In the illustration of a typical ship service turbo-generator control system, the handle labeled "B" is used to _______________. Illustration SE-0009
⢠Identify what component the handle labeled B is mechanically connected to in the diagram (governor, overspeed trip, lube oil system, or pinion/turning gear). ⢠Recall how a turbine overspeed trip is normally reset versus how a governor is bypassed or placed in manual control. ⢠Consider how lube oil is normally supplied to the manifold and bearings on a ship service turboâgenerator (electric pump vs. any handâoperated device).
⢠Look at where motion from handle B is transmitted: does it move linkages toward the governor, toward the trip mechanism on the steam valve, or toward the oil pump/manifold? ⢠Ask yourself which of the listed functions would realistically be done by a small hand lever during normal startâup or after a trip: which ones would require more power or a different mechanism? ⢠Compare the location of the overspeed trip parts (near the main steam valve) with the location of handle Bâdoes the drawing show a direct connection or an indirect path?
⢠Verify exactly which labeled parts are directly connected by solid mechanical linkages to handle B. ⢠Confirm whether any line from handle B goes into the lube oil sump or manifold (if not, eliminate that choice). ⢠Check the rightâhand side of the drawing for the overspeed trip and steam stop/operating valves and see how their reset or trip linkage is shown relative to handle B.
