1 Introduction
This manual is part of the project documentation for a machine/plant sup-
plied by ANDRITZ HYDRO. The manual is particularly adapted and refers
to the stipulated scope of supply solely.
The manual contains essential information about the correct, safe and pur-
poseful operation of the machine/plant. The adherence to these instruc-
tions helps to avoid so far well-known dangerous situations, to minimize
repair- and standstill costs and to optimise the availability and life cycle of
the plant.
But the manual can not cover all precautions, safety instructions and op-
erating instructions of hydro power plants. It contains only the most impor-
tant information (in compressed form), which have to be taken into account
and can not compensate technical competence and training of operating
personnel.
Target group The manual is exclusively addressed to the operator and his personnel,
operating and maintaining the machine/plant (maintenance, inspection
and repair).
The personnel assigned to work on the machine/plant have to read the
manual before commencing work. During work, it is too late. This applies
particularly to people, who work only here and there, e.g. during mainte-
nance or repair of the machine/plant. In particular the following is to be
considered:
the entire chapter safety and
the safety instructions stated in the individual chapters.
Supplementing Existing national instructions regarding health & safety and environmental
instructions protection have to be added to this manual by the operator. Such instruc-
tions can regard e.g. handling with hazardous substances or availability /
wear of personal protective equipment, too.
Instructions, which consider the operational characteristics regarding la-
bour organisation, operational sequences and employed personnel have
to be added to this manual by the operator, too. This includes instructions
regarding obligatory supervision and notification requirements.

protective coatings are not damaged and thus are rendered unusable.
1.9.2 Packing
Information
Sealed packings must not be opened on the way or during handling. The
customs and forwarding agents must be informed in time about the forth-
coming arrival of such consignments. Agree with the customs official that
the goods are locally inspected.
Sealed packings are used for very sensitive components, which are stored
in the recipient country for long time.
Contrary to normal packing machine parts are completely sealed into a
polyethylene foil with welded seams in order to close the parts airtight.
Sharp corners and edges are padded in order to avoid tearing of the
packing.
Unpacking Unpacking must take place only after approval given by ANDRITZ
HYDRO.
When unpacking consider the markings like e.g. Top, or This side up
and the warning and safety instructions on crates or packings.
In order to avoid damages open the crates and packings always carefully.
1. Remove all nails and bolted connections from the cover and remove
the cover itself.
2. Remove all supports and bracings, inner frames and safety devices
to enable unpacking of the parts without damages and risk.
3. Do not remove protecting covers during unpacking; but before the
assembly.
Information
Consider the corresponding disposal instructions for an environmentally
friendly disposal of the packings.
Remove polyethylene foils carefully, since these foils can be re-used for
covering the parts.
1.9.3 Storage
NOTICE
Wrongly stored parts can suffer damage after a short period of time due to
climatic influences, which lead to re-treatment or re-machining.
Consider the manufacturer's data regarding storage of individual parts at
any time.
NOTICE
In order to avoid rust film on parts made of stainless steel, store them
always separately from parts made of C-steel.
As far as possible leave the parts in their original packing.

Special caution is required when piling wooden crates.
In open-air Support the parts approx. 15 20 cm from the floor safely on wooden
storage areas beams, which are covered with plastic.
(outdoor storage) Store the parts in a way that rain water can run-off (preferably in
inclined position).
If covers are used, provide sufficient ventilation.
Remove wooden covers from flanges or similar things (prevention of
corrosion).
Enable access to the stored parts from all sides.
If necessary protect the parts against external mechanical influences.
In covered Support the parts approx. 15 20 cm from the floor safely on wooden
storage areas beams, which are covered with plastic.
Store small and particularly not packed parts in storage racks.
Take fire-protection regulations into account.
Provide sufficient ventilation and lighting.
Ensure that packings are not destroyed by vermin and rodents.
NOTICE
Rubber parts, which are stored outdoors, suffer damage after a short
period of time due to ozone, UV-radiation and different temperatures.
Thus a later use is not possible.

The plant is designed for parallel mains operation with level control.
Due to the water level in the water catchment, the nozzle is opened and/or
closed by pulses in parallel mains operation. The position return of the
nozzles is effected by means of an electrical position encoder with
analogous output (420mA).
When commanded by the control, the deflector is retracted or extracted.
When the deflector is removed from the water jet, the spring in the
deflector cylinder is tensed. The position return of the deflector is effected
by means of two limit switches in the deflector drive (RETRACTED
position or EXTRACTED position).
