Co. Index No.: 71.K136-TEOL operation below 10°C is prohibited under any circumstances. If fluid temperature is below 21°C but not less than 10°C, the following emergency procedure may be implemented: Turn the HP relief valve screw adjustment to the minimum pressure position and start heater and one pump. Turn the adjustment screw in to maintain 3.5MPa discharge pressure. Operate the pump for a period of time, and when the temperature increases to 15.6°C, increases pressure gradually to 7.1MPa. In order to increases the rate of temperature rises, the second pump may be started to increase the rate of heating. CAUTION /f pump noise and vibration level increase considerably, reduce discharge pressure by reducing the relief valve setting. Once the fluid temperature reaches 21°C the stand-by pump may be shut down and the relief valve can be reset to the original setting. See transitive diagram “Turbine control settings” for this setting. To reset relief valve 4k Reset relief valve to the original setting. %& Lock the adjustment screws. NOTE The above procedure may be used only under emergency conditions. Start-ups under these conditions are not recommended. Once either pump was running, it must be stopped manually by turning its control switch to the “Off” position. The control switches are spring loaded to return to the “Auto” position to place the pump once again i) Shanghai Turbine Co. Index No.; 71.K156-7E0 under control of the pressure switch. There is a solenoid valve and a manual valve that are used to test the stopped standby pump by release the oil pressure on pressure switch. The fluid pumps take suction from the bottom of reservoir through a suction strainer. The fluid is then discharged to a control block on the top of the reservoir, where it passes through the 3-micron cartridge filters. Connected across the filter is a differential pressure switch, which actuated means the filter becomes dirty. CAUTION Once the filter differential pressure switch is actuated, immediate step must be taken to change the contaminated filter cartridges. If the header pressure of main pipe decrease to 10.7~11.8, a pressure switch will be turned on and send an alarm. And the standby pump will start when the pressure decrease to 10.4~11.1. After filter, fluid passes through a check valve and a relief valve. Relief valve, which common to both the NO.1 and NO.2 pumps, protects the system against excess pressure. The relief valve drains the excess back to the reservoir if the pressure increases to 16.2MPa. Above the high pressure accumulators have the leather bag charged with dry nitrogen gas at a pressure of 9.3MPa. The system fluid pressure is stored on the outside of the leather bag for normal or instantaneous system fluid demands. This gas pressure should be checked periodically and recharged if necessary. Checking the gas pressure in each accumulator should be done individually by following the special instructions included in this leaflet under “accumulator recharging” instructions. The gas pressure may be read on the gauge mounted on the top of the accumulator or via measure tool. Since the temperature surrounding the gas will affect this pressure, pressure checks should be made after the surrounding temperature is stabilized. 14y eS Shanghai Turbine Co. Index No.: 71.K1S6-7EO1 Connected in the drain system are the low pressure accumulators, The gas charge pressure in these accumulators should be checked and recharged if necessary by following the special instructions included in this description under “accumulator recharging” instruction. The water to the cooler should be regulated to maintain a system fluid temperature of 35°C to 45°C. Cooling water flow must be regulated manually or by solenoid which controlled through temperature automatically in order to maintain the fluid temperature within the range mentioned above. A digital temperature meter, on the EH fluid reservoir terminal box, constantly indicates the fluid temperature in the reservoir. The filtering circulating system is used to improve the condition of the fluid (maintains neutralization, remove moisture. etc.). Start circulating pump, the fluid passes through polishing filter or drain strainer and returns to reservoir. The polishing filter should be operated for 8 hours constantly per week during the first month when turbine goes into operation. Thereafter, analysis according to the fluid contaminant and chemical (acidity content), and operate polishing filter if necessary. Analysis should be in accordance with rules of “care, handling, and application of control system fluid”. To further protect against fluid contamination, magnetic rods are installed in the top of the reservoir. These rods should be removed periodically and cleaned. During the time the rods are out of the reservoir, the open port they leave should be adequately covered to prevent contaminants from entering the reservoir. Adequate fluid should be maintained in the reservoir so that with the unit in full operation, the fluid level is at the normal operating level. If additional fluid is required, it is to be added in accordance with the “care, handling, and application of control system fluid” instruction. The reservoir capacity is 200 gallon a 7.94 > Shanghai Turbine Co. Index No.: 71.K136-7EO! 4. EH Actuator and Emergency Protect System 4.1 Principle of System Refer to Fig 2-2 to get the basic principle of the system 4.1.1 Actuator There are three pipes between each servomotor and system. One is for transporting high pressure fluid that is the driving power of the servomotor, which has a stop valve at the entry. If components