e-one+Logo.jpg

Specific topics will include:

  • Understanding Hydrogen as a generator cooling medium

  • Hydrogen Safety: best practices for safe plant operation

  • Mandatory Hydrogen Purity Monitoring: the latest in measurement technology

  • Generator Condition Monitoring: detecting overheat and arcing in your generator

  • Generator Gas Dryers: the importance of hydrogen dew point control

  • Generator Gas Manifold: considerations for automating generator purging

In this informative webinar, Gus Graham, Director of Products and Markets for E/One’s Utility Systems Business, will provide a guide for addressing your critical auxiliary system upgrade needs while meeting these market challenges. He will provide an understanding of hydrogen properties as an effective cooling medium for turbo generators and the safety challenges it presents. 

Below are some of the questions discussed during the webinar:

  • Can nitrogen gas be used for the generator purging process instead of CO2?How often should the generator purging SOP be reviewed and updated?

  • Can you use purge air on the panel to meet current EX standards, similar to how it is done with natural gas?

  • Can you repeat the impurities that may be found in hydrogen cooling gas?

  • What is your opinion on the use of excess flow check valves on the hydrogen supply?

  • In auto purge systems, what method of CO2 systems works best to prevent freezing up during an emergency purge?

  • Why not work on finding a safe substitute for hydrogen from an inherent safety point of view?
