Summary
As originally installed, the primary process pump turbines in 190-B were arranged to accelerate considerably upon loss of BPA electric power supply to the Process Pump House. However, the acceleration comes too late to be of value in maintaining top of riser pressure within the first second or two, and the acceleration results only in maintaining final process water pressure and flow at values higher than needed. It is desired to limit the acceleration of the turbines to a relatively small amount in order to decrease the emergency steam demands and keep the combined steam demands of 100-B and 100-C Areas within the capacity of 184-B Boiler House, as outlined in Document HDC-2106, revised June 4, 1951. This report recommends that the desired results be obtained by simply reducing the speed setting of the turbine speed governors. No new equipment is needed. The setting of the emergency over speed trips would be left unchanged.
