steam turbine cold start up list:
When Turbine shaft temp is below 100 deg.centigrade,Then rolling of turbine carried out it is called cold rolling.
When steam is introduced to a turbine during start up, drain valves are fully open. They drain to the condenser until the turbine reaches a certain load. Once that load is reached, the valves are closed and turbine runs normally.
The purpose of exhaust hood spray is to decrease the temperature of steam turbine last stage that is probably LP. This is operate on low load specially at start up and shut down of steam turbine when the temperature at the outer most edge of the turbine blades of that stage is very high and As we know that the steam flow also decrease The temperature of turbine blade.
A gas turbine engine will usually yield more power by weight than a piston engine. Main downside is that it can't be throttled very well. Energy efficiency isn't all that good to start with, and will drop right down if it has to be operated outside its optimum range.
It may be depends on the Constructor/ Design of Turbine .

You don't start a large turbine cold. Typically, the lubrication system is started, the turning gear is engaged and warming steam (a small amount of steam, not enough to turn the turbine) is admitted to the turbine to warm and initially expand the shaft and casing. If this isn't done, thermal shock from the admission of high pressure superheated steam into the cold turbine could damage it.
When steam is introduced to a turbine during start up, drain valves are fully open. They drain to the condenser until the turbine reaches a certain load. Once that load is reached, the valves are closed and turbine runs normally.
To avoid slugging nozzles and blades inside the turbine with condensate on start-up; this can break these components from impact. The blades were designed to handle steam, not water.
slow to start from cold and starts when warm
If it is a echo there is a switch. If it is on cold start switch it to run unless it is cold then you should switch it to cold start. There is also a silver switch that you have to flip up.
