First, sorry by my bad english.
We have a problem with a ge hydrogen cooled generator 1GW the hydrogen consumption goes up and don't find the problem.
The normal rate of comsuption is a 1 pyramid of hidrogen (16 bottles) in 14 days and now we need 1 piramid for two days.
We found in past a high concentración of hidrogen in the pipe of vent separator chamber to the atmosphere and we decide setting upper the pressure of oil seals.
We checked the pipes, generator seals, etc... and dont found hydrogen leaks.
The current diferencial pressure hydrogen-oil setting in seals is around 10 psi and have a Flow of 18 gpm each one.
The purity of H2 it's correct and constant around 98%.
It's posible setting upper de oil pressure makes goes up the scavenging Flow and this is the problem?
Any solution? It's too high the settings of differential pressure?
Thans so much.
