Condensate system
Start the demineralised water (DM) make up pump, if already
not running after checking DM tank level and line up connected
line.

Open both the isolating values for hot well make up

(1)
Maintenance hot well level more then of
the gauge.

Line up condensate system.

(2)

(3)

Inform electrical operator to restore power

(4)
to that condensate pump.

Check the hot

well level Hi/Low
alarm is working
air tight

After obtaining clearances form

condensate pump operator ,announce
through intercom that the pump is
being started.

(5)

Motor current should be within 18-23 amp

(6)
and not hunting.

Chemist to check the quality of

condensate to ensure That there is no
condenser tube leakage.
Take water to dearator after charging
LP heater from water side.

Condensate cycle is running healthy

(7)

(8)

(9)

Check and
maintain hot well
level at of the
gauge glass
Keep any of the
other two
available pump as
S/B putting
interlock switch
to on position.

Maintain dearator level normal by

running
condensate pump system normal.

Ensure that all permits are cleared

from
Maintainance division For BFP and
HP heater

Inform BFP operator to line up the pump.

(10)

(11)

(12)

Maintain pressure
and temp. in DA
at 2kg/cm2 ,90
by auxiliary
steam
Keep the other
BFP pumps
available on
interlocks by
putting the
interlocks switch
on P .
Feed water
system is running
healthy

Ensure that protection and interlock

are healthy. Inform Electric operator to
store power to the pump

(13)

Inform operator to line up HP heater

after checking the interlocks.

(14)

After getting clearance from BFP

operator to start, announce That pump
is being started.
Start the BFP

(16)

Watch down and note down the amperage

of pump
motor

(15)
If there is delay in opening
recirculation valves by more
than 2sec. There open the
valve remotely from UCB
otherwise trip the pump.
(17)

After 15 min. when the brg temp. gets

establish open the discharge valve.

(18)

Inform turbine operator to charge the HP

heater from feed side.

(19)

Check other 2 pump availability

(20)

CONDENSATE CIRCULATING WATER

SYSTEM

Open C.W. valves at condenser inlet

Ensure that condenser CE outlet seal pit is

establish
Start water box primary pump so as to
evaluate air in the condenser water box &
CW piping and establish initial vacuum in
water boxes so as to achieve designed
system
Start circulating water pumps establish
cooling water flow through the condensate
Place the condenser on load tube cleaning
system in service
