Week 7


1) Explanation on the superheated steam generation by Mr. Fong Weng Toong as we walked around the Heat Recovery Steam Generator.

2) Pressurized the hydraulic oil used the operate hydraulic valves called actuators for the MAX and diverter dampers.

3) Entered inside the steam turbine condenser. Located inside the condenser is the condenser tubes and the condenser hot well. This where the exhaust steam turns into condensate.

4) Drained the seawater by isolating the 12PAC pump by closing the suction valve. This was done to allow repair works on leaking pipes to be carried out.

5) Drained out the lube oil from the MAX base tray which collects oil that leaks out of the system.

6) Learned the mechanism of cavitation in a pump. Cavitation is caused when the Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) required is more than the NPSH available. This can prove to be detrimental to pump as it can cause damage & severely decrese its performance.
