Engineer student gain their theoretical knowledge only through their books. Only
theoretical knowledge is not sufficient for absolute mastery in any field.theoritical given


                                                                                              2
in our books is not much use without knowing its practical implementation, it has been
experienced that theoretical knowledge is volatile in nature, however practical knowledge
make solid foundation of our mind.

       To accomplish this aspect, RTU, KOTA has included a SUMMER TRAINING
programme for the student of B.Tech. in summer vacation.

       I took training in “ANDRITZ HYDRO” at Faridabad from 18 June to 18 July
2011. Successding chapter give detail about what I have learned in this prestigious
organization.

HYDRO TURBINES



                 8
•   What are hydro turbines?

    ANS: A hydro turbine uses the potential and kinetic energy of water and converts it
into usable mechanical energy. The fluid energy is available in the natural or artificial
high level water reservoirs, which are created by constructing dam at appropriate places
in the flow path of rivers. When water from the reservoir is taken to the turbine, transfer
of energy takes place in the blade passages of the unit .the mechanical energy made
available at the turbine shaft is used to run an electric generator, which is directly couple
to the turbine shaft. The power generated by utilizing the potential and kinetic energy of
water has the advantages of high efficiency, operational flexibility, low wear and tear,
and ease of maintenance.

   •   Classification of turbine

       Turbines are of two types:


           A. Impulse Turbine: Wherein the available hydraulic energy is first
              converted into kinetic energy by means of an efficient nozzle. The high
              velocity jet issuing from the nozzle then strikes a series of suitably shaped
              buckets fixed around the rim of a wheel .The buckets change direction of
              jet without changing its pressure .The resulting change in momentum sets
              bucket and wheel into rotary motion and energy. An impulse turbine
              operator under atmospheric pressure, there is no change of static pressure
              across turbine runner and the unit is often referred to as free jet turbine.
              Important impulse turbines are: pelton wheel, turgo-impulse wheel, girad
              turbine, bunki turbine and jonval turbine etc.


           B. Reaction Turbine: Wherein the part of the total available hydraulic
              energy is transformed into kinetic energy before the water is taken to the
              turbine runner. A substantial part remains in the form pressure energy.
              Subsequently both the velocity and pressure change simultaneously as
              water bleeds along the turbine runner. The flow from inlet to outlet of the
              turbine is under pressure and, therefore, blades of reaction turbine are
              closed passages sealed from atmospheric conditions. Important reaction
              turbines are: Fourneyron, Thompson, Francis, Kaplan and propellor
              turbines.


Hydraulic turbines further classified into various kinds according to:

I. Direction of water flow through runner:
                                      Turbine




                                                                                            9
1.
     Tangential flow               Axial or parallel flow           Mixed: radial and axial
     (Pelton wheel)                  (Kapaln turbine)             (Modern Francis turbine)

     Flow path in different types of runner has been illustrated in following figure.



                STATOR



              ROTOR


                               BLADE


                                                (b)RADIAL FLOW                      (c)MIXED FLOW
               (a)AXIAL FLOW




             Pelton wheel is the tangential flow turbine; here the centerline of jet is
              tangential to the path of rotation of the runner.
             Propellor and Kaplan turbines are axial flow turbines; here water enters
              and leaves the runner along a direction parallel to the axis of the shaft.
             Mixed flow turbines where water enters the runner at the outer periphery
              in the radial direction and leaves it at the center in the direction parallel
              to the axis of rotation of the runner. Modern Francis turbine is a mixed
              flow machine.

II. Available head and discharge

             High head turbines, which operate under high head (above 250 m) and
              require relatively small rates or flow. Pelton wheel is a high head turbine.
             Medium head turbines, which operates under medium heads (60 m to 250
              m) and require medium flow rates. Modern Francis turbine belongs to this
              category.
             Low head turbines, which operate under heads, up to 30m and require
              very large volumetric rates of flow. Units of axial flow turbine (Propellor
              and Kaplan) are examples of low head turbines.

III. On the basis of speed

             For Pelton wheel: Ns = 9-17 for a slow runner
                                   =17-25 for a normal runner
                                   =25-30 for fast runner
                                   =40 for a double jet

             Francis turbine: Ns = 50-100 for a slow runner
                                  =100-500 for a normal runner


                                                                                          10
=150-200 for a fast runner

             Kaplan turbine: Ns =250-850

IV. Disposition of shaft
  Impulse turbines have usually a horizontal shaft and vertical runner arrangement.
 Reaction turbine may be either of vertical or horizontal shaft type.

          Working Of Pelton turbine
                 Penstock is a large size conduit, which conveys water from the high level
 reservoir to the turbine. Depending upon head it is made up of mild steel, concrete, or
 wood .It is provided with control valves like butterfly valve, also screens and trashrack
 are provided at the inlet of the penstock prevent entries of debris. At its downstream end,
 penstock fitted with an efficient nozzle that converts the whole of hydraulic energy into a
 high-speed jet. To regulate water flow a spear is provide which moves backward or
 forward thereby controlling flow area either by governing mechanism or by hand wheel.
                   The turbine rotor, called the runner is acicular disk carrying a number
 of cup shaped buckets, which are arranged equidistantly around the periphery of the disk.
 In case of mini hydro turbine the buckets are the integral part of the runner while in case
 of the large hydro turbine or large runner size the buckets are bolt mounted to the
 runner’s disc. The runner is generally mounted on a horizontal shaft support in a small
 thrust bearing and is casted integrally; they are made up of stainless steel. The inner
 surface of he buckets is polished to reduce frictional resistance to the water jet. Each


                                                                                         11
bucket has a ridge or splitter, which distributes the striking jet equally into two halves of
the hemispherical bucket. Again there is a cut (notch) in the outer rim of each bucket this
make the jet face the bucket only when they are at 90° to each other. The angular
deflection of jet in the bucket is limited to about 165-170 degree. The arrangement has
advantage that bearings supporting the wheel shaft are not subjected to any axial or end
thrust.
           A casing is provided around the runner to prevent splashing of water and to
guide the water to the tail race. It has no hydraulic function to perform apart it act as a
safeguard against accidents.
        Speed of turbine runner is maintained so that generator coupled directly to the
turbine shaft runs at constant speed under varying load conditions. Governing
mechanism by regulating water supply does this above function.
         With increase in load, the runner speed falls and consequently balls of the
centrifugal governor move inwards. Through suitable linkages, the resulting downward
movement of the governor sleeve is transmitted to a relay, which admits oil under
pressure to servomotor .The oil exerts a force on the piston of the servomotor, and that
pushes the spear to a position, which increases the annular area of the nozzle. Quantum
of water striking the buckets is then increased and the normal turbine speed is restored.
Conversely happen when we have to reduce the load.

