Commissioning of the hydraulic turbine
Thread Content
Is it necessary to vent and fill the pump before starting up a hydraulic turbine for warm-up? Or, slowly open the outlet; by opening the inlet’s warm-up line, the system can be warmed up without the need for intentional exhaust
Hydraulic turbine? ? I’ve only heard of a \"hydraulic coupling\" used for speed control, as well as turbines; I’m not sure what a hydraulic turbine looks like. Could you send me a video of it? Thank you!
A hydraulic turbine is used to recover the energy of high-pressure liquids; it is essentially a pump that operates in reverse, providing kinetic energy to a regular pump.
Fluid is supplied via the back route to operate the tank pump, after which the heating pump line at the inlet can be activated to heat the pump; no deliberate venting was performed.
OP, in which process section are you using the hydraulic turbines? From high score to low score? Which manufacturer makes the hydraulic turbine? Multi-stage or single-stage? The operation of our hydraulic turbines is similar to that of centrifugal pumps: fill the pump and warm it up, vent air from the top, and activate the flushing water for the mechanical seal. If it is the first time the pump is started after maintenance, a single-unit overspeed test must be conducted – slowly increase the outlet speed to around 10% of the rated speed and maintain this level for about half an hour, after which the speed can be increased further along with the applied load
