When removing the packing rings, be sure to keep each ring by itself. Note that the
ring segments are marked; these marks should be placed together when fitting or
replacing the rings in the turbine. When gland leakage indicates the necessity of
packing ring maintenance, it is recommended that new rings be installed.

New packing rings furnished by Dresser-Rand will be made with the correct
diametral clearance, based on the original contract steam conditions. A packing
ring diagram, EW-33275 located in Appendix A, shows the part number and
location of each ring in the turbine.
When it is necessary to refit old rings (due to emergency condition) remove a small
amount, approximately
0.001”/0.025 mm from the ends of each segment,
maintaining flat square ends. The diametral clearance between the carbon rings
and the shaft should be as specified in the Packing Ring Diagram.
When installing new rings, the shaft surface should be smooth and highly polished,
clean and free of dust, water or oil. The spacer rings should be clean and smooth
with a true surface. If the sealing surface of the spacer ring is warped, the carbon
ring cannot seal. Warped spacer rings should be replaces. To install new carbon
rings, see Figure L-6 for procedure.

Casing Labyrinth Seal Removal and Replacement
No field repairs of labyrinth are recommended. Slight deposits of the labyrinth on
the turbine shaft is an acceptable condition.
When installing new labyrinth rings, polish the shaft clean to remove any deposits
which may have formed.
Make sure that the quadrants of each ring are matched and that the rings are
installed in their proper position as identified in the packing ring diagram, EW-
33275. On installation of each quadrant of a gland-packing ring, make sure a
compression ring is installed in each hole. (See Figure L-7)
All SST turbine designs require removal of the turbine cover to remove, inspect,
and replace labyrinth seals. Refer to the appropriate section below to service these
labyrinth seals.

Turbine Bearing Removal and Replacement
SST turbines can be supplied with two, split sleeve journal bearings and one ball
thrust bearing. Shaft journal and bearing dimensions are shown on the turbine data
sheets. When running clearance is excessive, the bearings should be replaced not
re-babbitted. Approximately 0.004”/0.101mm over the maximum clearance is
considered excessive. However, if conditions permit and the unit runs smoothly,
bearings may be kept in service when clearances exceed the recommended
maximum clearance. It is left up to the discretion of the operating engineer as to
when bearing replacement is necessary. The bearings are longitudinally split to
permit removal and installation without removing the shaft.

L.6.2
Thrust Bearing Removal and Replacement
The standard thrust bearing is a ball bearing located in the non-drive end bearing
housing. Tilting pad thrust bearings are supplied optionally on some turbines.
Refer to the appropriate vendor manual for details.
For turbines where the governor is coupled to the shaft, remove steam end bearing
case cap and then uncouple and remove the governor. For gear driven Woodward
governors disconnect the governor linkage without disturbing the length of the
connecting rod, then remove the bolts that fasten the governor to the housing and
lift off the governor.
The thrust bearing is properly positioned on the turbine shaft by shims at the
factory and should require no adjustment. These shims are used to adjust the
nozzle ring-to-wheel clearance. See figure L-8. Shims are also used to set the
running clearance (float) on a shoe or collar type thrust bearing. Recommended
running clearance for the thrust bearing is 0.010” to 0.020”.
Thrust Bearing Removal
a. Remove the turbine rotor according to the procedure specified in Section L.9.
b. Remove lock nut and lock-washer from the turbine shaft.
c. On turbines with ball bearing journal bearings, remove the oil ring and oil
ring sleeve.

CAUTION
When removing or replacing ball bearings mounted on a shaft,
NEVER PRESS OR APPLY FORCE to the OUTER RACE, as
this may damage the races or balls. NEVER HAMMER on
either the inner or outer races. Bearings should be pressed on
or off shafts with a steady force. Always inspect the shaft for
burrs or foreign material and remove them as necessary, prior
to removal or installation of bearings. If a BEARING BINDS
during installation or removal, DETERMINE THE CAUSE and
CORRECT it rather than apply more force. Installation should
be performed by heating bearings prior to assembly. Heat
bearings slowly and evenly to a temperature not exceeding
250F (120C). Special electrical heaters are available from
industrial suppliers for bearing heating. Alternatively, bearings
may be heated in an oil bath.
f.
On turbines with sleeve journal bearings, take care not to lose the flat spring
located in the bottom of the bearing housing groove. This spring prevents
rotation of the outer race of the thrust bearing.
Thrust Bearing Replacement
a. Install thrust bearing on the shaft with the shield (if so equipped) facing out.
Make sure that the bearing is installed with the manufacturer’s marking, such as a
bearing number or “thrust here”, facing upstream (towards the steam end of the
shaft). Before installing the bearing case cap, check thrust bearing adjustments for
the proper thickness of shims: 0.050”, 1.27mm minimum with assembled shaft
moved fully towards steam end. Set the clearance by properly positioning the
thrust bearing. See Figure L-8 below:

