DA0171P01 REV - 3
Introduction
The Environment One Generator Gas Dryer (GGD) is a dual tower, open regeneration-
type hydrogen dryer. A dual tower dryer incorporates two vessels, one in drying mode
and one in standby or regenerating mode.
The GGD uses a blower and motor assembly to continuously circulate hydrogen gas
from the generator casing volume to the dryer assembly. This permits the dryer to
remain online even while the generator is at stand still or on turning gear speed. In
addition, the blower and motor assembly are rated for use with hydrogen (explosion
proof).
The GGD is a microprocessor-controlled system that uses inlet and outlet dew point
measurements, via dew point transmitters, to determine the efficiency of the dryer as
well as to control if and when the “in service” tower needs to be regenerated. This is the
default regeneration control. However, should a field-adjustable time span elapse, a
timer will control the regeneration cycle. This additional regeneration control guarantees
that each tower is exposed to the same duty cycle, which, in turn, prolongs the life of the
desiccant, motor, switching valves, etc. and further ensures proper function and
efficiency of the dryer system. The GGD, as an open regeneration dryer, is the most
effective method to remove moisture from the column to be regenerated and does not
require the addition of a cooling water supply connection as with closed-loop
regeneration dryers. Although the open regeneration uses some hydrogen from the
system, the consumption of hydrogen during regeneration is very low, approximately 2
SCFM for a maximum of approximately 2 to 4 hours.
The GGD incorporates a molecular sieve (desiccant) for moisture removal. Additionally,
the GGD incorporates a moisture separator on the inlet piping connection. This pre-filter
is designed to remove contaminants such as liquid or mist turbine oil. Turbine lubricating
oil will degrade the molecular sieve efficiency. Although the generator hydrogen gas
cooling system is not supposed to be contaminated with oil, it often occurs because of
system malfunctions.
The GGD also incorporates an after-filter to prevent the admission of broken-down
desiccant materials from entering the generator or the gas piping.

Mechanical Installation & Considerations
These instructions provide details to facilitate equipment installation. The exact location
of the Dryer should be in accordance with recommendations made by the generator
manufacturer, power plant management or their authorized representatives.
Proper training of individuals involved with mechanical connections and other installation
activities is the responsibility of plant management. Contact Environment One for
additional installation instruction and/or if plant management requires additional detail,
beyond that which is covered in this document, to ensure safe and proper installation.
All gas connections to the dryer are to be leak tested in accordance with local codes and
professional practice before continuing.
Mounting
The location chosen should be such that the equipment will not be subject to extremes
of dust, temperature, vibration or shock. It should be accessible for service, with
adequate clearance.
Piping
Piping connections should be in accordance with the P&ID. E/One recommends running
¾” piping for runs less than 75’, and 1” piping for all runs over 75’ from the generator.
Bends and fittings should be kept to a minimum.
E/One recommends installing a low point drain on the vent connection. Piping from the
dryer should be angled downward slightly to the low point drain, so that condensing
moisture cannot drain back into the dryer.
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the required pressure relief devices are
properly installed prior to initial operation with maximum setting to be 150 PSI. Safety
valves must be installed on the vessel without intervening valves between the vessel
and protective devices and point of discharge. Vent discharge should be located in a
safe area with no source of ignition.
Valve Setup
Prior to applying power for the first time refer to Appendix Figure 1 for proper valve
orientation.
DA0171P01 REV - 8
Electrical Installation & Considerations
These instructions provide details to facilitate equipment installation. Proper training of
individuals involved with wiring and other installation activities is the responsibility of
plant management. Contact Environment One for additional installation instruction
and/or if plant management requires additional detail, beyond that which is supplied in
this document, to assure safe and proper installation.
Prior to applying power, ensure that the local power source used matches the power
rating on the respective module nameplate and consistent with E/One specifications.
Reference should be made to the documents attached (i.e. Customer Interface, P&ID,
etc.) to assure power connections are made in accordance with the design parameters.
Environment One recommends that all wiring be in accordance with ATEX Standard
EN60079-14. All wiring must be in accordance with local codes and requirements of the
local authority that has responsibility.
CAUTION! Care must be taken when removing the covers of explosion proof
enclosures to avoid damage (scratches, etc.) to the sealing surfaces. Do not
remove or open covers from the enclosures unless power is removed from the
customer interface and the system is free of hydrogen (or explosive gas
mixtures).
Power must be removed from the Dryer if the main electronic enclosure is opened for
any reason.
