Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When installed and operated properly, general purpose steam turbines are reliable and tend to be forgotten, i.e., out of sound and out of mind. But, they can be sleeping giants that can result in major headaches if ignored. Three real steam turbine undesirable consequences that immediately come to mind are: Injury and secondary damage due to an overspeed failure. An overspeed failure on a big steam or gas turbine is one of the most frightening of industrial accidents. The high cost of an extensive overhaul due to an undetected component failure. A major steam turbine repair can cost ten or more times that of a garden variety centrifugal pump repair. Costly production loses due an extended outage if the driven pump or compressor train is unspared. The value of lost production can quickly exceed repair costs. A major goal of this book is to provide readers with detailed operating procedure aimed at reducing these risks to minimal levels. Start-ups are complicated by the fact that operators must deal with numerous start-up scenarios, such as: Commissioning a newly installed steam turbine Starting ups after a major steam turbine repair Starting up a proven steam turbine after an outage Overspeed trip testing It is not enough to simply have a set of procedures in the control room for reference. To be effective, operating procedures must be clearly written down, taught, and practiced—until they become habit.

This book was released on 2017-08-07 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the steam turbine is a relatively new development in steam power-plant practice, it is already of great importance. Its adoption has, because of its economic superiority for many conditions, been very rapid. Today, turbines of different capacities ranging from 1 hp. up to 80,000 hp. are being effectively utilized for power generation. The number of turbines in use will soon exceed-if it does not already exceed-the number of reciprocating steam engines. It follows that all successful power-plant men must now be informed concerning these machines. Steam-tuebine Principles and Practice has been prepared, for the ''practical" man, to furnish this information. It has been written to provide the operating engineer, the plant superintendent, or manager with such steam-turbine information as he requires in his everyday work. The aim has been to treat only topics of two general classes: (1) Those with which a man must he familiar to insure the successful and economical operation of steam turbines.(2) Those a knowledge of which is necessary to enable a man - one who is not familiar with the details of its design or theory - to make a wise choice if he contemplates the purchase of a turbine. Only sufficient theory is given to insure a sound understanding of the principles of turbine operation. The ''design" of turbines is not treated at all. A working knowledge of arithmetic will enable one to read the book intelligently...
