Revision: 01
Actions Remarks
Confirm the Combine Tank oil level from local gauge
indicator MAV02CL501, if level found normal inform I&C,
else:
Check the lube and control oil piping for any leakage
Check the lube and control drain valves 10MAV02AA201,
10MAV02AA202, MAV02AA401 and MAV02AA402 are
closed
Check the transfer valve of Clean Oil Tank 10MAV02AA202
is closed
Check the Lube oil to Purifier Line drain valve MAV34AA401
is closed
Check Lube oil purification system pump, and ensure that it
is in service
In case if all checks are found OK, perform make up of
Combine lube oil tank
Confirm the Combine Tank oil level from local gauge
indicator MAV02CL501, if level found normal inform I&C,
else:
Check the Air Breather for any choking
Check the dampers setting of Vapor Extractor Fan
(10MAV02AN001, 10MAV02AN002) of Combine Oil Tank
Check Gland Seal Steam pressure for any steam ingress in
lube oil system
Check lube oil physical condition and perform lube oil
analysis to check Moisture content in it
Check the abnormal operation of Lube oil Transfer Pump
(10MAV31AP001) and BFPT Lube oil transfer pump
(10MAV20AP001)
Check the Lube oil cooler outlet temperature indicator
10MAV22CT501, If the value is OK, inform I&C for
corrective actions, else:
Check the controller set point and control valve
(10PGB51AA101), if found NOT OK, set it accordingly, else:
Check the close cooling water system temperature
Check Lube oil cooler oil inlet and outlet temperature
(****) to check for any degradation in cooler performance

Actions Remarks
Ambient temperature below generator start-up condition
e.g. after long standstill
Startup seal oil heaters 10MKW20AH001/002 to increase oil
temperature.
􀁸 Before generator rotor turn circulate oil in system by
means of seal oil pump or Pumps until seal oil temperature
reaches start-up limit. Oil temperature self-rise due to
circulation is more efficient if generator is pressurized.
Float valve does not open
10MKW14AA001, 10MKW15AA001 & 10MKW16AA001
Adjust level manually by using of valve:
10MKW14AA003, 10MKW15AA003 & 10MKW16AA003
Float valve does not close
10MKW14AA001, 10MKW15AA001 & 10MKW16AA001
Close valve:
10MKW14AA002, 10MKW15AA002 & 10MKW16AA002
and adjust level manually by using of valve:
10MKW14AA003 ,10MKW15AA003 & 10MKW16AA003
Very low vacuum pressure because of defective vacuum
pumps, for example,
Influences the oil flow between 10MKW14BB001 and
10MKW20BB001. In this
Consequence, the oil level in the air seal oil tank increases
and, simultaneously, the oil level in the vacuum tank
decreases. This situation stabilizes when the increasing oil
level above the air seal oil tank reaches the height of the
vacuum tank inlet. The oil flows from the air seal oil tank
into the vacuum seal oil tank through the connection pipe.
Repair or replace the vacuum pumps as soon as possible.
Float valve 10MKW14AA001 does not open
Close valve 10MKW14AA002 and adjust level manually by
using valve 10MKW14AA003
Float valve 10MKW15AA001 does not open
Close valve 10MKW15AA002 and adjust level manually by
using valve 10MKW15AA003
Float valve 10MKW16AA001 does not open
Close valve 10MKW16AA002 and adjust level manually by
using valve 10MKW16AA003

Shutdown the turboset, release the gas pressure and purge
the generator Major oil leakage to surroundings If it is not
possible to stop the leakage, all necessary actions must be
taken to stop the turboset and purge the generator.
