Russian to English Tech/Engineering Energy / Power Generation turbo generator
Речь идет о турбогенераторе с водородно-водяным охлаждением. Был бы рад помощи тех, кто знает термин. Дословно перевести я и сам могу. Спасибо!

Andrei Aleinikov (asker) Nov 15, 2017:
The last portion of my thanks, Frank. Every success!
Andrei Aleinikov (asker) Nov 15, 2017:
Many thanks once again! Would it be a good idea to slightly correct your translation then?
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Nov 15, 2017:
Yes, I have the seal oil system in mind:
Properly operating seal oil systems will help prevent the possibility of an explosive mixture of hydrogen and air from occurring inside the generator case.
Andrei Aleinikov (asker) Nov 15, 2017:
Many thanks indeed! I came across a more concise term, "seal oil system". Do you think, Frank, it is what you have in mind? Thank you again.
Andrei Aleinikov (asker) Nov 15, 2017:
As far as I understand, this system is part of the entire hydrogen-water cooling system. My text is about a hydrogen-water cooled turbo generator.
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Nov 15, 2017:
There are a couple of possibilties depending on the function. One possibility is that is part of the system for venting/discharge of hydrogen gas, either for maintenance purposes or in emergency situations, when the hydrogen gas has been mixed with air - an explosive situation. I have one more possibility in mind.

seal oil system

Hydrogen seals
The hydrogen seals are two of the most critical components to contain the hydrogen in the generator case and keep air out of the generator case. One seal is on the exciter end of the generator and one is on the turbine end. Each seal uses pressurized oil to create a seal between the generator enclosure and the rotating field. The seal oil for an auxiliary skid is supplied at a higher pressure than the hydrogen case pressure to ensure the oil flows in the direction of the generator case. A labyrinth seal prevents oil from entering the generator. A crucial component in the seal oil system is the differential pressure regulator, which maintains the proper differential pressure between the seal oil pressure and hydrogen case pressure. Properly operating seal oil systems will help prevent the possibility of an explosive mixture of hydrogen and air from occurring inside the generator case.
