SEAL OIL SYSTEM

IN ORDER TO PREVENT ESCAPE OF HYDROGEN

FROM THE GENERATOR IT IS ESSENTIAL TO PROVIDE SHAFT
SEALS AT BOTH ENDS WHERE THE SHAFT EXTENDS
THROUGH THE CASING.
THIS IS ACHIEVED BY PROVIDING RADIAL OIL
FILMS IN THE SYSTEM, THIS OIL BEING KEPT AT A HIGHER
PRESSURE THAN THAT OF THE HYDROGEN INSIDE THE
GENERATOR.
THE LOCATION WHERE THE ROTOR SHAFT PASSES
THROUGH THE STATOR CASING ARE PROVIDED WITH
RADIAL OR RING TYPE SEAL RINGS.THE SEAL EING IS
FORMED BY JOINING TWO SEMICIRCULAR RINGS.

BABBIT METAL
BABBIT METAL IS A COMPOSITION OF TIN, ANTIMONY AND
COPPER .THE SEAL RING IS LINED WITH BABBIT METAL ON THE
SHAFT JOURNAL SIDE.

BABBIT METAL HAS A LOW MELTING TEMPERATURE TO
SAFEGUARD THE SHAFT IN CASE OF OIL STARVATION.

THE SEAL OIL IS SUPPLIED TO THE SEALING GAP FROM THE
SEAL BODY VIA RADIAL HOLES AND ANNULAR GROOVE IN
THE SEAL RING.

THE TWO HALF OF THE SEAL RING ARE GUIDED IN THE SEAL
BODY, WHICH IS BOLTED ON THE END SHIELD
SEALING PHENOMENON
TO ENSURE EFFECTIVE SEALING THE SEAL OIL PRESSURE IN
THE ANNULAR GAP IS MAINTAINED AT 1.5 KSC ABOVE THE GAS
PRESSURE WITHIN THE GENERATOR CASING.

THE OIL DRAINED ON THE HYDROGEN SIDE AND AIR SIDE OF
THE SEALRINGS IS THROUGH DRAINS IN THE SEAL BODY AND
SEALING COVER RESPECTIVELY.

ON THE AIR SIDE RING RELIEF OIL IS SUPPLIED AT 0.5KSC
ABOVE THE SEAL OIL PRESSURE LATERALLY TO THE SEAL
RING VIA AN ANNULAR GROOVE.

EQUIPMENTS IN SEAL OIL SYSTEM
SEAL OIL PUMP ( 3 X 100%) DUTY
VACUUM PUMP (1)
SEAL OIL COOLER ( 2 X 100%) DUTY
DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE REGULATOR
SEAL OIL FILTERS (DUPLEX & SIMPLEX)
SEAL OIL PUMP
SEAL OIL PUMP IS A THREE SCREW DESIGN POSITIVE
DISPLACEMENT PUMP
ONE DOUBLE THREADED DRIVING ROTOR AND TWO DRIVEN IDLER
SCREWS ARE CLOSED MESHED AND RUN WITH A CLOSE
CLEARANCE IN THE CASING INSERT.
BY INTERMESHING, THE HELICAL PASSAGES IN THE ROTORS ARE
DIVIDED INTO COMPLETELY SEALED COMPARTMENTS, WHILE
ROTATING, TRAVEL UNIFORMLY AND WITH OUT UNDUE STRESSES
FROM SUCTION TO DISCHARGE END.
THIS ACTS LIKE A PISTON
DUE TO LOW COMPRESSIBILITY OF OIL VERY HIGH PRESSURE MAY
ARISE ON THE DELIVERY SIDE
HENCE RELIEF VALVE IS PROVIDED ON THE PUMP CASING TO
PROTECT THE SEAL OIL SYSTEM
VACUUM PUMP
THE VACUUM PUMP IS A SINGLE STAGE ROTARY VANE TYPE
ROTARY SLIDING VANE PUMP CONSISTS OF A CYLINDRICAL CASING
WHICH IS ECCENTRICALLY SUPPORTED
THE ROTOR HAS VANES WHICH ARE FORCED APART BY SPRINGS
THE VANES SLIDE ALONG THE CASING WALL.
IT PUSHING FORWARD THE AIR DRAWN IN AT THE SUCTION
CHANNEL AND FINALLY DISCHARGING IT AT THE PUMP THROUGH
THE OIL IMMERSED DISCHARGE VALVE
THE OIL ALSO SERVES AS THE PUMP LUBRICATION
OIL LEVEL IN THE PUMP HAS TO ENSURED AS OIL VAPOUR GETS
EXTRACTED WHEN EXPELLING THE GAS.
SEAL OIL COOLER
THIS COOLER IS DESIGNED FOR SERVICE WITH RAW WATER.
COOLER CONSISTS OF
I. UPPER WATER BOX
II. SHELL
III. TUBE SYSTEM
IV. LOWER WATER BOX
THE LOWER TUBE PLATE IS FIXED AND THE UPPER TUBE
PLATE IS MADE FLOATING TO CATER FOR THE THERMAL
DIFFERENTIAL EXPANSION BY USING A RUBBER RING.
OIL INLET AND OUTLET ARE PROVIDED IN THE SHELL.
THE CIRCULATING WATER SIDE OF THE TUBE PLATE AND THE
INNER SURFACE OF THE WATER BOX ARE PAINTED WITH EPOXY
COAL TAR
SEAL OIL COOLER MAINTENANCE
THE EFFICIENCY OF THE COOLER DEPENDS VERY MUCH ON THE
CLEANLINESS OF THE COOLING SURFACE
CLEANING OF THE INSIDE OF THE TUBES CAN BE CARRIED OUT BY MEANS
OF SOFT BRASS WIRE BRUSH MECHANICALLY.
IF THERE ARE HARD SCALES CHEMICAL TREATMENT HAS TO BE RESORTED
LIKE WISE SHELL SIDE CAN BE CLEANED.
SHELL CAN BE CLEANED IN A HOT BATH OF 10% CAUSTIC SODA SOLUTION
IN CASE OF LEAKAGE OF COOLER TUBE IS SUSPECTED THE SHELL SIDE
SHOULD BE SUBJECTED TO A PRESSURE OF 16 KSC USING LUBE OIL.
KEEPING THE COOLER IN THE HORIZONTAL POSITION AND THE FAULTY
TUBE SHOULD BE PLUGGED WITH TAPER PLUGS. 5 % OF THE TUBES CAN
BE PLUGGED WITH OUT SACRIFICING THE DUTY.
DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE REGULATING VALVE
DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE REGULATING VALVE IS INTENDED TO
REGULATE THE SEAL OIL PRESSURE BEING SUPPLIED TO SHAFT SEALS
IN RELATION TO GAS PRESSURE IN THE GENERATOR CASING.

DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE REGULATOR HAS
1. VALVE HEAD
2. MAIN BELLOWS
3. UPPER STUFFING BELLOWS
4. VALVE STEM
5. COMPRESSION SPRING
6. ADJUSTING NUT
7. CHECK NUT
8. YOKE
9. LOWER STUFFING BELLOWS

DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE REGULATOR A
FUNCTION
DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE REGULATOR
FUNCTION

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OIL AND GAS IS SET BY COMPRESSION OF THE
SPRING WITH HELP OF THE ADJUSTING NUT.
COMPRESSION OF THE SPRING LEADS TO DOWN MOVEMENT OF THE
VALVE STEM AND VALVE CONE.
THIS MOVEMENT REDUCES THE PRESSURE THROUGH THE VALVE AS THE
VALVE CLOSES AND INCREASES THE PRESSURE THROUGH THE LINE.
INCREASE IN H
2
PRESSURE WILL LEAD TO COMPRESSION OF THE MAIN
OPERATING BELLOW WHICH IN TURN WILL MOVE THE VALVE HEAD IN TURN
VALVE AND VALVE CONE TO CLOSE THE VALVE
CLOSING OF THE VALVE WILL REDUCE THE PRESSURE OF THE OIL AT THE
OUT LET OF THE VALVE WHILE OIL PRESSURE GOING TO THE SEALS WILL
INCREASE.

SEAL OIL FILTER
THE DUPLEX AND SIMPLEX FILTERS ARE USED IN SINGLE FLOW RING TYPE
SEAL OIL SYSTEM
THE FILTER IS INSERTED INTO THE PIPE CIRCUIT BY MEANS OF FLANGES
A CHECK IS KEPT ON THE STRAINER SCREEN BY MEANS OF THE
RECOMMENDED DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE INDICATOR .
WHEN PRESSURE REACHES 0.6 KSC THE STRAINER SHOULD BE CLEANED.
THE COMMON PROBLEM IS THE O RING FAILURE IN THE STOP COCK.
SEAL OIL FILTER -I
IF THERE IS LEAK FROM THE STOP COCK
REMOVE THE PINS
PULL OUT THE STOP COCK
REMOVE THE O RING
WASH OUT THE STOP COCK AND HOUSING
INTRODUCE THE STOP COCK AFTER GOOD OILING BUT WITHOUT O RINGS INTO
THE OPENING IN THE HOUSING
PUSH THE STOP COCK UNTIL THE GROOVE FOR THE O RING IS FREE
FIT THE O RING AND CAREFULLY PULL BACK THE STOP COCK UNTIL THE
GROOVE AT THE OPPOSITE END IS FREE.
CLEANING OF FILTER CHAMBER IS NECESSARY ONLY AFTER EVERY THIRD
FILTER ELEMENT CLEANING

STATOR WATER SYSTEM
ONE OF THE EFFICIENT WAYS OF TAKING AWAY THE LOSSES

GAS TRAP
GAS TRAP IS USED FOR DETECTING THE PRESENCE OF HYDROGEN
GAS IN THE STATOR WATER SYSTEM.
PRESENCE OF THE GAS IN THE WATER SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE DUE TO
LOOSE AND LEAK AS JOINTS AS THE WATER PRESSURE IS KEPT LOWER
THAN THE HYDROGEN PRESSURE IN THE GENERATOR CASING.
THE GAS ENTRAPPED IN THE WATER GOES TO THE UPPER CHAMBER
FROM WHERE THE GAS IS SAMPLED FOR ANY MIXING.
TOP POINTS OF THE SUPPLY AND DRAINAGE ARE CONNECTED TO ANY
INLET POINTS OF THE DEVICE.
THE THIRD POINT IS CONNECTED TO PIPE LINE AT THE OUTLET OF THE
GENERATOR.

GAS TRAP -I
DRAIN PIPE IS CONNECTED TO THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM.
THREE POINTS OF THE INLET ARE CRACK OPENED AND THE WATER IS
ALLOWED TO ENTER CONTINUOUSLY.
THE WATER SO ENTERED WILL BE CONFINED TO LOWER CHAMBER OF
THE DEVICE AND THE EXCESS WATER IS DRAINED TO THE DRAIN PIPE .
IN CASE OF WATER CARRYING HYDROGEN,THE SAME IS LIBERATED AT
THE TOP CHAMBER
THE GAS ENTERS THE SPACE THROUGH THE CENTRE HOLE IN THE
PLUG AND IS DIRECTED TO THE UPPER CHAMBER THROUGH THE
SLOT IN THE PLUG.
