Overview of Rules for

Turbine Operation
I. Unit Operation under varying-load/Off-design
Condition
Rules/Code for
Design condition operation is only possible in tests. In
Turbine Operation practical operation, the operation is under the off-
design condition
Two operation modes:

II. Trainings on Operation and
Technology Management
1. Change rate of Temperature
2. Temperature Difference between Inner and
Outer Walls of Cylinder
3. Temperature Difference between Upper and
Lower Cylinders
4. Differential Expansion
III. Startup of Turbine Unit
When the main steam pressure is 4.2 MPa,
temperature is 320 and the temperature of the
reheater is 260, the turbine is ready for
running
Depending on the cylinder temperature of the
turbine (150-170), the startup can be divided
by:
1.Cold-state startup
2.Hot-state startup

III. Startup of Turbine Unit Cold Startup of Turbine Unit

2. Running, Speed Increasing and Warming of Hot Start-up of Turbine:
the Turbine
No warm-up is needed
Operation rules and procedures
Before the start, ensure the steam is
Speed: 0 600 r/min 2040 r/min 2950 r/min overheated enough
3000 r/min
Different from the cold startup (gradual
3. Precautions during speed increasing warming up)
Critical speed for specific checks; normal speed
changing rate

1. Preparation for the hot Start-up of Turbine:
Confirmation of the parameters and specific
operation meeting the requirements
2. Conditions for the hot start-up:
Eccentricity, temperature difference, vaccum,
draining, rotating speed and its changing rate,
expansion, displacement, etc.
3. Operation procedures for the hot Start-up
Feed-water pump, induced draft fan, flow rate,
fluidization air, secondary air, primary air,
amount of the supply coal
4. Other Precautions for Hot Start-up
The amount of coal; temperature monitoring;
drum pressure; water level of drum, steam
pressure and temperature
