DASAR – DASAR STEAM TURBINE

PRINSIP KERJA TURBIN UAP
Turbin adalah pengganti sistem penggerak dasar dalam industri dan transportasi laut, di gunakan di daerah operasi yang tidak boleh terkena kontaminasi dari api atau percikkan lonjakan listrik. saat ini penggerak sistem uap sudah banyak tergantikan oleh motor listrik dengan kelas IP anti ledak tetapi di sebagian area tetap di gunakan dengan pertimbangan biaya operasional.
Dasar yang di gunakan untuk memutar ROTOR turbin adalah Uap bertekanan tinggi di semprotkan melewati nozzle untuk akurasi semburan, pada ROTOR TURBIN terdapat banyak sudu atau blade untuk menahan dorongan dari uap sehingga menimbulkan gaya gerak.

Dual Roll Crusher System for Mining application

Roll Crushers are compression type crushers, and were once widely used in mining. They have, within the last 10 or so years, fallen into dis-favor among mining and processing companies. The probable reason is because the large mines require very large crushed product output with minimal cost, makes the roll crusher uncompetitive. The roll crushers are not nearly as productive as cone crushers, with respect to volume, and they do have a little higher maintenance associated with them. Roll crushers do, however, give a very close product size distribution, and if the ore is not too abrasive, they do not have high maintenance costs.

Roll crushers have a theoretical MAXIMUM reduction ratio of 4:1. If a 2 inch particle is fed to the roll crusher the absolute smallest size one could expect from the crusher is 1/2 inch. Roll crushers will only crush material down to a minimum particle size of about 10 Mesh (2 mm). A roll crusher crushes using compression, with two rolls rotating about a shaft, towards the gap between the rolls. The gap between the rolls is set to the size of product desired, with the realization that the largest feed particle can only be 4 times the gap dimension.

The particles are drawn into the gap between the rolls by their rotating motion and a friction angle formed between the rolls and the particle, called the nip angle. The two rolls force the particle between their rotating surface into the ever smaller gap area, and it fractures from the compressive forces presented by the rotating rolls. Some major advantages of roll crushers are they give a very fine product size distribution and they produce very little dust or fines. Rolls crushers are effectively used in minerals crushing where the ores are not too abrasive and they are also used in smaller scale production mining of more abrasive metal ores, such as gold. Coal is probably the largest user of roll crushers, currently, though. Coal plants will use roll crushers, either single roll or double roll, as primary crushers, reducing the ROM coal. Usually, these crushers will have teeth or raised forms on the face of the roll. (Roll crushers used for minerals and metal ores have smooth faced rolls.)

Jogjakarta Earthquake – 07 Sep 2009

 

Gempa telah terjadi lagi di jogjakarta, tetapi tidak seperti tahun 2006, skalanya sekarang ringan dan tidak berpotensi sunami…………….

kenapa akhir akhir ini sering terjadi gempa ?

Kutipan kata KEPSEK BMKG Yogya , Tony A Wijaya :

Gempa tektonik berkekuatan 6,8 Skala Richter (SR) mengguncang sebagian wilayah Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY), Senin malam pukul 23:12:24 WIB, dan menyebabkan sebagian warga berlari ke luar rumah untuk menghindari hal-hal yang tidak diinginkan.

Menurut Kepala Seksi Data dan Informasi Stasiun Geofisika Badan Meteorologi, Klimatologi dan Geofisika (BMKG) Yogyakarta Toni A Wijaya di Yogyakarta, Selasa dini hari, gempa tersebut berpusat di laut dengan jarak 253 kilometer tenggara Wonosari, ibukota Kabupaten Gunungkidul, DIY.

Pusat gempa berada pada 10,33 Lintang Selatan - 110,62 Bujur pada kedalaman 35 kilometer.

Menurut dia, gempa tersebut tidak berpotensi tsunami karena berpusat di tengah laut, yang jauh dari pantai.