b.
On turbines with ball bearing journal bearings, replace the oil ring sleeve and
the oil ring.
c.
Replace lock-washer and lock nut.
d.
Bend the lock tab(s) to lock the nut into position.
e.
Replace the turbine rotor into the turbine casing according to the procedure
specified in Section L.9.
f.
To replace a ball-type thrust bearing, see steam end bearing case assembly and
longitudinal section drawings in Appendix A and proceed as follows:
g.
Remove governor.
h.
Remove steam end bearing case cap.
i.
Remove bearing case end cover.
j.
Disassemble parts from steam end of turbine shaft as necessary to gain access
to the thrust bearing; then remove the bearing. Tag both sets of upper and
lower shims to facilitate reassembly.
k.
Reassemble by reversing the removal procedure. Make sure that the bearing is
installed with the manufacturer’s marking, such as bearing number or “thrust
here”, facing upstream (towards the steam end of the shaft). Before installing
the bearing case cap, check the thrust bearing adjustments for the proper
thickness of shims.
L.6.3
Ball-Type Journal Bearing Removal and Replacement
Bearing removal and replacement on SST 500 and SST 700 turbines with ball
bearing journal bearings is accomplished using the same procedure as that specified
for the thrust bearing in section L.6.2, Thrust Bearing Removal and Replacement.
The only exception is that there is no lock washer or nut retaining the bearing on
the drive end of the shaft. Removal of the exhaust end bearing requires the
removal of the coupling and outboard bearing housing seal. Refer to Section L.5,
Casing Labyrinth Seal Removal and Replacement.
L.7
Bearing Housing Shaft Seal Removal and Replacement
Bearing housings are provided with either labyrinth-type oil seals or optional inpro
seals or magnetic seals. These seals prevent oil leakage from bearing housings and
also prevent penetration of steam, dust, and dirt into the housings.

Bearing Housing Removal and Replacement
SST bearing housings are attached to the lower turbine casing with bolts. Two
dowel pins on each housing, maintain their position. Alignment of bearing
housings to the casing and to each other is essential for vibration-free operation and
long bearing life. Bearing housings are accurately aligned at the factory prior to
pinning. Should it be necessary to remove or replace a bearing housing, it is
essential that the alignment be checked and corrected, if necessary, prior to re-
installation of the rotor.
Bearing housing alignment is a precision process that requires skill, experience,
and precise measurement. If there is any question regarding the ability of site
personnel to properly align bearing housings, Dresser-Rand recommends that a
factory-trained serviceman be engaged to perform the service. Contact your
Dresser-Rand manufacturer’s representative or the Dresser-Rand factory to
schedule a service visit.

Revision A SST
Turbine
Instruction
SST Turbine Instruction Manual
Low Voltage Electrical Components
After the rotor and guide ring have been removed from the lower half turbine
casing—
a. Loosen and remove nozzle ring cap screws. This may, at times present
a problem. Broken screws will have to be extracted or drilled out.
Note: When nozzle ring is secured with inner and outer bolts, no caulking
strip is used.
b. The nozzle ring may now be lifted out of the casing. Mark the ring to
identify its location if reused (upper or lower half).
L.10.2 Nozzle Ring Replacement
Nozzle rings are caulked in at the outer periphery and bolted to the steam ring
nozzle bolting face of the main casing when a single row of bolting is used. When
a double row of bolting is used, there is not a caulking strip.
a. Identify the upper and lower half nozzle ring. If necessary check that the
valve port bridge walls match their seal surfaces using bluing or white lead.
b. Check that the clearance holes in the nozzle ring and tapped holes in the
steam ring face agree.
c. Thoroughly clean the sealing surface at the steam ring face. If the
surface is smooth, the most common sealing compounds are Turbo R or
Turbo 50. If the surface is rough, use Copaltite. If these compounds are
not available, use a key paste or a mixture of graphite and oil. If none of
these compounds is available, call Dresser-Rand Technical Support.
d. Bolt the nozzle ring half in place. The cap screws should be pulled tight
but not over-tightened. If Allen wrenches bend during tightening, the
screws are overstressed and their heads may snap off when the unit comes
up to temperature. Over-tightening of screws must be avoided. Prick-
punch head clearance holes at four positions so that cap screw heads (if
broken off) cannot come out into the steam path.
L.11
Hand-valve Removal and Replacement
Hand-valves are optional items. Depending on steam conditions, required power
and speed, and initial customer requirements, the turbine may incorporate no hand-
valves, one hand-valve, or two hand-valves.
SST Turbine Instruction Manual
Revision A
219
Low Voltage Electrical Components
SST Turbine Instruction Manual
The purpose of hand-valves is to isolate a nozzle or group of nozzles from inlet
steam, thereby allowing the turbine to operate at reduced power output without
excessive throttling. When operated at reduced power in this fashion, the turbine is
more efficient than it would be if all nozzles were active.
Hand-valves should be either fully open or fully closed, never in between.
Operating with a partially closed hand-valve is not only inefficient, but could result
in steam cutting of the seat resulting in excessive leakage. When putting the unit
into operation, do not close a hand-valve tightly until the turbine is up to operating
temperature and all parts are evenly heated. The reason for this is that the material
of the valve stem is subject to greater thermal expansion than the turbine casing,
and if the valve is closed tightly when cold, it may lock the valve in the closed
position making it difficult to open.
Refer to Figure L-10, Hand-valve Assembly.
L.11.1
Hand-valve Removal
WARNING
Close and tag inlet and exhaust isolating valves and open
drains to depressurize the turbine casing and steam chest
before maintaining hand-valves.
Note: Removal of the hand-valve is done from inside the turbine case.
a. Remove the turbine casing cover and bearing case covers, uncouple the turbine
rotor, and remove the carbon rings. See instructions in other sections of this
manual for these steps.
b. Remove the turbine rotor. Remove the nozzle ring.
c. Once the nozzle ring is removed you can see the hand-valve seat (761). Pull out
the hand-valve seat. The fit is on-line to 0.004” loose.
d. Remove the hand wheel (758). Remove the hand-valve bonnet (750).
e. Push the stem and disc assembly out towards the inside of the turbine. Remove
the old hand-valve packing (754). Note: Count the rings removed.
f. Clean the seat area, nozzle ring face, and all areas that might have sealant.
L.11.2
Hand-valve Replacement
a. Inspect the stem and disc assembly. Hand-valve collar (752) should be tight
and staked to the disc (751).
b. Insert the new stem and disc assembly into the turbine hand-valve location.

