1.4 Protection of Equipment

1.4 Protection of Equipment

CAUTION
The following recommendations must be applied to avoid possible damage to the
machine.

1.4.1 General Information


● The protective and preservation measures used for transport are not present during the
erection phase. During erection the covers used during transport will be progressively
removed and replaced by generator components or other temporary covers. During this
time the turbo-generator components are vulnerable to damage from the environment if
proper precautions are not taken.
● The components most at risk are the turbo-generator stator and rotor. The stator core
has a large mass and reacts slowly to changes in the ambient air temperature. It has to
be protected from sudden changes in ambient air temperature and/or humidity to avoid
2015-06-16 EN Approved

condensation of water on the internal surfaces of the stator core and stator winding.
Lng. Status

Moisture formation on internal surfaces will result in rust on unprotected steel surfaces
and low winding insulation resistance. The rotor is similarly susceptible to these effects.
● Corrosion damage can require extensive efforts to return the components to their original
condition, and in many cases cannot be fully removed. Susceptible components will
Rev. Released

begin to show signs of rusting after exposure to moist air for only a short time (one day),
therefore only by strictly keeping to the requirements given in this document can such
problems be avoided.
-
Type
DC

1.4.2 Precautions during unpacking turbo-generator components


9470 HTGG611728

● As a general rule unpacking of parts, removal of shipping covers and protective devices
Dept. Document No.

should preferably take place shortly before installation in order to protect parts and
components from damage, humidity and contamination for as long as possible.
● In particular the time between opening the generator stator transport / protection covers
and closing the stator again must be minimized. During this time the open stator must be
protected from moisture, particularly rain. This is of obvious concern when the power
plant is outdoors, but it can be overlooked on indoor installations where the permanent
building may not be completely finished or large doorways may be left open. Under these
conditions the building may not provide adequate protection and, as in the outdoor plant,
additional covers will be needed.
● Before removing the transport/protection covers, ensure that the stator structure is at the
same temperature as the ambient air or higher. If the structure is colder than the ambient
air then, depending on the dew point temperature, condensation could form on the stator
components. If the stator has been moved from a colder environment to a warmer
environment, e.g. from outside to inside the turbine hall, then time must be allowed for
the stator temperature to stabilize to the ambient air temperature before removing the
covers - this could take several days.
● Do not remove the covers if the stator internal air temperature is below the dew point of
the external, ambient air.
● Remove one transport/protection/enclosure cover at a time (NDE then DE), immediately
replacing it by the temporary closure plates/covers to be used during the erection period,
i.e. do not have both ends of the stator open at the same time. This minimizes the
exchange of the dry air within the stator with the ambient air.

1.4 Protection of Equipment

● The Generator should be kept closed directly until the lifting process. If the foundation
allows for leaving the transport/protection covers on the generator, then it should be lifted
with the covers on. Otherwise dehumidifiers must be prepared in advance and waiting on
the turbine block ready to use. These devices should be connected immediately after
putting (lifting) the generator on the foundation.

1.4.3 Preservation during the erection phase

General
● Any openings on the generator need to be closed with plastic sheeting or wooden covers
and sealing tape to avoid excessive interchange between the dry air inside the generator
with the ambient air outside.
● The relative humidity of the air within the generator must be regularly monitored and
controlled to keep it at a low level. Generally relative humidity levels above 40% increase
the risk of rusting of unprotected steel surfaces.
● Additionally the steel temperature must always be kept at least 5K above the dew point
temperature of the air within the generator. The dew point can be obtained using the
2015-06-16 EN Approved

graph in Figure 1-1 from the measured air temperature and relative humidity, or directly
from the measuring equipment if a dedicated temperature/humidity detector is used.
Lng. Status

● The measurable steel temperatures within the generator depend on the specific design.
The stator core is common to all machine types and is normally the preferred
measurement since this has the greatest mass and will react more slowly to changes in
Rev. Released

ambient temperature. It is therefore at higher risk of condensation.


However, on generators with all-steel housings, then housing temperatures are much
easier to measure from the practical point of view and should not be much different from
-
Type

the core temperature under stable conditions.


