and temperatur change so the steam flow will be change also than
the pressure and temperatur table.
Steam flow change will given effect to generator out put.

B. Turbine follow
Generating of power is depend on turbine setting input by operator, boiler
shall be supplied the steam that turbine required for generating the
power.

D.Abnormal operation condition

One or several items of parameter have alarm, but don’t reach to the stopping and
the unit does not want to stop, the unit is running in abnormal condition. Try
to find the cause of abnormal parameter. Stop the unit if the abnormal
parameter going to reach of the limit and can’t slove.

Item Inspection
1. Axial displacement 1. Check axial bearing pad temperatur and
return oil temperatur to ensure is no wearing

f. Measure the vibration spectrum.
3. Don’t let the unit near the critical speed if
the vibration is violent during start up. Stop
rising load if the vibration is violent during
rising load, and operate the unit with the
former load. The unit can’t raise load until
the violent vibration has been eliminated.
Stop the unit to check if the vibration is
violent during eccelerating, operating the
unit with reducing speed is forbidden in this
condition.
