Over View:
The lubricating system for the gas turbine power plant are furnished by
a common forced feed lubrication system.This lubrication system ,
complete with tank, pumps, coolers, filters, valves and various control and
protection devices,furnishes normal lubrication and absorption of heat
rejection load of the gas turbine and generator.
Lubricating oil is circulated to the turbine bearings, generator
bearings,and the accessory gear box.The lubricating oil is also supplied to
the starting means torque converter for use as hydraulic fluid as well as for
lubrication.this same fluid is also used as control oil or trip oil, high
pressure hydraulic oil and generator seal oil.
Major components of the lube oil system include:
1) Lube oil reservoir in the accessory base
2) Main lube oil pump(shaft driven from the accessory gear)
3) Auxiliary lube oil pump
4) Emergency lube oil pump
5) Auxiliary and emergency seal oil pump
6) Lube oil heat exchangers7) Lube oil filters
8) Pressure relief valve VR-1 in the main pump discharge header.
9) Bearing header pressure regulator VPR2-1and mist eliminator.

Functional description:
Lubrication to the bearing header is supplied by three pumps:
1)The main lube oil pump is a positive displacement pump mounted on and
driven by the accessory gear.It is rated at 2725lpm(720gpm),
7.0ksc(100psig)
2) The auxiliary lube oil pump is a submerged centrifugal pump driven by
an ac motor rated at 2460lpm(650gpm), 7.5ksc(107psig)The auxiliary
pump has a higher pressure rating than the main pump to accommodate the
needs of the torque convertor during slow-roll and start up operation.Its
lower discharge volum,e is the reason that the auxiliary seal oil pump
needs to operate if the main lube oil pump is not available.
3)The emergency lube oil pump is a submerged centrifugal pump driven by
a Dc motor and is rated at 1590lpm(420gpm), 1.4ksc(20psig).
Start checks & Logics
1) Select Auto and switch on the AC breaker of AOP and AHOP
2) Switch on the DC breaker of EOP.
AOP:
When the turbine attains 95% rated speed during start up the auxiliary
pump stops. Similarly the auxiliary pump starts when unit speed drops
below 14HS( usually 90% rated speed) during shut down.

EOP :
The pump is the back up to the AOP.This pump will come into service
when AC power is not available and auxiliary pump fails during normal
shut down sequence ,the emergency pump will be started by the action
of low lube oil pressure switch 63QL-1 and continue to run until
manually shut off.
Logics:
The condition of dangerously low lubricating oil pressure is detected by
three trip switches 63QA-1, 63QT-2A & 63QT-2B.
Switches 63QT-2A and B are located at the aft end of the generator and
switch 63QL is located at the gauge cabinet in the accessory compartment
Pressure switches 63QT-2A and 2B in the lube oil feeding header to the
generator bearings sense a drop in lube oil header pressure below 0.55
bar(8psi) the unit will trip on low lube oil pressure and the emergency lube
oil pump will start.Pressure switch 63QL-1 acts as a back up to 63QT-
2A&2B, activating the EOP if header pressure drops below 0.41bar(6psi).
Pressure switch 63QA-1 should sense a drop in pump discharge header
pressure ,turn on the AOP and sound an alarm before 63QT-2A& 2B tripthe unit.Pressure switch 63QA-1 is set at
Like wise temperature switches 26QT-1A and 1B are installed in the

Lubricant to the bearings exceed 79.4 degc (175 degF) .Temperature
switch 26QA-1 also located in the bearing header will cause an alarm
before this limit is reached set at 73.9 degc (165degF).
Differential pressure switch 63QQ-1 will cause an alarm at diff pressureacross the oil filters of 1.03 bar(15psi).
The SPEEDTRONIC Mark V Control system requires that both trip
switches 63QT-2A and 2B indicate low pressure.In the event of a failure of
one of those switches the control system is programmed to trigger a turbine
trip on detected low pressure by either of the trip switches and low
pressure alarm switch 63QA-1.
Similarly ,before the unit is tripped on high lube oil header temperature ,both trip temperature switches 26QT-1A and 26QT-1B must indicate high
temperature.This voting logic ensures that a malfunctioning sensor will
neither prevent the turbine protective functions nor cause an unnecessary
trip.
Seal oil pump
The seal oil to the generator bearings is normally supplied by the main
lubricating system through a separate line directly to the seal oil controlunit of the generator.This line is plumbed into the system upstream of
pressure regulating valve VPR2-1 .The seal oil control unit will regulate
the seal oil pressure to maintain it a nominal 0.32ksc(4.5psig) above the
hydrogen gas pressure.