a. Clean all surface areas (turbine casing split-line, bearing case split-lines, etc).
b. Assemble the carbon rings, turbine cover, and bearing case covers per
instructions given in other sections of this manual.
L11.4
Hand­valve Adjustment
a. One steam is admitted into the unit, re-tighten the hand-valve bonnet so there
is no steam leaking out of the steam area. This might have to be done again
when there is full pressure inside the casing to prevent leakage at the high
internal pressure.
b. The valve stem should be screwed fully closed or fully open. It should never
be partially open or closed.

In the event that the governor exhibits operational problems, Dresser-Rand
recommends that the governor be removed as a unit and returned to the factory for
repair or overhaul, as required. In the meantime, a replacement oil relay governor
can be quickly and easily installed to keep the turbine in operation. The Dresser-
Rand factory maintains a stock of certain TG replacement governors for rapid field
delivery, and is equipped to perform comprehensive repair, overhaul, and testing of
oil relay governors.
For shipment, care should be exercised to support the governor by its mounting
flange and not by its shaft extension.
Some governors are direct-drive types coupled to the end of the turbine shaft by
couplings, as shown in Figure L-11. Others, due to speed requirements, are
connected by right-angle gear reduction units, as shown in Figure L-12.
L.12.2
Governor Removal (Direct Drive)
a. Drain oil from governor (300) at drain.
b. Disconnect connecting rod
(1075) at governor lever
(445) by removing
connecting rod end (1070). Do not disturb position of rod end (1070) bearing
on rod (to preserve open/close stroke adjustment).
c. Rotate turbine shaft (1), if necessary, to disengage coupling hub (303) by
loosening coupling setscrew.
d. Prop or support governor (300); then, unbolt governor from mounting housing
(201) and slide governor out of mounting housing. Be careful not to lose the
governor key.

process are removal of the governor and coupling according to the procedure
specified in Section L.12, followed by removal of the overspeed trip collar (90)
from shaft (1), as described below.
It is important that the entire emergency trip system be properly adjusted and free
of binding or lost motion. The operation of the overspeed trip should be tested as
often as possible, especially at times that maintenance is performed and a
permanent record should be kept of these tests. The over-speed trip should
function to shut down the turbine within 2% of the speed specified on the turbine
data sheets. If the operational tests in Section I.6 indicate a requirement for
adjustment, proceed as follows:

WARNING
The overspeed trip assembly should be locked in place before
starting the turbine. Four checks to make are as follows:
1. The overspeed governor cup must be tightly screwed into
the shaft.
2. If supplied, one of the tabs of the lock-washer is bent into
the miller slot of the overspeed cup.
(The overspeed cup will
have two milled slots for the tabs of the lock-washer, but it will
only be possible to line up one of the tabs. This is due to the
fact that the tabs are not symmetrically located around the
outer diameter. There is no need for concern as long as one of
the tabs can be completely bent over into the slot.)
3. If the overspeed cup has drilled and tapped holes for half
dog point set screws, the shaft must be drilled at final assembly
with the overspeed cup in accordance with the table below to
ensure the tip of the dog point locks into the shaft. The set
screws must be tightened and staked into place.
4. The run-out of the cup must also be checked and adjusted
to within 0.002 inch (.05 mm) total indicated run-out.

NOTE: The 6” trip and throttle valve cover is equipped with a throttle screw that
regulates the amount of steam from the inlet side of the valve to the chamber
above the main disc. If chattering of the main disc is encountered when
opening the valve, it is necessary to increase the leakage to the chamber by
turning the throttle screw counter-clockwise. If, however, the hand-wheel
effort appears excessive, it can be reduced by turning the throttle screw
clockwise, thus decreasing the leakage to the chamber. A pipe tap is provided
in the cover to be used for a pressure gauge to check the pressure chamber
after the pilot valve has been opened. This leakage pressure should be
approximately 25% of the line operating pressure.

