Will recirculating closed loop hydrogen cool a generator?
The cooling system for the generator needs to meet several goals, and recirculating closed loop hydrogen systems have proven to meet these challenging goals for nearly 60 years. There is every reason to expect that hydrogen cooling will continue to be the standard approach to baseload utility scale generator cooling.