When commanded by the control, the shut-off device is opened and
closed, respectively. The position return of the shut-off device is effected
by means of two limit switches (shut-off device OPEN or shut-off device
CLOSED).
Prior to starting the plant it must be ensured that the intake, the pressure
pipe and the tail water channel are cleared from obstacles so that water
may flow into and out of the plant without any trouble.
NOTE
Stones and objects in the intake and the pressure pipe may cause
damage to the shut-off device, the control valve, the nozzles and/or
the runner or even the destruction of these components.
Damages components shall be inspected immediately and replaced if
necessary.
After performing work on the water catchment, in the sand trap and on the
pressure pipe as well as after dismantling fittings, valves, etc. it must be
ensured by appropriate measures that no obstacles (stones, materials,
tools, etc.) have been left in the pressure pipe, the fittings/valves or the
pipework.
WARNING
If a fitting (e.g. pipe breakage cover) closes at the intake of the
pressure pipe or within the pressure pipe under insufficient
ventilation conditions, negative pressure may occur in the pressure
pipe and the turbine.
Negative pressure in pipes and fittings may result in damage to them or
their destruction.
It must be ensured that a pressure pipe vent (e.g. by means of a
ventilation valve, ventilation pipe, etc.) is provided downstream of each
fitting (e.g. pipe breakage cover).
In order that the turbine may be started, the following conditions must be
met:
The pressure pipe must be filled and the minimum pressure must be
reached.
The relevant fittings in the water catchment and the pressure pipe (e.g.
pipe breakage covers, gate in catchment, etc.) must be opened.
The Operation Manual for the control unit is included in the project specific
operation manual in the chapter Control.

6.5.2 Turbine
DANGER
Opening valves and fittings under pressure imposes danger to life!
WARNING
Changing opening and closing times may result in water hammers
and consequently to damage on and destruction of the turbine,
valves, pipework and pressure line.
The opening and closing times set upon start-up must not be changed.
A leakage check of the housing bushings and all flanged connections shall
be performed every week. If leakage is detected, seals shall be replaced.
Corrosion protection shall be checked for damage annually. Damage
detected on corrosion protection shall be ground off, and new corrosion
protection is to be applied.
6.5.2.2 Runner
Upon the start-up tests, the runner is to be checked visually for abrasion,
cavitation and other damage. An initial crack test (hub and vanes) is to be
performed after approx. 2,000 3,000 operating hours. The
recommended test procedure to be applied is the dye penetrant
procedure.
Other visual and crack test shall be performed annually. Depending on
the contamination level of the water and the runner condition, visual and
crack tests shall be performed at shorter intervals!
Cracks detected shall be reported to the supplier immediately in writing
together with location sketches so that the damage may be evaluated and
repair work may be coordinated. Erosion damage might be remedied by
grinding.
Welding repair work is only permissible if electrodes of the same type are
used. Depending on the scope of repair work, the runner shall be stress-
relieved and re-balanced upon welding.
Weld procedure see Vol. 1 Chap .
Heat Treatment Protocol see Vol. 1 Chap..
Grinding Templates see Vol. 1 Chap.
All welding and grinding repair work may only be performed by qualified
expert staff.
WARNING
Never use lubrication agents based on molybdenum disulphide such
as Molykote, Never-Seeze or the like when applying clamping
elements.
HINWEIS
Prior to installation or dismantling of the runner, the clamping element
manufacturer's instructions in the "Turbine Mounted-in Components"
register are to be read and strictly observed.
The final condition of the runner installation is shown in drawing "Runner
on shaft end" in the "Drawings" register. The relevant data (in particular the
indicated tightening torques) must strictly be observed.
Runner installation
The clamping element is delivered ready to use. Should it be dismantled
for any reason whatsoever, the orientation of the sections and the position
of the thrust rings must be observed. These are only mounted correctly if
no holes are located below the threaded holes of the outer ring. The
computation of the transferable torque is based on a friction coefficient of
=0.12 which is received by the rings, the bolts and the slightly lubricated
seats of the clamping element.
1. Make sure that the surfaces of the clamping bolts, the 3 rings of the
clamping element, the generator shaft and the runner hub are clean
and slightly greased and that the slots of the clamping element are
matched.
2. Release bolts by a minimum of 2 revolutions. Place mounting disc on
clamping element and turn in a minimum of two bolts into the draw-
off thread of the outside thrust ring (2) in order to separate the ring
from the outer ring.
