Generator Hydrogen Coolers
Generator Hydrogen Coolers
(OP)
We have a hydrogen cooler for a large electric generator, which requires 2000 GPM of cooling water at 85F. I know the heat load. Evaluating cooler performance with new coolant properties an new coolant temperatures, I need to know the Hydrogen inlet/outlet temperatures.
Does anyone know the typical Hydrogen temperatures for large (300 - 1000 Megawatt) pressurized hydrogen cooled machines. Have the temperatures become fairly standardized over the years (like so many parameters for well evolved machines) or are they all over the place.
I am not able to find this data on this 450 MVA machine manufactured in Japan.
Thanks in advance for any help

The cooling water flow is 4000gpm and the temperature 95F.
However the final hydrogen temperatures will depend also on the hydrogen flow and the cooler transfer area.
