Q

What is the pressure of the high pressure discharge?

A

220 psig

17
Q

Under normal operations, how many main oil pumps are running?

A

One, the other one in standby

18
Q

When would the standby pump auto start

A

Low oil header pressure of 195 psig (oil header monitored is the high pressure oil header)

19
Q

What is the purpose of the TEST push button for the lube oil pumps and where is that switch normally operated from?

A

To test the auto start feature of the Main Lube Oil pumps

Normally done from the Control Room

20
Q

What is the discharge pressure of the Emergency Lube Oil pump?

A

12 psig

21
Q

When will the 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

Only provides lubrication for coastdown since it doesn’t supply control oil or trip headers

22
Q

Where are the Lube Oil Coolers located?

A

110’ Turbine Building, at the end of their respective Feed Pumps

23
Q

Where are the Vapor Extractors located?

A

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

24
Q

What is the purpose of the 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 defectors

25
Q

What else does the Vapor Extractor do for us?

A

Removes explosive gasses and air moisture inside the MFWP oil reservoir

26
Q

What would be the adverse effect of too much vacuum in the reservoir?

A

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

27
Q

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

A

One feed pump, results in a Reactor Cutback

Two feed pumps, results in a Reactor Trip and Aux feed will be used to fill the S/Gs

28
Q

How is the 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