Ia menjelaskan gempa disebabkan oleh penunjaman lempeng Indoaustralia terhadap lempeng Eurasia.

Guncangan gempa dirasakan oleh sebagian warga di wilayah Kabupaten Bantul, dan Kota Yogyakarta. Sebagian dari mereka berlari ke luar rumah, dan menunggu beberapa saat sebelum kembali masuk ke dalam rumah.

"Di Wonosari sendiri, guncangan gempa tidak begitu terasa karena batuan di wilayah itu lebih padat," katanya.

Oleh karena itu marilah kita merenung sejenak tentang segala sesuatu yang akan kita lakukan di masa mendatang……

pelajaran berharga yang diberikanoleh alam.

DYNAMIC BALANCING PROCEDURE – SCHENCK H4 Series ( BLP PROCEDURE )

The measuring units have to be switched on some time before starting the machine so that they reach working temperature (approx 15-30 min)

BEARINGS

The pedestals have to be fixed to the bed at correct distance from each other as well as from the drive. If necessary lubricate the sliding surfaces with oil before displacing the pedestal. Height adjustment of the roller bearing has to be performed in accordance with the journal diameter of the rotor.

DRIVE

Place rotor on to the bearings.

Close counter support

Adjust roll or hold-down so that the journals just don’t touch the rotor.

ELECTRONIC UNIT

Set electronic unit in accordance with rotor dimensions, balancing speed and mode of compensation.

Apply black and white marking to the rotor.

Set photo scanning head.

Switch on driving motor.

OBSERVE SAFETY PRECAUTION

Before starting the drive make sure that the pedestals are correctly fix to the bed, the counter support are closed, the cover of the drive shaft-if available –is set up, the protection cover – if available – is placed over the rotor, nobody is in the danger field

MEASURING AND BALANCING

Start the drive

Run the rotor up to balancing speed

Take and retain the reading

Switch off drive and brake

Compensate

BALANCE ACCURACY, BALANCE QUALITY

(ISO Standards 1940 – BALANCE QUALITY GRADES)

1. Determine the Quality Grade of the Rotor

(ISO 1940 – Balance Quality Grade)

Quality Grades

G 16

G 6.3

G 2.5

G 1

(Precision Balancing)

G 0.4

(High–Precision Balancing)

Individual Components of Engines (Gasoline or Diesel) for cars

Normal Electrical armatures

Medium and Large Electrical armatures with special requirements, small electrical armatures

Phonograph drives, Grinding – machines drives

Armatures of Precision grinders, gyroscopes

2. Determine The Permissible Residual Unbalance Of The Rotor

Example : G = 6.3; Service speed 1500 rpm results in 40 gmm/kg of residual unbalance (rotor mass)

From this result that permissible residual unbalance of the rotor of e.g. 1.2 kg amounts to 48 gmm. This means the permissible residual static unbalance. With a symmetrical rotor this unbalance is distributed among two planes, i.e 24 gmm in each plane.

Note : The mass of unbalance to be compensated on the rotor to be balanced is determined in the same way as the rotor mass : by weighing it. In relation to our example this means : the rotor has a weight of 1.2 kg, the residual unbalance amounts to 24 gmm per plane, with a correction radius of e.g. 24 mm the residual mass of unbalance weights 1 g.

For reference see next table.

BALANCING ON AUXILIARY ATTACHMENTS (SHAFT, FLANGES ETC) BY “RIGHTABOUT INDEXING”

Should auxiliary Attachments such as shaft, flanges or similar additional implements be necessarily added to the rotor in order to carry out the balancing procedure, the question would inevitably arise, to what extent the indicated total unbalance could actually be ascribed to the rotor itself and what part is due to the auxiliary attachment. Or in other terms, how to resolve the total unbalance in to two components, one of which would correspond to the unbalance of the rotor sought for.

Two measurements are necessary as a rule in order to determine two unknown values ( in the case considered both the unbalance components). For solving the problem, the successive measurements would have to be carried out under different condition.

