Condensate Extraction Pump, as the name suggests the CEP is required to

extract the condensate from the Condenser. Condenser is the equipment
where all the steam gets condensed and the condensate is extracted out of
the same by CEPs and it goes to the DEAERATOR by moving through a
series of LP heaters, where the temperature of the extracted condensate is
increased to a certain degree.

Roll of Circulating Water system
♪ The prime object of a circulating water (CW) system is to cool the LP turbine’s
exhaust steam to convert it to condensate.
♪ The cold water from the fore bay is being pumped to the condenser by 2 Nos.
CW Pumps of capacity 16,500m3 /hr at a delivery head of 27.5 m of water
column and is coupled to a motor of capacity 1760 KW and running at 496 rpm.
♪ Typically, the cooling water causes the steam to condense at a temperature of
∼46.1°C and that creates an absolute pressure in the condenser of ∼0.1033 kg
cm2.
♪ The greatest volume change .
♪ Apart from the above it is used a cooling medium for various heat exchangers
of power plant.

Preparation for CW Pump starting
▪ 1. Check for any LC on CWPs, butterfly valves, discharge valves, condenser water box, condenser
water box inlet and outlet valves, cooling tower etc.,
▪ 2. Keep open blow down to ADPH valve by 25% and its air vent is to be opened fully.
▪ 3. Condenser water boxes air vents & drains are to be opened.
▪ 4. Check the pressure gauges in CWPs for their healthiness.
▪ 5. Check the pressure gauges in condenser water boxes for their healthiness.
▪ 6. Isolate CW to oil cooler filter, PHEs, Turbine Lub oil coolers and seal oil coolers.
▪ 7. All the pressure gauges & switches impulse lines must be made thro’.
▪ 8. Check all the pressure gauges, temp gauges, pressure indicators, and temperature indicators for
their healthiness.
▪ 9. Start one CWP with its discharge valve 10% open following the normal starting procedure.
▪ 10. After complete charging, close all the drains & vents.
▪ 11. Check for any leak in filter, Lub oil coolers, PHEs, and check for any abnormalities.
▪ 12. Open the CW pump discharge valve fully & close ADPH Blow down valve and its air vent.
22
Starting of CW pump
▪ 01. Ensure that no LC is pending.
▪ 01.a. Check the oil level in the bearings and cooling water was made through.
▪ 02. Ensure the gate valves before automatic air releasing valves in Hot & Cold tunnels in open
condition.
▪ 03. Ensure that Hot & Cold tunnel drains at minus level in the condenser sump pit closed.
▪ 04. Open the water box air vents (Front & Rear) & Close the water box drains.
▪ 05. Open the air vent sin Lub oil cooler & Plate Heat Exchanger & Seal oil system.
▪ 06. Choke the O/L water box valves to 10%.
▪ 07. Open the CWP discharge valve to 10% and isolate the valve supply when 10% contact is
appeared in the control desk.
▪ 08. Start one CWP & check that pump is running normal and air is properly released in the system.
▪ 09. After air is released close all air vents and ensure that cooling water flow in cooling tower.
After that give supply to discharge valve and it will open fully.