Low Ambient Temperature Applications of Single
Stage ASTM A216-WCB Carbon Steel Pressure
Casing Steam Turbines
Dresser-Rand has been asked to provide a quotation for steam turbines that may be
installed into an area with an ambient temperature of -30°C (-20°C) or less.
The quoted D-R single stage turbine is offered with ASTM A216 Grade WCB
carbon steel pressure casing material that will meet the Charpy V-Notch Energy
requirements of ASME Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII, Division 1, UG-84 as
required by API 611 for ambient temperatures -30°C (-20°F) or higher. The
pressure vessel bolting is ASTM A193 Grade B7, and nuts are ASTM A194 Grade
2H or ASTM A563 Grade A, which also meet the requirements of the Pressure
Vessel Code and API 611for ambient temperatures of -30°C (-20°F) or higher. If
the offered turbine is installed into an area with ambient temperatures of lower than
-30°C (-20°F), the equipment user must take precautions to insure that the turbine
casing be kept warm and/or be warmed prior to equipment start-up to meet the
requirements of ASME Section VIII, Division 1, UG84, as appropriate.
When a steam turbine is in operation, the casing temperature s above the
brittle/ductile transition temperature of the casing material. Therefore, a low
ambient temperature is not a concern. However, to insure that the low ambient
temperature does not result in damage or failure of the turbine and its accessories, it
must be installed, started, operated, and shut down as described in the Low
Ambient Steam Turbine Application Guidelines outlined below. If compliance
with these guidelines and acceptance of the offered standard materials is not
possible, consult Dresser-Rand for further discussion or an alternate material
offering.
Prior to the purchase of the turbine, the final equipment user, driven equipment

Low Ambient Steam Turbine Application Guidelines
Note these requirements apply to both API and non-API applications.
General:
When a steam turbine is to be installed where the ambient temperature could be -
30°C (-20°F) or lower, the following issues require special attention to insure that
the low temperature does not result in damage or failure of the turbine and/or its
accessories.
See the turbine instruction manual for additional turbine installation and
operational details and the accessory instruction manuals for their cold start/low
ambient precautions and recommendations.
Transportation:
The turbine is suitable for transporting to site, unloading, and placing in storage, or
transporting to site, unloading, and placing on its foundations, or moving from on-
site unheated storage to its foundations, only when ambient temperature is at or
above -30°C (-20°F).
Installation:
The turbine and its auxiliaries can remain out of service with no external source of
heat when the ambient temperature is at or above -45°C (-49°F), provided the
turbine is not disturbed when its metal temperature is below
-30°C (-20°F),
Turbine maintenance cannot occur unless the temperature of the turbine and all its
mechanical components is at or above -30°C(-20°F).
Turbine installation cannot proceed until the turbine and all its mechanical
components are t or above -30°C (-20°F). Alternatively, if the turbine components
are below -30°C (-20°F), the area musts be hooded and heated to raise the
component temperature above -30°C (-20°F).
Care must be taken to insure that the steam inlet and exhaust piping is properly
supported or equipped with flexible connections so they will not put excessive
force on the turbine when it is shut down. The turbine casing and inlet and exhaust
flange material are more prone to cracking when the ambient temperature is cold ad
their temperature is below the brittle/ductile transition temperature. This is of
increased concern if the piping is hot when the turbine is shut down and the inlet
and exhaust shut off valves are closed.
SST Turbine Instruction Manual
Revision A
247
Low Voltage Electrical Components
SST Turbine Instruction Manual
All turbine condensate drain connections and steam piping low points must be
properly drained to insure all condensate can be removed from the turbine and
steam system during shot-down. Similarly, cooling water lines to bearing housings
and water coolers, bearing housing water jackets, and oil coolers must be equipped
with drains to insure that water can be removed during shut-down.
Failure to remove all water from the turbine casing, piping, cooler,, bearing
housing, etc. when temperatures are below freezing could result in failure of the
piping and various other components.
If oil reservoirs, oil or water piping, bearing housings, and other components are
heat-traced, all local safety regulations and electrical codes must be adhered to.
Lubrication:
Dresser-Rand offers a variety of lubrication systems including oil ring lubrication,
oil ring lubrication with circulating oil cooling, circulating oil lubrication, mist oil
lubrication, and force feed lubrication.
When the ambient temperature is 15°C (60°F) or lower, it must be ensured that the
lubricating oil will circulate and that cooling water, if required, does not freeze
during operation or shut-down. Heat tracing or insulation of oil lines, bearing
housing, oil tanks, and water cooling lines may be required. Lubricant type and
required oil viscosities for turbine equipment packages are defined in the certified
drawings and data package and the applicable operation and maintenance manuals.
Viscosities for turbine lubrication are application specific, and the required
viscosity may range from ISO 32 (32cSt@40°C (100°F) 150 SUS @40°C (100°F)
