Generator Seal Oil Flashcards
What is the purpose of MT LO in the generator seal oil system?
Cools and conditions the seal oil
What is the purpose of the generator seal oil system?
Controls leakage of hydrogen gas.
Maintains hydrogen purity by preventing atmospheric contamination
What is the power source for the gen seal oil pumps?
NH
What is the power source for the emergency seal oil pump?
NK
How does the main generator interface with the gen SO system?
Receives and circulates seal oil for rotor shaft sealing
What is the purpose of the seal oil vacuum tank?
Lube oil enters through spray nozzles and a float valve to remove gases from the oil.
Remaining gases are removed from the recirculating flow.
What helps to reduce foaming in the vacuum tank?
Recirculation of oil from the tank back through the spray nozzles.
What happens to the oil in the vacuum tank if normal LO supply is not available?
SO is automatically recirculated and returned to the vacuum tank via the seal drain.
Where is the vacuum tank located?
140’ turbine building. NE corner
What is the purpose of the SO vacuum pump?
Takes suction on the SO tank and recirculates it to remove entrained gasses.
What seals and lubricates the vacuum pump?
Oil is supplied from a separator tank mounted above the pump.
What is the power supple for the vacuum pump?
NH
What is the purpose of the main SO pump?
Takes suction from the vacuum tank and pumps oil to the shaft seals at approx. 83 psig
What happens to excess oil pumped by the main SO pump?
Returned to the tank through relief valve PSV-11
What is the power supply to the main SO pump
NH
