OE31369, MFW Pump Discharge check valve failed to fully close. Original OE29594.
During March 2009 Outage, backflow detected through check valve.
Disassembly showed 1 broken spring and 2 with visible wear of spring coils due to friction.
Remaining Components indicate normal wear.
Factory installed new springs, radial guide assembly, performed seat leak test.
Returned to site as spare

Corrective Action
Increased clearance of spring holder and spring cavity.
Eliminate possible solid height of spring
No change to spring design
Improve check valve reliability without changing Vmin or disk closure force with zero flow

Valves incorporating design changes were installed in all six check valve locations (3 per unit) during 2010
Two valves removed for modification & refurbishment Sept. 2010
Factory evaluation shows spring wear after 12 months and 18 months of service
Valves with the modification are operating per design

ConclusionFinal conclusion is pending the removal of the check valves from service to confirm spring wear has been eliminated
Current PM frequency is 4.5 years
Next valve scheduled for removal/PM is during Spring 2012
