1.0 EXPANSION, VIBRATION AND VALVE POSITION MEASUREMENT:

In the operation of large steam turbines certain vital parameters are


required to be continuously supervised and monitored in order to provide
information related to the operational conditions of the turbine during various
stages of operation like startup, loading, load changes and shutdown.

The special measurement system includes all necessary sensors mounted on


the turbine with flexible leads for connection to junction boxes, circuitry for
processing the sensor signal along with power supply monitoring, signal
level monitors, test circuits etc., in a cabinet to generate information about
the following parameters.

i) Absolute bearing vibrations


ii) Absolute shaft vibrations
iii) Axial shift position of the rotor
iv) Shaft expansion
v) Valve position

Other important parameters like speed will be monitored through digital speed
monitoring devices, and displayed in the unit control room. Six (6) speed
measuring probes are installed in bearing housing to accomplish the task and
one probe is kept as spare.

2.0 ABSOLUTE BEARING VIBRATIONS:

The seismic mass type pickup is mounted on the bearing pedestal. The bearing
vibrations are transmitted directly to the seismic device. The measurement is
carried out with two nos. of probes for vibration measurement in ‘X’ & ‘Y’
directions separately.

The device operates on the principle of accelerometers which uses a


piezoelectric crystal situated between the accelerometer base and inertial
reference mass. The bearing vibration causes a compression or tension force to
act on the crystal. The crystal, in turn, acts as a precision spring to oppose the
compression or tension force. The crystal thus generates a displaced electric
charge. An integral amplifier converts the charge measured to a voltage which
is proportional to the rate of vibration.

The measurement system is designed to operate satisfactorily over a frequency


range of 10 Hz to 20 kHz and measures the amplitude of the vibrational
displacement. The output voltage of the sensor is amplified in a differential
amplifier, which suppresses any interference voltages picked up by the cable.
Then the signal is integrated in an active integration circuit to form a signal
proportional to the vibrational displacement. It is then rectified and displayed.

The range of measurement is 0-200 microns peak to peak.

3.0 ABSOLUTE SHAFT VIBRATION:

Measurement of absolute shaft vibration is done by measuring the relative


shaft vibration with respect to the bearing pedestal and adding the absolute
bearing vibration to it.

The measurement is carried out with two number of probes for Vibration
measurement in 'X' and 'Y' direction separately.

The measurement of relative shaft vibration is based on eddy current principle.


The proximity probe senses the distance between the probe tip & the observed
surface. The proximitor generates a radio frequency signal, which is radiated
through the probe tip into the observed surface. Eddy currents are generated in
the surface & the loss of strength in the return signal is detected by the
proximitor for linear display on a monitor.

The vibration signals from the absolute bearing vibration measuring unit and
relative shaft vibration measuring unit are added in a computing unit for
obtaining the absolute shaft vibration. The measuring range is 0-800 microns
peak to peak.

4.0 AXIAL SHIFT POSITION OF THE ROTOR:

The measurement yields information on the position of the shaft in the thrust
bearing and on wear of the bearing. It is imperative to continuously monitor
the position of shaft as axial shift beyond permissible limits would lead to
mechanical interference and surface rubbing.

The measuring principle is same as described for relative shaft vibration above.
The range of measurement is -1.5 to +1.5 mm.

5.0 SHAFT EXPANSION:

This measurement is carried out at the LP rear bearing pedestal and is


monitored in the same way as the axial shift position. Two differential
expansion proximity probes are required to observe a ramp on the rotor. The
ramp has two surfaces on each slope, facing each other. One probe is
perpendicular to each ramp face. Signals from the two probes are processed in
a Ramp Differential Expansion Monitor which converts the measurements into
rotor axial movement.

The range of measurement is: -10 to +32 mm

6.0 VALVE POSITION:

The measurement is carried out for both the HP and IP control valves with the
help of position transducers. The position transducer is connected to the stem
of the power cylinder. These valve positions are indicated in the control room.

The output of the valve position transducer is 4-20 mA corresponding to 0 to


100 % position. The position transducer is adjusted so that maximum actuation
stroke is recorded.
