Inspection & Maintenance Interval Framework
Revision D deliberately does not invent universal calendar or operating-hour replacement intervals where equipment manufacturers, operating conditions, statutory requirements or actual condition data must determine the final service interval.
- Continuous / Online: Trend hydraulic pressures, flows, speeds, bearing temperatures, vibration, cooling, DC-link and BMS status.
- Routine Operating Round: Visual leak, noise, temperature, vibration, cooling, guards and cabinet condition.
- After First Commissioning: Recheck leakage, alignment trends, oil, filters, fasteners and instruments as required.
- Condition-Based: Service oil, bearings, seals, wear rings, filters, valves, fans and cooling surfaces according to measured condition or OEM threshold.
- Planned Outage: Intrusive pump/turbine inspection, coupling alignment and valve/electrical maintenance as required.
- Statutory / Certified: Pressure relief, pressure systems, electrical protection, BESS/fire systems and lifting gear follow mandatory intervals.
- After Trip / Abnormal Event: Inspect affected subsystem before return to service.
- After Major Maintenance: Repeat relevant alignment, leak, pressure, electrical and FAT/SAT functional checks.
Condition-Based Inspection Points
| Subsystem | Trend / Inspect | Escalation Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Pump Hydraulics | Q-H/power deviation, suction margin, cavitation signature | Material deviation from accepted performance or new cavitation behavior |
| Rotor / Bearings | Vibration spectrum, bearing temperature, axial movement, oil debris | New resonance, rising trend, threshold exceedance or abnormal debris |
| Mechanical Seals | Leak rate, flush pressure, filter condition | Rising leakage, inadequate flush or face heating/damage |
| Pressure Boundary | Leakage, corrosion, weld and nozzle distress | Any pressure-boundary leak or deformation |
| Recovery Turbine | Power versus flow/head, vibration, speed and runner condition | Efficiency loss, cavitation, overspeed event or unstable guide control |
| Cooling | Flow, temperature, fouling and fan/pump condition | Low-flow state or rising approach temperatures |
| Electrical | Thermal condition, alarms, insulation, earth and bonding | Hot joint, insulation fault, repeated trip or protection anomaly |
| BESS | Cell delta-V/T, SOC/SOH, insulation and thermal/off-gas alarms | Supplier threshold, imbalance or insulation/fire signal |

Those requirements are finalized through OEM documentation, condition monitoring, validation gates, statutory requirements, commissioning records and actual site operating history.
