at the time of turbine start up, the shaft journals are in contact with the white metal of the bearings due to the weight of the rotor. The low pressure of the lubricating oil supply when the set is stationary is insufficient to stop the metal to metal contact between journals and bearing shells. In order to prevent the metal to metal contact between journal and bearing shell during start up, which is damaging in the long term, an oil pocket machined into the bottom shell of the journal bearing is supplied with oil under high pressure. This lifts the shafting system slightly and it floats on a film oil. this is called jacking oil system of turbine

Steps of synchronizing steam turbine generator?
1. Turn Electronic Governor Switch on. 2. Open casing drain valves 3. Check bearing oil levels 4. Reset Over-speed Trip 5. Put bearing cooling water on 6. Crack exhaust (outlet steam header) and adjust drain valves accordingly 7. When warm crack inlet steam valve allowing turbine to run at 10rpm 8. Check bearing oil rings 9. Look for carbine seal run offs 10. When turbine is warm fully open inlet steam valve and allow governor to take control to 2200rpm 11. Use speed knob to raise speed to 3600rpm 12. Turn Field Excitation Switch on 13. Check incoming and grid voltages and match turbine generator excitation to grids voltage using the field excitation rheostat. 14. Use speed knob to reach 60hz 15. Turn on synchronization switch to the synchroscope 16. Adjust turbine speed to adjust the phase angle/frequency to a steady slow clockwise rotation on the synchroscope. 17. Close generator breaker at the 5min to 12'oclock position on the synchroscope. 18.Turn of the synchronization switch to the synchroscope. The turbine is now synchronized to the 60Hz power grid.
Who invented the steam engine oil drill?
edwin drake
Which of the following five types of products is least likely to be produced in a process manufacturing system?
Oil Painting
If oil is replaced by air in a hydraulic system would the hoist still operate?
Practically it won't, be the air will get compressed, and then the hoist will not work. Read Pascal's principle to check if my answer if correct.
Is jacking oil required when stopping steam turbines?
jacking oil is not required when stopping the steam turbine
Why you maintain gland steam temp in steam turbine power plant?
gland steam temp should be nearer to less than turbine lub. oil flash point.
How does an overhead oil tank provide lubrication in a steam turbine?
It provides oil circulation into turbine while Regular oil circulation fails. We can say it as stand by oil tank.
Lube oil has three uses what are they in a steam turbine?
1. For lubrication the bearings 2. For controlling the turbine 3. For sealing
How is oil power made into electrical energy?
Oil is burned and the heat is used to boil and superheat water to make steam under high temperature and pressure. The steam is sent through a turbine. The turbine is connected to a generator which makes electricity.
What are the step by step processes to turn oil in to electricity?
# Burn the oil, use the heat to boil water. # Use the steam from the boiling water to spin a steam turbine. # Use the steam turbine to turn an electric generator. This is the basic process a conventional power station uses to generate electricity.
How do oil fueled power plants produce energy?
They burn the oil to boil water and create high temperature, high pressure steam. This steam is directed through a steam turbine which rotates. This is connected to a generator, which transfers rotational movement into electrical energy. The electricity is then passed through wires to your house.
What is interlocks in steam turbine?
Interlock system is in turbine for protect the turbine. different types of interlocks in turbine 1. high vibration, 2. Bearing oil Temp,3. vacuum related, 4. over speed, 5. differential expansion, 6. casing expansion, 7. lube oil header Pressure. 8. Axil shift. etc... . this interlocks is keep the turbine in safe mode in any abnormalities.
Was bunker c used in steam engines?
As fuel oil in the boilers of steam-turbine powered ships, perhaps.
How does jacking oil pump work in turbine?
A jacking oil pump also called a lift pump is commonly used on rotor shafts of steam driven Turbine Generators prior to startup or after shutdown to provide even cooling of the shaft and eliminate rotor distortion caused by sags due to weight and bows due to uneven cooling. The jacking oil pump uses high pressure oil supplied at the bearing journals to initiate an oil film and lift the shaft off its bearings. The rotor can then be put on a turning gear and rotated slowly to create even cooling and or roll out any distortions caused by the weight of the shaft while at rest. It also helps to maintain the oil film between shaft and the bearing till the rotor speed is adequate enough to maintain the film thickness and protects the shaft & bearing.
What is difference between a geothermal and thermal power plant?
The steam turbine blades to turn creates steam.The steam engine, steam piston Myllng after the turn brings.+++They are both steam-engines. The turbine is purely rotative; the reciprocating steam-engine uses cylinders and pistons.
How is energy produce from crude oil?
Energy is produced from oil (or any other fossil fuel) by a simple process. First, they burn the oil to heat a tub of water. The water turns into steam, which travels through pipes to reach a turbine. The turbine is hooked up to a generator. When the steam reaches the turbine, it turns the blades, which sends an electric current to the generator. This generates electricity.
