Stator And Isophase Bus Cooling Flashcards
What does the isophase bus cooling system provide cooling for?
Electrical buses from the main gen terminals
Main power transformer
UAT
What does the stator cooling water provide cooling to?
Main gen stator windings
Gen bushings
Rectifier excitation system
Gen lower frame extension
Describe the stator cooling system flowpath.
2-100% capacity pumps in parallel, two coolers in series, tank, filter, generator.
What provides continuous purification for the stator cooling water?
Deionizer by means of a bypass line from the cooler outlet to the storage tank.
What flows through the tubes in the stator cooling water coolers?
Turbine cooling water.
What is the arrangement of the stator cooling water cooler?
Can be parallel or series.
Describe the flowpath of the isophase cooling system.
Motor driven fan, air to water HX, 2-100% redundant units, both are normally in service at the same time.
What provides power to the pump motors?
NG
What provides power to the local annunciator and generator trip relays?
NKN-M45
What is the makeup water source for stator cooling?
DW
What provides cooling water to the collector housing heat exchanger?
Normal chilled WC
Where are the stator cooling water pumps located?
140’ of the turbine building
What causes the standby stator cooling water pumps to auto start?
If the in service pump’s discharge pressure drops below a given set point.
Describe the capacity and quality of the stator cooling water pumps.
80% capacity, shell and tube HX,
In series on the shell (stator water) side and in parallel on the tube side.
Whay are the duplex strainers used?
Allows for switching out the clogged strainer while still maintaining operation
What is the purpose of the stator cooling water storage tank?
Mounted at a sufficient height to provide NPSH for the stator cooling water pumps.
