1. Why GT generator hydrogen purity drop and the alarming and shutdown value?/ 1. 为什么 GT 发生器氢气
纯度下降及报警停机值？

Answer: The only way that air can make its way into a generator which is at 2 barg (twice atmospheric
pressure, or, 30 psig) is by entrainment in the Seal Oil. The medium for Seal Oil is Lube Oil and Lube Oil is in
contact with air in the L.O. Tank, the drain returns, etc. So, the hydrogen sides of the generator seals is how air
gets released (liberated) from the Seal Oil (L.O.) into the generator. (Seal Oil is at approximately 5 psig above
generator casing pressure.) As the Seal Oil is flowing through the seals, the air is released (liberated) from the
oil into the area which should only contain hydrogen.

seal oil drain enlargement flows could be blocked, but if that was done then it's likely that when the unit is
started and the generator rotor fan starts circulating the gases (hydrogen and air liberated from the Seal Oil)
inside the generator casing that the purity would decrease.

Hydrogen scavenging lines from the hydrogen sides of the seals. The scavenging rates must be increased to
return the hydrogen purity(s) to the desired levels, though it doesn't usually take a lot of increased scavenging
under normal conditions.

The hydrogen purity sensors are purposely set (under normal valving set-up) to monitor the lowest possible
hydrogen concentration, which should be the hydrogen side seal drain enlargements.

Alarming and shutdown value:

Terminal enclose & collector enclose start scavenging and alarm from 85% hydrogen purity and shutdown 80%
hydrogen purity
Casing purity will start scavenging and alarm from 95% hydrogen purity and shutdown 90% hydrogen purity

2. What will be Reason for water shortage in boiler?/ 锅炉缺水的原因是什么？

Answer:
a) The automatic water feeding regulating device is out of order or adjustment mechanism breaks down, so
the fault is not identified and handled in a timely manner.
b) The feed pump trips.
c) The feed water pressure is too low.
d) The feed water pipes or economizer tubes blast.
e) The boiler pressure rises after the load shielding of the steam turbine and the safety valve cannot blow
back after it pops up.
f) The blowdown valve of the boiler leaks, with large discharge capacity.
g) The water level gauge points to a low value, and it gives out an low water level alarm signal.
h) The feed water flow is not normal, which is less than the steam flow.
 Handling for Water shortage in boiler:
a) The water is low to -75mm (compared with the normal level), it gives out a low water level alarm signal. The
operators should judge the causes for low water level and handle it.
b) Set the feed water automatic adjustment mode to hand-operated mode if necessary, and increase feed
water appropriately.
c) If the handling fails to work, when water level drops to -740mm, the low level II water level protection of
boiler will operate, and then the boiler trips, which will inter-trip the steam turbine and gas turbine.
d) If such protection fails to respond, shut the boiler down manually immediately.
