trip mines work differently from regular grenades, after trip mine are set they have to getstepped on for it to work. after stepped on it breaks a weak but solid substance the keeps the chemicals from touching, when it is stepped on it combines the two chemicals and an explosion happens.

Can you tell how emergency stop valve of turbine operates?

Unless it is an electronic governor on the turbine, there is a mechanical overspeed trip device which closes the trip valve (or trip throttle valve [TTV] on small turbines). This device is a spring loaded weighted pin set into the turbine shaft. At a particular set speed (110% of maximum operating speed, typically) the pin overcomes the force of the spring, flying part way out of the shaft and striking the trip mechanism linkage. This linkage up to that point was holding the trip valve open, now with the release of the linkage the spring on the trip valve instantly closes the valve stopping all flow of steam to the turbine. On electronic governors, when the set point on the turbine speed is reached it opens a solenoid valve (which requires a manual reset) which dumps all hydraulic pressure from the trip valve, allowing it to close.


What is meant by turbine latching?

CommentsThe protection of a turbine requires a device which ensures the turbine does not automatically restart once a protective trip resets. EG if an overspeed trip occurs you do not want the turbine to resume operation as soon as it slows down below trip speed as it could cycle into overspeed again and continue repeating the cycle. The trip logic therefore includes a lockout which must be manually reset before the turbine valves can be opened again.All sorts of devices are used but most commonly a hydraulic valve which isolates oil from the stop valves. It is separate from the trip solonoid but may be part of the overspeed trip hydraulicsIt was common for the hydraulic valve to have a mechanism referred to as a latch because once it opened it stayed open until the oil pressure was lost again. In electrical terms it is a seal in relayResetting this device is called latching the turbine


Does low suction pressure have an effect on reciprocating compressors?

At very low suction pressure, the suction valves of reciprocating compressor will not work and there will be no gas in the cylinder during compression stroke, resulting some damage to the suction valves. If low suction pressure trip protection is not provided there can be some abnormal damage.
