Management of Turbine Drains

UNIT - 3/4/5/6
PURPOSE:This document is prepared to guide the operating personnel for managing the turbine side drains during a unit startup ,
shutdown & normal operating condition in stage- II of NTPC /TSTPS .
SCOPE: :This shall be applicable to all the 4 units of stage - II , TSTPS ( 4 X 500 MW Units ) .
INTRODUCTION : Drains play an important role in any system charged with steam . This is basically provided to drain out
the condensate before charging steam in a pipeline & subsequently allows sufficient flow in the line for initial warm
up . Also this allows to drain the condensate during cooling of any pipeline .Normally the big headers like MS
/CRH / HRH are provided with drain pots where the condensate is expected to collect & subsequently they are
drained by operation of these drain valves . To avoid human interventions some of the drains depending on their
location & importance severity they are interlocked with certain logics or instruments like level switches & so on .
If the condensate is not properly drained & steam is charged into a line , then it will lead to severe
hammering in the line causing major damages & sometime forced outage of the units due to failure of the
support system . Hence due care is to be taken while operating these drains .
Each Motor Operated drain is provided with a manual isolating valve for isolation of the drain valve
depending on requirement . But in case of MAW 11 drain valve no isolation valve is provided . However a bypass
line with 6-10 mm orifice is provided for continuous bleeding .Some systems are provided with orifice operated
continuous drains for continuous bleeding of steam /condensate .At some places drains are provided with steam drain
traps which should always be kept in service .

Open MS/HRH Strainers drains to SDFT MS 105/106 & HRH 105/106 ( Operated from BHEL CRT ) immediately
after turbine tip out . On auto these drains open at SGC Shutdown programme at step 53 .
Open CRH Hdr Drain CRH 501 to SDFT . This drain actually operates on auto based on the Drain Pot Level
Switch actuation .
Ensure all the manual valves ( if anyone was closed ) of drains connected to the SDFT /FB-1& FB -2 / LP & HP FT
are opened as per the list attached as soon the unit has tripped .
Now ensure the temperatures are picking up down stream of the drain as soon as soon as steam flow established
( where ever on line measurement provided)
Now as the turbine rolling started the MS/HRH Strainers drains MS 105/106 & HRH 105/106 gets closed at step
13 .
After Unit is synchronisation & Load pick up is > 100 MW ensure all the following drains are closed on auto

Check all the TDBFP drains are closed after TDBFPs are loaded .
While pulling Vacuum keep the drains connected to vacuum system closed for faster pulling of vacuum . Then
slowly open one by one as per requirement .
Never operate both the main & alternate drain valve simultaneously , this will lead to vacuum drop in the system .
Ensure the manual valves of following drains connected to the UFT / SDFT /FB-1& FB -2 / LP & HP FT are opened
as per the list attached before charging MS Line .
The atmospheric drain s provided in MS /CRH / HRH line are to be kept open ( Crack ) for initial charging MS line
/ HP & LP Bypass system for release of condensate . They are to be closed after ensuring sufficient steam flow .
The Alternate drains to UFT are to be kept open initially for better Silica control in the Unit .
The Header Drains of MS/CRH/HRH Such as MS 417/419 , HRH 606/604 , CRH 501 are to be kept open till 20 %
steam Flow .
The MS/HRH Strainers drains MS 105/106 & HRH 105/106 are to be kept opened till rolling of TG set .

The temp points provided for the major drains are functioning indicated by the rise in temp when ever steam
flows in those drain .
For Charging HP/LP Bypass the HPBP Warm up Line Drains
Normally the drains are kept closed as soon as sufficient steam flow is established in the system . Such as
Close MS Line drains to IBD ( MS401/402) once the Main MS SV are full open .
Close the CRH hdr atmospheric drain after HP/LP bypass is charged & sufficient steam coming .
Close the MS /HRH Hdr Drains MS 417/419 , HRH 606/604 once HP /LP bypass is charged
