MAIN OIL PUMP(MOP)

LOCATION: This pump is mounted in the front bearing pedestal. It is coupled with turbine rotor through a gear coupling. Oil suction from MOT Through two number of injectors connected in series. Takes over when turbine speed > 2800 rpm. Supplies oil for turbine bearing lubrication as well as for the turbine governing system. .

AUXILIARY OIL PUMPS(AOPS)

Two in number, AC motor driven Vertical one stage rotory pump with radial impeller & spiral casing. Supplies oil during turbo-set starting and stopping when the turbine is running at speed lower than 2800 rpm supplies oil to governing system as well as to the lubrication system. It also serves as standby to main centrifugal oil pump. Submerged pump body

EMERGENCY OIL PUMP(EOP)

This is a centrifugal pump, driven by D.C. electric motor. Vertical Centrifugal submerged This automatically cuts in when ever there is failure of A.C. supply at power station and or the lub oil pressure falls below a certain value. This pump can meet the lubrication system requirement under the conditions mentioned above.

JACKING OIL PUMPS(JOPS)

JOP1 & JOP2 Both pumps are AC driven but in some of the plants one of the JOP is DC driven also. To lift the rotor assembly during TG start up and shut down. Suction from MOT. delivers a pressure of 120kg/cm2 for lifting of rotor.

OIL COOLERS
To cool the lubricating oil Consists of tube nest, inner & outer shell & water boxes The cooling medium for these coolers is circulating water. The pressure of the cooling water is kept lower than that of oil to avoid its mixing with oil in the event of tube rupture. OIL TEMP. CONTROLLER for maintaining the lub oil temp at rated value by controlling the flow through the coolers.

Main Oil Centrifuge

Required for removing moisture from the turbine oil. A portion of oil is continuously circulated through the centrifuge to remove the moisture from the oil.
