CHAPTER 2 - DESCRIPTION

2.1 General :

The turbine is of horizontal shaft of S-type Kaplan, with movable guide


vanes and runner blades. The water flow is regulated by adjusting the
angle of guide vanes and runner blades simultaneously. Thus, maintaining
fore bay water level within selected limits. The turbine shaft is coupled to
a Synchronous generator. Auxiliaries necessary for operation of the turbine
are also supplied, Gear Box, Lube oil system for gear box, including the
EOT Crane, hydraulic system, lubrication and cooling water & De-Watering
system.

2.2 Inlet Casing

Inlet casing is a fabricated steel body which guides the inflow of water to
the guide vane operating assembly. It has hub and four stay vanes
connected in between for transmitting loads. Upstream side of the inlet
casing is bolted to the Anchor frame. The downstream end is bolted to the
Outer guide vane casing of guide vane operating assembly.
WARNING: Ensure all the man holes are closed before starting the
turbine.

2.3 Guide vane Operating Assembly

Guide vane operating assembly consists of outer casing, inner casing,


guide vanes and regulating ring assembly. Outer casing is a fabricated
steel cone which guides the inflow of water to the turbine runner. Between
the outer and inner casings, radially arranged are the 24 no. of guide
vanes to direct the water against the runner blades. A cast steel bulb
(Inner Casing) is fastened to inlet casing which closely matches the inner
radius of the guide vanes. The inner casing contains a bearing housing for
a water lubricated Turbine guide bearing which carries the upstream end of

the front bearing shaft. The outer casing is fastened to the inlet casing on
upstream side and to the runner chamber on the downstream side.

WARNING: Ensure proper connection of hydraulic hose pipe between


cylinder and OPU.

2.4 Runner Chamber Assembly:

Runner chamber is fabricated from Stainless steel. It comprises of two


identical cylindrical halves joined at the flange (split flange) longitudinal to
the centre line on each side. The inner surface is machined to hemispherical
shape to form hydraulically advantageous contour which closely fits the
radius of the runner blades. The downstream end is connected to the draft
tube suction cone flange via a sliding joint (slip flange) which can be split
horizontally.

2.5 Draft Tube:

Draft tube is fabricated from steel plate with welded steel external stiffening
ribs. It consists of cone, bend and tail piece. The upstream end the draft
tube (cone) is bolted to a slip-flange which fits over the down stream end of
runner chamber. At the downstream, the draft tube bends downward,
widens out and finally discharges through an un-valved rectangular opening
into a concrete conduit leading to the tailrace. A flanged opening is
provided on the upper curved surface (bend) of the draft tube to allow
protrusion of the turbine shaft from the draft tube in order to couple turbine
shaft with the generator. A manhole is provided on the top of the suction
cone of the draft tube just downstream from the runner chamber.

WARNING: Ensure all the man holes are closed before starting the turbine.

2.6 Shaft Seal

The non-asbestos gland packing controls leakage around the turbine shaft.
The shaft is provided with a P. Bronze Sleeve. Gland packing and lantern
ring are placed over the turbine shaft sleeve and secured in stuffing box
housing against header ring.

The stuffing box will have connection for supply of clean, filtered water to
lantern ring and the leakage collected in the water box will be discharged to
drain. This design makes the replacement of the gland packing easy.
WARNING: Ensure leakage proof piping from shaft sealing assembly to
Draft Tube / Drainage Sump.

2.7 Hub and Runner

Runner has four cast Stainless steel blades and carbon steel hub and
associated internals (crank, piston rod, piston, bearings, seals etc.).One
end of hub is connected to front bearing shaft and the other end to turbine
shaft. The flowing water imparts high mechanical force to the runner blades
which rotates the runner in turn the turbine shaft connected to it.
Ultimately, the rotating shaft will drive the generator connected to turbine
shaft through coupling, thereby producing electric power. The
hydrodynamic profile of the runner blades are designed to maximise the
transfer of energy to each blade as water flows over it, and this accounts
for the very high efficiency of the BFL turbine unit. The blades are firmly
mounted on movable cranks which are located in the hub body. These
cranks are internally connected to the piston rod at one end and the piston
will be mounted at the other end of piston rod. Piston will be located inside
the Piston cylinder (Front bearing shaft forms the blade regulating servo
motor). Pressure is applied to the piston through control tubes to move the
piston rod which rotates the crank & in turn the runner blades. The blade

regulating servo motor will be operated at an oil pressure of about 50 - 80


Kg/cm2 which can be supplied to the rotating parts via an oil head
assembly. The regulating forces are transmitted through piston rod to the
cranks connected to the runner blade flanges. Each blade flange is fitted
with double acting seals. This arrangement prevents both oil leakage from
the hub and water leakage into the hub. A mechanical position indicator
attached to the control tube / Oil head assy. indicates runner blade pitch by
showing the IN-OUT position of the control tube relative to a graduated
scale mounted on the oil collector tank cover.
WARNING: Ensure proper connection of hydraulic hose pipe between hub
and OPU.

