During the pre-commissioning, power and vibration characteristics and efficiency of the turbine were checked. All controlled parameters correspond to norms.
The turbine operates in a standard mode at rated load. There are no remarks on the part of the Customer in terms of the equipment operation, including condenser.
At Balakovskaya NPP "Turboatom" replaced a condenser of the turbine with the capacity of 1000 MW, tube systems of modular type condenser are performed using titanium cooling tubes and titanium clad outer tube plates. The condenser consists of three cases including 6 modules in each one.
Resulting from the works carried out, the turbine capacity is expected to increase by 5 MW, its reliability and efficiency will increase as well.