This necessary variation generally applied in practical balancing is achieved by “right about indexing”. Which can be illustrated by the following supposed example :

a) Setup consisting of an exactly balanced auxiliary shaft with an eccentric fitted seat carrying an accurately balanced rotor.

image Because of the eccentricity of the shaft, the indicator head would show an unbalance reading corresponding to the product of the mass of the rotor “m” multiplied together with the eccentricity “e”, therefore E = m . e.

If the rotor is turned on the shaft, it becomes evident, that the unbalance condition expressed by the value E, does not depend upon the rotor angular position of the rotor with respect to the axis of the fitted seat is equal to zero as mentioned above.

 

b) On the other hand should the rotor, considered in subdivision “a”, be affected itself with the unbalance “U”, this imageunbalance superposed the initial unbalance “E”  would produce a different reading corresponding to the vectorial resultant both the component unbalance. It is evident, that the compensation for the unbalance of the rotor “U” should be done not with respect to the conventional zero, but with respect to the displaced center ”E”. The trouble is, that the location of the center “E” is not known, and therefore should be determined ( see fig b2 ). It is however, independent to the only known and visible value, the vector “A”. Further measurements are required.

   

c) The rotor with the unbalance “U” is supposed to be turned by the angle about the center “E” invariable with respect to the phase generator or the contrasted marking for the photoelectric head.

image The new unbalance reading would still correspond to the vectorial resultant of the same components “E” and “U”, the magnitudes of which are kept unchanged, whereas the angle is modified by the amount. Or in other term the vector terms the vector “U” would describe a circle about the center “E” when the rotor turn about the fitted seat.

 

  d) This would open a way for practical determination of the center ”E” by carrying out successive runs with the rotor displaced angularly step by step (indexing) with respect to the fitted seat of the shaft, until the reading plotted on to the dial of the instrument (or on to a special diagram on graph paper) would sufficiently outline the shape of the circle described by the vector “U” :

The radius of this circle corresponds to the unbalance of the rotor; the center of the circle is the reference spot, with respect to which this unbalance should be compensated for.

Two measurement with respective reading A1 and A2 (see fig d1 and d2) are as a rule sufficient to answer the question correctly. The arbitrarily chosen amount of angular displacement should be exactly known. An angle of 180o is often used for practical reasons.

AUXILIARY SHAFTS

Rotor without own shaft are either placed on an auxiliary shaft or connected to intermediate flanges unless balancing on a vertical machine is preferred.

In order to keep in actual operation the fine condition of balance achieved on the balancing machine, the accuracy of the auxiliary shaft has to be frequently ascertained. The closed fit with respect to the mating portion of the rotor of the cylindrical seat or the centering shoulder of the auxiliary shaft, as well as therate of eccentricity of the same shown by the amount of radial beat, have to be checked at regular intervals. Notwithstanding an accurate balancing on the machine, an excessive radial beat could cause the rotor to display in actual operation an unbalance, the magnitude of which depends upon the rate of eccentricity of the mating surfaces of the auxiliary shaft.

Should for instance the cylindrical seat of the auxiliary shaft be affected with a radial beat of 12 µ (0.00047 in) measured by means of a dial-gauge, a rotor balanced “up to zero” on such a shaft would still display with respect to its geometrical axis an unbalance by eccentricity of the center of gravity of 6 µ (0.00024 in). The accuracy achieved on the machine was merely seeming!

For this reason the auxiliary shaft have to be handled with care and kept from shocks, concussion and falls.

The accuracy of balancing depends also upon the tolerances of the fit between the mating portion of the auxiliary shaft and the rotor. The corresponding allowance has to be considered in the expected magnitude of the accumulative unbalance limit along with the similar tolerances originating from the eventual assembly of the finished mechanical unit.

