RUNNER DISMANTLING

1. Mobilization/Demobilization

2. Take measurements, laser alignment of nozzles and turbine runner buckets.

3. Set up/lifting of runner carriage using chain block until it stops at the runner.(runner carriage on-site)

4. Removal of special bolts and wheel end disc.

5. Mounting of threaded bar, mounting disc, spacer sleeve, hand wheel, and lock nut with washer.
Mounting disc holes should be located beneath all bolt ends. (Mounting of threaded bar, mounting disc,
spacer sleeve, hand wheel, and lock nut with washer on-site)

6. Remove all clamping bolts.

7. Turn in prepare jacking bolts in all draw-off threads of the end ring and draw off the outside thrust
ring.

8. Remove mounting disc and outside thrust ring. (make sure that the outer ring and the rear thrust ring
are still fixed)

9. Mount again mounting disc using threaded bar, holes of the mounting disc should be located
beneath the draw-off threads in the outer ring, (see fig. 3), mount again spacer sleeve, hand wheel, locj
nut and washer.

10. Turn in prepare jacking bolts in all draw-off threads of the end ring and draw off the outside thrust
ring. (Procedure as described under item 6)

11. Lowering and removal of outer ring, rear thrust ring and mounting disc by means of hand wheel.
12. Turn out thread bar from the generator shaft.

13. Lowering of turbine runner onto its carriage by means of chain blocks.

14. Rigging/bring outside turbine runner with its carriage.

RUNNER INSTALLATION

1. Clean all surface of clamping bolts, 3 ring of the clamping element, generarator shaft and runner
hub, slightly greased.
2. Releasing of all bolts by a minimum of 2 revolutions. Place mounting disc on the clamping
element, turn in a minimum of 2 bolts into off-thread of the outside thrust ring (2) in order to
separate the ring from the outer ring.
1. Separate rear thrust ring from outer ring using threaded alignment bars. Slightly compress the
clamping element using the clamping set so that the diameter becomes somewhat smaller than
the inside diameter of the runner hub. The clamping set is to be mounted in a manner so that
the clamping element may be pushed into the runner hub as far as possible during installation.
2. Mounting of wheel intermediate flange and O-type sealing ring on runner.
3. Connect three chain blocks on housing by means of eye bolts.
4. Lift turbine runner onto carriage up to the stop on the generator shaft.
5. Turn in threaded bar into generator shaft. Lift clamping element with mounting disc, fixed it on
threaded rod by use of nut and/or hand wheel. The spacer sleeve must be mounted between
the mounting disc and the hand wheel. Insert clamping element and the mounting disc upward
into the runner hub as far as possible.
6. After insertion of clamping element into the runner hub, removed clamping set.
7. Tighten clamping bolts manually crosswise.
8. Check that the runner is in correct position. The runner edges must be aligned on the elevation
of the nozzle tip.
9. Tighten the bolts using a torque wrench. This wrench is to be set to approx. 5% over the torque
Ma indicated in the drawing. Tighten bolts by revolutions crosswise, each.
10. Lower carriage after tightening of bolts.
11. Continue tightening the bolts with wrench set to a torque of 5% over the specified value by
turning the bolts by revolutions, crosswise, each, until they are fixed tightly. Finish with some
additional pulls in order to compensate a potential lowering of the rings or the bolts. Without
the slight overload of 5%, numerous additional pulls could be required in order to achieve the
specified tension.
12. Set up torque wrench back to specified torque (Ma, in accordance with drawing Runner on
shaft end) and check the correct set of all bolts. None of them must be movable anymore,
otherwise repeat step 11 once or twice. It is not necessary to check the tightening torque
subsequently during operation.
13. Dismantle mounting disc, hand wheel and threaded bar.
14. Install wheel end disc with O-type sealing ring and tighten the hexagonal bolts to the torque
indicated in the drawing Runner on shaft end and secure them using LOCTITE 243. Clean
wheel end bolt and the tread (using acetone or thinner), slightly tighten the wheel end bolt
manually, secure it using LOCTITE 262 and seal it with the silicon sealant LUCATO.