Penstock is a large size conduit, which conveys water from the high
level reservoir to the turbine. Depending upon head it is made up of mild steel, concrete,
or wood .It is provided with control valves like butterfly valve, also screens and trashrack
are provided at the inlet of the penstock prevent entries of debris. At its downstream end,
penstock fitted with an efficient nozzle that converts the whole of hydraulic energy into a
high-speed jet. To regulate water flow a spear is provide which moves backward or
forward thereby controlling flow area either by governing mechanism or by hand wheel.
        Penstock is connected to and feeds water directly into the spiral casing. Casing
constitutes a closed passage whose cross section area gradually decreases along the flow
direction area are maximum at inlet and very less at exit. The casing is made up of mild
steel or concrete. Stay vanes are usually provided to direct the water from the casing to
guide vanes.
      Guide vanes or wicket gates are series of airfoil shaped vanes, which are arranged
inside casing to form a number of flow passages between the casing and the runner
blades. They guide the water onto the runner as per design. They swing around their own
axes that change the flow area between two consecutive runner blades. The motion is
given by means of governor.
      The system consists of a centrifugal governing mechanism, linkages servomotor
with its oil pressure governor and the guide wheel. The water flow and its direction
remain same at all the passages between any two consecutive guide vanes.
            Runner of the Francis turbine is a rotor and has passages formed between
crown and shroud in one direction and two consecutives blades on the other. There is
about 16 to 24 number of blades in runner. These passages take water in at the outer
periphery it in a direction parallel to the axis of rotor. The driving force is both due to the
impulse and reaction force. The runner blades are usually is made up of stainless steel.
The runner is keyed to the shaft, which may be of vertical or horizontal disposition.
              After passing through the runner, the water is discharged to the tail race
through a gradually expanding tube called the draft tube .the free end of the tube is
submerged deep into the tail race.

           Working Of Kaplan turbine
                        Except the runner, all other parts such as spiral casing, stay ring
and stay vanes, guide mechanism and the draft tube are similar to those of Francis
turbine. Between the guide vanes and the runner water turns through right angle and
subsequently flows parallel to the shaft. The runner is in the form of boss, on the
periphery of the boss are mounted equidistantly 3 to 6 vanes made of stainless steel.
Hence it has less friction resistance as runner blades are directly attached to the runner
hub and also there are fewer blades as compared to Francis turbines.
         The Kaplan has a double regulation, which comprises the movement of guide
vanes and runner vanes. The runner employs two servomotors; one control the guide
vanes and the second operates on the runner vanes .the governing is done by the
governor from inside of the hollow shaft of turbine runner and the movement of piston is
employed to the twist blades through suitable linkages.

         Digital Control Panel

In vertical turret lathe while working tool remain fixed and job rotates. Various
operations carried on VTL are facing, turning, boring, grooving etc. Feed is automatic.
Scrap produced are spring like ribbon chips. RPM should always be low while working
on profile. For good finishing the RPM should be high and feed should be low. But final
cut is always small to maintain the desired accuracy and surface finish.
    Job is set on table. Dial indicator is used to see whether it is uniformly attached to the
machine always checks its position.

      Errors in VTL
          1. Misinterpretation of drawing and getting machined wrong dimensions.
          2. Measuring instrument errors.
          3. Sometimes machining of hot job causes shrinkage when the job cools.
          4. When doing vertical boring more than 100 mm sometimes taper occur at
              the bottom.

      Remedy
          1. When shrinkage occurs extra material is welded to it and later on
             machining is again done.
          2. Also job is examined by the design and planning department whether the
             present dimension will work or not.

      Precaution
          1. Read the drawing carefully.
          2. Check the accuracy of tool and calculate the error if there is any.
          3. Use proper coolant like cutting oil.
          4. For avoiding taper at the bottom during vertical boring, slide should be
             straight.

       •   Welding Equipments


               TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas)

           Machine Make: Frronius and Triodyn.




                                                                                    22
It is a semiautomatic welding process. Here arc is struck
           between electrode and job. Electrode is non-consumable. There is ceramic
           coating over tungsten electrode tip. Ceramic coating is used because it has a
           very high melting point of 3500° C. Inert environment is provided by argon
           gas. Hands supply filler metal manually.
                                       TIG has better penetration as comparison to other
           welding operations. It has no backfire. It is specially used for giving a coating
           of stainless steel over a job when it is over machined or over grinded. Also
           some times for balancing purpose metal are added through TIG. The filler
           metal comes in various range of thickness from 1.2 mm, 1.6 mm, 2 mm and 2.4
           mm (Make is ESAB, kobelco and bohler). Copper cable is used to connect
           Electrode holder and D.C. Flow meter are generally attached to the argon
           cylinder.

                MIG (Metal Inert Gas)

            Machine Make: Frronius and Triodyn.

                        It is also semi automatic welding process. Here arc is also struck
       between electrode and job. But here electrode is filler metal wire. Electrode is
       consumable. Here filler metal wire speed is 5 mm per revolution. Argon and
       carbon-di-oxide gases provide the inner environment. Color code for argon and
       carbon-di-oxide cylinder is green. The Mild steel wire diameter ranges are 1.2
       mm, 2 mm, and 4 mm (Make is ESAB). Sometimes S.S coating is provided over
       M.S for water resistant coating.
                   In MIG welding, spatter is prevented by applying spatter gel is
       applied on the torch so that spatter doesn’t stick to the torch. Spatter core is the
       area where spatter can reach.
       Welding fixture for M.S comes along with wire but for a S.S a separate fixture is
       used.

