Steam Turbine Rotor Lift Measurement

10/25/2016 12:31 AM

How can we calculate rotor lift of a steam turbine via jacking oil pump?

With only one sentence of information, you can't. In fact no one can.

How about measuring it rather than trying to calculate it? (Perhaps too many variables.)

Maybe a pressure regulator on the jacking pump output might also help. For instance, it could enable height adjustment.

How much shaft clearance do you have? Take that and divide by two. That is the rotor lift when jacking oil exceeds the minimum allowed pressure. Doh!

Rather physically measure the shaft lift with a DTI at each journal, providing you have sufficient space to do so. On a 500mm dia shaft the lift is around 0.2mm but they all differ slightly.
