Equalizing valve is fully open to start small flow of steam in cold piping.

The cooling water used to condense the steam is the smallest water system in the power plant.

It should be understood that a power plant produces electricity and stored prior to customer distributions

Cutting in heaters on the steam side before cutting in the water side is extremely dangerous.

At full load, furnace explosions are least likely to occur.

In partial loss of air, reduce fuel to reestablish fuel-air ratio.

If load swings too much, go on auto for combustion control.

Water should be used on Class B fire.

After a valve has been fully opened, the hand wheel should be turned toward the closed position one-half turn.

The viscosity of oil increases with increase of temperature.

The Boiler Control System must not allow selection of manual operation of complete systems and individual pieces of equipment

Serious damage to the turbine could result from an uncontrollable drum level.

The primary air fan is started first to create a slight negative within the boiler.

If heater gets full of water, it’s possible for this water to get into the extraction line and back into the turbine.

Turbine overspeed trip is normally set at about 120% of operating speed.

During generator field loss, the generator is tripped to prevent the generator from getting out of step with the system and causing system disturbance and damage to generator.

Always bring fuel up first and air flow last when increasing load, and decrease air flow first and fuel last when decreasing load.

If the reheat temperature is carried lower than the design temperature, the cost in the fuel will be escalated.

The efficiency of a turbine unit will not be affected if the steam pressure at the throttle is low.

Check-off sheets should be used after start-up of major equipment and auxiliary systems.