Fig. 2: Clamping element ready for installation: 1) bolts, 2) outside thrust ring,
3) outer ring, 4) rear thrust ring
3. Separate the rear thrust ring from the outer ring using the threaded
alignment bars. Slightly compress the clamping element using the
clamping set so that the diameter becomes somewhat smaller than
the inside diameter of the runner hub. The clamping set is to be
mounted in a manner so that the clamping element may be pushed
into the runner hub as far as possible during installation. Make sure
that the outer ring surface is not damaged.
Fig. 3: Clamping element with mounting disc (with threaded alignment bars) and
clamping set.
4. Mount wheel intermediate flange and O-type sealing ring on runner.
WARNING
Overload on the hand wheel may result in a rupture of the thread in
the hand wheel.
In order to prevent the clamping element or the runner from dropping
down, the locknut must continuously be repositioned to the elevation of the
hand wheel.
8. After insertion of the clamping element into the runner hub, the
clamping set may be removed.
9. Make sure that the rear thrust ring is forced to the intermediate
wheel flange and the intermediate wheel flange is forced to the shaft
shoulder, respectively, by means of the threaded alignment bars.
Subsequently bring the bolts used for separating the rings back into
their original positions. All clamping bolts are to be tightened
manually crosswise first. Make sure that tightening is not
commenced on the bolts near the gap. Make sure that the outside
thrust ring is positioned in parallel to the shaft contact surface and
that the outer ring is pushed over the rear thrust ring before the end
ring is pushed into the outer ring.
10. Check that the runner is in the correct position. The runner edges
must be aligned on the elevation of the nozzle tip.
11. Tighten the bolts using a torque wrench. This wrench is to be set to
approx. 5% over the torque Ma indicated in the drawing. Tighten
bolts by revolutions crosswise, each.
12. When the bolts are tightened so that the runner keeps its position,
the runner carriage may be lowered.
13. Continue tightening the bolts using the wrench set to a torque of 5%
over the specified value by turning the bolts by revolutions
crosswise, each, until they are fixed tightly. Finish with some
additional pulls in order to compensate a potential lowering of the
rings or the bolts. Without the slight overload of 5%, numerous
additional pulls could be required in order to achieve the specified
tension.
14. Set the torque wrench back to the specified torque (Ma, in
accordance with drawing "Runner on shaft end") and check the
correct seat of all bolts. None of them must be movable anymore,
otherwise repeat step 13 once or twice. It is not necessary to check
the tightening torque subsequently during operation.
15. Dismantle mounting disc, hand wheel and threaded bar.
16. Install wheel end disc with O-type sealing ring and tighten the
hexagonal bolts to the torque indicated in drawing "Runner on shaft
end" and secure them using LOCTITE 243. Clean wheel end bolt
and the tread (using acetone or thinner), slightly tighten the wheel
end bolt manually, secure it using LOCTITE 262 and seal it with the
silicon sealant LUCATO.
Runner dismantling
Basically, the runner is dismantled in the reversed order of the installation.
The following items, however, are to be observed:
Information
In order to avoid damage to the bolts, the draw-off threads and the
draw-off surfaces on the rings during dismantling, it must be ensured
that the bolt ends are ground even and provided with a 45 chamfer.
Fig. 4: Drawing off outside thrust ring (2) from outer ring (3)
ATTENTION
Loose rings may drop accidentally
Make sure that the outer ring and the rear thrust ring are still fixed.
9. Mount mounting disc using threaded bar so that the holes of the
mounting disc are located beneath the draw-off threads (see figure
3) in the outer ring. Mount spacer sleeve, hand wheel, locknut and
washer.
10. Turn in the prepared jacking bolts in all draw-off threads of the outer
ring and draw off outer ring from the rear thrust ring. Procedure as
described under item 7.
Fig. 5: Drawing off outer ring (3) from rear thrust ring (4)
11. Lower outer ring, rear thrust ring and mounting disc by means of the
hand wheel and remove them.
WARNING
Overload on the hand wheel may result in a rupture of the thread in
the hand wheel.
In order to prevent the clamping element rings from dropping down,
the locknut must continuously be repositioned to the elevation of the
hand wheel.
ATTENTION
Should the threaded bar be turned out during this procedure, the
mounting disc, the hand wheel and the clamping element rings might
drop accidentally.
Make sure that the threaded bar is not turned out from the generator shaft
during this procedure.
ATTENTION
Prior to reaching into the nozzle (nozzle, needle tip, drive), it must be
ensured that the nozzle is depressurized and de-energized, and that
unintentional movements of the drive are excluded.
The needle tip and nozzle are checked for leakage every month.