                SAW (Submerged Arc Welding)

           Machine Make: Frronius and Triodyn.

                        It is an automatic welding process. Electrode is consumable. Here
arc is struck between the electrode i.e. filler metal wire and the job. Filler metal wire act
as an electrode. Here shielding is done by flux. Flux is kept inside a cylinder at a
pressure of 6kg/cm^2. Flux come and covers the welded zone. Grain size of flux varies
from 0.2 mm to 1.6 mm. Its basicity index is 1.4. Before filling cylinder with flux, flux has
to be heated at a temperature of 300°C for 2 hours .The make of flux is either ESAB or
Ador. It is generally used for heavy thickness.

                SMAW (Shield Metal Arc Welding)

     Machine Make: Frronius and Triodyn.



                                                                                           23
It is used for welding pipe section like spiral. Butt joint can be weld up to thickness 15 –
20 mm. Here arc is struck between electrode and the job. Electrode can be of various
types depending upon job material and the thickness of the job. Always the positive
terminal of the dc source is connected to the electrode i.e. 1/3 to the electrode and 2/3 to
the job. The distance between the job and the electrode depends upon thickness of the
electrode at most it could be 3 mm. Electrodes are generally heated in the electronic
furnace at a temperature about 100°c to 120°c before use so that it has no moisture and it
gives you a continuous weld. Hoses are made us of rubber. Reverse polarity is applied in
SMAW.
                According to American Standards, E 6013 means ‘E’ stands for Electrode.
60 stand for “tensile strength”. 1 stands for “Welding Position”. 3 stand for “flux
coating or covering”.

NOTE: In other to prevent the bending while doing welding spiders are generally
attached to the large hollow job. These spiders are removed by gas cutting equipments.


            Defects in Welding:

       1. External

              I.   Blow Holes
             II.   Slag Trap
            III.   Impurity
            IV.    Surface Crack
             V.    Under Cuts
            VI.    Spatter

       2. Internal

              I. Blow Holes
Pin Holes
             II. Porosity
            III. Insufficient Fusion
            IV. Internal Cracks

       Types of Test

       1. Dye Penetration Test:
                    In this test firstly the surface to be tested is cleaned by thinner & then
       red penetrant is applied on it & then again it is cleaned. After this developer is
       applied on it. After drying all surface impurities like crack are visible to eye &
       this can be removed by the use of gauging. It is used for examining external
       cracks. The developer stays there for about a minute so examiner had to note the
       entire surface defects very quickly.



        2. Magnetic Penetration Test:
                          In this test magnetic powder is spread on the welded part & then
through magnetic jaws the magnetic field is applied & where the crack exist this powder
starts to jump-up or starts to attract towards the crack that depends on the development
of south-north pole i.e. on the polarity. It is used for examining the internal cracks.

       3. Ultrasonic Test
                   In these test ultrasonic sound waves comes. The device used in UT test
       is known as transducer or search unit .It contains piezoelectric material which
       transmits desired frequency of sound .For normal casting defects zero degree
       angles is used & for bevel weld joint angled transducer is used like 60 degree, 45
       degree. The defects are shown on the cathode ray oscilloscope. Before testing


                                                                                           26
coupling should be applied. More the smoothness of the job more clearly the
       transducer detects the defect & more clear the graph is plotted.

        4. Radiography Test
                  In these test x-rays are made to fall on the job piece and deflections are
noted in the form of graph and by studying them we can find out internal defects. It is a
very dangerous test as these rays are very harmful to human beings. So when these test
are carried nobody should be around a radius of 50 meter. These are a very accurate test
as compared to other test. For X-ray test cobalt-92 and Ra-162 are used.

                  After these if cracks are found there then these cracks are removed by
gauging rod then grinding is done and after that it is again checked for cracks. For best
results in gauging following steps need to be followed:
                1) Air pressure should be between 5 kg/ sq. cm and 8 kg/ sq. cm
                2) The angle of rod should 45° to the work piece.
                3) Air jet should be switched on before striking of an arc.
                4) Always use reverse polarity.
            Sometimes dousing is also done. It is done generally during heavy thickness
        and internal crack. Carbon electrode and rectifier sets with heavy current do
        dousing.
            After welding jobs are generally given a heat treatment in furnace. There are
        two furnaces:
                   a) Electric Furnace: 2800 mm * 2000 mm * 2000 mm, 440 volts.
                   b) Diesel Furnace: 9400 mm * 4400 mm * 2000 mm, With 6 burners.
IN S.R furnace first there is mild steel then there is a coating of brick, then glass wool or
asbestos wool and lastly mild steel grill. In Stress relieving furnace gloves made of
asbestos are used.
        • Gas Cutting Equipments

                Computerized Numerically Controlled Gas Cutting Machine
            Machine maker: Sato
            Table length: 8400 mm * 3200 mm.
        Oxygen/Acetylene & Oxygen/LPG is used for cutting. Mainly LPG is used because
it is cheap. Piercing pressure comes from Oxygen. Job is not heated to the melting point
but to the temperature where it can be plastically deformed. Gas cutting equipment uses
air pressure to produce arc. Cutting pressure ranges from 9-kg/sq. cm to 16-kgf/sq.cm up
to thickness of 50 mm of Mild Steel. Nozzle cutting speed or piercing pressure depends on
the thickness of the plate. Working pressure for oxygen and acetylene is 9-10 kg/sq. cm.
The pressure in cylinder for oxygen and acetylene is 15-kg/sq. cm. While ratio between
oxygen/acetylene and is Oxygen/LPG 1:2.In CNC gas cutting machine first it check
whether the required shape is possible or not. Nozzle, cutting speed, pressure, Pre-
heating time, pre-heating pressure, piercing pressure and curf are all according to
thickness of plate. Line in and out also causes changes in piercing time for different
shape.

    Manual Gas cutting machine



                                                                                           27
In these machines there are two cylinders each of oxygen and acetylene or oxygen
   and LPG connected two torches through hoses. The torch is made up of gunmetal.
   Generally single regulator is used for LPG, acetylene and oxygen. In winter
   season electronic pre-heater is used when to temperature falls very low. It is fitted
   between the regulator and the cylinder.

