BHEL has collaboration with M/S Siemens for steam turbines and steam turbines are under manufacture with this design. Earlier collaboration was with M/S BRUNO AND M/S SKODA of Czechoslovakia for which spares are manufactured and supplied.

Tests carried out on steam turbine :

No load mechanical run test is carried out as per international standards API 612 and BHEL standard to prove:

a) Vibrations of machine at no load .

b) Oil flow to bearings.

c) Bearing temperatures
d) Performance of governing system.
e) Tightness of oil and steam systems.
f) Protections of turbine

4-Test beds are available and simultaneously 4 machines can be assembled at a time, 2- independent oil systems , common vaccum systems and condensate system are available.

Facilities available to test steam turbine:
    1. Boiler of 30T/Hr capacity.
    2. Condenser
    3. Cooling water pumps and cooling tower
    4. Condensate extraction pumps.
    5. Oil system for lubricating oil and Gov. Oil.
    6. Vacuum System
    7. Governing system testing and adjustment facility.
    8. Data acquisition system.
    9. Vibration recording and Analysing software.
    10. Test stand electronic governor.

Test plant is equipped with state of art data acquisition system which has modules to acquire data in the field and digitised signals are transmitted to control room for records and analysis. Facility also Includes computerised vibration analysis system for online evaluation and analysis of vibration behaviour of machines.