on the servomotor need online replacing, the stop valve will closed and the pump needs no stop. A drain pipe of servomotor connects to drain header. A non-return valve, which avoids the leakage of return fluid when online repairing, is equiped. A safety header with a non-return valve can separate the servomotor without affect when it releases the safe pressure to stop the servomotor quickly. The safety header of throttle valve actuator (TV) and reheat stop valve actuators will be connected to header of emergency (AST). And the safety header of governor valve (GV) and intercept valve (IV) actuators should be connected to OPC header. The headers of AST and OPC link to emergency trip control block, in which there are two parallel non-return valves, which let the fluid can flow to AST from OPC but closed with the inverse direction, between header of AST and OPC. This can only release the OPC pressure but keep the AST pressure when overspeed protection. And OPC pressure automatically released without relevant OPC solenoid valve when releasing AST pressure. The servomotor, which is shown in Fig 2-2, are opened via pressure and closed by spring force. The servomotor of RSV is an on/off actuator, and the others are all adjustable. After turbine latch and resetting, high pressure fluid flows into the high pressure part of the cylinder, which is connected the high pressure part of unloading valve, via stop valve and throttling orifice of the RSV. The high pressure fluid flows to AST header, via throttling orifice that is on the 2 eS Shanghai Turbine Co. Index No.: 71.K156-7E01 unloading valve and non-return valve, to open RSV by the increasing pressure approaching to HP pressure. There are three ways to close the RSV. First, you can release the pressure of AST (equal to turbine stop). The second way is open the overflow valve by loosing the pressure adjusting handle of unloading valve. In this way, the other servomotors will not be affected because the AST non-return valve keeps the pressure of AST header. So it’s necessary in handle and servomotor test. The last way, which has the same effect of loosing the pressure adjusting handle of unloading valve, is to make the test solenoid energized. It can be carried out in test of remote control handle. Fig 2-2 shows TV operation principle. HP flows to servo valve via stop valve and filter, and it also flows to a two-position three-way solenoid valve via throttling orifice to establish the AST pressure. Servo valve, one of whose outlet is blocked when it used as a single-side servomotor, is equal to a three-position three-way solenoid valve, although it is a three-position four-way valve. It is controlled by electrical signal of the servo amplifier. The servo valve equals to a stop valve and the flow is blocked to keep the statues of servomotor, when the input current is zero. If it is energized, the high pressure fluid connects to hydraulic cylinder and the flows to unloading valve. Solenoid valve 20/TV is the same with RSV test valve and it is used as a direction controller. AST inlet and outlet are connected when it is not energized. The outlet and return flow is connected when it is energized, and the inlet is blocked. The 20/AST and diaphragm valve will close when the unit is latched, so the unloading valve is closed and the piston of hydraulic cylinder move to the top (move downward when it is energized by inverse current). The pulling servomotors are applied if the piston rod directly connects to valve rod. ‘And the servomotors, which applies on RSV, are called pushing servomotor. The LVDT (linear variable differential transformer) is an electromechanical transducer which produces an electrical output signal proportional to the position of actuator. It consists of three coils distributed round coil form. The alternating current that is 1kHz and 18V AC is in the primal coil. 2B S Shanghai Turbine Co. Index No.: 71.K156-7EO1 a4y Arod shaped magnetic, which set in coils assembly axial orientation and form a passage connected into magnetic line of force, core fixed actuator connecting rod. Median coil is primary and is energized alternating current. So that, voltage will be inducted in the outside two coils which are secondary coils and in series oppositely, therefore, voltage phase of the secondary coils is converse and the net output of the transmitter is the difference of these two voltages. The iron core is located in medial position and its output is null, it is called zero position. Zero position is the mid-point of actuator mechanical stroke. The output of LVDT is alternating signal, which must be rectified by a modem in order to summaries with actuator position signal required from DEH. The command voltage of DEH and feedback voltage of LVDT will be compared and send to servo amplifier. If the feedback voltage of LVDT is lower than DEH command voltage, the servo amplifier will give the plus current to move the piston upwards until the feedback voltage is equal to DEH command voltage. The operation principle of GV is similar with TV, and the only difference is that the AST header to TV and the OPC header to GV. The unloading valve of GV is the same with RSV’s, The operation principle of IV is similar with GY, the only difference is the unloading valve of IV is the same with TV. 4.1.2 Emergency Trip Control Unit The main components of emergency trip control unit are the two OPC solenoid valves, four AST solenoids, and two check valves. Two OPC solenoids (20/OPC) are responsive to OPC signal. In the event of a complete loss of load (over 30%) or if the unit should overspeed to 103% of rated speed, the DEH will