up to ISO 100 (100 sSt @ 40°C (100°F) 550 SUS@40°C (100°F),
Use of the correct lubricants at the correct temperatures and viscosities is critical to
the trouble free operation of the turbine and its accessory equipment.
Accessories:
Some turbine accessories may require installation, heat tracing, special lubrication,
or adjustments for use in low ambient conditions. Others may require installation
into heated locations or preheating before use. The accessory instruction manuals
or accessory vendor must be consulted for additional guidance and precautions.
A partial list of typical turbine accessories might include governors, gauges, oil
pumps, control panels, instruments, reduction gears, lube oil systems, couplings,
steam piping, valves, solenoid valves, tachometers, ejectors, condensers, etc.
Turbine Start-Up:
248
Revision A SST
Turbine
Instruction
SST Turbine Instruction Manual
Low Voltage Electrical Components
Warming the Turbine Pressure Casing:
If metal temperature is at or below -30°C (-20°F), a warm-up of the complete
turbine must be performed prior to start-up, including the use of hooding and space
heating to elevate the metal temperature of all steam-contacted components to a
temperature of at least -30°C (-20°F) prior to the introduction of steam to the
turbine.
If metal temperature is above -30°C (-20°F), steam from the client’s exhaust steam
header piping may be used to preheat the cold back pressure turbine prior to start-
up. If exhaust steam is not available for this purpose, a small steam bypass line,
equipped with a valve, may be installed around the inlet block valve or start-stop
valve to allow preheating of the turbine casing with a small flow of inlet steam.
Allow the turbine casing to reach 15°C (60°F) or exhaust steam temperature before
proceeding further.
During warming, all turbine casing and associated steam piping drain valves must
be opened to allow liquid to drain from the turbine casing and its associated steam
piping. Take special care to insure all liquids are drained prior to closing the
valves for turbine start-up.
Prepare the Lubrication System for Start-Up
If the ambient temperature is less than 15°C (60°F), lubricating oil and, if supplied,
the lubrication system and oil piping must be warmed to 15,C (60°F) to insure that
the oil will flow to the bearings and back to the oil reservoir or oil tank.
For ring-oiled turbines, the oil temperature should be such that the oil rings will
turn and pick up the oil. This may require that a hot liquid be circulated through
the bearing housing “cooling” water jackets.
“Cooling water,” if less than 15°C
(60°F), which may be required during normal turbine operation, should not be
applied to the bearing housing water jackets until the bearing housing temperature
exceeds 15°C (60°F), which may be required during normal turbine operation. For
turbines equipped with pressure lubricating or circulating oil systems, the lubricant
must be warmed to a viscosity such that the oil pump will prime and deliver
lubricant to the turbine bearings. His may be accomplished by use of a steam
heating coil or electric heating element. If electric heating elements are used, the
watt density should not exceed 23W/in² (3.5W/cm²), and a sheath temperature of
100°C (212°F) to avoid carbonizing the oil. After the lubricant is warmed, it must
be circulated throughout the entire lubrication system by means of a hand, motor,
or steam driven pump to warm all the associated lubrication system components
prior to turbine start-up.
SST Turbine Instruction Manual
Revision A
249
Low Voltage Electrical Components
SST Turbine Instruction Manual
After heating the lubricating oil or determining that it does not require heating, start
the turbine per the instruction manual. Turn the turbine over slowly for a short
time, insuring that the oil rings are turning and/or the lubrication system is
delivering lubricant to the turbine bearings.
Operation:
Operate in accordance with normal operating routine, except that to maintain
suitable lubricating oil temperature and viscosity, it may be necessary to heat the
oil instead of cool the oil, especially if there are long un-insulated or unheated oil
lines between the turbine and a remote lubrication system.
With some turbine speed governors, a change in the governor oil viscosity may
have an effect on the speed of the turbine. Therefore, when operating a turbine in
low ambient temperature, it may be necessary to make manual adjustments on the
speed governor.
Shut Down
After the unit is shut down in accordance with the instruction manual, special care
must be taken to insure that all water is drained from the steam lines, turbine
casing, bearing housing water jackets, valves, oil coolers, etc. Freezing water in
the turbine or its associated systems can cause major damage or problems during
the next turbine start-up. Any lubricant or accessory heating system should be
turned off to avoid overheating unless advised otherwise by the manufacturer’s
instruction manual.
If there is steam from other processes in the exhaust piping, leave the exhaust valve
open. If the turbine is to be shut down or a short period of time or is on standby,
thereby avoiding the need to preheat the pressure casing on restart. Case drain
valves should be left open.
When properly drained of water, the turbine and its auxiliaries can remain out of
service with no external source of heat when the ambient temperature is at or above
-45°C (-49°F) as long as the turbine is not disturbed when its metal temperature is
below -30°C (-20°F). Turbine maintenance cannot occur unless the turbine and all
is mechanical components are at or above -30°C (-20°F).

