Boiler Feed Pump

Basics & Its Construction

Boiler Feed Pump- Heart of


the Power Plant.
How to choose a pump for
Power Plant.

SYSTEM HEAD
It is the total head of a system against
which a pump must operate.
Total System Head= (Total static head
from supplying level to discharge level+
Discharge pressure) (Suction Pressure+
Friction losses+ Entrance & Exit losses)

alignment of the pump and the turbo
coupling.

Thrust balancing
Balancing disc is provided in main
p/p
Balance leak off pr-16 ksc.

Balancing Drum.
Due to differential pressures acting on the impeller the rotating
assembly is subjected to axial thrusts. The balance drum located
at the non-drive end is designed to keep these forces
neutralised and only the residual thrust remains, which is taken
up by thrust bearing.
The main components of hydraulic balancing arrangement are
the balance chamber machined in discharge cover, the balance
drum secured to the shaft and balance drum bush fitted in the
bore of discharge cover.
The thrust caused by the suction pressure acting on the area
inside the wear ring on inlet side of each impeller is overcome
by much greater thrust caused by the discharge pressure acting
on the equivalent area on the outlet side of each impeller.
The resultant thrust is therefore towards drive end of pump.
Thrust force varies with load on the pump but hydraulic balance
arrangement will reduce its effect enabling residual thrust to be
taken by fitting pads of thrust bearing.

BFP Bearing Arrangements

Main p/p brg

When BFP is in S/B condition motor driven AOP is in service


(Cut in Pr-1.2 Ksc), for cooling of bearings, because S/B BFPs
suction v/v is always in open condition & feed water temp.
coming from dearator is around 166 Deg C. So BFP metal &
Brg. temp. should be always around 160 Deg C, which
required cooling even BFP in S/B condition.
AOP discharge pressure- 3 Ksc.
When we give start command to BFP motor driven cut out in
auto at 2.3 ksc pr(gear driven MOP will supply lub. oil to
bearings .

BFP Isolations
1. Ensure that pump is in stopped condition.
2. Get the main motor breaker isolated ( Electrical
isolation).
3. Close discharge valve and isolate its electrical supply .
4. Close the suction valve .Ensure there is no rise in
suction press.
5. Open suction strainer, booster pump casing, discharge
line and main pump casing drain valves.
6. Open the transfer line vent, booster pump vent.
7. Close the manual recirculation valve at deaerator level.

BFP Normalisations
1. Physically check that work is complete and all men and
materials are removed from site.
2. Get the electrical supply of AOP normalised.
3. Ensure that one lube oil cooler and one working oil
cooler are charged from oil and water side.
4. Check oil level ( It should be more than 50 %)
Start AOP, observe lube oil pressure (It should be more
than 2.5 ksc) and oil filter DP (It should be less than 0.5
ksc).Check return oil flow in all bearings.
5. Open motor cooling inlet/outlet valves .

BFP Normalisations
6. Ensure booster pump,transfer line & recirculation line
vents open , Close all drains. (To avoid pressurisation of
pump).
7. Charge clarified water to mech seal coolers and jacket
cooling.

Ensure clarified water Pressure is more than 3

ksc .
8. Open manual recirculation valve at deaerator and
ensure recirculation control valve is open. Also ensure air
supply to recirculation control valve.
9. Crack open suction and observe the discharge through
the vents. Close the vent valves after venting is over.

BFP Normalisations
10. Open suction valve fully and ensure the suction
pressure is adequate.
11. Get the discharge valve and its integral bypass valves
supply, BCW valve supply normalized .
12. Open its discharge valve from UCB, Ensure there is no
reverse rotation of the pump.
13. Get the main motor electrically normalised.

Two lube oil filters provided in BFP Main pump.
1. No charging line provided.
2. No venting provided in both lube oil filters.

During
Changeover :Place the handle over nut by matching the Yellow Mark.(Half
Yellow mark on Nut & Half Yellow mark on handle)
Slowly rotates the change over handle (180 degree) so that
the pointer (bottom part of T) provided in the nut always
moves towards the Hydraulic coupling side.
When pointer moves towards Hydraulic coupling- both filters
remain in service in pointer mid position.
When pointer moves opposite to Hydraulic coupling- both
filters became out of service in pointer mid position.
The pointer (bottom part of T) shows the Lube oil filter inservice.
Observe the rise in DP of filter to be taken in service.
