SECTION 3 - SYSTEM COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION

FORM 160.67-O2

ISSUE DATE: 10/9/2020

The leak-off steam is commonly piped to a sewer or

open header. If this line becomes partially clogged, or

the back pressure builds up for any reason, steam will

blow out around the shaft at the packing gland.
Some machines may be equipped with an optional

gland condenser which condenses the gland leakage as

well as steam leaking from other leak-off connections.

The condensate from this gland condenser can be re-

turned to the feed water system.

Gland Leak-Off Condenser - Optional Supply

by Special Quotation

This equipment may be specified for use on high back-

pressure applications, those turbines operating with a

high pressure differential across the glands, and those

which must operate for long periods of time between

shutdowns (some low pressure turbines may also use

this equipment).
The condenser is piped to the outer leak-off connec-

tions of the glands. It creates a slight vacuum on the

outer leak-off areas, assuring that leakage will leave

through leak-off piping and not past inactive seals.
The most common configuration is the gland condens-

er and ejector. The gland condenser is a shell-and-tube

type heat exchanger in which cooling water is used to

condense steam leakage from the glands. The ejector

is a steam nozzle which creates a low pressure area to

remove any air which has leaked into the system and

thus maintains the vacuum in the leak-off areas.
This equipment is available for all types of leak-off

flows, large or small. The condensed leakage steam

and cooling water can be recovered and returned to the

boiler. Note that the condenser tubes and ejector both

require periodic cleaning.

Vacuum Breaker Solenoid Valve

The vacuum breaker solenoid valve is located on the

turbine exhaust connection and is identified as FCV-

173 on schematic drawings. This valve is closed during

turbine operation and is opened at shutdown whether

planned or emergency to allow air to enter the turbine

exhaust piping and steam condenser to help slow the

turbine more quickly by increasing the exhaust pres-

sure on the turbine. The entrance of air into the sys-

tem necessitates the operation of the vacuum pump to

evacuate the air before the next startup may occur.

Steam Nozzle Valves

Steam nozzle valves are furnished to provide added

efficiency as load conditions change on the turbine.

The nozzle valves regulate the amount of steam and

steam pressure entering the turbine. The turbine oper-

ates more efficiently at higher entering steam pressures

since the flow is reduced at higher steam pressures.

The turbine should not be run with the steam nozzle

valves wide open all the time. This does not allow the

turbine to have any backup power in case the load is

increased relatively rapidly. The steam nozzle valves

are manually adjustable on the standard system design

with Manual Start. The valves are controlled automati-

cally when the Auto Start design is furnished.

Sentinel Warning Valve

The sentinel warning valve is a small relief valve lo-

cated on the turbine exhaust. It is not a true relief valve

as it is too small but is used to provide a warning that

turbine exhaust pressure has become too high. The

valve is set to open at 5 psig on the standard YST Con

densing Turbine. On a special non-condensing turbine

it is set at 10-15 PSIG above the normal back pressure.

The opening of this valve will release steam giving an

indication of excessive pressure.

Do not under any circumstances pipe the

discharge of the Sentinel Warning Valve

away from the turbine.

If the valve leaks air into the system during normal op-

eration it should be opened manually a few times to

blow out any foreign material that may have collected

around the seat. If this fails, the valve should be re-

moved and repaired or replaced.

Steam Ring Drain

All YST chillers are provided with a tapped drain open-

ing in the turbine steam ring for getting rid of excess

moisture that accumulates in the steam ring when the

turbine casing is cold at startup. The drain line is fitted

with a check valve and solenoid valve. The line must

be piped to a sewer or any other low point that permits

the waste to drain off by gravity. The location of this

opening is shown in top