 Plasma Cutting Machine
Machine maker: Hypertherm powermax (1100 watts)
  In these machines air pressure is used to produce arc and also used for cutting
  with pressure ranging from 9-kg/ sq. cm to 16-kg/ sq. cm up to thickness of 50 mm
  of stainless steel. Here the arc produced is plasma arc .The electrode is made up
  of brass.

 Also carbon electrode can be attached to the SMAW for cutting purpose for
  stainless steel for more than 50 mm thickness.

                             ASSEMBLY SECTION
       Project Undergoing – Somanamardi
       Job Undergoing Assembly – Wicket Gate Assembly or Distributor Assembly

          •   Dummy discharge ring is placed at the bottom and is known as bottom
              head. On this ring we place the 24 guide vanes and on these guide
              vanes we place bushes along with the top head. On this top head we
              place levers whose one end is attached to the guide vane and other to
              the link. This link is attached to the regulating wheel. With the help of
              servomotor we get reciprocating motion, which is of guide vanes.
          •   In upper head there are 24 bores and in these bores 24 bushes are
              placed. In these bushes similar number of guide vanes is also placed.


                                                                                     28
•   Inner head or inner distributor is fit into the center of wicket gate
    assembly and through it the shaft is passed.
•   Through guide bearing housing shaft is passed.
•   Guide Vanes – It consists of two side’s i.e. thick end and thin side. The
    thick side is called flat side and the thin side is called chamfer side.
    The water strikes at the thick side and passes away from the thin side.
    The distance between the thick ends of the guide vein is called facial
    gap.
•   Ceiling Gap – The distance between two corresponding faces of guide
    vanes. If ceiling gap is more than we have to file to make it less.
•   Filler gauge – It is used to check the gap between two mating parts
    given as per drawing.
•   Axial play is done through dial indicator and dial stand.
•   After the fitting of head cover dew surface washers having the property
    of self-lubrication are placed on the upper surface of the guide veins.
    Their main use is to reduce friction & provide lubrication. Without
    their application the working of shaft will be affected.
•   After fitting of dew surface washers we place the track ring which
    remain fixed on the guide vanes.
•   In Francis and Kaplan turbine regulating wheel is used to provide
    clockwise and anticlockwise rotation to guide vanes.
•   Tripping Relay Device – It is a safety device used in turbines. It
    consists of arrangement of lever, spring and cam. An electronic speed-
    measuring device is placed on the shaft to calculate its speed. As the
    speed of shaft increases tension in the spring increases and it begin to
    move and a stage comes when it outer face collides with the trip of
    tripping device because of which the trip cuts off and the supply of oil
    to the shaft stops which causes shaft to switch off. It is mainly due to
    the cut off of servomotor. Maximum pressure in servomotor is 60kg/cm
    square& maximum stroke of servomotor is 172.
•   Water attacks on the pressure side of the guide vanes and flow away
    from the suction side.
•   Shot blasting is done before painting so that paints stick hard on the
    surface. The pressure in shot blasting is 6-kg/sq. cm. In shot blasting
    chips of either S.S or M.S are used of size varying from 0.2 mm to 0.5
    mm diameter. Shot blasting is carried out in a closed room having 2
    mm thick rubber walls. The operator operating shot blasting has to
    wear a special dress, which covers all his body.
•   Firstly Red oxide (epoxy-71) is used for coating the surface.
    Afterwards the epoxy paint coatings are done at the end of the job.
    These paints are of Epoxy 72 and are high quality abrasion resistant
    and water resistant. Sometimes synthetic paint is also used over S.S
    just to give a good look to the turbine and to hide the scratches.
•   Red oxide coating ensures good surface texture and smoothening. It
    also avoids scratching to the job made by applying the blue and black
    color directly to the job.


                                                                          29
•   In hydro turbines black paint is used to coat that part of the job, which
    is placed inside the water. Single red coating is applied at that place
    which comes in direct contact with oil. Yellow and blue are mainly
    used for outer surfaces, which come in contact with the air.
•   In spiral casing water is mainly given the view to flow and also a force
    is exerting on it. The water enters the spiral casing gets divided by the
    help of internal fixed blades. This water then strikes the pressure side
    of the guide vanes, which is thick and then goes to suction side, which
    is thin. After passing from the guide vanes water strikes the runner
    placed inside the spiral casing and then it starts to rotate the shaft.
    Due to this rotation the hydro energy is converted into mechanical
    energy of the rotation of shaft and this mechanical energy is converted
    into electrical energy by use of generator.
•   There are two types of balancing – static & dynamic. Static balancing
    is mainly done in Pelton turbine. It is mainly done to check weight
    irregularity. In the runner of Pelton turbine we always place weight
    during static balancing for the balancing of job. But in case of Francis
    weight removal is done from Francis runner.
•   Jobs accuracy is measured or checked by means of templates. The
    templates drawings are sending by the designer to the assembly
    department where the help of these drawings makes the required
    templates of brass. For making this we use flat files, half round files,
    needle files, rounded files and tools.
•   In runner hub we use the inner bush of brass (non-ferrous) because if
    the ferrous part is made in contact with the ferrous part for the
    rotation purpose then both these SS parts produce friction between
    them and cause scratching of each other and our purpose of rotation is
    not fulfilled. Therefore we use ferrous and non-ferrous combination to
    avoid friction. Also in these brass bushes small slots are made for the
    purpose of lubrication.
•   Tungsten carbide is used for the coating of the turbine face because
    due to high pressure water consisting of sand particles the turbine face
    is affected very much and their exists some holes in it. Due to this
    reason turbines life is reduced. To increase its life we use tungsten
    carbide.
•   SILT Tanks is used for cleaning purpose to prevent sand coming into
    the turbine. Although trash racks are provided in the penstock but they
    can’t stop sand. They can control only stop big wood blocks sought of
    thing.




                                                                          30

CHAPTER-8



                       MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT

              Maintenance is of two types:
                  1. Planned
                        I. Autonomous: 3M 3S (Japanese Method)
                           3M 3S stands for 3 minute 3 services that mean daily to daily
              checking of machine cleanliness, hydraulic pressure and oiling or
              lubrication.

