Hydrogen in the power plant for generator cooling

1005 754 Alexander Hanf

Generators in power plants, especially turbo generators, are cooled with hydrogen. During operation, the rotor and strator generate heat. This heat is absorbed by the hydrogen (H2) inside the generator and dissipated via heat exchangers. As H2 absorbs heat better than air, generators with high output are cooled with H2.

The hydrogen supply in power plants is usually particularly safe, reliable and monitored. LT GASETECHNIK supplies the reliable technology for hydrogen supply for generator cooling in power plants. For example, as a complete package consisting of:

  • Pressure control stations
  • Automatic switching stations
  • Safety and gas measuring devices
  • Safety concept and explosion protection document

 

Project example:

 

 

 

As a preliminary stage, the equipment can be checked against the current standards. LT also offers a safety study as an external expert, in accordance with

  • Pressure Equipment Directive
  • ATEX
  • Industrial safety ordinance in connection with TRBS and TRGS

From our works in Dortmund, Germany, you receive from a single source:

  • Safety study, consulting
  • Concept and detail engineering for the mechanical part
  • Engineering, design and programming of the measurement, control and automation system including gas analysis technology
  • Manufacturing, testing and commissioning of the systems
  • Documentation with CE marking, risk analysis, HAZOP study, possibly SIL classification
