 INTRODUCTION
 WHAT IS PUMP ?
 The hydraulic machines which convert the mechanical energy into hydraulic
energy are called pumps.

 Reliability, availability & efficiency of a power station depends on the behavior of

the pumps.

 There are various types of pumps used in power stations for different purposes
like to feed the drum of boiler, boost the boiler feed pump etc.

 Various types and sizes of pump are used in power station for handling cold
water, hot water, oil, chemicals etc.

Objectives of pumping system are-

To transfer fluids for processing
To provide motive force in hydraulic system
For services like cooling, lubrication etc.
 Pumping Systems

• Series pumping

• Parallel Pumping
 • Introduction
BOILER FEED PUMP
• There are three pump sets for each boiler. Two pump sets are supplying feed
water to each boiler, with one pump set being on stand-by.
• Each pump set consists of a booster pump, directly driven from one end of
shaft of an electric driving motor, and a boiler feed pump driven from the
opposite end of the motor shaft through a variable speed turbo-coupling
being enclosed in a split fabricated guard.

The “BOILER FEED PUMP” is a

 six stage
 horizontal
 centrifugal pump of barrel casing design.
 BFP Features

• High speed design resulting in to small size of pump.

• Barrel casing construction facilitating uniform warming of inside
stator.
• Flow control achieved by speed regulation with the hydraulic
coupling driven by Constant speed motor.
• The NPSH requirement of BFP is fulfilled by employing the low
speed booster pump directly driven by the motor.
• Axial thrust is balanced by the "hydraulic balancing method" with
balancing drum & disc Arrangement incorporated in the pump.
Balancing leak-off tapping is directly connected to the suction of the
pump.
• Minimum flow of 130 t/hr. is ensured during start-up by providing
recirculation line tapped before discharge valve and connected to
deaerator via ON-OFF type recirculation valve.
• High precision mechanical seals are installed to seal the glands at
suction and discharge side of the pump.

 Balancing of Axial Thrust

• Necessity of Thrust Balancing

• By using Balancing drum (piston )

• By using Balancing Disc

• Combination of Balancing Drum & Disc

 3.Combination of Balancing Drum & Disc

 Balancing disc and ring do not come in contact and thus

the wear and tear and consequential maintenance is
minimized.

 Helps to set a large axial clearance between the balance

disc and ring so that the arrangement is not affected by
any solids or foreign matter in water.

 LUBRICATION SYSTEM OF BFP

 The lube oil pump can be so designed that the lubricating oil requirements of
the driving and driven machines can also be supplied. For the start-up, all the
bearings are pre-lubricated by an attached Auxiliary Oil Pump, which is driven
by separate motor. The A.O.P. supplies oil to the feed pump and motor when
the pump is hot and stand-by.

 cavitation
• Pump cavitation occurs when pressure at pump suction drops below
the atmospheric pressure of the liquid.
• Cavitation is often characterized by:
• Loud noise
• Loss of capacity
• Pitting damage to the part
• RECIRCULATION CONTROL
VALVE(PNEUMATICALLY OPERATED):

1. R.C. valve of running pump shall open when the

suction flow drops to 120t/hr.

2. R.C. valve of running pump shall close when the
suction flow reaches to 225t/hr.

differential temperature of feed water across BFP
suction and discharge reaches +100C.
