VGB PowerTech - Autorenexemplar - 2015
Erfahrungen bei der Anwendung der VGB-R 165 bercksichtigt und die Zustndigkeiten der betrieblichen Experten fr den Ex-Schutz deutlich
herausgestellt. Aktuelle Erkenntnisse zu den geforderten Materialien und Anforderungen an Abdichtungssysteme wurden konkreter gefasst.
Die Projektgruppe Generatoren des VGB-Arbeitskreises Elektrische Maschinen und Anlagen setzte zutzlich die Projektgruppe H2-Sicher-
heit ein, die sich aus Grnden der Ausgewogenheit aus Mitgliedern von Betreibern und Herstellern wasserstoffgekhlter Generatoren zusam-
mensetzte. Die Inhalte wurden zudem mit den Experten der VGB-Kern-AG Betriebssicherheitsverordnung abgestimmt.
Zielsetzung der berarbeitung war, zur weiteren Verbesserung der H2-Sicherheit in einem harmonisierten europischen Umfeld den Herstellern
und Betreibern einheitliche Empfehlungen an die Hand zu geben, nach denen Neuanlagen auszulegen bzw. bestehende Anlagen zu betreiben
sind. Hierbei erfolgte auch die Ableitung grundlegender Empfehlungen fr Manahmen an bestehenden Generatoren, die jedoch im Einzelfall
stets neu zu bewerten und umzusetzen sind.
Der vorliegende VGB-Standard wurde nach bestem Fachwissen erstellt, erhebt jedoch nicht den Anspruch auf Vollstndigkeit. Dem Wesen nach
ist es eine Empfehlung und kann daher nicht den Sachverstand der Anwender ersetzen.
