Q

What is the purpose of the MTLO Vapor Extractor?

A

Pulls air, oil vapor, hydrogen, and moisture from the Main Turbine Lube Oil Reservoir through the Lube Oil Mist Eliminator adjacent to the Vapor Extractor

28
Q

The MTLO Vapor Extractor causes a small flow of cool air through the shaft bearing oil deflectors in order to prevent oil accumulation and carbonization in the deflector teeth and on the turbine shaft. How do we prevent oil vapor from leaking out past the bearing oil deflector?

A

Pressure on the pedestal side of the oil deflector is less than the outside

29
Q

What is the LO Mist Eliminator comprised of? How effective are the fiberglass filters? Where is the removed oil directed to?

removes virtually all oil vapor from the air

directs the oil to the OW system through a floor drain

30
Q

A

176’ Outside the turbine building

31
Q

8 high pressure, positive displacement pumps

34
Q

35
Q

What would stop the Bearing Lift Oil pump?

A

Lift Pump suction pressure low or electrical protection signal

36
Q

What is the interlock associated with bearings 7 and 10 and the Lift pumps? Purpose?

A
  • When the following conditions are met, the lift pumps for these bearings will stop:
  • Bearing oil lift pump hand switch in the Control Room is in Auto
  • Turning Gear Motor is running
  • Turbine Rotor Speed is less than 2 rpm

Prevents the turbine gear from disengaging during turbine shaft pulses

(with those pumps running, there isn’t enough friction to keep the turbine from rolling off the shaft turning gear)

37
Q

What portions of the header supply use pipe-within-pipe arrangement? Why?

A

Piping in vicinity of hot turbine parts

in the case of a supply header rupture, the high-pressure oil will spray into the drain header

(portions of the supply header not in the vicinity of hot turbine parts do not use pipe-within-a-pipe arrangement)

38

A

Below 12 psig

below 100 psig

39

41
Q

What pressure is maintained in the LO Low Pressure Oil Header?

A

Q

What happens if I lose the AC powered, FWPT LO main oil pumps?

A

Emergency pump discharges directly into the pump and turbine bearing oil supply lines, bypassing the oil coolers and filters

43
Q

What are the regulators for the FWPT LO bearing headers set to?

A

A

1000 gallons

In front of the turbine and extends under the governor casing

A

12 psig

NK

control room and local panel

56
Q

When will the FWPT Emergency Lube Oil pump auto start? What is it meant for?

A

Upon a receipt of a pump and turbine bearing low oil pressure of 37 psig

140’ of the Turbine building, above ‘B’ Feed Pump

continuously while the turbine is operating

59
Q

What is the purpose of the FWPT Vapor Extractors?

A

To create negative pressure in the oil reservoir, which will cause an inward flow of air through the bearings oil deflectors in the bearing housing that will eliminate leakage of oil out through the oil deflectors

60
Q

What else does the FWPT Vapor Extractor do for us? What is the oil separator at the oil reservoir upstream of the intake of the vapor extractor for?

A

Removes explosive gasses and air moisture inside the MFWP oil reservoirs

mesh type oil demister that separates oil from the vapor prior to entering the vapor extractor.

61
Q

What would be the adverse effect of too much vacuum in the MFWP oil reservoirs? Too little vacuum?

A

Can draw excessive contamination into the system and oil out the vent line

oil leaks

62
Q

What would be the adverse effect of losing Feedwater Pump/Turbine Lube Oil?

A

standby oil pump will start on low oil header pressure and losing both oil pumps activates the emergency pump and only supply the bearings while the feedwater pumps coast down

Loss of one feedwater pump, results in a Reactor Cutback

Loss of two feedwater pumps, results in a Reactor Trip and Aux feed will be used to fill the S/Gs

63
Q

How is the FWPT Lube oil system affected by a loss of TC?

A

If lost for an extended period of time, the plant will have to be shut down and the feed water pumps stopped
