STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR STATOR WATER COOLING SYSTEM

OBJECTIVE: This Procedure is intended to provide guidance and instructions for carrying out
the system of Stator water during plant start up.

SCOPE: This Procedure is applicable to Stator water pump located at Turbine area
INTRODUCTION: Stator water system is used for cooling generator stator windings. It
is a closed loop circuit. It consist of makeup tank, 2 pumps , 2 coolers, pressure control valve ,
Temp control valve, Demineralizer, Filters. Water for makeup is from CTP. When system is in
service m3/hr water is recalculate through demineralizer to keep conductivity in limit.. Do not
run the pump when there is no hydrogen in generator. Water pressure is to be maintained,
slightly less than hydrogen pressure.

1 Gradually adjust pressure reduce valve and keep downstream √
pressure of valve 0.5 MPa after opening makeup valve of stator √
cooling water system from demineralised water system.
2 Makeup water to tank and confirm interlock loop of level switch. When √
the low level switch is in ACTION, the makeup solenoid valve (SV)
should be filled automatically.
3 Open the venting valve of generator cooler, strainers, ion exchanger. √ √
4 Start a stator cooling water pump and make normal circulating √
operation. After water flow out from the vent valve, the vent valves can √
be closed.
5 When the stator cooling water pressure of inner generator more than √
gas pressure of generator during the initial circulating process, the √
leakage of inner generator for stator cooling water system must be
supervised and checked.

7 Put ion exchanger and conductivity meter in service. We can adjust √
make up valve to control the water flow through the ion exchanger. If
the outlet water conductivity of ion exchanger is lower than the defined √
value, the water flow must be decreased. The water flow disposed by
the ion exchanger is the 5~10% of the total inlet water in the winding
8 At the normal condition, one strainer should be operated and the other
one would be standby. When the pressure drop of the water through
strainer is higher than the normal pressure drop 0.021 MPa, cleaning
