[0044] S1 preparation work, generator gas replacement is completed, the pressure inside the machine is maintained at about 50kPa, and the sealing pads are inspected in the hot state of the turbine. The cranking downtime and lubricating oil downtime should be shortened as much as possible. The inner wall temperature of the turbine body regulating stage drops to below 400℃, and the temperature should be as low as possible. Before stopping the main oil system, the sealing oil system is poured into the self-circulation mode, and the cranking is briefly stopped, the time is controlled within 20 minutes, the top shaft oil pump is stopped, the TOP oil pump is stopped, the #10 bearing lubricating oil inlet filter is reversed, and the #10 bearing oil inlet is cut off, and then the cranking operation is resumed, and the sealing oil system is poured into the normal mode.

Close the main engine lubricating oil to sealing oil manual door, switch the sealing oil system to self-circulation mode, and restore the #10 bearing lubricating oil inlet filter to normal, which took 6 minutes. Immediately after the work was completed, TOP was started, and there was no obvious change in the temperature of each bearing. Open the main engine lubricating oil to sealing oil manual door, and switch the sealing oil system to normal operation.
