GENERATOR AUXILIARY SYSTEM

GENERATORS AND ITS AUXILIARY CAN BE BROADLY DEVIDED INTO THREE SYSTEMS A) Stator water system B) Seal oil system C) Gas system D) Generator

Stator Water System

Stator water cooling is a closed loop system There are two full capacity single stage centrifugal pumps with change over facility The pumps are driven by 3Ph. 415V A.C. motors The stator water cooler is shell and tube type heat exchanger DM water flows through shell

Stator Water System

There are two mechanical filters and one magnetic filters Mechanical filters are of wire mesh type Magnetic filter is having permanent magnet The expansion tank is a hermetically sealed container made of S.S.

Stator Water System

Float valve is there in the expansion tank to maintain water level in the tank which act as suction storage tank for stator water pumps Polishing unit (mixed bed ion exchanger) is there to maintain conductivity of stator water to desired level

SEAL OIL SYSTEM

Generator shaft seals are supplied with pressurized seal oil to prevent hydrogen escape at the shaft Oil pressure is kept higher than the gas pressure There are one AC seal oil pp. and one DC seal oil pp. which feed oil to the seal through cooler and filter

SEAL OIL SYSTEM

Both the seal oil pumps are 100% capacity screw type pump A vacuum pump is provided to maintain vacuum in seal oil tank There is a additional facility to supply seal oil from governing oil The seal oil pressure to the seal is controlled by DPR which maintain specified DP between oil and hydrogen

SEAL OIL SYSTEM

Thrust oil is there to hold the seal ring in position against gas pressure Two seal oil coolers having 100% capacity is provided to cool the oil Duplex filter is provided in the oil line Vacuum pump evacuates gases from SOT

ABOUT HYDROGEN

H2 and O2 combine slowly at 180C or in bright sunlight. Explosion occurs with moist gases at 550 - 700C. Ignition temp. of H2 in air is 538C. Calorific value of H2 is 136 k Cal / gm. For filling in TGs, 99.9% v/v purity gas is used. Traces of SO2 and NH3 shall not be detectable by analysis.

ABOUT HYDROGEN H2 is lightest gas with 0.09 gm / litre while airs 1.3 i.e. 14.4 times. Thermal capacity of H2 as gas is high. Thermal conductivity of H2 is 5 times that of air. Its specific heat is 3.42 at 0C, as compared to 0.237 of air. 2 H2 + O2 mixture ignites on adiabatic compression at 526C, 3H2 + O2 at 544C.

H2 FILLING
Check availability of adequate no of Hydrogen filling points and cylinders Functionally check the LLD system Check whether the relief valves in the high pressure valves are alright Check the generator is completely boxed up Check the seal oil system is in service

 Check generator air tightness test is successfully completed Start purging air with CO2 till the purity of CO2 inside casing reaches above 95% After CO2 purity reaches as desired start purging CO2 with Hydrogen Continue purging till hydrogen purity reaches above 98%

 Pressurise generator casing with hydrogen up to its design value Recheck hydrogen leakages by detector Take drier into service Take gas coolers into service Vent the coolers and establish flow