give impulse signals to solenoid valve. So, all the OPC fluid in the governor valve actuator will be released and the governor valve will close quickly. The check valve will hold the AST fluid pressure and make throttle valve open when OPC pressure is released 4 S Shanghai Turbine Co. Index No.: 71.K156-7EOL When the OPC signal comes from DEH, the OPC solenoids act and all GV and IV will close. Turbine speed will decrease after remainder steam inflates in the turbine. When turbine speed decrease a little the OPC solenoid power will cut off and the solenoid closed. DEH controller uses GV to adjust turbine speed and make it near synchronous speed. And the IV will open with a controlled speed. Then, unit synchrony and load on in order to prevent turbine cooled rapidly. Two OPC solenoids are provided in system as redundant protection and prevent accident occur when one solenoid lose effectiveness. The control block is internally separated into two channels. Channel 1 consists of 20-1/AST and 20-3/AST, and channel 2 consists of 20-2/AST and 20-4/AST. Each channel is kept energized from separate relay in the emergency trip system (ETS) cabinet. The purpose of the ETS is to trip the unit by opening all of the AST solenoids when sensors indicate that a turbine variable is at a trip level. The system is designed to minimize the chance of a malfunction due to a single component failure. This is the reason for the two identical independent channels as previously note above. Each channel has its own relays and power supplies and monitors all of the turbine trip variables. The operation of both channels is required to trip the turbine. If a trip contingency should occur, at least one AST valve in each channel must be functional to trip the turbine. Each channel can be tested separately while the turbine is still on the line without causing or preventing a valid trip. During testing the channels are isolated electrically so that only one channel can be tested at same time. 4.1.3 EH Pressure Low Testing Block This block is the sampling source of EH pressure low switch. And the pressure is shown on pressure gauge. The EH high pressure fluid is imported from inlet and becomes two parallel pipelines, which link to pressure gauge and switch after throttling orifice, after it cross the inlet stop valve. The two solenoids are interlocked when testing, so they will not open in) Shanghai Turbine Co. Index No: 71,K1S6-7E01 simultaneously. And it should be noticed that the two hand control valves can not simultaneously open when starting the turbine to avoid trip. The throttling orifice will not affect the pressure except in testing. And the pressure gauge and pressure switch measure the system pressure. 4.1.4 Diaphragm Valve Diaphragm valve is the bridge between low pressure oil emergency protection system and EH system. Its inlet connects to AST header and outlet connects to drain. It is closed by the low safety oil pressure and opened by spring force. The trip signal of low pressure oil emergency protection system can be sent to EH system by the usage of diaphragm valve. 4.1.5 Air Pilot Valve Air Pilot valve is the bridge between extraction non-return valve and EH system. All the extraction non-return valves, whose compress air is controlled by air pilot valve, are pneumatic. The air pilot valve is opened by OPC pressure and closed by spring force. The air pilot valve is opened by OPC pressure to send the compress air to the extraction non-return valve which is controlled by solenoid valve, when the unit operates in normal condition. The air pilot valve is closed by spring force to close the compress air and open the air outlet, and the extraction non-return valves are all closed. 4.2. System Equipments 4.2.1 Throttle Valve Actuator The throttle valve will be controlled by throttle valve actuator (TV)(Fig3-1). Its piston rod is connected to the throttle valve rod directly. It is so arranged that outward movement opens the valve. The actuator is single acting and provides the force for opening the valve and closing spring provide the force to close the valve. 6 S Shanghai Turbine Co. Index No.: 71.K156-7EO1 97.4.) (ety . ft ZZ Fig.3-1 TV actuator The main components of the actuator are hydraulic cylinder, control block, electro hydraulic servo valve, relief valve, LVDT (linear variable differential transformer), shutoff valve, two check valves, filter and throttling orifice board. The designing of diameter of the cylinder bases on the required spring force and open force of valve. And its stroke is longer than steam valve. The control block is the place to install and connect all the components. Since the hydraulic cylinder diameter of TV is too big to close quickly, its unloading valve structure is specifically produced, As shown in Fig 3-2, the unloading valve body will be up to open by spring force when the OPC pressure is released. When OPC pressure increasing, the pressure a AAD S Shanghai Turbine Co. Index No.: 71.K156-7E01 will act on the top of body in a small cylinder to push it downward until the up seal ring is sealed (at that time, the down seal ring should remain some clearance because it is difficulty to make both seal ring sealed at same time in machining, on the other hand, the clearance in the down seal ring can be used to discharge the pressure from HP cylinder to prevent the valve body is moved up to make up seal ring couldn’t seal totally), then OPC pressure fluid can flow into large chamber through orifice to force valve body move down further until the clearance in down seal ring is eliminated. check valv to AST header Fie 12 chm wee Stop valve is used to cutoff the high pressure fluid to flow into servomotor cylinder while maintenance the servomotor online. Two check valves are on the drain header and AST header respectively. The one that on the drain is used to prevent drain fluid flow back from the pressurized drain header during maintenance on the actuator. Another check valve is used in the AST header, with it permitted to close of any actuator without affecting the position of other actuators wherever for test or maintenance. All high pressure fluid passes through the 3-micron filter. This ensures clean fluid at all times for the operation of the servo valve. The filter is designed as a metal mesh and should be replaced at least once a year. It 28 S Shanghai Turbine Co.

