PUMP START UP SEQUENCE :

1 Start the Auxiliary oil pump and check lube oil pressure and lube oil √ √
filter DP.
2 Check motor bearing inlet oil pressure and return line oil flow. √
3 Ensure that scoop is in minimum position (<6%). √ √
4 Start-up permissive are satisfied. √
5 Start the MDBFP. Increase the scoop slowly to 15 – 18% and run it in √
recirculation mode
6 After starting the BFP, lube oil pump will stop automatically, then √ √
again check oil pressure
7 After sufficient warm-up of the BFP, When Pump discharge pressure √
and main feed water header pressure difference less then 1MPa,
Open pre-operation MOV at discharge valve. Open its pre-operating
valve; load it by opening its discharge valve

SHUTDOWN SEQUENCE:

1. PLANNED SHUTDOWN :

1 Unload MDBFP by reducing scoop position and open recirculation √

valve 100% and finally reduce scoop less than 5%.Accordingly take
load on TDBFP
2 Stop MDBFP. √

3 AOP will start in auto(At Lube Oil Pressure 0.1Mpa,),If AOP not start √
in auto start manually.

4 Close outlet MOV of MDBFP. √ √

4. TRIPPING OF PUMP

3. EMERGENCY SHUT DOWN:

1 There is the apparent abnormal noise after starting the pump.. √ √
2 If bearing temperature of MDBFP rises to allowable limit. √ √
3 If there is heavy leakage from the pump. √
4 When endangering the safety of person and equipment. √ √ √ √

INTERLOCKS : Remarks

1 Interlock will stop the auxiliary oil pump when M-BFP is running and
M-BFP hydraulic coupler header lube oil pressure>0.22Mpa（delay

2 Interlock will start the MDBFP auxiliary oil pump when interlock is cut
in and any of below conditions occurs
a). MDBFP hydraulic coupler header lube oil pressure<0.15Mpa
b). MDBFP stops
3 If MDBFP trips (1MDBFP & 1 TDBFP running), then runback will act
and load will come to 180 MW and all superheater spray valve will
close.
4 When interlock is cut in and any T-BFP trips, interlock will start MD-
