[ APPLICABILITY ,
4 This report is applicable to the TDI nuclear standby servica diesel generators utilized at the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station.
Other TDI nuclear standby service diesel engines have essentially the same air start valve capscrew design, based on incorporation of the 10CFR Part 21 Report issued by TDI on the old design.
However, as part of the TDI Owners Group Design Review / Quality
.b i
a Revalidation effort, each nuclear service standby diesel engine j air start valve will be reviewed to compare specified torque d values, gasket material, etc., with those for the airstart capscrews on the Shoreham engines.

SECTION'4
SUMMARY
OF SERVICE CONDITIONS ,
The air start' valve assembly is secured to the cylinder head via two capscrews. These capscrews are installed with a l ^
specified torque,-which produces a tensile load in the capscrew ..
and subsequent clamping force'on the air start valve assenbly. -
This clamping force opposes the cyclic forces induced by the
- cylinder pressures.
l .
Initially, a stress (Spy) is induced in the capscrew by ;
-preload. In addition to this preload stress, a cyclic fatigue
- streru is induced in the capscrews due to the cylinder firing
- pressure force. ,

SECTION 5 METHODS OF ANALYSIS 5.1 - Air Start. Valve-Dimension Check ,
To ensure proper assembly of components, the capscrew must not " bottom out" within the cylinder head. This will
~
not occur providing'the minimum clearance available exceeds
' the maximum capscrew length. . The minimum capscrew clearance is determined _by taking dimensions of the various parts of the air start valve assembly penetrated by the Capscrew. As
- shown in Appendix B, Figure 1, the four items requiring measurement are the valve cap, valve housing, space between cylinder. head and valve housing, and-the cylinder head tapped hole. Thus by adding these four dimensions while ,
.,m.
considering the maximum tolerance in the direction to z
'I I- . pr' ovide minimum length, the minimum'capscrew clearance is
%).
determined.

Q.
- 5.2 iDetermination of Applied Stresses' In determining _the stresses applied to the air start valve capscrews,.the tensile-preload resulting'from the.
applied' torque is first--calculated lar the relation Fpy= W .2d -Eq. 1 (Reference 3) where T= applied torque, LB f-in
~
d= r,ominal capscrew diameter, in Fpy= capscrew preload~,_LBf due to torque T
~
.The resulting tensile load is taken to act uniformly over
. the' minimum cross sectional. area ( A (min) ) of the capscrew, located at.the~thiaads, so that the resulting preload stress is maximized.
Theftensile loa's d produced in the capscrews are converted to i ) alclamping(force _on the air st' art valve Assembly which serves to The-pressure loads are calculated resist-the pressure loadings.

('( j _ SECTION 6 DISCUSSION.OF RESULTS
- Per Reference j2, a dimension check indicates .that a 0.2 -inch minimum clearance exists within the cylinder tapped hole. As a result,'thecair start valve capscrew will-not " bottom out" upon
- torquing..
Per reference 5, fatigue failure in capscrews is avoided if the total applied mean. stress (St ) is below the yield point for the' component material and the endurance strength exceeds the cyclic. stress by an acceptable margin. ' Jus per Appendix A
. Table ~1, the total: applied-mean stress (St ) taken at the minimum cross sectional' areas A(min) is:37.5 ksi.
Per. Reference 4, the yield strength for the capscrew
' materiallis 92 ksi minimum. 'As a result, the criteria for a.
- J'-
fatigue. resistant design, namely S # b is satisfied.
t y:
As shown in Appendix A, Table _1, the capscrew design utilizes an endurance stress of 9.0 ksi with a cyclic stress of
+1.6 ksi (see Appendix B, Figure 3) and therefore, satisfies the
' second criteria for~a fatigue resistant design. The presence of-the^p'eload-.
r serves to' reduce the range of stress cycling and
^
subsequent fatigue effects on the capscrews. As a result, the specified torque ~which provides the preload is acceptable.
During start up of the engine, a stress'is imposed on the capscrewssdue to starting air pressure within the air start valve assembly. This stress 11s insignificant compared to the greater alternating stress induced by cylinder firing pressures.

. LDuring engine' operation,'the' valve. assembly copper-gasket is subjected to elevated temperatures. -As-a-result, of the-
, 4 . temperature rise and preload, creep occurs within the gasket whichiwill decrease the totalicapscrew preload. To compensate, the': existing diesel engine maintenance procedures require
~ ; retorquing at specified1 intervals until no change is detected.
- Atithis time'the gasketDis fully ~ compressed at its operating l:temperaturcLwith the requiredLpreload. ,Hence, capscrew preload 1
is maintained.during thelfull range'of engine operation.-
