UIMPROVING THE OPERATIONAL RELIABILITY OF THE LUBRICATING SYSTEMS OF MODERN HIGH-POWER TURBINE PLANTS

The lubricating system is an exceptionally crucial component of a turbine plant. On its continuous operation depends not only the reliability of the turbine, but also its integrity in the event of any emergency situations. Most problems concerned with improvement in the operational reliability of the lubrication systems of modern turbine plants of 300, 500, and 800 MW output have arisen owing to the failure of the main oil pump (driven off the turbine shaft) providing the lubricating system through injectors, and also owing to the transition from automatic pumps (driven by electric motors) having exceptionally low inertia constants. This situation has been responsible for a number of additional technical requirements being placed on lubricating systems, oil-pump electric drives, automatic aspects of pump start-up, and d.c. units, which are the subject of discussion in the present paper. The paper is based on theoretical and experimental data relating to the lubricating systems of K-300- 240 LMZ and KhTZ turbine plants. Attention is focused further on 500 and 800 MW turbine plants, whose oil systems are similar to those under study.
