Abstract :
MODERN STEAM TURBINE-GENERATORS are complex pieces of equipment designed to operate continuously for long periods of time without shutdown. To operate one of these large generators properly requires the close following of operating guides and procedures for the particular type of unit. This article presents some recommendations by design engineers on procedures to be followed in starting, operating, and maintaining large, conventionally cooled turbine-generators.