Should for instance the maximum permissible variation of the center of gravity amount to 5 µ (0.0002 in) the sum of the following partial tolerances would still be acceptable \

Tolerances due to

the auxiliary shaft

Tolerances due to the eventual assembly

Beat Ba = 1µ = (0.00004 in)

Fitting allowance Fa = 2µ = (0.00008 in)

Beat Be = 3µ= (0.00012 in)

Fitting allowance Fe = 4µ= (0.00016 in)

The total unbalance

U†    =          clip_image002                   = 0.5µ + 1µ + 1.5µ + 2µ = 0.00002 in + 0.00004 + 0.00006 + 0.00008 in < 5µ (0.0002 in)

This Relationship doesn’t take into consideration a residual unbalance of the rotor still present after balancing process; hence the rotor has to be balanced accurately up to “zero”.

Auxiliary shafts with tapered seats have not allowance for the fit, between the shaft and the rotor, which is and advantage over the shafts provided with cylindrical seats.

Should the radial beat of a carefully ground tapered seat amount for instance to 6µ (0.00024 in) a rotor balanced “up to zero” by means of this shaft would still be affected with an eccentricity of the center of gravity with respect to the geometrical axis amounting to 3µ (0.00012 in). Increased by the residual unbalance of 2 µ (0.00008 in) which might have been allowed in order to speed up the balancing procedure, this would result in accumulative limit value of 5µ (0.0002 in). This amount has to be increased by the tolerance due to the eventual assembly. Should the total value lie above the unbalance still permissible for the rotor involved, it would have to be reduced, cutting down the component values which would allow for a convenient improvement.

Furthermore for disk like rotor fastened to a flange of the auxiliary shaft a possible uneven position of the rotor causing a wobbling motion has to be considered. The effect would increase in direct proportion to the ratio of the rotor diameter to the size of the flange. A rotor accurately balanced on such an auxiliary shaft would subject the bearings the bearings to an additional “dynamic” unbalance.

GENERAL RULES FOR BALANCING

In order to achieve a correct functioning of the machine and an exact compensation for the unbalance, following general rules have to be observed:

1) For rotor driven by means of universal joint shaft the weight of the shaft with respect to the weight of the rotor to be balanced has to be kept as small as possible. The magnitude of the motive torque as well as the braking torque should not exceed the nominal value of the admissible torque for the chosen drive shaft. The drive shaft should have no backlash and has to be exactly centered. Discrepancies in the position of the joints are conducive to erroneous measurements. The mating faces of flanges have to be parallel to each other and free from foreign matter. A misaligned drive shaft would introduce errors in the measurements.

2) No foreign objects have to be wedged in the cross-spring hinges of the pickup leverage system, as well as in the guides of the connection rods and between the multiplying levers and the fixed structure of the pedestals. Additional friction in the oscillating bridges and the reciprocating coils would induce angular discrepancies in the indication and cut down the sensitivity.

3) The distance between the correction planes and the length of the radius to the location of the correction have to be chosen as large as possible. This would allow to utilize the full sensitivity of the indication system by reducing the reciprocal influence of the correction planes. Moreover large radii would increase the accuracy in determination of angular positions, and allow a compensation by means of smaller correction weights or drilled holes.

4) Should the compensation for the unbalance be done by drilling, too deep holes have to be avoided. For holes in radial direction the shift of the center of gravity towards the axis of rotation reduces the effect of the compensation. For holes in axial direction a displacement of the center of gravity off the correction planes disturbs the “setting of correction planes”, hence causes the reciprocal influence of the correction planes to reappear at least to some extent. For these reasons it is advisable to compensate for heavy unbalances by means of two holes located to either side of the theoretical position.

5) With rotor composed of distinctly heterogeneous parts, care has to be exercised to avoid displacements which would be likely to influence the readings of the instruments (as for instance the centrifugal setting of coiling of electrical armatures or axial displacements of fan wheels on their shafts).

6) The balancing procedure has not to be continued beyond the condition required (average tolerance values have been established by the Association of German Engineers). A balancing up to “zero” is not advisable as a rule because it increase unnecessarily the production costs.
