The GH system treats radioactive waste gases from the primary cooling system and the cover gases of the NPP tanks.
Replacement of old compressors with modernised units from the same manufacturer, but with improvements.
Advantages of the new design:
Eliminated gearbox and fan (less space, reduced technical problems).
20% lower flow at 50 Hz without VFD, so VFD is crucial to maintain performance.
The new model (AL623C) is from the same manufacturer (NASH), but without the variable speed drive (60 Hz) which caused overheating problems.
Aim: To provide the same performance as the existing units but with a more reliable design.
