Hydrogen Control Cabinet: HCC II
When Hydrogen purity drops, windage losses and operating costs increase, resulting in lost revenue and profitability. Gas purity is also a critical life safety issue, making monitoring for potentially explosive levels essential.
E/One's Hydrogen Control Cabinet (HCC) was designed specifically for monitoring and controlling hydrogen purity in GE generators that utilize scavenging seal oil systems. The HCC contains two independent analyzers that monitor hydrogen purity from both the turbine-end seal drain enlargement and the collector-end seal drain enlargement.
Designed to be used in a hazardous location, the HCC has the ability to automatically increase the amount of hydrogen gas bled from the generator. It's also an easy replacement for your old hydrogen control cabinet. Featuring digital displays, warnings and alarms, the HCC works with all GE and non-GE control systems.
