"V\7"0UR Elliott turbine has been carefully designed, accurately built, 1 thoroughly tested and inspected. Every effort has been made to place
this unit in your hands in perfect condition, so that you may receive the many years of trouble-free service that have been built into it.
When this turbine reaches you, it is expected that you will assume your full responsibility, by adequately protecting it during any period of storage, by providing skilled workmen for moving the unit to and upon its foundation, by aligning and piping it up correctly and by providing proper attendance for routine operation. This instruction book provides such cuts and text as will best illustrate and describe how the above may be accomplished. These re commendations are" based on many years of turbine building experience and should be followed as closely as possible to obtain the best operating results from your Elliott turbine.
L ^.
.
SPECIAL NOTICE
Your turbine is protected against corrosion for the period of shipment and installation only. Remove slushing oil before starting up. Provide turbine casing drainage.
IF NOT USED IMMEDIATELY
Store in clean dry place, in an approximately level position, to avoid distortion. Open turbine, remove carbon rings from rotor and leave them off. Slush the rotor all over.
(Refer to Section If, page 11, item "Casing") Slush all finished exterior and interior parts with heavy, non-corrosive oil. Cover complete unit to protect from dust. Inspect periodically and renew slushing oil where necessary. Before starting, slight corrosion should be carefully removed with fine emery cloth. Before using, clean thoroughly with lint-free rags.

The type CY turbine is^hipped as a complete unit, mounted on substantial skids and covered with an open framework of light crating. The purpose of the latter is tcTindicatc to the riggers the outside limits of the turbine and provide a means of visually identifying the contents of the

due to very rough or improper handling in transit. If the unit, is not to be used at once, follow the directions contained in the_special notice attached to the turbine and to the_turbine crating. This special notice is also shown on the index page of this instruction book. '
If the unit is to be installed at once, remove the coverings from the variousopenings and carefully clean the slushing oil from the several parts. With the turbine still on the skids move it to the site of the foundation and there remove the skids.
TURBINE PIPING
No part of the turbine installation is more im portant, for future successful operation, than a well-designed and well-executed piping job. There arc two definite, objectives in a good piping job: to prevent the heated piping from imposing strains on the turbine casing and thus affecting the alignment; to so connect and drain the tur bine steam and exhaust lines that dry steam is furnished to the turbine and water accumulation in these pipe lines is prevented.

OPERATION, ROUTINE INSPECTION
Tiie.se machines requirira. lninimnm of operat ing attention since they Jrc substantially built to withstand the severe settee conditions to which mechanical drive turbines are usually subjected. Providing adequate lubrication is the one really e.s.wnlial and important operating detail. How ever, any routine system" of inspection which anticipates possible opentTing difficulties before they reach serious proportions is manifestly desirable, and such a routine system is outlined beiow. The adoption otziliis system of routine
inspection with such modifications or amplifica tions as are necessary to'HF it into the operating schedule of your particular unit is recommended.
DAILY INSPECTION
1--Check oil level on all bearings. 2--Fill governor oil cup once every 8 hours. 3--Check bearing temperatures by hand. 4--Check smoothness of operation by hand
and note any change. 5--Note any unusual noises or conditions
and check frequently.
__
6--If shutdown is made daily, trip einer-
gency valve by striking hand trip lever.
7--Check speed of unit.
WEEKLY INSPECTION
1--Blow down steam'strainer connection "ir (Fig. 4). _ ^
2--If not on continuous running schedule, trip emergency valve by overspeeding the turbine, as previously -described.
3--Oil governor and overspeed trip linkage sparingly with oil can.
YEARLY INSPECTION
1--Belorc disassembling or assembling any of the various units of your turbine, carefully read Section If of this book.

7--Check turbine bali thrust bearing (Y-185, Fig. 1) for end play. Flush out with a pressure stream of clean oil.
8--Check operation of sentinel valve (Y-%,
Fg. 1).

9--Lift casing and inspect both the moving
anil stationary blading; clean out any
accumulation of scale and dirt between
the buckets.
10--Check carbon rings to sec that they arc
not fouled by an accumulation of scale or
rust in packing cases. Carefully remove
rings, clean and reassemble. CAUTION : --Read Section II.
11--When again in operation check turbine
speed, tripping speed and general opera tion. 12--ft is a good idea to have an Elliott ser
vice engineer inspect your turbine once
each year.
MONTHLY INSPECTION
1--Change bearing oil and clean oil reser
voirs. If in a very dirty atmosphere make this a weekly duty.
2--Remove governor Fbver and bearing
caps and make visual inspection of
governor parts and bearings. Clean as
necessary.
~v
3--Check governor linkage and overspeed linkage for lost motion.
4--Remove steam strainer and clean. If very dirty, make this a weekly operation.
5--Oil governor lever fulcrum ball bearings,
(Y-189, Fig. 3). 6--Check coupling between turbine and
driven apparatus for looseness or wear; if this is a lubricated coupling, check the
lubrication.
RENEWAL PARTS AND SERVICE FACILITIES
The Elliott Company maintains a staff of field
engineers to supervise the installation and start
ing up of new units. They arc also available for
inspecting, adjusting, ordering repairs, ami suiter-
vising or installing repairs on older units. Their
services are available at any time, usually on very
. short notice. In case of emergency their expert
knowledge may be of great assistance in getting
the unit back in service without delay.

The steam chest is composed of three chambers through which the steam Hows as follows: steam passes from the steam inlet through the steam strainer basket (Y-195), then through the gover nor valve and hushing (Y-58 and Y-60), and from this point, through the overspeed trip valve (Y-77, Fig. 2) into the steam ring and tints into
the turbine nuzzles. All of these parts are housed in one casting which in turn is bolted to the steam ring of the turbine. To inspect the strainer basket, it is only necessary to remove the cover (Y-193, Fig. 3), after which the basket can be taken completely out and cleaned. To inspect the governor valve and the overspeed trip valve, the governor lever (Y-S3) and the trip belierank lever (Y-92) should be removed, then the steam chest cover (Y-64) may be taken off, exposing both the speed regulating governor valve and the over speed trip valve. The governor valve (Y-58) may

To reassemble governor valve hushing, place bush ing in the steam chest anil drive into position witli a bar of nonferrous metal and punch the edge of the steam chest so that the bushing cannot come

Minor variations of speSJ adjustment to suit minor changes in operating loads are obtained by tightening the governor spring adjusting nut (Y-40) for an increase in speed, and slacking off on this nut to decrease the speed.
