hello,

i just want to ask if anyone know the comparison between hot end generator and cold end generator?

It may mean drive end (DE) and none drive end (NDE), where the drive end is the coupling with gear box or turbine rotor and none drive end it the other end of the rotor.
 
aisyah,

For GE-design heavy duty gas turbine-generators, a cold end drive/generator is one that is coupled to the axial compressor inlet end of the unit (the colder of the two ends of the turbine). A hot end drive/generator is one that is coupled to the exhaust end of the unit (the hotter of the two ends of the turbine).

GE F/FA/FB- and H/HA- class machines are typically cold end drives--the generator is coupled to the axial compressor inlet end of the turbine shaft.

GE B- (Frame 6B) and E- class (Frame 7E/EA and Frame 9E) machines are typically hot end drives--the generator is coupled to the exhaust end of the turbine shaft. (This include Frame 5 heavy duty gas turbines.)

It you're talking about something other than that, you would have to be more specific.

Hope this helps!
