16
Q

During normal operations, how far open is the PW outlet valve for the TC HXs?

A

33%

17
Q

Why are the vent valves on top of the hydrogen coolers cracked open during normal ops?

A

To keep air out of the system high point

18
Q

Is the turbine cooling system safety related equipment?

A

no

19
Q

How does the turbine cooling water surge tank maintain level?

A

provided with a level control that signals a demin water make up line control valve to actuate open or closed

20
Q

What system powers the TC pumps?

A

NB

21
Q

How does the TC system interface with NH?

A

powers TC pump motor space heaters

22
Q

How does TC interface with CW?

A

cools the CW pump lube oil coolers

23
Q

Where are the TC system drains routed to?

A

OW system via turbine building drains

24
Q

What type of seals do the TC pumps have?

A

mechanical seals

25
Q

What is the discharge capacity of the TC pumps? Where are they located?

A

17,500 gpm

100’ turbine building north east side

26
Q

What type of heat exchangers are the TC HXs? Is TC in the tubes or shell side?

A

single-pass, counter-flow, shell and tube type

shell side

27
Q

Each TC HX has a relief valve for both the shell and tube side of the HXs. Where is the discharge routed to if there was over-pressurization?

A

the ground

28
Q

What is the required status of the TC HX outlet valve and TCHX bypass valve during operation?

A

one is required to be full open at all times to ensure good system flow

29
Q

What is the normal operating temp. for the TC system?

A

~90-95*F

30
Q

What is the most restrictive HX in the TC system?

A

main turbine lube oil cooler

31
Q

What does keeping TC temp. < 85F ensure?

A

temp. oscillations in support system does not occur

32
Q

How are temperature adjustments made in the TC system?

A

manually at the direction of the control room by adjusting TCHX outlet valve or bypass valve

(when approaching upper limit in the summer, adjustment to the PW outlet valve can be made)

33
Q

When will the TC surge tank pressure relief valve open? When will the safety valve open? Under pressure relief valve?

A

30 psi

100 psi

2” HG or .98 psi

34
Q

What is the impact of the plant if TC system is lost?

A

if TC can not be restored, plant must trip

35
Q

What are the loads cooled by the TC system?

A
CW pump motor lube oil coolers
generator hydrogen coolers
stator coolers
CD pump lube oil coolers
isophase bus duct cooling
gland steam packing exhauster
main turbine lube oil coolers (2)
main feed pump turbine lube oil coolers (2)
control oil coolers (2)
heater drain pump lube oil coolers (2)
Instrument (3) and service air compressors
secondary sample coolers (4)
36
Q

If there was a tube leak in the TCHX, what system would leak into the other due to higher pressure?

A

PW would leak to TC because the HX is the point in the system where PW is higher pressure than TC
