Q

What is the purpose of the M-43 rollback relief valve?

A

On shut down, the engine coasts to a stop then typically rolls back to its final resting position. This small amount of rollback provides several revolutions on the lube oil pump in the reverse direction. Since there is a foot valve in the sump, this section of pipe would be pressurized without this relief present.

16
Q

What is the power supply for the M-43 auxiliary lube oil pump M-49?

A

M-49 aux lube oil pump is powered from diesel/commercial MCC 670-E-15.

17
Q

Describe M-43 DG lube oil temperature control.

A

L.O. TCV-12-2B (3-way) controlled by TIC-12-2B. Controls oil flow around or through the L.O. heat exchanger.
Temp switch TIS-12-1B monitors temp and actuates at 190F.

18
Q

What is the purpose of M-43 L.O. Recirc Pump M-53?

A

Constant filtering of lube oil through the recirculation filter.

19
Q

What is the power supply for M-43 L.O. Recirc Pump M-53?

A

M-53 is powered by 670-E-11.

20
Q

Describe the operation of M-43 LO Recirc Pump M-53.

A

Starts after diesel is started when oil temp reaches 150F. Must be restarted manually on loss and subsequent restoration of diesel power. Normally operates as long as the diesel is running.

21
Q

Give the two automatic engine shutdowns for M-43 DG.

A
  1. Low LO Pressure (35 psig)
  2. Overspeed (396-424 RPM)
22
Q

Give the three M-43 DG Manual Shutdowns.

A
  1. Load Limit knob on governor (Closes fuel rack when rotated to 0)
  2. Manual shutdown lever
  3. Emergency shutdown lever (panel TR-12-2)
23
Q

Draw the M-43 DG Jacket Water system.

A
24
Q

What are the cooling and makeup water sources for the M-43 DG?

A

UCW supplied to the tube side of jacket water HX
LDW is the makeup source and is added via the expansion tank

25
Q

What are the full load conditions for the M-43 jacket water system?

A

500 GPM flow
170F out, 150F in

26
Q

What loads on the M-43 DG are supplied by UCW?

A

Combustion air cooler
Lube oil HX
Jacket water HX

27
Q

Describe backup cooling for M-43 DG.

A

On UCW failure:
Check valve opens to supply SCS
On loss of both UCW and SCS (or UCW below 50 psig):
PCV-4-7 opens at 50 psig UCW and admits firewater from reactor lower EFIS line

28
Q

Describe operation of the auxiliary jacket water pump on M-43 DG.

A

Microswitch SS-12-2B starts aux jacket water pump (closes when fuel rack closes)
Energizes a timer which starts the aux jacket pump if in auto
Runs for 5 minutes then stops the pump

29
Q

Describe the operation of the aux lube oil pump on M-43 DG.

A

Microswitch SS-12-3B starts aux lube oil pump (in auto)
Energizes timer
Runs for 5 minutes then stops the pump

30
Q

Give the auto starts for Aux Jacket Water Pump M-61 for the M-43 DG.

A
  1. Starts on loss and subsequent restoration of diesel-comm power
  2. Starts on 195F TIS-12-15B temp switch
31
Q

What is the power supply for the M-43 aux jacket water pump M-61?

A

Diesel/Commercial MCC 670-E-15

32
Q

What is the capacity of the M-43 DG jacket water expansion tank M-62?

A

150 gallon capacity

33
Q

What is the makeup source for jacket water on M-43?

A

LDW

34
Q

How many starts does the starting air system for M-43 DG supply from 250 psig?

A

5-8 starts.

35
Q

What is the backup method for air start of M-43 DG?

A

Plant air at 120 psig can technically start the M-43 DG.

36
Q

Describe the air start system for the M-43 DG.

A

Two 14 cfm compressors and two receivers in the second basement, HDW room.

37
Q

How does a loss of high pressure air impact the M-43 DG while running?

A

M-43 would continue to run but would lose its low lube oil pressure automatic shutdown.

38
Q

What is the purpose of 670-E-77 Emergency Electrical DG Startup Panel (ESP)?

A

Located in diesel pit west end and south of M-43.
In case of confinement evac, E-77 ESP provides a remote means of closing the M-43 gen and field breakers on E-3.
Pistol grip switches inside E-77 ESP open or close the UCW pump breakers in E-3.

39
Q

How do you start the M-43 DG if power is not available to the standby lube oil pump?

A

AMOT reset handle must be held in the reset position to allow start (can be released after lube oil pressure >40 psig)
