copt starting procedure

1. Switch on the power supply from local control panel situated in COPT platform.2. Check the oil level in the oil tank and the governor. 3. Start the LO priming pump, confirm the LO pressure reaches above 0.3 bar. 4. Start COPT condenser cooling water pump and COPT condensate pump.  5. open fully the drain valves listed below (a) Steam inlet line drain (b) Governor valve drain (c) Turbine casing drain  6. Confirm all exhaust valve are open. 7. Turn the turbine several revolution by the
turning bar to confirm smooth turning. 8. When water stop coming through the drain crack open warm up valve (d).9. Open the warm up valve slowly, when steam started coming through the inlet line drain shut all drain valves and fully open the warm up valve. 10. Open the gland steam valve (e) set the pressure to 0.3 bar.  11. Open steam to air ejector check weather vacuum is coming or not. 12. Open vacuum condenser dump valve (f) and adjust dump setting of vacuum condenser and dump condenser 13. Fire the boiler in tanker mode  14. open the main inlet valve to COPT’s 15. Open the individual steam inlet valve gradually and start the turbine. Then keep its speed at 100 to 200 rpm to warm up the turbine. 16. Gradually raise the speed up to the rated revolution in about 5 minutes. 17. Check all parameters and give control to CCR only if all parameters are normal

Why atomisation test should not be done in slide type fuel valves

Since very small needle lift is obtained in the test equipment result in an unequal pressure distribution in the cut off shaft resulting in a hard contact in a small area along with high frequency oscillations, low lubricity of test oil will increase the chance of seizure. Full lift and high lubricity of heavy oil eliminates this risk  of seizure during normal operation.( Always open and clean slide type valves before testing as cold sticky heavy oil along with small clearances can cause restriction in the movement of the spindle).

M/e trouble-what to check if Engine is not starting on air and fuel?

Engine not starting on Air: - * Low air bottle pressure or airline valve may be shut. * Air bottle isolating valve or automatic valve or distributor not functioning. * Control air valves faulty or less control air pressure. * Starting air automatic valve jammed. * Turning gear engaged. * Reversing has not taken place completely. * Control valve for fuel or start is not in its end position. * Bursting diaphragm(disc) on start airline damaged. * Fuel lever on maneuvering stand not on remote mode. * Auxiliary blower not running or not on ‘auto’ mode. * Emergency stop has activated. * Interlock is operated. *Cylinder air start valve defective or sticky. *Piston not in firing mode.   Engine not starting on fuel: - *Less fuel in service tank. * Fuel Oil filter is chocked. * Fuel Oil supply pumps not delivering required pressure. Or fuel pump tripped. * Puncture valve still active. *Fuel oil temperature to low. * Fuel level on local maneuvering stand, is not on remote stand. * Fuel rack...