DC

For guidelines on monitoring the steel temperature, see section ‘Measurement and
control of generator steel temperature.
● The generator steel temperature, the air temperature and humidity inside the generator
9470 HTGG611728
Dept. Document No.

shall be measured daily and be part of the site report. Additionally the ambient
temperature and humidity in the turbine hall shall be measured and reported.
Unless local site conditions are particularly dry and stable, then it is recommended that
automatic, hourly logging of air relative humidity and temperature both inside and outside
the generator is carried out.
● When other generator parts are removed (such as cooler, enclosures, bearing covers,
shaft seals, brush-gear enclosures etc.), the exposed components must be covered with
a clean tarpaulin or dustsheet.

Control of relative humidity of the air within the generator


● Unless the ambient site conditions are particularly dry, it is likely that a dehumidifier will
need to be applied in closed loop configuration to control the relative humidity of the air
within the generator.
● As a general rule, if the relative humidity of the ambient air outside the generator is above
45%, then the generator internal air will need to be dried continuously using a
dehumidifier. Further information regarding the selection and use of dehumidifiers is
given in document HDST601072.
● When the generator is being actively worked on, dehumidifiers should be applied
continuously if feasible during the day and always during the night or during periods of
inactivity.
● The air dehumidifier must in any case be in operation daily for a minimum of 3 hours.
The operation can be split into three periods each period being of one-hour duration. This
will help to keep the relative humidity in the stator within acceptable limits.

1.4 Protection of Equipment

● If it is not feasible to use dehumidifiers during the day shift, then the humidity inside the
stator additionally needs to checked every two hours during the working time.
● If the relative humidity inside the generator exceeds 60%, or, due to a sudden inflow of
warm, humid air, condensation takes place on the generator, then the generator should
be closed and the dehumidifier applied until the relative humidity is again below 30%
before the stator can be opened for work and the dehumidifier stopped or disconnected.

Note
At certain times, the generator will be exposed to the station ambient air for
extended periods dependant on the generator type, e.g. during rotor insertion,
assembling the housing end closures/end housings, cooler pockets and terminal
box. It will be extremely difficult to avoid ingress of ambient station air into the
generator during these periods; therefore it is important that the local weather
conditions are checked in advance for any expected sudden increase in air
temperature and humidity during these periods.

CAUTION
2015-06-16 EN Approved

If a sudden increase in air relative humidity/temperature occurs and enters the


Lng. Status

generator then condensation can occur extremely quickly on the colder generator
surfaces. If this occurs, then additional measures to dry out the generator may be
necessary (e.g. immediately wiping accessible surfaces to remove condensed

water, followed by combined heating and dehumidification).

1.4 Protection of Equipment

Measurement and control of generator steel temperature


● It is preferable that the stator core steel temperature is measured as this is more at risk
of condensation due to its large mass. This can be measured in different ways according
to availability of equipment and access:
(i) Measure the temperature using the RTD’s embedded in the stator winding:
This is done using a dedicated meter or a simple ohmmeter and the
temperature calculated from the measured resistances (ref IEC 60751). Safe
access is needed to the RTD terminals.
(ii) Measure the core steel temperature remotely using an infrared thermometer:
(e.g. Fluke 62 or 561). It is recommended to take the average of 4 readings
taken at the DE and NDE depending on access.
● Alternatively, on generators with steel housing constructions, e.g. hydrogen-cooled, the
housing steel can be monitored with a contact thermometer or other suitable equipment.
It is recommended to take the average of 4 readings taken around the generator at the
DE and NDE. The housing surface closest to the core should be measured (i.e. housing
body, not cooler pockets).
● The generator steel temperature must always be at least 5K above the dew point
temperature of the air within the generator, or the dew point temperature of ambient air
2015-06-16 EN Approved

outside the generator if the generator will be open for any reason.
If this criterion cannot be met, then there is a high risk of condensation occurring on the
Lng. Status

generator surfaces. This must be avoided at all times.


● However, the generator has a large mass and therefore temperature changes cannot be
achieved quickly. Using space heaters will need several days to heat through the
Rev. Released

generator; even using high powered air heaters will require many hours. By far the most
effective way to avoid condensation in the generator is to control the relative humidity
(and therefore dew point) of the air inside the generator using a dehumidifier as
-

described above.
Type
DC

● If heating of the generator is foreseen as a precaution against condensation during


periods when the generator is going to be open to the ambient air (e.g. rotor insertion
etc.), then heating should be started up to 2 weeks in advance of the period of opening to
9470 HTGG611728
Dept. Document No.

ensure a thorough heat soak and even temperature distribution.