                       II. Preventive:
                           In these MTBF (mean time between failures) and MTTR
                           (mean time to repair) should be same.

                      III. Predictive Maintenance
                           It is like you can predict the time to failure. It requires control
              over frequency of checking.

                       IV. Conditioning Maintenance:
                                 It is monitory very close before sometime of predictable
              failure date i.e. 10 days before so that if it fails first we can replace it or if
              it works for some more days then it prevents some money for organization.
              Different tests carried on condition monitoring like vibration test and
              hydraulic check etc.

                  2. Unplanned
                       I. Breakdown Maintenance
                      II. Corrective Maintenance



              Maintenance mainly involves infrastructure details along with the machine
              profile and all computer related things.

Here in VA Tech total production management is followed. Maintenance department also
handles computer network wiring and generators. For computer networking VA TECH
use Cat-7 technology in which 20,000 meters long wires are laid down. Proportional
Logic Controller Synchronization is used in generators which synchronies voltage,
frequency and phase angle. Maintenance involves external power generation, internal
power generation in case of power cut off, synchronization thru PLC. Maintenance also
assembled new machinery.


                                                                                             34

             In two ways the material is given:

•     Consumables (electrodes, grinding wheel)
    These tools once you give don’t return back. Consumables are always enter the SAP.

• Non-Consumables (instrument, tools)
 These tools are return back to the customer after there use. Non- consumables are
manually maintained in the register.

•     How to maintain the stock levels?
         1. Identify all major regular items with monthly average consumption.
         2. Fix the maximum, minimum and ordering level of these items in SAP.
         3. Review the stock levels and raise MPR when stock reaches ordering level
             (material purchase requisition).
         4. Consider the current lead-time while raising MPR.
         5. Purchase MPR if the level is going down.
         6. Review the consumption trend periodically.
         7. Based on the consumption trend review the list of stock items and their

After release of drawing from design department it comes to planning department. It has
following three parts:
    a) Action planning
    b) Technology
    c) Subcontracting
    d) Loading and scheduling

    Basically it handles the manufacturing process in workshop and subcontracting.
   First it prepares a job card, which has all the operation to be performed. Every time
   each process is over the supervisor has to enter the time taken by each operation in
   SAP, so that planning can monitor over the progress over job.
       It has an important part called subcontracting which look after the jobs which
   have to be machined from outside. Planning you can say is completely done and
   controlled with the help of SAP (system application product). Various important
   functions of planning are:
       a) Raising sub contracting purchase requisition

