Stator cooling system

•   The stator winding is cooled by distillate,      •   The system is designed to maintain a
    which is fed from one end of the machine by          constant rate of cooling water flow to the
    a Teflon tube and flows through the upper            stator winding at a normal inlet water
    bar and returns back through the lower end           temperature of 40°C.

    winding calls for the use of very high quality
    of cooling water. For this purpose DM water
    of specific resistance is selected.
Generator Sealing system

•   Sealings are employed to prevent leakage of hydrogen from the stator at the point
    of rotor exit.

•   The seal oil is a portion of the lube oil, diverted from the lube oil system. It is then
    fed to a separate system of its own with pump, motor, hydrogen detraining or
    vacuum degassing equipment, and controls to regulate the pressure and flow.

•   A continuous film between the rotor collar and seal liner is maintained by the
    means of oil at a pressure, which is about O.5 atm above the casing of hydrogen
    gas pressure.

•   The thrust pad provides a positive maintenance of the oil film thickness.
Generator Seal Oil System
 System functions:

 • supplying the generator shaft with seal oil with hydrogen.

 • permanent monitoring and differential pressure
    regulation of hydrogen and oil,

 • oil seal maintenance
     – air and hydrogen separation,

     – oil filtration,

     – temperature regulation,

 • removing oil vapors and hydrogen from the hall.
Generator Seal Oil System

• This system follows the following path:
 •   Main Oil Tank
 •   Main Oil Pump
 •   Seal Oil Cooler
 •   Seal Oil Filter
 •   Damper Tank
 •   DPR (Differential Pressure Regulator)
 •   Hydrogen Seal
 •   Seal Oil Fans
 •   Main Oil Tank
• This system has two more pumps:
•    AC Seal Oil Pump
•    DC Seal Oil Pump
Generator Seal Oil System

•   The pressure of seal is 4.2kg per sq Cm. while the pressure of hydrogen is 3.5 kg
    per sq. cm. The purpose of this system is to provide seal to the hydrogen used for
    cooling of stator. If the seal breaks, the system also breaks down.

•   MOT(main oil tank):- It contains 28000ltrs of turbine oil. It supplies oil to all
    bearings and seal.

•   MOP(main oil pump):-It takes from the main oil tank and supplies further.

•   Seal oil cooler:- It contains clarified water and distilled mineral water. The outer
    covering area is called   housing. It covers an assembly of about 200 tubes
    assembled on plates. Air gaps are found between the tubes (25mm above, below
    and on each side of each tube).These gaps are filled using hydrogen which cools
    the stator.
Generator Seal Oil System
•   Seal oil filters:- These are rounded mesh like structures kept over each
    other. There are about 34 filters present.

•   Damper tank:-It is kept at 14mtrs of height above the ground. If MOP
    fails A/C or D/C pump works and if these fail then damper pump comes
    into action. Here the hydrogen pressure is .7% to .9% less than the oil
    pressure because if the hydrogen pressure increases, the seal would
    break down.

•   DPR(differential pressure regulator):- The function of DPR is to
    regulate the pressure of the oil and balance it. Whenever main oil
    pump fails, the AC seal oil pumps starts automatically .DC seal pump
    fails but it can supply the oil up to an hour. The generator is kept at a
    height of 8meters so that oil is supplied by pressure.
