Abstract
The invention relates to a system and to a method for operating a system, wherein the system includes a turbo machine with a gas seal. The gas seal is supplied with a gas, in particular sealing gas, via a gas seal supply line, wherein use is made of an analysis unit which is designed to determine a physical value of the gas which flows into the gas seal.
Claims13
A system comprising:
- a turbomachine with a gas seal, wherein the gas seal is fluidically connected to a gas seal supply line, characterized by an analysis unit, which is configured to determine a physical value of a gas that flows into the gas seal, the analysis unit being configured to determine a molar mass of the gas, further comprising a regulating unit which regulates a valve in the gas seal supply line, the physical value determined in the analysis unit being taken into account for the regulating of the valve.
A method for operating a system having a turbomachine with a gas seal, the method comprising:
- suppling the gas seal with a gas, in particular a barrier gas, through a gas seal supply line;
- determining, by an analysis unit a physical value of the gas that flows into the gas seal, wherein the analysis unit is configured to determine a molar mass of the gas;
- and
- regulating, by a regulating unit, a valve in the gas seal supply line, wherein the physical value determined in the analysis unit is taken into account for the regulating of the valve.
