 MAIN OIL PUMP(MOP)
• LOCATION: This pump is mounted in the front bearing
pedestal. It is coupled with turbine rotor through a gear
coupling.
• Oil suction from MOT Through two number of injectors
connected in series.
• Takes over when turbine speed > 2800 rpm.
• Supplies oil for turbine bearing lubrication as well as for
the turbine governing system. .

 AUXILIARY OIL PUMPS(AOPS)

• Two in number, AC motor driven

• Vertical one stage rotory pump with radial impeller & spiral
casing.
• Supplies oil during turbo-set starting and stopping when the
turbine is running at speed lower than 2800 rpm supplies oil to
governing system as well as to the lubrication system.
• It also serves as standby to main centrifugal oil pump.
• Submerged pump body

PMI Revision 01 14
 EMERGENCY OIL PUMP(EOP)

• This is a centrifugal pump, driven by D.C. electric motor.

• Vertical
• Centrifugal submerged
• This automatically cuts in when ever there is failure of A.C.
supply at power station and or the lub oil pressure falls below a
certain value. This pump can meet the lubrication system
requirement under the conditions mentioned above.

PMI Revision 01 15
 JACKING OIL PUMPS(JOPS)
• JOP1 & JOP2
• Both pumps are AC driven but in some of the plants one
of the JOP is DC driven also.
• To lift the rotor assembly during TG start up and shut
down.
• Suction from MOT.
• delivers a pressure of 120kg/cm2 for lifting of rotor.

PMI Revision 01 16
 OIL COOLERS
• To cool the lubricating oil
• Consists of tube nest, inner & outer shell & water boxes
• The cooling medium for these coolers is circulating water.
• The pressure of the cooling water is kept lower than that of oil to
avoid its mixing with oil in the event of tube rupture.
• OIL TEMP. CONTROLLER for maintaining the lub oil temp at
rated value by controlling the flow through the coolers.

PMI Revision 01 17
 VAPOUR EXTRACTION SYSTEM

• Two Vapour Extractor fans

• Exhaust fans
• Maintains -ve pressure inside MOT
• Removes oil fumes from the MOT.

PMI Revision 01 18
 OIL Filter

• Basket type filter inside the oil tank

• For thrust bearing
• Duplex filter
• Filter changeover required after choking.

PMI Revision 01 19
 Main Oil Centrifuge

• Required for removing moisture from the turbine oil.

• A portion of oil is continuously circulated through the centrifuge

to remove the moisture from the oil.
