What Does the Idle Time Variation Tell?

1. Under high-speed rotating speed the idle time becoming long means that the check valve of the main steam valve and the speed control valve or the extraction steam piping are not closed tightly and leak.
2. If the idle time is shorter than the previous, which shows that the vacuum is not maintained properly, the oil temperature is changed and the mechanical parts have friction, or the bearing operation deteriorates or the moving and static portions of the turbine have friction.
