Control System Of Turbine - Failure & Maintenance

Image
  Control System The turbine control system describes the control over the opening of control valves corresponding to demand signals, and steam flows into the turbine with the help of a governing system that facilitates the operation of the turbo set in an interconnected grid system. Governing system is responsible for various function such as speed & load control functions, the start-up/shut-down controls, the over-speed control, turbine stress calculation, to control the initial run-up and synchronization of the Unit, to assists in matching the power generated to that demanded by responding to system frequency changes, to regulate the steam control valves position (and hence the load generated)in response to signal from the operator or from the load dispatch Centre, to restrict the speed rise within acceptable limits should the unit get disconnected (islanding) from the lgridoad and some protective trip functions. With continuous research and developments in modern turbine te...

Sub-Optimal Filter Performance | Common Causes and Solutions

Image
  Introduction The filters are essential for the working of any machinery and industrial machines. Generally, replacing filters provides the best performance. This indicates that several problems can arise that make a filter unable to function properly, even when it has been changed to specification. In this article, we will examine the common problem areas that tend to cause filters to not perform their best and provide effective methods in fixing the issues found. Importance of Proper Filter Selection and Installation Choosing and installing the right filter is a great benefit. Note that selecting the right filter for the job based on its specs is only half of the battle; correct installation is the second half. Even a properly sized filter can deliver unsatisfactory results if installation problems or other factors compromise its effectiveness. The main factors related to the structural featuresRelated to filter media, integrity of seals, and the state of the bypass valve, are t...

How to Effectively Manage the Cost of Lubricant Filtration in Industrial Applications

Image
  Introduction Lubricant filtration is an important practice for many sectors, such as manufacturing, mining and fleet, because of its role in preserving and prolonging the life of expensive machinery. In such cases, the cost burden of lubricant filtration, including filter change-out, oil disposal, and labor, may soon outweigh the benefit, especially in high contamination settings. Nonetheless, maintenance teams can implement strategies that drive down these costs whilst preserving equipment integrity. The importance of Lubricant Filtration Lube filtration serves the purpose of extracting pollutants like dirt, metal debris, water, and other contaminants from the oils utilized in machinery and engines. If ignored, these contaminants can cause early equipment failure, increased maintenance expenditure, and poor operational functionality. Machine Performance: Prompt filtration improves machine performance, minimizes downtime, and increases the  long lifespan of a wide range of lubric...
