What does turbine tripping mean?
1 Answers
Tripping involves first starting the AC (high-voltage) electric oil pump, then engaging the emergency trip device (safety device) (locally at the machine head, pull the control device handle outward by hand to engage the emergency trip device's flywheel ring), establishing safety oil pressure, and fully opening the regulating steam valve. By opening the automatic main steam valve, fresh steam can enter the turbine, initiating its rotation. Below is relevant information about steam turbines: Introduction: A steam turbine, also known as a steam turbine engine, is a rotary steam power device where high-temperature, high-pressure steam passes through fixed nozzles to form accelerated airflow, which is then directed onto blades, causing the rotor equipped with blades to rotate while performing external work. Status: Steam turbines are the main equipment in modern thermal power plants and are also used in metallurgical industries, chemical industries, and marine power systems.
