In the illustration of a typical ship service turbo generator control system, the device that monitors turbine exhaust pressure is labeled _______. See illustration SE-0009.
• Follow the exhaust flow path from the turbine to the condenser and look for where back pressure would be sensed. • Differentiate between devices that sense lubricating oil pressure, speed, or steam chest pressure versus those that sense exhaust pressure. • Identify which labeled component on the right-hand side is directly connected to the turbine exhaust/condensing system, not to the governor or oil sump.
• Starting at the turbine, trace where the exhaust steam would leave the turbine and enter the condenser; which labeled device is positioned to measure pressure at that point? • Which labels are clearly associated with the governor and lubricating oil system on the left, and can therefore be eliminated as exhaust pressure monitors? • Of the remaining candidates near the exhaust/condenser, which one is shaped and located like a pressure-sensing or trip element rather than a valve handwheel or drain?.
• Verify that the chosen label is on the turbine exhaust / condenser side of the diagram, not on the oil sump or speed governor side. • Confirm that the component is a sensing/trip device, not a simple manual valve or drain connection. • Make sure the element has a connection line leading from the exhaust space or condenser region to the device body, indicating it is actually monitoring pressure.