  • 9. What are hydro turbines? ANS: A hydro turbine uses the potential and kinetic energy of water and converts it into usable mechanical energy. The fluid energy is available in the natural or artificial high level water reservoirs, which are created by constructing dam at appropriate places in the flow path of rivers. When water from the reservoir is taken to the turbine, transfer of energy takes place in the blade passages of the unit .the mechanical energy made available at the turbine shaft is used to run an electric generator, which is directly couple to the turbine shaft. The power generated by utilizing the potential and kinetic energy of water has the advantages of high efficiency, operational flexibility, low wear and tear, and ease of maintenance. • Classification of turbine Turbines are of two types: A. Impulse Turbine: Wherein the available hydraulic energy is first converted into kinetic energy by means of an efficient nozzle. The high velocity jet issuing from the nozzle then strikes a series of suitably shaped buckets fixed around the rim of a wheel .The buckets change direction of jet without changing its pressure .The resulting change in momentum sets bucket and wheel into rotary motion and energy. An impulse turbine operator under atmospheric pressure, there is no change of static pressure across turbine runner and the unit is often referred to as free jet turbine. Important impulse turbines are: pelton wheel, turgo-impulse wheel, girad turbine, bunki turbine and jonval turbine etc. B. Reaction Turbine: Wherein the part of the total available hydraulic energy is transformed into kinetic energy before the water is taken to the turbine runner. A substantial part remains in the form pressure energy. Subsequently both the velocity and pressure change simultaneously as water bleeds along the turbine runner. The flow from inlet to outlet of the turbine is under pressure and, therefore, blades of reaction turbine are closed passages sealed from atmospheric conditions. Important reaction turbines are: Fourneyron, Thompson, Francis, Kaplan and propellor turbines. Hydraulic turbines further classified into various kinds according to: I. Direction of water flow through runner: Turbine 9
  • 10. 1. Tangential flow Axial or parallel flow Mixed: radial and axial (Pelton wheel) (Kapaln turbine) (Modern Francis turbine) Flow path in different types of runner has been illustrated in following figure. STATOR ROTOR BLADE (b)RADIAL FLOW (c)MIXED FLOW (a)AXIAL FLOW  Pelton wheel is the tangential flow turbine; here the centerline of jet is tangential to the path of rotation of the runner.  Propellor and Kaplan turbines are axial flow turbines; here water enters and leaves the runner along a direction parallel to the axis of the shaft.  Mixed flow turbines where water enters the runner at the outer periphery in the radial direction and leaves it at the center in the direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the runner. Modern Francis turbine is a mixed flow machine. II. Available head and discharge  High head turbines, which operate under high head (above 250 m) and require relatively small rates or flow. Pelton wheel is a high head turbine.  Medium head turbines, which operates under medium heads (60 m to 250 m) and require medium flow rates. Modern Francis turbine belongs to this category.  Low head turbines, which operate under heads, up to 30m and require very large volumetric rates of flow. Units of axial flow turbine (Propellor and Kaplan) are examples of low head turbines. III. On the basis of speed  For Pelton wheel: Ns = 9-17 for a slow runner =17-25 for a normal runner =25-30 for fast runner =40 for a double jet  Francis turbine: Ns = 50-100 for a slow runner =100-500 for a normal runner 10
  • 11. =150-200 for a fast runner  Kaplan turbine: Ns =250-850 IV. Disposition of shaft Impulse turbines have usually a horizontal shaft and vertical runner arrangement. Reaction turbine may be either of vertical or horizontal shaft type. • Main assemblies and operation of Pelton turbines  ASSEMBLIES Assemblies mainly classified into three categories:- a) Static 1) Turbine housing 2) Disposition 3) Distribution Pipe 4) Inlet Pipe b) Dynamic 1) Nozzle Assembly 2) Deflection Assembly 3) Runner Assembly 4) Distributor Assembly 5) Oil Head 6) Cooling Water c) Governing 1) Governor 2) Skada  Working Of Pelton turbine Penstock is a large size conduit, which conveys water from the high level reservoir to the turbine. Depending upon head it is made up of mild steel, concrete, or wood .It is provided with control valves like butterfly valve, also screens and trashrack are provided at the inlet of the penstock prevent entries of debris. At its downstream end, penstock fitted with an efficient nozzle that converts the whole of hydraulic energy into a high-speed jet. To regulate water flow a spear is provide which moves backward or forward thereby controlling flow area either by governing mechanism or by hand wheel. The turbine rotor, called the runner is acicular disk carrying a number of cup shaped buckets, which are arranged equidistantly around the periphery of the disk. In case of mini hydro turbine the buckets are the integral part of the runner while in case of the large hydro turbine or large runner size the buckets are bolt mounted to the runner’s disc. The runner is generally mounted on a horizontal shaft support in a small thrust bearing and is casted integrally; they are made up of stainless steel. The inner surface of he buckets is polished to reduce frictional resistance to the water jet. Each 11
  • 12. bucket has a ridge or splitter, which distributes the striking jet equally into two halves of the hemispherical bucket. Again there is a cut (notch) in the outer rim of each bucket this make the jet face the bucket only when they are at 90° to each other. The angular deflection of jet in the bucket is limited to about 165-170 degree. The arrangement has advantage that bearings supporting the wheel shaft are not subjected to any axial or end thrust. A casing is provided around the runner to prevent splashing of water and to guide the water to the tail race. It has no hydraulic function to perform apart it act as a safeguard against accidents. Speed of turbine runner is maintained so that generator coupled directly to the turbine shaft runs at constant speed under varying load conditions. Governing mechanism by regulating water supply does this above function. With increase in load, the runner speed falls and consequently balls of the centrifugal governor move inwards. Through suitable linkages, the resulting downward movement of the governor sleeve is transmitted to a relay, which admits oil under pressure to servomotor .The oil exerts a force on the piston of the servomotor, and that pushes the spear to a position, which increases the annular area of the nozzle. Quantum of water striking the buckets is then increased and the normal turbine speed is restored. Conversely happen when we have to reduce the load. • Main assemblies and operation of Francis turbines  ASSEMBLIES Assemblies mainly classified into three categories:- a) Static 1) Turbine housing 2) Disposition 3) Stay Ring 4) Spiral b) Dynamic 1) Distribution 2) Runner 3) Oil Seal 4) Shaft Seal 5) Cooling water 6) Guide Bearing c) Governing 1) Governor 2) Skada  Working Of Francis turbine 12
  • 13. Penstock is a large size conduit, which conveys water from the high level reservoir to the turbine. Depending upon head it is made up of mild steel, concrete, or wood .It is provided with control valves like butterfly valve, also screens and trashrack are provided at the inlet of the penstock prevent entries of debris. At its downstream end, penstock fitted with an efficient nozzle that converts the whole of hydraulic energy into a high-speed jet. To regulate water flow a spear is provide which moves backward or forward thereby controlling flow area either by governing mechanism or by hand wheel. Penstock is connected to and feeds water directly into the spiral casing. Casing constitutes a closed passage whose cross section area gradually decreases along the flow direction area are maximum at inlet and very less at exit. The casing is made up of mild steel or concrete. Stay vanes are usually provided to direct the water from the casing to guide vanes. Guide vanes or wicket gates are series of airfoil shaped vanes, which are arranged inside casing to form a number of flow passages between the casing and the runner blades. They guide the water onto the runner as per design. They swing around their own axes that change the flow area between two consecutive runner blades. The motion is given by means of governor. The system consists of a centrifugal governing mechanism, linkages servomotor with its oil pressure governor and the guide wheel. The water flow and its direction remain same at all the passages between any two consecutive guide vanes. Runner of the Francis turbine is a rotor and has passages formed between crown and shroud in one direction and two consecutives blades on the other. There is about 16 to 24 number of blades in runner. These passages take water in at the outer periphery it in a direction parallel to the axis of rotor. The driving force is both due to the impulse and reaction force. The runner blades are usually is made up of stainless steel. The runner is keyed to the shaft, which may be of vertical or horizontal disposition. After passing through the runner, the water is discharged to the tail race through a gradually expanding tube called the draft tube .the free end of the tube is submerged deep into the tail race. • Main assemblies and operation of Kaplan turbines  ASSEMBLIES Assemblies mainly classified into three categories:- d) Static 1) Turbine housing 2) Disposition 3) Stay Ring 4) Spiral e) Dynamic 1) Distribution 2) Runner 3) Oil Seal 4) Shaft Seal 13
  • 14. 5) Cooling water 6) Guide Bearing f) Governing 1) Governor 2) Skada  Working Of Kaplan turbine Except the runner, all other parts such as spiral casing, stay ring and stay vanes, guide mechanism and the draft tube are similar to those of Francis turbine. Between the guide vanes and the runner water turns through right angle and subsequently flows parallel to the shaft. The runner is in the form of boss, on the periphery of the boss are mounted equidistantly 3 to 6 vanes made of stainless steel. Hence it has less friction resistance as runner blades are directly attached to the runner hub and also there are fewer blades as compared to Francis turbines. The Kaplan has a double regulation, which comprises the movement of guide vanes and runner vanes. The runner employs two servomotors; one control the guide vanes and the second operates on the runner vanes .the governing is done by the governor from inside of the hollow shaft of turbine runner and the movement of piston is employed to the twist blades through suitable linkages.