Logic;
\The seal oil pump is driven by two motors (one AC and one DC) mounted
in tanden.If Ac power is available ,the pump is driven by the Ac
motor,88QS-1. If Ac power is not available ,the pump is driven by the Dcmotor 88ES-1.If the auxiliary lube oil pump is on or if the unit is above
50% rated speed and pressure switch 63SA-1 senses low seal oil
differential pressure , the Ac motor will start. The Dc motor is activated by
either a low lube oil pressure signal from the bearing header (63QA-1 )or
by the under voltage relay(27MC-2) in the Motor Control Center.
Mist Eliminator:
The Mist eliminator consists of a vessel containing three coalescing
filters(candles) , a motor-driven fan and a bypass valve.oil is separated
from the air stream by the coalescing filters and returned to the main lube
oil tank .The fan overcomes the pressure differential caused by the flow
through the coalescing filters and maintains a slight negative pressure on
the lube oil reservoir.The bypass valve opens to bypass the mist eliminator
should the motor or fan fail; this prevents the tank from being pressurised
in the event of such a failure.The fan should be throttled to provide 0 to 2
inches of water pressure in the tank

Over view:
Like other internal combustion engines, a gas turbine cannot produce
torque at zero speed. The starting means system is used to start the gas
turbine rolling, crank it to firing speed, and assist the fired turbine to self
sustaining speed. This is accomplished by an induction motor driven
turning gear and an induction motor starting device operating through a
torque convertor coupled to the accessory gear.This arrangement provides
the cranking torque required by the turbine for start up.Also at shut down
,this same equipment continues to rotate the turbine at slow speed for cool
down purpose.

The starting means system components and control devices are located and
mounted in the accessory compartment.This starting system equipment is
mounted on a seperatebase structure attached to the accessory base top-deck.The turning gear and motor are mounted between the torque
convertor and the accessory gear box.The turning gear motor turns a large
reduction gear that provides the break-away torque for initial rotor
turning.The turning gear also provides the cool down rotation.The turning
gear assembly includes a synchro-self-shifting(SSS) clutch for impact- free
shaft coupling and uncoupling.
Start up functions:
In the normal starting sequence ,the turning gear is the first component
activated.Its electric motor/gear assembly drives through a reduction gear
to provide the break away torque required to turn the rotor.when the
SPEEDTRONIC Mk V control system senses the rotor is no longer at rest it
energises the cranking motor 88CR.This motor drives into a reduction that
the torque convertor input shaft.This gear also drives the charge pump
providing high pressure oil fill for the torque convertor..This oil also
supplies release pressure to the torque output shaft brake.The hydraulic
pressure of the system is sufficient to drive the output shaft and the rotor
assembly begins to turn faster than the speed provided by the turning gear
alone (6rpm).Then the clutch assembly by its design uncouples itself.

The turbine begins to increase in speed and continues to accelerate until
minimum speed level (14HM) is attained.
Rotor cool down:
Logic:
To promote even cooling of the rotor and avoid rotor bow after unit shut
down ,the gas turbine rotor is rotated by the slow roll function of the
turning gear. The turning gear energises to initiate slow roll when rotor
speed decreases to approximately 6 rpm as determined by the
SPEEDTRONIC control circuits.
When the rotor is at rest and Cool down on is selected at the primary
operator inter face ,the rotor breaks away in the same manner as during a
normal start. The turning gear is energised and its reduction gear drives
the rotor to 6 rpm