The first stage consists of a dual nozzle and single flapper. The flapper is attached to the mid point of the armature and passes between the two nozzles, creating two variable orifices between the nozzle tips and the flapper. The pressure controlled by the flapper and nozzle is fed » 9.4.9) S Shanghai Turbine Co. Index No.: 71.K156-7E01 to the ends of the second stage spool. The second stage spool is a four-way sliding spool in which output flow from the valve, at a constant pressure drop, is proportional to the spool displacement from null. A cantilever feedback spring is fixed to the flapper and engages a slot in the center of the spool. In the null position, the flapper imposes an equal restriction to flow through both nozzles and no differential pressure exists to cause spool displacement. Upon application of a signal to the torque motor, the armature and flapper are displaced toward one nozzle or the other, creating a pressure differential across the spool resulting in spool displacement. The spool will continue to move until the counteracting force transmitted through the feedback spring equals the force developed by the torque motor. At this point, the flapper has returned to neutral and the pressure differential across the spool is zero. The spool remains in its new position until another differential current is applied. The LVDT is an electromechanical transducer which produces an electrical output signal proportional to the position of actuator. It consists of three coils distributed round coil form. A rod shaped magnetic, which set in coils assembly axial orientation and form a passage connected into magnetic line of force, core fixed actuator connecting rod. Median coil is primary and is energized alternating current. So that, voltage will be inducted in the outside two secondary coils and in series oppositely, therefore, voltage phase of the secondary coils is converse and the net output of the transmitter is the difference of these two voltages. The iron core is located in medial position and its output is null, it is called zero position. Zero position is the mid-point of actuator mechanical travel. The output of LVDT is alternating signal, which must be rectified by a modem in order to summaries with actuator position signal required from DEH. The solenoid and throttling orifice have two functions. First, when the solenoid valve is not energized, the high pressure fluid flows to AST header and unloading valve, and it has nothing to do with the status of electro hydraulic servo valve. Second, the AST pressure will be released and servomotor will be closed quickly when solenoid valve is energized, but this takes no effects on AST header pressure because of the non-return valve on AST. n.4y S Shanghai Turbine Co. Index. No,: 71.K156-7EO1 4.2.2 Governor Valve Actuator (GV) The governor valve is controlled by GV actuator (Fig 3-5). The actuator is single action, dragging type, and it uses high pressure fluid to open the governor valve quickly and accurately to the position corresponds with signal from electrical controller. The actuator is located on the upward side of GV spring box, and its piston rod is connected with GV rod through coupling. This rod upward movement opens and downward movement closes. Heavy-duty spring makes the GV maintain close position, and actuator can overcome the spring force to push GV up to position required. mid Fig. 3-5 GV actuator The main components functions of the actuator are similar with the throttle valve actuator, the only differences are: the stroke is shorter, the unloading valve is purchased in market and controlled by OPC pressure. The relief valves of GV and EH reservoir are the same type, and it is used as the unloading valve on actuator only. It is consist of main valve body S Shanghai Turbine Co. Index No.: 71.K156-7EO1 and pilot valve, which is controlled by OPC pressure. If releasing OPC pressure, the actuator will be closed quickly to have nothing to do with electronic system. The unloading valve will return all the HP fluid to drain header and up chamber of actuator cylinder, so the drain header will not be overload when actuator is closed quickly. Unloading valve is connected with pipeline of actuator. The top of slide valve of it is pressurized by OPC and the bottom of it is by HP. They are balance in normal and the slide valve will be closed according to spring action. The high pressure will open slide valve to put all HP fluid into drain header when OPC pressure is released. Unloading valve also can be used to close the actuator manually, and the isolating valve should be closed before it to avoid too much flow releasing. Turn the handle screw out, the actuator will be closed quickly when the handle screw reach some special position. When reopen the actuator, turn the handle screw in totally then open the isolating valve slowly, the actuator will be open. 4.2.3.

