Lectrodryer - Generator Fast Degas CO2 System

The Purging Process is Inevitable in Hydrogen Cooled Generators: Mitigate Risk, Protect Operators, and Automate the Process with Lectrodryer’s Generator Fast Degas CO2SystemINTRODUCTIONThe Lectrodryer Generator Fast Degas CO2System (GFD) is a state of the art system used to expedite the degassing of hydrogen or air from Hydrogen Cooled Generators using CO2as the inert gas. Due to the cryogenic nature of CO2, this process historically has taken 4 to 12 hours depending on the site. The GFD is proven to purge most generator capacities in 20 to 40 minutes by preventing lines from clogging with dry ice due to the expansion of the CO2. The GFD helps reduce the time and cost involved during scheduled and forced outages by allowing the generator to be purged and brought back online much more rapidly. This system is also used as a risk mitigation tool to evacuate hydrogen during dangerous upset conditions.