N.2 “Quick” Start,”Fast” Start, “Automatic” Start
Dresser-Rand Single Stage Steam Turbines
In the case of a “quick” start when the turbine is not thoroughly warmed nor
gradually brought up to the minimum governor speed, the principal areas of
concern are: (1) water slugging (2) bearing lubrication, (3) rotor acceleration rate,
and especially (4) sudden temperature differentials across the turbine.
1 Water Slugging
Since the velocity of a water particle passing through a turbine is low relative to the
steam and rotating blade velocity, such particles can cause extensive damage as
they impinge on the rotating blading. Furthermore, the downstream force
generated by such particles impinging on the rotor blading can be high enough to
cause thrust bearing failure. The warming of a steam turbine allows for
vaporization and removal of condensate in the steam inlet line ahead of the turbine
and in low points of the casing.
2 Lubrication
Without immediate and constant oil feed, the heat generated by the shaft in the
turbine bearings, unless properly dissipated, can cause bearing failure. Oil ring
lubricated bearings provide immediate lubrication as the shaft begins to turn, so
long as the proper oil level is maintained in the bearing housings. With pressure
lubricated bearings, the lubrication system must be arranged such that oil fills the
supply lines and feeds the bearings when the shaft begins to turn.
3 Acceleration Rate
With steam turbine applications that are started with no load, the acceleration rate
of a low inertia rotating element can be so high that the control system response to
close the steam admission valve does not react prior to overspeed trip. This
particularly true of the turbine generator sets which may also require limited
frequency variations in the electrical system. In instances such as this, a ramp
effect on governor valve closure may be built in the control system.
4 Temperature Differential
On turbines with built-up rotors, the disc-to-shaft allowance tends to decrease to
unacceptable limits with a 200°F (93°C) temperature differential between the disc
and shaft. The probability of such a condition existing is greater at approximately
five minutes after start-up, rather than immediately at start-up. Loss of shrink fit
can result in axial; or wobble movement of the disc on the shaft, possibly resulting
in turbine breakdown. The colder the unit at start-up, the greater the probability of
the temperature differential occurring. Since the utilization of forged discs in lieu
SST Turbine Instruction Manual
Revision A
251
Low Voltage Electrical Components
SST Turbine Instruction Manual
of plate discs allows a higher shrink fit, we normally recommend the customer
consider using forged discs.
5 General:
The subject of “quick,” “fast,” or “automatic” start is not something new in the
steam turbine industry. Nor has Dresser-Rand decreased its engineering standards
for design of steam turbine shafts, bearings, or shrink fit of discs to shafts.
In general, reliability and durability are compromised by quick starting of a turbine
and will result in shortened overall turbine life. Frequent quick starts are
particularly severe on bearings and rotating elements. The more rapid the
acceleration rate, the higher are the transient loadings and the more severe are the
loading effects.
Dresser-Rand single stage turbines with standard construction are suitable for start-
up in five seconds provided the following conditions are met:
1. The inlet side of the turbine steam line must be trapped.
2. Proper lubrication of bearings must be provided.
3. The inlet temperature of the steam shall not exceed
750°F (399°C).
4. The differential temperature between inlet steam and
exhaust steam shall not exceed 350°F (177°C).
5. Back pressure shall be maintained on the casing during
shut-down.
(This in itself is not a recommended
operating condition due to possible shaft wire cutting or
carbon ring seal decay, but will keep the casing warm).
6. The operating speed of the turbine shall not exceed 6000
RPM.
7. The unit must be brought up under load.
In operating a turbine under the above conditions, the user must bear the
responsibility for bearing failure, loss of disc-to-shaft fit, and carbon ring decay.