CHAPTER -5 FABRICATION DEPARTMENT • Welding Equipments  TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) Machine Make: Frronius and Triodyn. 22
  • 23. It is a semiautomatic welding process. Here arc is struck between electrode and job. Electrode is non-consumable. There is ceramic coating over tungsten electrode tip. Ceramic coating is used because it has a very high melting point of 3500° C. Inert environment is provided by argon gas. Hands supply filler metal manually. TIG has better penetration as comparison to other welding operations. It has no backfire. It is specially used for giving a coating of stainless steel over a job when it is over machined or over grinded. Also some times for balancing purpose metal are added through TIG. The filler metal comes in various range of thickness from 1.2 mm, 1.6 mm, 2 mm and 2.4 mm (Make is ESAB, kobelco and bohler). Copper cable is used to connect Electrode holder and D.C. Flow meter are generally attached to the argon cylinder.  MIG (Metal Inert Gas) Machine Make: Frronius and Triodyn. It is also semi automatic welding process. Here arc is also struck between electrode and job. But here electrode is filler metal wire. Electrode is consumable. Here filler metal wire speed is 5 mm per revolution. Argon and carbon-di-oxide gases provide the inner environment. Color code for argon and carbon-di-oxide cylinder is green. The Mild steel wire diameter ranges are 1.2 mm, 2 mm, and 4 mm (Make is ESAB). Sometimes S.S coating is provided over M.S for water resistant coating. In MIG welding, spatter is prevented by applying spatter gel is applied on the torch so that spatter doesn’t stick to the torch. Spatter core is the area where spatter can reach. Welding fixture for M.S comes along with wire but for a S.S a separate fixture is used.  SAW (Submerged Arc Welding) Machine Make: Frronius and Triodyn. It is an automatic welding process. Electrode is consumable. Here arc is struck between the electrode i.e. filler metal wire and the job. Filler metal wire act as an electrode. Here shielding is done by flux. Flux is kept inside a cylinder at a pressure of 6kg/cm^2. Flux come and covers the welded zone. Grain size of flux varies from 0.2 mm to 1.6 mm. Its basicity index is 1.4. Before filling cylinder with flux, flux has to be heated at a temperature of 300°C for 2 hours .The make of flux is either ESAB or Ador. It is generally used for heavy thickness.  SMAW (Shield Metal Arc Welding) Machine Make: Frronius and Triodyn. 23
  • 24. It is used for welding pipe section like spiral. Butt joint can be weld up to thickness 15 – 20 mm. Here arc is struck between electrode and the job. Electrode can be of various types depending upon job material and the thickness of the job. Always the positive terminal of the dc source is connected to the electrode i.e. 1/3 to the electrode and 2/3 to the job. The distance between the job and the electrode depends upon thickness of the electrode at most it could be 3 mm. Electrodes are generally heated in the electronic furnace at a temperature about 100°c to 120°c before use so that it has no moisture and it gives you a continuous weld. Hoses are made us of rubber. Reverse polarity is applied in SMAW. According to American Standards, E 6013 means ‘E’ stands for Electrode. 60 stand for “tensile strength”. 1 stands for “Welding Position”. 3 stand for “flux coating or covering”. Welding job: Spiral Casing Various electrodes used are: - 1. Electrode: 7018 Used for MS (Mild Steel).