Plant management is responsible for providing overload protection of the three phase
power lines.
Customer Connections
Customer connection kits are available for either cable gland (DA0157G01) or Conduit
(DA0157G02) type connections.
Conduit Seals
The GGD II’s electrical system includes explosion-proof seals. These fittings must be
filled with proper sealing compound and fiber (Crouse-Hinds Chico “A” sealing
compound and Chico “X” fiber). Failure to comply with this requirement is a safety
violation. It is the responsibility of plant management to ensure electrical installation is in
accordance with safety guidelines.
DA0171P01 REV - 9
Apply Power – System Power-Up
When plant personnel have inspected all electrical and mechanical connections and
concluded that installation has been in accordance with instructions, power should be
applied to the dryer. Do not open Inlet/Outlet isolation valves until dryer has been
purged of air.

Startup Problems
The GGD verifies its software by checksum testing the contents of its read-only memory
(ROM). If it finds a problem, it will stop the POST process and flash BAD CHECKSUM
on the LCD. The FN key may be pressed to allow the GGD to continue the POST
process. However, proper operation cannot be guaranteed if this error is present.
The GGD checks to see if it can communicate with the I/O board and if the I/O board is
the proper type for the processor board. I/O MISMATCH will be displayed and the POST
stopped if the I/O board and the processor board are mismatched. The post can be
resumed by pressing the FN key. I/O UNVERIFIED will be displayed if the processor
cannot determine if the I/O board is OK. The I/O UNVERIFIED error will not stop the
POST process.
The GGD verifies the supplied three phase power against the operating voltage setting.
The GGD will display VOLTAGE TOO HIGH if the voltage is at least 40 volts too high
(440 for the 400 volt setting, 500 for the 460 volt setting, or 640 for the 600 volt setting).
It will display VOLTAGE TOO LOW if the voltage is 40 volts or more too low. The error
will stop the POST process. Press the FN key to exit the POST process or the ENTER to
resume it.
The direction of rotation of the circulator is determined by the phase order of the three
phase power supply. The GGD will stop the POST and display SWAP PHASE ORDER if
the phase order needs to be changed. The phase order must be swapped at the input
power terminals and not at the junction box on the motor.
The GGD is designed to dry hydrogen. A CIRCULATOR FAULT may occur if the GGD is
started with air or carbon dioxide. A closed isolation valve may also cause a
CIRCULATOR FAULT. The CIRCULATOR FAULT message is displayed if the input
power drawn is greater than 250W per phase. The circulator is automatically shut down
if the power exceeds 375W per phase.
The GGD tests its column heaters on startup. It will display any problems detected on
the LCD but it will not stop the POST process. See
Manual Operation
When the GGD is in manual mode all automatic responses are disabled and you can
manually control the dryer. You can start or stop the drying processes. You can switch
which column is drying. You can start or stop regenerating a column. You can start or
stop venting a column.
The TROUBLE LED will be illuminated and the TROUBLE RELAY de-energized
(asserted) whenever the GGD is in manual operation.
Select SET TO MANUAL from the TOOLS MENU to enter manual mode. If SET TO
MANUAL does not appear on the TOOLS MENU then you are already in manual mode.
Normal Operation
When the GGD is in normal operation, it will manage column changeover and
regeneration automatically. It will use the values of the minimum drying time, maximum
drying time and desired dew point to determine how often to change and regenerate a
column.
The GGD will display the inlet and outlet dew points on the numerical displays. It will
energize the dew point high relay if the inlet dew point is greater than the dew point
alarm level. The inlet and outlet dew points are also available through two 4-20 mA
outputs.
The 4-20 mA current output corresponds to –80 to +20 degrees centigrade.
REMINDER! Should the system go into trouble, access the menu items SHOW
FAULTS LOG and SHOW POWER LOG for more information.
• CIRCULATOR FAULT: The dryer disables the circulator and enters a circulator fault
state when the current supplied to the motor gets too far out of balance.
The problem is usually caused by an out of tolerance condition in one of the phases in
the three phase power.
The fault condition is cleared by pressing the reset button on the front of the display.
Press the reset button and view the values of Ia and Ic using the VIEW 3 PHASE
selection on the VIEW MENU. The magnitude and phase angle of the currents should
be within 10% of each other. A low value for Ia indicates a problem with phase L1. A
large difference in phase angles indicates a problem in phase L2. A low value for Ic
indicates a problem with phase L3.