● To achieve this, temporary space heaters will need to be installed in the foundation air
pit. As a rule-of-thumb, about 1 kW of distributed heat is required to keep the generator
1°C above the ambient air temperature once temperatures are stabilized depending on
the generator type.
● The temporary installation (positioning, fixing, cabling) shall not result in any fire hazard
within the generator.

1.4.4 Monitoring during the erection phase


● During installation the air temperature and relative humidity inside and outside the
generator stator shall be recorded on a daily basis. Ideally an automatic logging device
shall be used to record the data every hour. The downloaded data shall be part of the site
report.
● Additionally the generator steel temperature shall be measured and recorded. The
location of the steel temperature measurement shall be identified in the Test Certificate.
● Periodically check insulation resistance of stator and rotor windings in order to detect as
early as possible any changes in insulation quality. This shall be done at least 1 per
week.
● Ensure that stator casing, rotor, stator windings, bearing pedestals of generator and
exciter are kept grounded and properly connected to plant earth throughout the
installation/assembly period. Use temporary grounding cables where necessary.

1.4 Protection of Equipment

1.4.5 Clean working conditions during all work on the turbo-generator


● When in operation, the internal spaces within the turbo-generator are subjected to high
magnetic fields which can easily move loose magnetic particles and even components,
and will cause self heating of all metallic parts, both magnetic and non-magnetic.
● Cooling air circulates at high velocities picking up any dust and debris and carrying it
around to all parts of the machine. Such dust / debris can block cooling ducts leading to
over-heating and can reduce electrical creepage distances on the high voltage windings
and supports leading to electrical breakdown.
● A high level of cleanliness and material control is therefore essential to avoiding
problems in operation.
● When assembling or dismantling is being done, appropriate containers shall be used for
temporary storage of tools, nuts, bolts and other small components. No objects, metallic
or non-metallic must be tolerated lying around loose inside or on the generator.
● Disassembled or loose parts which are not used immediately shall be identified (tagged)
and protected from contamination and corrosion.
● When entering the generator or working around open bearings, wear clean clothes and
shoes (booties). Plastic overshoes shall be discarded after use and not re-used.
2015-06-16 EN Approved

All loose objects in pockets of clothes are to be removed; remove jewellery (watches,
necklace etc.). Only carry tools and parts which are necessary to carry out the work.
Lng. Status

Make sure, nothing gets dropped or lost. After working inside the generator or bearing
pedestals, always make sure that all tools, parts and materials get removed again.
Frequently check for foreign objects and remove them. Clean-up possible debris
Rev. Released

periodically.
To ensure these requirements are met, strict inventory control of parts and tools entering
and leaving the stator housing shall be applied.
-

● Grinding, welding, chiseling in the immediate vicinity of the generator must be avoided.
Type
DC

Otherwise, the generator components (especially windings, core, bearings, brush-gear,


and generator rotor) must be covered-up and sealed-off from the contaminating source.
9470 HTGG611728
Dept. Document No.

CAUTION
Metallic or abrasive contamination on winding insulation, bearings, lube oil
systems, generator slip rings etc. may cause severe damage to the machine.

● Parts and components are to be set down on wooden blocks. Whereby machined
surfaces are to be protected additionally with plastic sheets, in order to prevent corrosion.
● Meticulous inspection of the stator windings and core shall be carried out at various
stages of assembly such as:
− Before inserting the rotor, when it is delivered separately.
− Before installation of the generator enclosures.

3.2.2 Calculate required sole-plate & foundation-support elevations


1. Mark the locations and areas where the foundation base plates (sole plates) are to be
placed on the foundation.
2. Calculate the required elevation of the top support face of the foundation supports and
sole plates, based on the distance to the theoretical shaft centre line.

Note
Due to the shaft bending line (natural sag of the rotors) the generator will have to
be set in a certain slope. The generator frame must form a straight line, within that
slope!

3. Measure the elevation of the concrete at the base plate’s locations, using an optical
levelling instrument. Compare the elevation readings to the calculated requirements.
