Abstract

During the operation of a steam turbine in a power plant, the no.3 bearing of the LP rotor suddenly vibrated strongly, which caused the protection action and the turbine tripped. During the maintenance it was found that serious rubbing occurred between the impeller of the LP rotor and diaphragm gland in the LP cylinder. Through inspection and analysis, the location and cause of the rubbing were found, and corresponding treatment was carried out. During the start-up process after maintenance, the vibration of no.1 bearing of HP/IP rotor increased to trip value. In order to eliminate the rubbing of HP/IP rotor, the appropriate warm-up speed was selected and the speed control method was adopted to make the unit start to the working speed and put into normal operation.
