COLD START UP (With Aux Steam available) A cold start up is by definition, one of which the maximum of HP casing and HP shaft is less than 1500C. This normally means that the unit is shut down from the maximum load l oad for more than five days. If machine is started from ambient temperature (HPC/HP shaft temp approx. 400C), heating up of casting is required. This is accomplished by soaking the machine at 360 rpm at warming up steam parameters (40kg/cm2, 3600 C), till the TSE margin are satisfactory. The rifle construction of the water wall combined with the boiler circulating water pumps permits very high rate of pressure rising of boiler. An upper limit of 200 0C/hr saturation temperature gradient can be allowed, i.e. approximately the boiler pressure can be brought to 20 kg/cm2 within an hour of cold start up. But actual temperature gradient is limited by the thick walled Y piece provided in the main steam and HRH lines. A main steam line heating is to be started as early as possible (at approx. 4 kg/cm 2) as maximum differential temperature allowed between inner (98%) and mid wall temperature (50%) is 400C. So boiler loading is accordingly regulated. It It may be preferably to start only two CC pumps in order to minimise flashing in down comers (and subsequent vibration) when the boiler water is in range of 850C to 1250C. The third pump should be started before drum pressure reaches 7 kg/cm2 to minimise the
temperature transients experienced by the pump casing (this is to avoid fast load out back on the boiler in the event of any CC pump tripping). To get the rolling parameters, normally two elevation oil guns are taken with approx. 70 to 80t/hr flow through HP-LP bypass. At that time M.S. parameters would be 40 kg/cm2 and 3600C, HRH parameters would be 12 kg/cm2 and 3600C. As soon as the turbine loading has started, HP/LP bypass closes and gets completely closed as the turbine reaches the boiler load. First mill is put into operation around 10% of generator load. Second mill is put into operation around 25% while third mill is at 40% of generator load. Fourth and fifth mills are put into operation at 60% and 80% of generator load respectively. Sixth mill is taken to reach full generator load. During loading the RH outlet steam temperature has to be kept as close as possible to SH outlet steam temperature Burner tilt, SH spray, RH spray controls has t o be adjusted accordingly. The turbine-loading rate is decided by a selection circuit which compares the external load gradient, TSE margin and time dependant gradient (set internally) and frequency influence.

WARM AND HOT START UPS (With Aux. Steam Available). A warm start up is, by definition, one which the maximum of HP casing/HP shaft temperature is between 150 0C and 3500C. This normally means that the unit is shut down from the maximum load for one to four days. Depending upon the absolute temperature of HP casing and HP shaft, steam parameters are derived. A hot start up is by definition one which the maximum of HP casing/shaft temperature is more than 3500C. In this case to get the rolling parameters two mills are taken into service keeping HP, LP by pass in operation.
(Again the flow rate is restricted by the ‘Y’ pieces
constraints i.e., ± 400C). In both the cases, curves are given to derive the rolling parameters. In case when machine is rolled through EAST, curve generators, calculate and give permissive for rolling.