Leakages indicate damaged needle tips and/or nozzles. The reasons as
well as causes for leakages must be identified and remedied.
NOTE
Damaged or worn-out nozzles and/or needles affect the water jet
quality. This may result in damage to the runner, the deflector and
the housing installations.
Damaged or worn-out nozzles and/or needles are to the repaired and/or
replaced.
The visual check is intended to identify leakages on the nozzle and at the
O-type sealing rings (waterside) as well as cracks and abrasion damage.
Especially the needles and nozzles are to be checked for damage and
abrasion. The nozzle set should always be in a proper condition since
comparatively minor damage may have an adverse effect on the jet
already.
The function of the nozzle drives (opened/closed) and closing/opening
times as well as the stroke have to be checked. Jerky movements are not
permissible. In case of deviations as against the values at start-up, the
reasons and causes have to be identified and remedied.
The bearing of the nozzle bar is maintenance-free.
6.5.2.5 Deflector
ATTENTION
Prior to reaching into the deflector adjustment device, make sure that
the deflector drive is depressurized and de-energized, and that
unintentional movements of the drive are excluded.
It must be considered that the deflector drive includes heavily pre-
tensioned springs.

NOTE
Key maintenance work for the hydraulic unit is summarized below.
This summary shall not release the Client from observing the terms and
instructions of the hydraulic unit supplier.
For further information on the hydraulic unit maintenance, please refer to
the "Hydraulic Unit Documents" register.
Check pipework and hydraulic hoses for damage and traces of oil
leakage. In case of visible damage, the relevant components are to be
replaced.
Check oil level in oil tank. In case of low oil level, the cause is to be
identified and oil is to be refilled.
Check paint coating of surfaces with mere air contact for damage and
corrosion. Paint-coating shall be repaired as appropriate.
WARNING
The use of nitrogen in confined spaces may cause death by
suffocation.
When using nitrogen, rooms must always be ventilated. It must particularly
be observed that nitrogen is heavier than air and hence collects in hollows
and depressions.
Pressure checks in the bladder accumulator and recharging of the
accumulator may only be performed by qualified staff experienced and
trained in handling nitrogen and pressure fittings.
NOTE
Only use dry nitrogen from 200 bar pressure cylinders from a
renowned gas supplier.
Information
For recharging nitrogen, a standard charging fitting is required.
ATTENTION
When the cylinder valve is open, nitrogen may leak from the
accumulator
Prior to placing the charging fitting it must be ensured that the cylinder
valve is closed and hand wheel A is fully turned out.
1. Stop machine.
For charging nitrogen into the accumulator, the steps below must now be
followed:
8. If you open the gas cylinder valve now, nitrogen flows into the
bladder accumulator. At the same time, the manometer indicates the
gas cylinder pressure.
9. Intermediately close the gas cylinder valve time and again in order to
check the bladder accumulator pressure on the manometer. Only
charge the accumulator up to the pressure marked on the
accumulator head. In systems with a max. oil pressure of 110-
115 bar, the charging pressure of the bladder accumulator amounts
to exactly 67 bar with an oil pressure of 0 bar.
10. If you have achieved the accumulator charging pressure, close the
gas cylinder valve.
11. Now close the bladder accumulator valve using hand wheel A.
12. Subsequently relieve the nitrogen pressure from the charging hose
and fitting by opening hand wheel D.

Key maintenance work for the penstock drain pipe is summarized below.
This summary shall not release the Client from observing the terms and
instructions of the part components suppliers.
For further information on the maintenance of the shut-off device, please
refer to the "Shut-off System Documents" register.
The pipework of the penstock drain pipe is to be checked for vibration after
extended operation. Increased vibration indicates an increased flow
speed in the drain pipe. Its cause may be a worn-out pressure-reducing
orifice.
Worn-out pressure-reducing orifices must be replaced.
The shut-off device in the drain pipe is to be checked monthly. Leakages
indicate worn sealing elements. The reasons and causes have to be
identified and remedied.
In order to clean the drain pipe from deposited particles, the penstock
drain pipe is to be purged at least annually, depending on the particle
contents in the water. At the same time, vibration in the pipe, at the shut-off
device and at the orifice shall be checked.
Extended shutdown times may result in deposits in the drain pipe and
consequently to a reduced pipe cross-section!
The tightening of the bolts from the cover plate package downstream of
shut-off device should be controlled annually and additionally before and
after each use of the penstock drain pipe.
During inspections, the diameter of the orifice downstream of the control
valve is to be measured. The orifice diameter is specified in the parts list in
the "Drawings" register.