N.3 Dresser-Rand Standard Policy on Equipment Sound
Levels
It is Dresser-Rand’s intention to design and manufacture turbines with satisfactory
sound levels and work cooperatively with the user to make the overall installation
as quiet as possible. However, there are many environmental factors affecting
sound measurements which are beyond Dresser-Rand’s control. These might
include piping, room size, and other equipment or structures near the unit which
may tend to focus, reflect, or amplify sounds, as well as emit other sounds. In view
of this, Dresser-Rand is unable to guarantee noise levels other than to commit to a
willingness to assist the end user in corrective action (at end user’s cost) in cases
where a noise problem may be perceived to be present.
Expected sound levels for various types of Dresser-Rand-built equipment operating
at full load in a typical field installation are given below. Sound levels for the
turbine or gear alone isolated in a non-reflecting environment may be significantly
lower.

LOW VOLTAGE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
O.1 LIST OF POSSIBLE INSTALLED ELECTRICAL
PARTS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS ON 350/500/700
SST TURBINES
There are numerous combinations of electrical devices installed in some
turbines. Below is a listing of the possible electrical components found on SST
turbines in various configurations.
Electronic Governor. Some of the electronic governors used on the SST
turbines are manufactured by Tri-Sen, Compressor Controls Corporation, and
Woodward. Magnetic speed sensors, in most cases a quantity of two, are
installed either external to the exhaust end bearing case or internally or
externally on the steam end bearing case. The sensors read a gear internally
mounted on the rotor shaft and are wired typically by the customer to the
electronic governor input location. The electronic governor serves the same
purpose as a mechanical governor
(covered elsewhere in this manual) for
controlling turbine speed. The electronic governors provide an analog signal
output which can be utilized for remote customer DCS monitoring purposes.
Electronic governors also provide a means for relay control which can be
programmed to alarm and or trip other customer processes, as well as an option
for remote control via a switch panel either provided by the customer or
installed by Dresser-Rand. The electronic governors maintain turbine speed
through the use of an actuator. The actuator adjusts the governor valve in
response to the typical 4-20 mA signal received from the electronic governor.
A governor program is part of the documentation provided the customer
when an electronic governor is applied. Within the governor program are
the parameters, which are entered via keypad into the governor, when it is
programmed for operation.
Magnetic Speed Sensors. The electronic governors, tachometers, and
electronic over-speed protection require the use of speed probes to provide a
voltage-pulsed input for accurate turbine control. Each sensor is factory set to
the recommended adjustment gap between the probe tip and target.
254
Revision A SST
Turbine
Instruction
SST Turbine Instruction Manual
Low Voltage Electrical Components
Limit Switch. The trip and throttle valve may have a limit switch mounted on
the valve to indicate closed position of the valve. The contacts can be
configured as normally open or normally closed per customer requirement.
Solenoid operated emergency trip valve. The over-speed tripping of the
turbine can be accomplished by a mechanical method covered elsewhere in
this manual. Electronic options are available to trip the turbine in an over-
speed condition through a solenoid valve which dumps the air or control oil
from the trip valve operational configuration. D-R recommends that the
solenoid valve be wired through an interposing relay to safely sustain the
current required for the solenoid valve operation.
A customer controls interface is required if it is desired to have a customer trip
signal incorporated into the emergency tripping of the turbine. This set of controls
needs to be accomplished via a trip string of series interconnected contacts, any of
which would de-energize the trip solenoid valve, thereby tripping the unit.
Vibration Monitoring. The turbine shaft radial movements at both the steam
end, exhaust end, and axial thrust bearing displacement can be accomplished
by vibration probe and proximitor hardware. In addition to the radial and
axial probes is the inclusion of a keyphasor probe for the Bently Nevada
asset monitoring equipment, which is D-R’s standard vibration monitoring
recommended vendor. The vibration probes are sized and installed in the
bearing cases for optimum length to clear accessories mounted on or near the
bearing case. Proximitors are typically shipped installed into a junction box
or loose. In some cases provisions only are provided the customer and
installation holes in the bearing cases are plugged.
Bearing Temperature Monitoring. D-R offers RTD or thermocouple
electronic bearing temperature monitoring capabilities. The bearings can be
equipped with the customer-specified instruments embedded within the
bearings by D-R. The temperature instrument wires exit through the bearing
case through Minco trade name seals where terminal heads are then
installed, providing wire termination points. Single and dual element
temperature instrumentation is available.
When provisions for future
temperature monitoring are requested by the customer, bearing cases have
installation holes machined and plugged so that bayonet style RTDs or
thermocouples could be installed at a later time.
Seismic Bearing Case Monitoring.
Accelerometers are available for
installation on the bearing cases, an alternative to the more sophisticated
probe and proximitor type of shaft monitoring. They monitor the rotational
vibration levels being transmitted to the bearing case.
Electronic Speed Monitoring (tachometer). Electronic tachometers are available for
local and remote speed monitoring. Some tachometers have programmable relays for
optional alarm and trip interface with customer DCS or PLC equipment. Self-powered
SST Turbine Instruction Manual
Revision A
255
Low Voltage Electrical Components
SST Turbine Instruction Manual
tachometers are an available option. In most cases only one magnetic speed sensor is
required for use with the tachometer.
Electronic Overspeed Protection.
Over-speed tripping of the turbine can be
accomplished by a mechanical method covered elsewhere in this manual. Electronic
options are available to trip the turbine in an overspeed condition through a solenoid
valve which dumps the air or control oil from the trip valve operational configuration.
D-R recommends that the solenoid valve be wired through an interposing relay to safely
sustain the current required for the solenoid valve operation. There are three magnetic
pickup speed probes supplying signals to the over-speed protection device.
Over-speed trip devices are composed of three separate modules which are in communication
with each other. If one magnetic pickup fails, the unit will continue to operate with the two
remaining speed input signals but will trip when one of the signals exceeds the over-speed trip
setting on one of the modules. Normal operation compares the three speed signals and takes
the two highest out of the three signals to trip the turbine, hence the name two out of three.
During the programming of the over-speed device it is of utmost importance that the exact
number of targets being read by the speed probes be correctly entered.
Electronic/pneumatic throttle valve actuator and controls. Any SST turbine with an
electronic governor requires an actuator to be attached to the inlet governor valve to receive the
signals from the governor for valve movement and positioning and, if desired, provide valve
position feedback for monitoring. The most common actuator used, the electro-pneumatic
actuator, has a current to pressure interface where the electronic governor, via analog signal, is
electrically connected to the actuator and accurately controls its force/movement on the throttle
valve.
Electronic pressure transmitters. There are some instances where a remote pressure
measurement is required, which can be provided with an electronic pressure transmitter. There
are several types of communication methods available by which the transmitter can interface
with the customer PLC or DCS.
Electronic temperature transmitters. There are some instances where a remote temperature
measurement is required, which can be provided with an electronic temperature transmitter.
There are several types of communication methods available by which the transmitter can
interface with the customer PLC or DCS.

Only professionally certified electricans are to be working on
the SST electrical components.
The upper half of the turbine exhaust and steam end bearing cases must be removed
to gain access to the shaft bearings and turbine rotor for RTD and thermocouple
access. See section L.3 for turbine case disassembly.
The procedure for removing and replacing the radial and journal bearings, which contain the
temperature monitoring hardware, is presented in section L.6.
Magnetic pickups are mounted on either the steam end or exhaust end bearing cases and can be
removed and replaced per field instruction procedures without the removal of the bearing cases.
Terminal heads can be removed from the pickup via the union and wiring removed from the
terminal blocks. In some instances the magnetic speed probes are installed inside the bearing
cases, in which case the bearing case must be disassembled to facilitate probe removal.
Limit switches indicating T&T valve position can be accessed from the outside of the valve and
removed by removal of the flexible conduit attached to the switch and removal of wiring from
the terminal blocks.
Vibration probes are mounted into the external cover of the bearing cases and can be removed
and replaced without turbine disassembly. Adjustment of the probes is accomplished with a
voltmeter set on DC voltage and turned until the voltage reads 9 volts DC whereby the locking
nut is secured in place.
The electro-pneumatic actuator is readily removable from the throttle valve body and removal
of flexible conduit and wiring disconnection from the terminal blocks.
The governor and over-speed protection equipment are shipped loose to be installed in the
customer control room, in most cases. For those cases where they are not shipped loose, both
devices are installed in a skid-edge enclosure with operators mounted on the external enclosure
door allowing for local governor operation when installed in a hazardous location. Wiring can
be removed from the terminal blocks allowing the components to be replaced.
In some cases, where there are RTDs and vibration probes as well as limit switch indicators of
the T&T valve position, there could be enclosures containing terminal blocks. These enclosures

could be installed on the turbine base on a junction box stand with conduit running from each
electrical device, mounted on the steam turbine, to the enclosure.
Accelerometers are installed externally on the bearing case caps and are readily accessible for
removal and probe cable disassembly and re-assembly.
Tachometers are shipped loose in most cases. They can be easily removed and replaced by
removal of the flex conduit at the union and disconnection of wiring from the terminal blocks.
Pressure and temperature transmitters are typically locally mounted by D-R and wired by the
customer. In cases where there is a skid-mounted enclosure, disconnection and reconnection
from terminal blocks and flex conduit with a union can remove the transmitter wiring.

