Generator Hydrogen and CO2 Flashcards

1
Q

Why was hydrogen gas chosen as a cooling medium for generator?

A

it has a high thermal conductivity and because of its small size it provides low friction between the gas and moving parts of the generator

Q

Flow path of hydrogen in the generator?

A

1) flows between rotor and stator and thru the rotor body
2) internal components of the main gen excitation system
3)hydrogen cooled by cooler with TC and then circulated thru the gas dryer
4) a portion of flow passes thru core monitor and pyrolysate collector to monitor the generator for overheating

16
Q

What drives the hydrogen thru the dryer moisture remover?

A

DP developed by the shaft mounted fans in the generator

17
Q

what must be done to the dryer if the alumina changes to a pink color?

A

moisture must be removed by reactivation of the dryer

18
Q

How is reactivation performed?

A

isolating the dryer from the generator, aligning it to the suction of the seal oil systems vacuum pump and aligning an air inlet, then energizing a heater, contained in the dryer moisture remover unit

19
Q

Why is it important that air flow is established prior to energizing the heater?

A

to prevent damage to the alumina crystal

20
Q

How do you know the alumina is reactivated?

A

it is blue

21
Q

what is the purpose of the hydrogen control cabinet?

A

provides ability to monitor the GH associated generator parameters and provide alarms to warn the operator of possible problems

22
Q

What is the purpose of the hydrogen gas analyzer?

A

to monitor and provide indication of the generators hydrogen purity

purity must be maintained above 90% for effective cooling in the generator and if purity is allowed to lower to 80% the generator must be shut down

23
Q

What does a hydrogen purity of 75% correspond to?

A

Upper explosive limit

24
Q

What is the purpose of the core monitor?

A

provides immediate warning of local overheating in a gas cooled generator before extensive damage can result to the machine

The monitor detects thermal decomp of a small amount of material to see what component is wearing

25
Q

Where is the remote readout for the core monitor located?

A

control room behind the horse shoe

26
Q

What is the purpose of the pyrolysate collector?

A

a device containing filter assemblies for obtaining pyrolsates from the generator hydrogen

will start to sample when the core monitor goes into alarm

27
Q

what is the nominal sample time for the generator at 75psig

A

15 mins

28
Q

What hydrogen purity band do we normally maintain in the generator?

A

90-100% (normally 99%)

29
Q

What is the sample flow rate of the core monitor?

A

500 standard cubic centimeters per minute

30
Q

What happens if we cant keep hydrogen purity above 80%?

A

must shutdown and the hydrogen removed from the casing with C02 prior to reaching explosive limit of 75%

31
Q

What is the max inlet hydrogen gas temp?

A

48C

32
Q

What is minimum hydrogen pressure for which main generator operation is procedurally allowable?

A

30psig

33
Q

how can I rid the hydrogen if C02 is not available?

A

vent to atmosphere

34
Q

What must be done if TC is lost?

A

trip main gen
