Feed station MOV and bypass MOV no auto operation. Only operate in sequence and
manual mode.
Sequence operation time – 360 sec.
Initially inlet CV will open for 6 sec. then close for 50 sec.
Afterwards 2 sec open and close for 50 sec.
Permissive for sequence operation – Upstream valve in open condition and pr. 0.1 ksc.

GLAND STEAM SYSTEM
Major equipment’s in the Main Turbine Gland Seal System are as follows:
• Auxiliary Steam Seal Feed valve(SPFV) 10MAW20AA120
• Gland steam feed valve (SSFV) (10MAW20AA120)
• Steam seal header line (SSH)
• Steam packing unloading valve(SPUV) 10MAW21AA120
• Steam Diverting Valve to Heater (SVDH) 10MAW21AA150
• Steam Diverting Valve to Condenser (SVDC) 10MAW21AA160,
• Gland Steam Condenser (10MAW10AC010)
• Steam packing exhaust line(SPE)
• Gland steam condenser (GSC) (10MAW10AC010)
• Gland steam exhauster (GSE) (10MAW11/12AN010)
GLAND STEAM SYSTEM
Before steam turbine start up , gland steam is supplied from aux steam line, and after
steam turbine start up and self sealing condition , gland steam is supplied from HP
heater#7 extraction line through the HP turbine exhaust drain valve (10LCM30AA151)
Setpoint value for SSFV – 0.28 ksc and for SPUV – 0.31 ksc
SSFV :
When HLO/BIO/Turbine load rejection occurs through the high limiter SP will be
set to 50% for 5 sec and SSFV forcibly opened.
SPUV:
When HLO/BIO/Turbine load rejection occurs through the low limiter SP will be
set to 0% for 5 sec and SPUV forcibly closed.

Pressure packings also have one intermediate leak off line which discharge steam to
steam packing leak off (SPL) to Deaerator extraction. (Auto open after Gen. load >15%)
If the excessive gland steam flows backward into the turbine through LP#1 extraction
line and if it is high temperature (149 deg. c), the turbine rotor is locally overheated ,
excessive thermal stress is caused and the rotor is subjected to permanent deformation.
To prevent this condition, 2 piston butterfly valves (SVDH) and (SVDC) are installed to
to allow change over between them.
Gland steam exhauster maintain vacuum of 130mmAqin SPE.
At higher load when pressure build up , the gland steam leaks to the SSH from the
turbine shaft gland of high pressure and intermediate pressure sectionsand from main
valve glands but at low pressure section the seal steam is fed from SSH.
In case of the outage of both gland condenser exhauster fans, the turbine must be tripped
immediately.
