Introduction
This position paper provides information regarding GE Aero AC generator temperature
limitations for starting, operation and transportation/lifting.
Description
Generator specified start-up and operational temperature limits are the following:
-
OPERATION: Once the generator is started up and running with load, there are no
minimum cooling air temperature limits as the generator develops sufficient heat on
its own.
The generator room has enclosure ventilation fans to force air into the room to keep the
room purged, and provide a small amount of positive pressure for adequate generator
bearing seal. These ventilation fans draw air from the inlet filter bank, ventilation side.

The temperature of this air will be ambient unless the air is heated with inlet glycol
heated coils or other means. Generator lube oil systems and equipment should be
protected from cold ventilation airflow to maintain their temperature > 5 F.
For outdoor generator applications, these same start permissives apply.

Conclusion
AC generators have temperature ratings that should be adhered for start-up, operation
and transportation/lifting, as applicable. GE Aero standard design has features to
ensure proper temperatures are in design range prior to start up, during operation and
shutdown sequence. Logistics should adhere to temperature rating of the generator
based on ambient condition during transportation/lifting of the machine. Special steel
materials can be provided on project specific basis, as needed, that would allow cold
steel capability to as low as -40 deg C.
