About the course

This self paced learning path explains Steam Turbines from an operation and maintenance perspective. First the working of a Steam Turbine is explained and the components, ranging from the casing and the HP turbine, to the seals and the coupling are detailed. The auxiliary oil systems, the sealing, the supervisory control systems and the steam regulation valves are then explained.

The participants will be shown the control options for a Steam Turbine. What is the function of the Governor? What is the architecture of the trip system? What automatic protections are built into a steam turbine? Common maintenance procedures, such as opening the casing and removing the rotor, and adjustment or removal of the journal bearing are then explained The training course concludes with performance monitoring and troubleshooting. Participants are shown how vibration analysis can be used to identify problems in the steam turbine such as rotor rub or an unbalance, and how the performance of the steam turbine can be monitored using which measurement points.

This learning path is formed of 11 courses split across 10 hours 30mins of video recording based content.
