A jacking oil pump is used in turbine applications to provide lubrication and cooling to the bearings during startup and shutdown. It operates by delivering oil at a low flow rate to create a hydrodynamic film between the rotating shaft and the bearings, preventing metal-to-metal contact and reducing wear. Once the turbine reaches operational speed, the main lubrication system takes over, allowing the jacking oil pump to shut down. This process is crucial for ensuring the longevity and reliability of the turbine components.
jacking oil is not required when stopping the steam turbine
turbine is considered there as a prime mover.this turbine will be driven bt STEAM OR HYDRAULIC OIL OR ELECTRICALLY so that when it is coupled with a pump it works creating a pressure or vaccum enough to pump the fluid.
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.
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
Jacking oill pumps are fairly new in the power industry. They are necessary today because of the large turbines with multiple low pressure shells. The longer the rotor the more likely to do damage to it as it rolls off of turning gear. The turbines containing only two low pressure wheels can be started with an auxiliary oil pump that supplies higher pressure than turning gear pumps. Most large turbines have been retrofitted with lift pumps because they prevent damage to the rotor and journals.
Scoop coupling is nothing but a fluid coupling works based on the hydro dynamic principle. Scooping is the collecting the oil from the working chamber(space between pump wheel and turbine wheel) which will effects the transmission.
change the oil pump sensor.
Run your engine for awhile, if it seizes up, the pump wasn't working.
The jacking point was the oil pan?
Oil is typically pumped out of the ground using a method called pump jacking, where a pump inserted into the well extracts the oil to the surface. In some cases, natural pressure within the reservoir is enough to push the oil to the surface without the need for pumping. Another method involves injecting water or gas into the reservoir to displace the oil towards the production well.
If,clamp is not proper fitted in control oil line that time it may happen cause in control oil line pressure also more than main oil pump disch.
It does not connect to the head. The torque converter connects directly to the crankshaft of the engine. IA torque converter is a modified form of fluid coupling that is used to transfer rotating power from an internal combustion engine or electric motor, to a rotating driven load. Like a basic fluid coupling, the torque converter normally takes the place of a mechanical clutch. In a torque converter there are at least three rotating elements: the pump, which is mechanically driven by the engine; the turbine, which drives the load; and the stator, which is interposed between the pump and turbine so that it can alter oil flow returning from the turbine to the pump.
