SECTION 2 - PRE-STARTUP AND SYSTEM OPERATING PROCEDURES
air supply is available at the filter regulators on
the turbine governor valve and steam condenser.
Check that 25 PSIG is available to the steam con
-
denser level control valve current to pneumatic
(I/P) transducer. The governor valve positioner
supply air gauge should read 5 psig above the ac
-
tuator requirement.
2.
Ensure that all condensate is thoroughly drained
from the steam supply and exhaust lines.
Operators must make every effort to blow
the inlet steam line and turbine free of
condensed steam, otherwise damage to
the turbine may occur.
3. Ensure that the main steam inlet block valve,
steam inlet slow roll bypass valve, bypass valve
(if supplied), turbine pneumatic trip valve, and
turbine governor valve are fully closed.
4. If the chiller is not supplied with at steam ring
drain solenoid, open turbine steam ring drain
valve (if not already open) to remove any conden-
sate. Leave the drain valve open until the turbine
has been warmed up by slow rolling it for the re-
quired time.
On newer chillers, the drain line will be
equipped with a check valve and solenoid
valve to perform the above operation at the
appropriate times during the startup and
shutdown sequence.
5.
Ensure that the water level in the hotwell is at ap-
proximately 50%. If the water level is less than
50%, open the valve next to the fill connection on
the hotwell and fill the hotwell to approximately
50%.
6.
Open the valve supplying sealing water to the at-
mospheric relief valve enough to obtain a trickle
flow out the overflow line. This will ensure that
atmospheric relief valve sealing water is present
to the proper level in the valve.
7. Ensure that sealing water is available for the vac-
uum pump(s).
8.
If the OptiView™ Control Center is used to initi-
ate the chilled and condenser liquid flow to the
chiller, ensure that any manual isolation valves in
the chilled and condenser liquid lines are open.
9.
Check the oil levels in the compressor and turbine
oil reservoirs.
10. Verify that all pressure and temperature displays
on the OptiView™ screens display values as ex-
pected for the present ambient temperatures and
condition of the chiller components (oil heater on,
oil pump running etc.).
The oil heater is automatically controlled
by the control panel at all times during
shutdown and operation of the chiller to
maintain the oil temperature in the oil
reservoir at a target value which is 50°F
above the condenser refrigerant satura-
tion temperature. It is turned on at 4°F
below the target value and off at 3°F above
the target value. To prevent overheating
the oil, the heater has an integral ther-
mostat that opens at 180°F.
