SGen-2000P – Pressure & Sealing
Simplified I&C and Sealing

Load dependent air pressure control


• Generator designed to maintain slight overpressure to
avoid contamination (semi-closed system comparable to
hydrogen cooled generators)
• Pressure control by rotor winding temperature
• Pressurizing only at high excitation current, lagging power

• Continuous fresh air supply, intended air
exchange to maintain low dew point

Shaft seal design


• Brush seal attached to bearing pedestal vapor seal
• Reference from steam turbine design
• Brush seal expected design life ~ 30 years (max. leakage
rates for worn brush seals considered in design)
