HYDROGEN-COOLED TURBOGENERATOR Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: electrical engineering, power engineering, and electromechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: turbogenerator has electric generator, line passing hydrogen from generator frame to hydrogen drier, hydrogen drier, and line feeding dry hydrogen back to generator frame; newly introduced in turbogenerator are hydrogen compressor, unit for cleaning hydrogen from oil, control processor unit, adjustable valves and pressure controllers, and dry hydrogen storage; joint operation of all these facilities provides for hydrogen drying and its circulation within generator frame according to preset program using well-known short-cycle no-heating absorption procedure and for cleaning hydrogen from oil. EFFECT: improved performance characteristics, efficiency, and safety in operation due to reduced oil and water level in hydrogen. 2 dwg
