Q

How is the hyd oil cooler affected by a loss of IA? operator actions?

A

TC control valves will fail open to the hyd oil coolers

Operator will have to throttle open the bypass around the temp control vavle and then isolate the control valve. Also goes to the CO reservoir dryer/conditioner

Q

Why is the reservoir also equipped with temp controllers?

A

they control position of the hyd fluid coolers cooling water inlet valves such that the hydraulic fluid entering the reservoir is 115F

Q

Reservoir heater/fan controls, what happens when the switch is taken to START?

Q

Reservoir heater/fan controls, what happens when the switch is taken to AUTO?

A

If temp is less than 85F the fans will start and the heaters will engage.

Fans and heaters run until reservoir goes above 85F and the heater will deenergize and fans will continue to run for 10 mins after

16
Q

how do the pumps respond to system demand changes?

A

The pump will vary its stroke to meet flow demand and maintain constant pressure.

The pump will stroke to 0 delivery when dead headed.

17
Q

what is the purpose of the auxiliary pump mounted into the main pump housing?

A

takes suction on the control oil reservoir and supplies cooling and lubrication to the main pump

18
Q

What is the auto start for the standby main hydraulic pump?

A

system pressure falls below 1300psi

19
Q

where are the pumps normally operated from and where are they located?

A

control room and 100’ turbine building

20
Q

how much nitrogen is in the accumulators?

A

1000psig

21
Q

What is the purpose of the accumulators?

A

provide an immediate 200% reserve of fluid for transient flow requirements

22
Q

What is the capacity of the 2 hydraulic fluid coolers and what cools them?

A

100% capacity each
cooled by TC

23
Q

What temp range does the hydraulic fluid cooler maintain the fluid at?

A

100-125F

24
Q

What temp would sound an alarm in the control room?

A

130F high and 85F low

25
Q

What is the purpose of the air dryer? How does it perform its function?

A

remove moisture from the hyd fluid reservoir

IA pushes thru the alumina

alumina blue good/ pink bad

26
Q

What kind of pump is the transfer filter pump?

A

rotary positive displacement pump

27
Q

How does the transfer filter pump operate to move fluid?

A

Fluid captured between vanes in low pressure in large region and forces thru higher pressure and small area

28
Q

What uses do I have for the transfer filter pump?

A

used to provide control oil flow thru the fuller earth filters for oil purification when hyd pumps are secured.

Used periodically during power unit operation for bypass filtering of fluid in the reservoir or when adding fluid to the reservoir

29
Q

What is the purpose of the fullers earth filters?

A

maintain control oil in neutral pH level by neutralizing acids and absorbing water

maintain chlorine content

30
Q

What is neutralization?

A

chem reaction that stops an evens an ionic charge

31
Q

How do we prevent overpressurization of the fullers earth filters?

A

relief valves set at 75psig

one relief valve is located downstream of both the hyd fluid pump and FCV-27 to ensure overpressure protection is available regardless of the pumping source

32
Q

When is the fullers earth filtering system normally in service?

A

when turbine is in service.

33
Q

What 2 important tasks are accomplished by the low pressure air purge in the stealth EHC system?

A

extracts moisture and excludes other contaminants

34
Q

how much of the rated discharge air of the membrane of the EHC system is used to transport moisture?

A

5-20%

35
Q

What is the purpose of the recirc tank

A

5 gallon tank that does batch mode purification independent of the rest of the system

Used during caking after replacing fuller earth filter elements, which allows the saturation of the filter media to ensure the media will fulfill its filtering function

36
Q

What are the 4 configurations associated with CO-V204?

A

closed, discharged, recirc to fluid reservoir and discharge to recirc tank

37
Q

Where can I test the auto start of the main hydraulic fluid pumps?

A

locally at the CO skid and is coordinated with the main control room during system startup before turbine is reset

38
Q

What pressure will the turbine trip at?

A

1100psig 2 out 3 logic

39
Q

how much fluid flow is thru the fuller earth filters for continuous cleanup during normal operation?

A

5% or 2.5 gallons

40
Q

how is the system affected by loss of IA?

A

reservoir temp control valves fail open due to loss of air to the controllers

CO oil reservoir conditioner dryer lose air supply

EHC dryer will lose air supply
