2.2 Design and Construction Requirements
2.2.1 General
The turbines will be of the Francis type with vertical shaft arrangement. The turbine is designed
to run safe and stable considering multiple daily start-stop-cycles.
The turbines are rotating counter clockwise when seeing from top. The turbine shaft is directly
coupled to the generator shaft.
The power unit will be equipped with three guide bearings, one close to the runner on the head
cover, other below the generator and third on top of the generator.
The thrust bearing, for carrying the weight of the rotating parts of the turbine and the generator
as well as the hydraulic thrust, will be part of the generator.
The uniform water inlet to guide apparatus is performed by a full spiral case with stay ring and
stay vanes. The water discharge from runner to tail race is done by an elbow-type draft tube
with steel lining up to the location where flow velocity of 4m/s arises. Thereafter, liner shape will
be formed in the concrete as per the suppliers drawing.
The flow is regulated by Wicket Gates operated by two servomotors supported on the civil
structure of the turbine pit. Reliable operation including Safe closing of the Wicket gates shall be
achieved by a nitrogen/oil pressure accumulator.
The turbine will be designed and constructed to provide clearances for axial movement of its
rotating parts as required by the generator design for inspection, adjustment and dismantling of
the thrust bearing.
The maximum turbine internal pressure resulting from pressure surge and water hammer for
emergency closing of the units against the maximum flow at maximum head water level will be
calculated. The design pressure for spiral case, stay ring, head cover, distributor and other pressure parts will be equal to the calculated maximum internal pressure.

Sketch of Typical Lever and bending link arrangement
In case of foreign object is jammed between the closing edges of two consecutive wicket gates,
two wicket gates can’t be closed. In order to protect the linkage and the gates and so as to
avoid possible cascade failure, the two related bending links will be subject to plastic
deformation due to the excessive force while distributor is closing. After removing the jammed
object, the deformed bending links have to be replaced. Due to the use of the bending linksthere is no other damage caused. The major advantage of the gate mechanism with bending
link is that the wicket gate will never be free and collide with rotating runner because even after
the related bending link undergoes plastic deformation, remains attached with operating ring.
Each gate link shall be provided with one limit/proximity switch to provide indicating signal for an
occurrence of bending link deformation.
Schematic of bending link plastic deformation
The operating ring shall be supported on head cover through axial and radial self lubricating
bearings. The sliding surfaces of operating ring with the bearings shall be of stainless steel. The
operating ring shall be designed to withstand rigidly the unbalance forces from servomotor as
well as in event of bending link(s) failure.

10 - Stand still seal
The hydrostatic operating seal consist basically of a seal support ring, a static seal ring with a
synthetic seal ring insert and a metallic sliding ring (fixed to the turbine shaft). The static seal
insert will axially seal against the sliding ring. Filtered water will be fed into the seal ring insert
chamber between the two seal surfaces and creates a water film which acts as a hydrostaticbearing separating the rotating sliding ring and the stationary seal ring. There is no physical
contact between the two rings and therefore theoretically no wear occurs. Flushing purified
water will prevent any sand from entering the shaft seal surfaces, so that the wear rate for the
seal ring is very low.
The seal ring is pressed against the sliding ring by a number of stainless steel springs which
also ensure the seal function if the unit is at standstill and the lubrication water supply is
switched off. The seal is able to move axially. The diameter of the seal ring is designed to
equalize forces from the water pressure acting on the seal ring; therefore the seal is not
sensitive to changing water pressures. The seal support will be bolted to the head cover.
The design will allow the inspection and replacement of the sealing components.
A wear indication for the seal ring insert shall be provided to supervise the wear, without the
disassembling of any part of the sealing housing.
3.5.2 Standstill Seal
The standstill seal will be installed between the water passage and the Operating seal. It is
intended to protect the operating seal during extended periods of standstill.
The standstill seal consists of an inflatable rubber profile which applies to the shaft whenpressurized, thus sealing off the water passage. When being relieved, the water pressure of the
water passage pushes back the sealing lips from the shaft.

The seal must be applied only when the turbine is stopped. It is applied manually by operatingthe control valve. A limit switch on the operating valve prevents the turbine from being started,
when the standstill seal is applied. The operating valve will be secured with a padlock.
The air to inflate the standstill seal will be taken from the compressed air system. If necessary a
pressure reducing valve will be provided to reduce the air pressure to a value applicable for the
standstill seal.
3.6 Draft Tube
The draft tube will be of the elbow type. The draft tube will consist of the draft tube cone, the
draft tube liner and the concrete portion. The draft tube cone will be bolted to the bottom ring atupper side and to the draft tube liner at lower side.
The draft tube lining will be a welded steel plate assembly. To facilitate transportation it may be
sectionalized for field welding. Because of its rigid design with outside stiffening rings and ribs
and concrete reinforcements the draft tube will withstand safely pressure variations and
pulsations under all operation conditions.
The draft tube liner will have a suitable number of pads and connections for the application of
jacks or leveling screws and tie rods for anchoring during field erection. The draft tube will have
a steel lining until the location where flow velocity of 4m/s arises. From there the draft tube will
be shaped in concrete according to the requirements given by the hydraulic neat line.
The draft tube will rest on solid foundation and bracing during embedment. Fixations will be
designed to support and position the draft tube during all conditions of installation and
concreting.
The cone will be split in two parts with dismantling joint to facilitate runner removal from bottom.
The draft tube cone will also provide access to the draft tube inside via a man-door to enable
inspection and maintenance service. The inner surface of the man door cover will conform to
the interior contour of the draft tube liner. A test cock will be provided below the sill of the door.
The upper portion of the draft tube cone directly below the runner will be made from stainlesssteel with an extension of approx. 650 mm.
A drain box will be made at the lowest point of the draft tube, protected by a suitable and
removable inlet grating. A connection for the spiral case drain pipe will be provided.
One set of pressure taps with pipe connection will be installed.

3.7 Bearing
3.7.1 Guide bearing
The turbine guide bearing will support the turbine shaft and will be designed for radial forces
originated from the turbine runner. The radial forces will be transferred via bearing housing,
head cover and stay ring into the civil structure.
The turbine guide bearing will be of the segmented, adjustable, multiple-shoe, self-lubricated
type. The shaft is running on the bearing pads. The segments are machined in a way to self
adjust to the optimum position with respect to load and circumferential speed.
The bearing elements are lined with a high-grade anti-friction Babbitt metal securely anchoredto the bearing backing.
The guide bearing will be located above the shaft seal and will be as near as possible to the
runner and will consist of a bearing support or housing and removable bearing elements.
It will permit axial movement of the shaft.

The oil circulation will be of the self-pumping type by the action of the rotating oil pan mountedon to the turbine shaft. An oil reservoir of sufficient capacity to contain all the oil required by the
bearing lubrication system is provided around the bearing. The bearing reservoir is an integral
part of the bearing housing.
Cooling of bearing oil will be done by an external cooler as well as air cooling due to the
convective heat transfer from rotating oil pan surface to the ambient air. Such air cooling is an
added advantage of this type of bearing. This air cooling effect is always available when water
cooling stops due to cooling water failure which decrease rate of temperature rise.