to shelf state in the event of disconnection from the power supply. It is the
customer responsibility to provide backup power supply capabilities if it is
imperative that the turbine stay operational at all times. The Woodward Peak
150, the most common governor used on SST machines, has a ride-through
characteristic of 28 milliseconds for the 24 VDC power source range of 18-32
VDC. Ride-through is 50 milliseconds for a 120 VDC power source range of
90-150 VDC and 4 cycles ride-trhough for 100 VAC power source range of 88-

Low Voltage Electrical Components
O.6.1
Insulation test plan and certification
High potential (hipot) voltage testing with use of an insulation testing device
known as a MegOHM (meggar) resistance tester determines the condition of
insulation of the turbine wiring. Wires can be checked for good isolation between
the parts of a circuit, which helps to guarantee the safety and quality of electrical
circuits. Hipot tests are helpful in finding nicked or crushed insulation, stray wire
strands or braided shielding, conductive or corrosive contaminants around the
conductors, terminal spacing problems, and tolerance errors in IDC cables. All of
these conditions might cause a device to fail.
The Insulation Resistance test is typically done on every cable tested. It is usually
done at 300 to 500 Vdc with 100 to 500 Megahoms resistance. The test is a very
sensitive to contamination in the assembly process. Solder flux, oils, mold release
agents, and skin oil all can cause problems. This test excels at identifying insulation
that will conduct in the presence of moisture.
O.6.2

The maximum and minimum temperature rating range of the typically used Alpha
wire is from -80 to 200C. This wiring is used for the actuator, magnetic speed
probes and RTD temperature monitoring and very infrequently is located within
conduit runs which are near the bearing cases and actuator. The steam chest is
typically jacketed with a thermal insulation barrier for protection of surrounding
equipment and personnel. In most cases the customer is providing the wiring to the

to the protective bonding circuit. But where the level of electrical disturbances on
the protective bonding circuit is not sufficiently low for proper functioning of
electrical equipment, it may be necessary to connect the functional bonding circuit
to a separate functional earthing conductor.
Protective bonding circuit. The protective bonding circuit consists of PE
terminal(s). All parts of the protective bonding circuit shall be so designed that
they are capable of withstanding the highest thermal and mechanical stresses that
can be caused by the earth-fault currents that could flow in that part of the
protective bonding circuit. Where the conductance of structural parts of the
electrical equipment or of the machine is less than that of the smallest protective
conductor connected to the exposed conductive parts, a supplementary bonding
conductor shall be provided. This supplementary bonding conductor shall have a
cross-sectional area not less than half that of the corresponding protective
conductor.

If an IT distribution system is used, the machine structure shall be part of the
protective bonding cirduit and insulation monitoring shall be provided.
Protective conductors. Copper conductors are preferred. Where a conductor
material other than copper is used, its electrical resistance per unit length shall not
exceed that of allowable copper conductor and such conductors shall be not less
than 16 square mm in cross-sectional area.
The cross-sectional area of protective conductors. This requirement is met in most
cases where the relationship between the cross-sectional area of the phase
conductors associated with that part of the equipment and the cross-sectional area
of the associated protective conductor is in accordance with Table 1.
Continuity of the protective bonding circuit. All exposed conductive parts shall be
connected to the protective bonding circuit.
Exclusion of switching devices from the protective bonding circuit. The protective
bonding circuit shall not incorporate a switching device or an over-current
protective device (for example, switch or fuse). No means of interruption of the
protective grounding conductor shall be provided. Exception: Links for test or
measurement purposes that cannot be opened without the use of a tool and that are
located in an enclosed electrical operating area. Where the continuity of the
protective bonding circuit can be interrupted by means of removable current
collectors or plug/socket combinations, the protective bonding circuit shall be
interrupted by a first-make last-break contact.
Protective conductor connecting points. The protective conductor connecting
points shall have no other function and are not intended, for example, to attach or
connect appliances or parts. Each protective conductor connecting point shall be
marked or labeled as such using the symbol IEC 60417-5019 (DB:2002-10), or
with letters PE, the graphical symbol being preferred, or by use of the bi-color
combination GREEN-AND-YELLOW, or any combination of these.
Functional bonding. Protection against mal-operation as a result of insulation
failures can be achieved by connecting to a common conductor.
Measures to limit effects of high leakage current. The effects of high leakage
current can be restricted to the equipment having high leakage current by
connection of that equipment to a dedicated supply transformer having separate
windings. The protective bonding circuit shall be connected to exposed conductive
parts of the equipment and, in addition, to the secondary winding of the
transformer.