Index No.: 71.K156-7E01 7.4.7) RSV spring-box, and the piston rods of them are directly connected. The piston moves up to open the valve and moves down to close it. The valve only can full open or full close. It is single acting and the force for opening the valve is applied by fluid pressure and springs provide the force to close the valve. The main components are consist of cylinder, control block, solenoid valve, relief valve, isolating valve and two check valves, etc. Solenoid valve, which is a two position two way valve, is used to remotely close the valve to testing the valve rod movement periodically. The AST pressure of RSV will be released quickly when the solenoid is energized and then the unloading valve will act to close the RSV. After cut off the current on solenoid, the RSV will reopen Notice: When the trip signal is present, the servomotor will be closed. This has nothing to do with the status of solenoid valve. 4.2.4 Intercept Valve actuator (IV) Fig. 3-7 IV actuator S Shanghai Turbine Co. Index No.: 71.K156-7E01 ‘The actuator (Fig. 3-7), whose piston rod directly connects to [V's rod, is on the top of IV. It is opened by hydraulic pressure and closed by spring force. The piston moves up to open the valve. The structure and main components of IV is the same with TV. And the only difference is that OPC pressure will act on the dump valve, but not AST. 4.2.5 Emergency Trip Control Block The emergency trip control block, which is illustrated in Figure 3-8, is mounted by side of the turbine fore-bearing pedestal. Its main function is to provide an interface between the emergency trip system cabinet and the AST fluid header, and between DEH and OPC fluid header. to HP header with orifice ope block ieataaan to AST header ‘to HP header with orifice / sty <0 br.

Index No. 71.K156-7E01 controller) solenoid valves, four AST (auto stop trip) solenoids, and two check valves. All the solenoids are installed on the control block, which provides the necessary internally machine passage in order to connect the various components. The ports of openings or drilled passages, which were necessary to connect internal holes are permanently plugged. Each of these plugs has an “O” ring for sealing purposes. In all case, new “O” ring should be used when the plug is replaced. WB OPC principle Fig. 3-9 OPC, AST solenoid The solenoids are illustrated in Figure 3-9. The OPC solenoids differ from AST solenoids in that the “OPC” are piloted internally fluid supply, normally closed, DC power-off close while the “AST” solenoids are piloted externally from the HP header, normally open, AC power-off open. Function and number on Figure 2-2 identify each of the solenoids, AST solenoids are 63-1~4/AST, and OPC solenoids are 63-1~2/OPC. Four AST solenoids (20/AST) are two stage action valves with the first stage normally energized closed. The orifice fluid enters the second valve. The solenoid valve, being energized closed blocks the path of the fluid to drain. It will block the fluid flow of the AST header to drain and safe fluid pressure can be build up under the various valve actuators.

When turbine operated normally, overspeed trip lubricating oil pressure enters the chamber at the upside of the diaphragm mounted in the valve cover. The pressure that acts on the diaphragm overcomes the force of spring, blocks up the AST header drain passage and makes EH system function put into work. Pay attention with the direction of valve while installation, if the direction is reverse, the acting pressure will be changed. Adjusting the reset force of springs, the acting pressure can be changed. The single or cooperative actions of overspeed trip mechanism or manual S Shanghai Turbine Co. Index No.: 71.K1S6-7E01 overspeed test lever will cause a loss or decay of the lubricating oil pressure and allow the compression spring to open the valve and release the AST fluid to drain.
