Need of Sealing Where ?


In Hydrogen Cooled Generator .

Why ?
To Prevent escape of Hydrogen from Generator casing along the rotor shaft.

How ?
By Providing radial and axial oil film. Oil pressure = higher than hydrogen gas.

Types of Seals -

1) Thrust type seals (LMW)

2) Ring type seals (KWU)

Functions Oil supply to seals through an injector in normal operation. Automatic taking over of oil supply by pumps. (A.C. and D.C.) Cools and filters the oil before supplying to seals.

Always maintain a constant differential pressure between the seal oil pressure and hydrogen pressure at varying casing pressure.
Drain out effectively the oil flowing towards the hydrogen side without allowing any hydrogen to escape.

GENERATOR SEALS

IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE ESCAPE OF HYDROGEN FROM GENERATOR, SEALS ARE USED ON EITHER ENDS OF THE MACHINE WHERE THE ROTOR COMES OUT OF THE STATOR.
Powerpoint Templates Page 6

The shaft seal consists of seal liner with babbitted surface pressing against the collar of the rotor and is suitable mounted in a seal body so as to be able to follow the rotor free in the axial direction. Oil under pressure is supplied to an annular chamber in the seal body from where it is led to the space between the seal liner and rotor collar through several canals distributed uniformly along the Powerpoint Templates Page 7 periphery.

This oil under pressure and under the influence of rotation and configuration of the seal linar surface , forms a continuous hydrodynamic film between the collar and liner which prevents the escape of hydrogen from inside the machine.

Advantages & Disadvantages Advantages Very little quantity of seal oil flows towards H2 side thus making a lesser effect on H2 purity during operation.

Disadvantages A separate collar has to be provided on the rotor shaft. Restricts the flexibility in rotor shaft expansions, rotor collar movement, is limited to the allowances available in the seal body. Excessive thrust on the seal ring or sudden impact of rotor

may damage the babbit surface of the seal ring and it may
require machining of the rotor collar also, due to mechanical rubbing between seal ring and rotor collar. Powerpoint Templates Page 29
