Q

What is the purpose of the seal oil vacuum tank?

A

Lube oil enters through spray nozzles and a float valve to remove gases from the oil.

Remaining gases are removed from the recirculating flow.

Q

What happens to the oil in the vacuum tank if normal LO supply is not available?

A

SO is automatically recirculated and returned to the vacuum tank via the seal drain.

Q

What is the purpose of the main SO pump?

A

Takes suction from the vacuum tank and pumps oil to the shaft seals at approx. 83 psig

15
Q

Where is the main SO pump located?

A

The main seal oil skid on the 140’ of the turbine building.

16
Q

Where is the main SO pump controlled from?

A

Control room

17
Q

What is the purpose of the recirculating seal oil pump?

A

Suction from the vacuum tank.
Discharge to downward spray nozzles in the vacuum tank.
Separates gasses from oil.

18
Q

What is the power supply to the recirculating SO pump?

A

NH

19
Q

Where is the recirculating SO pump located and controlled from?

A

140’ turbine bldg

Control room

20
Q

What causes the emergency SO primo to auto start? Switch is in the auto position.

A

Failure of the main SO pump when low pressure signal is received at 110 psig at the main SO pump discharge.

21
Q

What happens to the vacuum tank when the emergency pump is in operation?

A

The vacuum tank becomes inoperative.

22
Q

Where is the emergency seal oil pump taking suction from?

A

Oil supply header

This allows the vacuum tank to fill with oil. (Causes LCV-25 to close so no oil enters the tank)

23
Q

What happens when the emergency seal oil switch is placed in the test position? Can be done locally or from the control room..

A

Testing the auto actuation of the emergency pump.

Opens valve HV-13 which simulates low discharge condition.

24
Q

What is the purpose of the seal oil filter?

A

Two in parallel, one in standby, three way valve to shift filters.
Paper filter to remove contaminants.

25
Q

What must be in operation before admitting hydrogen to the generator and until it is purged?

A

Generator seal oil.

26
Q

What happens if the main seal oil pump and the emergency seal oil pump is lost?

A

The main lube oil system will supply seal oil at a reduced pressure and hydrogen pressure will drop.

Generator load would need to be reduced.

27
Q

What happens if there is a loss of seal oil and a leak is detected?

A

Turbine trip and limits of ignition sources.

28
Q

What happens if the main lube oil supply to the seal oil system is lost?

A

It will become a closed loop system with drains from both detraining sections returning to the seal oil vacuum tank.
