    FEEDBACK NO. 70

    HUNTING OF HP CONTROL VALVE (UNIT 4, KSTPP)

    PROBLEM

    Hunting of HP control valve No. 2 of unit IV accompanied by shaking of HP secondary fluid and 32 bar fluid
    lines of the control valve, noticed.

    OBSERVATION

    The HPCV-2 was found to oscillate by 2 to 4% as per the control room valve position indicator, even at
    constant HP secondary fluid pressure. All the parameters in the control fluid system were normal and the
    accumulators were in service.

    PROBABLE CAUSE

    a) Due to sticking of auxiliary pilot valve.

    b) Due to resonance of supporting structure.

    ACTION TAKEN

    The rotating auxiliary pilot (item No. 14 as shown in the drawing enclosed) of the control valve
    servomotor was taken out for inspection. Some scratch marks were noticed on the auxiliary pilot. Due to
    these scratches and high spots, the auxiliary pilot valve, the control valve was not moving smoothly.
    Shaking of fluid pipeline associated with HPCV-2 was also caused by the oscillation of control valve 2. the
    auxiliary pilot was polished and the high spots were removed. Care was taken to preserve the sharp
    edges, of the pilot.

    Performance of the control valve became normal after polishing and reassembling the aux. Pilot. Shaking
    of associated pipelines also stopped after this corrective action.

    REMARKS

    Similar problem was faced with HPCV-4 of unit IV later on and it was corrected by polishing the auxiliary
    pilot of control valve servomotor.