2.8 Turbine Shaft

The turbine shaft is of forged steel connecting the runner with the
generator. The upstream end of the shaft is connected to the hub body and
the downstream end is rigidly coupled to the drive end of the generator
shaft by means of a torque transmission type of coupling. The turbine shaft
is fitted with a replaceable P. Bronze Sleeve which provides a wearing
surface for the shaft stuffing box gland packing.
WARNING: Any connections made with turbine shaft, either directly or
indirectly, such as coupling, fasteners, flanges, etc., must be inspected for
slippage and loosening. Corrective actions be taken if required.

2.9 Oil Head Assembly

Its function is to control runner blade angle. This is provided with pressure
relief valves to release the leakage oil under pressure. It is important to
ensure that these pressure relief valves are properly set at the required
pressure and not tightened fully. Oil collector tank is provided to collect the

leakage oil. M/s FAR Hydraulics rotating union is connected to the end of
control tube which allows the oil for opening or closing port as required.
WARNING: It is not advisable to run the turbine when the runner
blade servo motor is hunting.

2.10 Guide Bearing

Turbine guide bearing is water lubricated bearing fitted at the upstream of


the runner in guide ring which bolted to inner guide vane casing. Clean
filtered water is supplied to the bearing for lubrication and flushing. The
bearing is designed to take the radial load of the turbine. The bearing is
accessible from manhole provided at the upstream end of the inlet casing
for maintenance & inspection.

Warning: It is not advisable to run the turbine without cooling


water to the bearing

2.11 Hydraulic System: Ref. O&M manual provided by M/s Yuken India Ltd for

detailed information. The hydraulic system operates both the runner blade
servo motor, guide vane hydraulic actuator & generator brakes. Pressure
through out the system is continuously maintained at a pre-set level. This
system is provided with accumulator (Piston type) of sufficient size for
emergency shutdown of turbine. Solenoid operated Directional control
valves within the hydraulic system are electrically interconnected with the
electronic governor to operate and set the pitch of the runner blades as well
as to set the guide vane position.

Warning: The operating pressure of the system should not exceed


90 bars. Accumulator charging pressure should be 38 bars.

2.12 Cooling Water System:

Cooling water pumps the water from the cooling water sump and supplies
to the turbine guide bearing, stuffing box & Bearing LOS heat exchanger.
Filtered water is provided continuously to the turbine guide bearing and to
the floating stuffing box gland. Water coming out from the Bearing LOS
heat exchanger is pumped out to the tailrace. A set of flow switches and
gate valves are provided in turbine guide bearing & Bearing LOS water
supply line. It is important to ensure the continuous supply of water to the
turbine guide bearing & Bearing LOS heat exchanger. It is not at all
advisable to run the turbine without cooling water supply to turbine guide
bearing & bearing heat exchanger. Frequent cleaning of strainers is
required to supply clean water. Failing to supply clean filtered water,
diminishes the life of turbine guide bearing.
WARNING: It is not advisable to run the turbine without cooling
water to turbine guide bearing & Generator LOS.

CHAPTER 6 - Do’s & Don’ts

6.1 Proper functioning of the hydraulic system requires the very high
cleanness level of hydraulic oil which is to be maintained at all times.
Hence, filter all hydraulic oil through a 10 micron filter before adding to
the system. Oil should always be filled through the filter/breather
provided on the tank.
6.2 Continuously clean cooling water supply to the turbine guide
bearing should be ensured. It is not advisable to run the unit
without cooling water supply which reduces the life of turbine
guide bearing.
6.3 Ensure the recommended generator lubricating oil pressure and
flow are maintained at all times, failing which diminishes the life of
bearings.
6.4 For any unusual sounds and vibration of the operating equipment,
stop the unit and check properly.
6.5 Before opening the intake and draft tube gates, ensure that the
valves in de-watering pit are closed completely.
6.6 When working with OPU, oil piping, guide vanes, runner blades,
ensure that the OPU pressure is completely relieved by discharging
the accumulator.
6.7 Do not rest the turbine drive shaft in the floating stuffing box. The
floating stuffing box is not designed to be used as a support for the
shaft.
6.8 Make sure that the drain plugs in front bearing shaft and hub body
are installed properly before closing the manhole covers.
6.9 Make sure that the pressure relief valves in oil head assembly are
tightened to required position/pressure and not tightened fully.
6.10 Ensure before Starting Butterfly valve mechanical lock should be
disengaged and while during shutdown/maintenance work lock
should be engaged
