    The auxiliary steam system has three main sources: an auxiliary boiler, steam from other running units via the PRDS header, and extraction lines when the turbine is running. It is used for turbine gland seals, condenser ejectors, deaeration, and flange and stud heating. The PRDS station regulates pressure and temperature before distributing steam. Auxiliary steam headers supply steam to the turbine and boiler sides for various processes like atomization and air heating. Flange and stud heating helps reduce thermal stresses during startup by controlling temperature differences between metal parts. Rotor heating controls contraction using higher temperature steam on the front seals.

    Auxiliary Steam

    System

    8 January 2019 PMI Revision 00 1


    Presentation outline
    Sources of Aux steam supply

    PRDS Station

    Uses of Aux steam

    Flange and stud heating

    Rotor heating

    8 January 2019 PMI Revision 00 2


    SOURCES

    • Auxiliary boiler.
    • Station PRDS header (from other running units)
    • Under unit running condition Steam for turbine auxiliary
    steam header is normally taken from extraction lines
    depending on load on the turbine sources may be:
     Main steam line through pr and temp reducing valves
     CRH line

    8 January 2019 PMI Revision 00 3


    PRDS Station
    It Consists of
    • Set of pressure reducing cum control valves
    • Set of temp reducing (spray) valves
    For maintaining desired pressure and temp.

    8 January 2019 PMI Revision 00 4


    PRDS Header

    • For a 210 MW Thermal Power Unit using coal as


    basic fuel, auxiliary steam is one of the important
    systems. The current practice is to have two
    different headers:-
    • Turbine Auxiliary Steam Header
    • Boiler Auxiliary Header

    8 January 2019 PMI Revision 00 5


    Uses of Auxiliary Steam
    on Turbine side
    • To turbine gland seal header.
    • To ejector system of condenser (main as well as
    starting ejector).
    • to Deaerator as pegging steam
    • For flange & stud heating.
    • Interconnection to station PRDS header for
    supplying aux steam to other units.

    8 January 2019 PMI Revision 00 6


    Uses of Auxiliary Steam
    on Boiler side
    • Burner atomisation,cleaning, scavenging
    • SCAPH charging during cold start up
    • Regenerative air heater sooth blowing.
    Off Sites:
    • HFO station: Fuel oil system heating fuel, oil
    storage tanks, pipelines, fuel oil heaters.

    Flange, Stud & Rotor
    Heating System

    8 January 2019 PMI Revision 00 9


    Flange and Stud heating
    • Used for quick starting of turbine from warm or cold start.
    • Helps in reducing the temperature difference of the metal to
    reduce thermal stress.
    • The device consists of jackets welded to side walls of casing
    flanges and special piping complete with fittings and
    measuring instruments for steam inlet, outlet, and drains.
    • The flanges and studs are heated with live steam bled from
    pipelines before main stop valve (ESV).

    8 January 2019 PMI Revision 00 10


    Flange and Stud heating
    • The headers, supplying steam to the flanges and studs, are
    provided with safety valves and pressure gauges for
    regulating pressure in the headers.
    • To check the temperature difference of the metal across the
    width of casing and between flanges and studs of the
    casing, thermocouples have been provided.
    • Careful check of the metal temp. is required during heating
    process.

    8 January 2019 PMI Revision 00 11


    Flange and Stud heating
    • The temperature difference across the width of the casing flange should
    be within 50°C. The temperature of outside flange surface should never
    exceed that measured with a thermocouple at a maximum depth
    inside the flange.
    • The difference between the flange and stud temperature should not
    exceed 20°C and the stud temperature should never be more than
    that of the flange.
    • When starting the turbine from cold or hot (temperature of metal of
    the upper half of the HP- casing being up to 250°C, heating of flanges
    and studs is permitted provided differential expansion of the rotor is
    positive and not less than 1 mm.

    8 January 2019 PMI Revision 00 12


    Flange and Stud heating

    It is not permitted to operate the flange heating device:

    • If the differential expansion of rotor is less than 1 mm.


    • If the differential expansion indicating and recording
    instruments are either out of order or disconnected.
    • In order to maintain proper tightening of flange joints, it is
    necessary to first supply steam for heating flanges and only
    then after some time to studs.

    8 January 2019 PMI Revision 00 13


    Rotor Heating
    • In case the contraction of HP rotor reaches 0.8 mm
    and that of IP rotor 1.5 mm. fresh steam is supplied
    to the front sealing of HP & IP turbines. In order to
    control the contractions of HP & IP rotor the steam
    is supplied at a higher temperature then that of the
    turbine casing at the front sealing till it comes under
    control.
