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.

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

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.