  • 26. NOTE: In other to prevent the bending while doing welding spiders are generally attached to the large hollow job. These spiders are removed by gas cutting equipments. Defects in Welding: 1. External I. Blow Holes II. Slag Trap III. Impurity IV. Surface Crack V. Under Cuts VI. Spatter 2. Internal I. Blow Holes Pin Holes II. Porosity III. Insufficient Fusion IV. Internal Cracks Types of Test 1. Dye Penetration Test: In this test firstly the surface to be tested is cleaned by thinner & then red penetrant is applied on it & then again it is cleaned. After this developer is applied on it. After drying all surface impurities like crack are visible to eye & this can be removed by the use of gauging. It is used for examining external cracks. The developer stays there for about a minute so examiner had to note the entire surface defects very quickly. 2. Magnetic Penetration Test: In this test magnetic powder is spread on the welded part & then through magnetic jaws the magnetic field is applied & where the crack exist this powder starts to jump-up or starts to attract towards the crack that depends on the development of south-north pole i.e. on the polarity. It is used for examining the internal cracks. 3. Ultrasonic Test In these test ultrasonic sound waves comes. The device used in UT test is known as transducer or search unit .It contains piezoelectric material which transmits desired frequency of sound .For normal casting defects zero degree angles is used & for bevel weld joint angled transducer is used like 60 degree, 45 degree. The defects are shown on the cathode ray oscilloscope. Before testing 26
  • 27. coupling should be applied. More the smoothness of the job more clearly the transducer detects the defect & more clear the graph is plotted. 4. Radiography Test In these test x-rays are made to fall on the job piece and deflections are noted in the form of graph and by studying them we can find out internal defects. It is a very dangerous test as these rays are very harmful to human beings. So when these test are carried nobody should be around a radius of 50 meter. These are a very accurate test as compared to other test. For X-ray test cobalt-92 and Ra-162 are used. After these if cracks are found there then these cracks are removed by gauging rod then grinding is done and after that it is again checked for cracks. For best results in gauging following steps need to be followed: 1) Air pressure should be between 5 kg/ sq. cm and 8 kg/ sq. cm 2) The angle of rod should 45° to the work piece. 3) Air jet should be switched on before striking of an arc. 4) Always use reverse polarity. Sometimes dousing is also done. It is done generally during heavy thickness and internal crack. Carbon electrode and rectifier sets with heavy current do dousing. After welding jobs are generally given a heat treatment in furnace. There are two furnaces: a) Electric Furnace: 2800 mm * 2000 mm * 2000 mm, 440 volts. b) Diesel Furnace: 9400 mm * 4400 mm * 2000 mm, With 6 burners. IN S.R furnace first there is mild steel then there is a coating of brick, then glass wool or asbestos wool and lastly mild steel grill. In Stress relieving furnace gloves made of asbestos are used. • Gas Cutting Equipments  Computerized Numerically Controlled Gas Cutting Machine Machine maker: Sato Table length: 8400 mm * 3200 mm. Oxygen/Acetylene & Oxygen/LPG is used for cutting. Mainly LPG is used because it is cheap. Piercing pressure comes from Oxygen. Job is not heated to the melting point but to the temperature where it can be plastically deformed. Gas cutting equipment uses air pressure to produce arc. Cutting pressure ranges from 9-kg/sq. cm to 16-kgf/sq.cm up to thickness of 50 mm of Mild Steel. Nozzle cutting speed or piercing pressure depends on the thickness of the plate. Working pressure for oxygen and acetylene is 9-10 kg/sq. cm. The pressure in cylinder for oxygen and acetylene is 15-kg/sq. cm. While ratio between oxygen/acetylene and is Oxygen/LPG 1:2.In CNC gas cutting machine first it check whether the required shape is possible or not. Nozzle, cutting speed, pressure, Pre- heating time, pre-heating pressure, piercing pressure and curf are all according to thickness of plate. Line in and out also causes changes in piercing time for different shape.  Manual Gas cutting machine 27
  • 28. In these machines there are two cylinders each of oxygen and acetylene or oxygen and LPG connected two torches through hoses. The torch is made up of gunmetal. Generally single regulator is used for LPG, acetylene and oxygen. In winter season electronic pre-heater is used when to temperature falls very low. It is fitted between the regulator and the cylinder.  Plasma Cutting Machine Machine maker: Hypertherm powermax (1100 watts) In these machines air pressure is used to produce arc and also used for cutting with pressure ranging from 9-kg/ sq. cm to 16-kg/ sq. cm up to thickness of 50 mm of stainless steel. Here the arc produced is plasma arc .The electrode is made up of brass.  Also carbon electrode can be attached to the SMAW for cutting purpose for stainless steel for more than 50 mm thickness. CHAPTER-6 ASSEMBLY SECTION Project Undergoing – Somanamardi Job Undergoing Assembly – Wicket Gate Assembly or Distributor Assembly • Dummy discharge ring is placed at the bottom and is known as bottom head. On this ring we place the 24 guide vanes and on these guide vanes we place bushes along with the top head. On this top head we place levers whose one end is attached to the guide vane and other to the link. This link is attached to the regulating wheel. With the help of servomotor we get reciprocating motion, which is of guide vanes. • In upper head there are 24 bores and in these bores 24 bushes are placed. In these bushes similar number of guide vanes is also placed. 28
  • 29. Inner head or inner distributor is fit into the center of wicket gate assembly and through it the shaft is passed. • Through guide bearing housing shaft is passed. • Guide Vanes – It consists of two side’s i.e. thick end and thin side. The thick side is called flat side and the thin side is called chamfer side. The water strikes at the thick side and passes away from the thin side. The distance between the thick ends of the guide vein is called facial gap. • Ceiling Gap – The distance between two corresponding faces of guide vanes. If ceiling gap is more than we have to file to make it less. • Filler gauge – It is used to check the gap between two mating parts given as per drawing. • Axial play is done through dial indicator and dial stand. • After the fitting of head cover dew surface washers having the property of self-lubrication are placed on the upper surface of the guide veins. Their main use is to reduce friction & provide lubrication. Without their application the working of shaft will be affected. • After fitting of dew surface washers we place the track ring which remain fixed on the guide vanes. • In Francis and Kaplan turbine regulating wheel is used to provide clockwise and anticlockwise rotation to guide vanes. • Tripping Relay Device – It is a safety device used in turbines. It consists of arrangement of lever, spring and cam. An electronic speed- measuring device is placed on the shaft to calculate its speed. As the speed of shaft increases tension in the spring increases and it begin to move and a stage comes when it outer face collides with the trip of tripping device because of which the trip cuts off and the supply of oil to the shaft stops which causes shaft to switch off. It is mainly due to the cut off of servomotor. Maximum pressure in servomotor is 60kg/cm square& maximum stroke of servomotor is 172. • Water attacks on the pressure side of the guide vanes and flow away from the suction side. • Shot blasting is done before painting so that paints stick hard on the surface. The pressure in shot blasting is 6-kg/sq. cm. In shot blasting chips of either S.S or M.S are used of size varying from 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm diameter. Shot blasting is carried out in a closed room having 2 mm thick rubber walls. The operator operating shot blasting has to wear a special dress, which covers all his body. • Firstly Red oxide (epoxy-71) is used for coating the surface. Afterwards the epoxy paint coatings are done at the end of the job. These paints are of Epoxy 72 and are high quality abrasion resistant and water resistant. Sometimes synthetic paint is also used over S.S just to give a good look to the turbine and to hide the scratches. • Red oxide coating ensures good surface texture and smoothening. It also avoids scratching to the job made by applying the blue and black color directly to the job. 29
  • 30. In hydro turbines black paint is used to coat that part of the job, which is placed inside the water. Single red coating is applied at that place which comes in direct contact with oil. Yellow and blue are mainly used for outer surfaces, which come in contact with the air. • In spiral casing water is mainly given the view to flow and also a force is exerting on it. The water enters the spiral casing gets divided by the help of internal fixed blades. This water then strikes the pressure side of the guide vanes, which is thick and then goes to suction side, which is thin. After passing from the guide vanes water strikes the runner placed inside the spiral casing and then it starts to rotate the shaft. Due to this rotation the hydro energy is converted into mechanical energy of the rotation of shaft and this mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy by use of generator. • There are two types of balancing – static & dynamic. Static balancing is mainly done in Pelton turbine. It is mainly done to check weight irregularity. In the runner of Pelton turbine we always place weight during static balancing for the balancing of job. But in case of Francis weight removal is done from Francis runner. • Jobs accuracy is measured or checked by means of templates. The templates drawings are sending by the designer to the assembly department where the help of these drawings makes the required templates of brass. For making this we use flat files, half round files, needle files, rounded files and tools. • In runner hub we use the inner bush of brass (non-ferrous) because if the ferrous part is made in contact with the ferrous part for the rotation purpose then both these SS parts produce friction between them and cause scratching of each other and our purpose of rotation is not fulfilled. Therefore we use ferrous and non-ferrous combination to avoid friction. Also in these brass bushes small slots are made for the purpose of lubrication. • Tungsten carbide is used for the coating of the turbine face because due to high pressure water consisting of sand particles the turbine face is affected very much and their exists some holes in it. Due to this reason turbines life is reduced. To increase its life we use tungsten carbide. • SILT Tanks is used for cleaning purpose to prevent sand coming into the turbine. Although trash racks are provided in the penstock but they can’t stop sand. They can control only stop big wood blocks sought of thing. 30
