The turbine is a prime mover that converts the energy of high pressure, high-temperature fluid supplied by the boiler into shaft work with the low-temperature steam exhausted to a condenser.
The turbine trip is the shutdown of a power generation turbine due to unexpected events like turbine over-speeding, low vacuum in the condenser, etc.
- The power pant remains hot even after the turbine trip.
- The system needs to be gradually cooled.
- The extremely hot steam generated during the turbine trip needs to be condensed.
- Hence, the cooling water supply to the condenser should be stopped after 15-30 minutes for the overall cold system.
- The damaging effect of the hot steam on other components of the power plant is also reduced.
- Cooled also helps in safe and easy repair operations.
Condenser:- It is a device in a steam power plant in which steam condenses and heat released by steam is absorbed by water.
The condensation of steam in a close vessel produces a partial vacuum due to a great reduction in the volume of low-pressure steam.
