I work at a 800 MW coal fired plant. About a week ago, the condenser backpressure on the unt went up. We checked all familiar spots.
The waterbox is clean- no pluggage.
No air in leaks- vacuum pump flow is good.
Water level of inlet waterbox is full
But the only thing is the hotwell temp is...
Hello
I need to calculate the flow through the vacuum pump which pulls air out of the condenser to keep the vacuum for the unit. Can anybody help me with this?
Right now, we are using the flow meter and taking reading inch by inch across the diameter of the pipe and the average value times area...
RAzor 423 has mentioned up here that they have used the acoustics technology for detecting condenser leaks. Did you mean the tube leaks or the vacuum leaks on the valves flanges, and the fwhtr penetrations around the condenser. We have a huge condenser for which we do Helium leak test to check...
Firstly, Thanks everybody for the suggestions.
I started working with each of the equipments regarding the bearing vibration and the lube issues.
As i said, I am trying to set a new program with this technology in our plant. Can anybody suggest how to go ahead with it. I have a long list of...
I am assigned to evaluate a new program at our plant. Use of Acoustics for detecting vibration, over/under lubrication and arcing in transformers. We have a sound vibration analysis program for all rotating equipments already set in. Does the acoustics /ultrasound technology help any better than...
