System Purpose and Scope

Figure 1 & Two jacking oil systems are included in the auxiliary block of the gas turboset:
Simplified Diagram n MBV50 jacking oil system for the gas turbine and generator.
n MAV50 jacking oil system for the IP and LP steam turbine.

The jacking oil system supplies high-pressure oil to the bearings where it forms
hydrostatically a lube oil film between journal and lower bearing shell at standstill or at low
rotational speed of the rotor. This means lifting the shaft, ensuring the complete separation of
the two metallic surfaces, thus enabling the rotor to “float”.
As soon as the rotor turns at higher speed, the oil film will be formed hydrodynamically
enabled by the design of the bearing, the bearing’s clearance and the supplied lube oil. The
jacking oil system is then switched off.

The jacking oil system must always operate when the rotor is at low speed, that is during:
n Startup of the gas turboset to reduce the starting torque,
n shutdown of the gas turboset,
n turning gear and hydraulic rotor barring operation,
n off-line compressor cleaning of the GT,
n fast cooling of the GT,
n rotor turning with SSD, e.g. motor roll during commissioning,
n rotate the shaft by hand from inside the exhaust gas plenum, e.g. during boroscope
inspection.
Generally, the jacking oil system must be in operation as long as the rotor speed is below
90 % of the nominal speed.

The jacking oil system is normally not in service:

n During a complete standstill of the turboset.
n After the SSD is disconnected during startup.

The major components of the jacking oil systems of the gasturboset are:
n AC motor driven jacking oil pumps MBV50 AP001,
n lockable flow control valves MBV50 AA 010 / 020,
n non-return valves,
n pressure limiting valve MBV50 DP001,
n piping, safety and monitoring equipment.

System Description
Jacking Oil Pump

Figure 1 & The AC motor driven jacking oil pump MBV50 AP001 is a pressure compensated axial-
Simplified Diagram piston pump with variable displacement swashplate design and installed on the top plate of
the lube oil tank.
This type of pump always:
n Maintains a constant pressure by the pump’s internal pressure control valve MBV50
AA002, further it
n discharges the jacking oil exactly at the required flowrate, without excess oil flowing
through the pressure limiting valve MBV50 DP001.
The discharge pressure of the jacking oil pump – i.e. the pressure of the jacking oil system –
is adjusted by the internally installed pressure control valve MBV50 AA002.
The high-pressure jacking oil enters the bearings of the gasturboset and generator through a
hole in the lowest part of the lower bearing shell and fills the pocket provided in this area.
The resultant force in the pocket area lifts the rotor of the turboset, and generator
respectively.
The correct lift of the shaft can be verified by measuring the lift by means of a dial distance
gauge. Compare the measured value with the lift recorded during commissioning.
If the two AC motor driven lube oil pumps should fail, the AC motor driven jacking oil
pump and the emergency lube oil pump are started automatically together, to supply oil as
the turboset is shutting down.

Flow Control Valves

Figure 1 & Flow control valves MBV50 AA010 / 020 / 030 / 040 are installed upstream of each bearing
Simplified Diagram in the supply lines from the jacking oil pump. These valves are of the two-directional flow
control type, returning surplus oil back into the oil tank. During commissioning the oil flow
through each valve is adjusted until the correct rotor lift is achieved and then key-locked.

Non-return Valves

Non-return valves MBD11 AA001, MBD21 AA001, MKD11 AA001, MKD21 AA001, are
installed upstream in each journal bearing supply line to prevent oil back flow. Additional
non-return valves MBV50 AA011 / 021 / 031 / 041 are belonging to the gasturboset are
installed downstream of the flow control valves also preventing back flow.

Pressure Limiting Valve

The pressure limiting valve MBV50 DP001 protects the system from overpressure.

Pressure Measuring

Pressure indicator MBV50 CP009 is installed permanently, pressure point MBV50CP011

allows measurement during commissioning and maintenance and is not equipped with an
instrument. Pressure gauges for local indication are available in each of the lines down
stream of the flow control valves.

Operation

In general the system shall be operated in accordance with the Plant Operation Concept.

Prior to startup, the preselection of component and all relevant valve positions have to be
checked with the aid of the manual “Preparation Check List prior to Startup”:

Startup

Simplified Diagram Before the jacking oil system can be started, the following conditions must be fulfilled:
n Any maintenance is completed and all work permits are withdrawn or cancelled.
n The operating mode of the gas turboset has been selected from: e.g. normal operation,
rotor barring, compressor cleaning, fast cooling etc.
n Function Group (FG) lube oil on, oil pressure in the distribution system MBV40 is above
the preset level.
When the above conditions are fulfilled, EGATROL's sequential start program automatically
starts the jacking oil pump(s).

Shutdown

During a normal shutdown of the gas turboset, the jacking oil pump starts automatically by a
signal from the sequential shutdown program after the turbine rotor speed has dropped below
a preset percentage of the rated speed.
When the rotor has cooled down, the Function Group (FG) rotor barring can be shut down by
the operator and then the jacking oil pump(s) are switched off.

Emergency Situations

In an emergency situation the same procedure applies as during normal gas turboset
shutdown.
During shutdown of a tripped turboset, the pressure in the lube oil distribution system will
perhaps drop. The emergency lube oil pump is started automatically by the EGATROL
control system when the pressure in the lube oil distribution system drops below a preset
limit.
If the EGATROL control system should fail, the rotor must be maintained turning during the
cool down period. The jacking oil pump, is started by hand in the Human Machine Interface.
However, this pump start is interlocked until the minimum lube oil pressure is supplied by
the main or emergency lube oil pump. Thereafter the rotor barring can be started.

Protection and Fault Causes

General

The EGATROL controls and supervises the turboset.

An interlock prevents the jacking oil system from starting unless the lube oil pumps are
supplying pressurized oil. This protection is part of EGATROL.
There are no alarms initiated from the jacking oil system to the EGATROL, but there are
alarms in the Motor Control Center (MCC) from non-functioning AC motors.

Malfunctioning and possible causes

MCC not Ready

Possible causes:
n Breaker not switched on.
n Thermal protection has responded.
n One or more fuses are blown.

Required Action:
Investigate until the source of the problem is found. Take the action necessary to return the
unit to normal operation.

Monitoring Equipment
Pressure Monitoring

Pressure gauge MBV50 CP011 monitors locally the pressure after the jacking oil pump.
Pressure gauge MBV50 CP010/020, MBV61 CP010 and MBV62 CP020 monitor locally the
oil pressure after the flow control valves.

Periodic Checks

During operation of the jacking oil system, take a walk down - at least once per shift - to
check for:
n The pressure indication on the pressure gauges.
n Leaks in the high-pressure piping.
n Noise, abnormal vibration and temperatures in pumps, motors and in piping.
