SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the importance of monitoring hydrogen dew point in large power generators, specifically those with a capacity of 200 MW. Hydrogen, used as a cooling agent at temperatures between +45 to +75 °C, poses an explosion risk when mixed with atmospheric air. Monitoring the dew point is crucial as it indicates the level of air contamination and the potential for creating an explosive mixture. The conversation highlights the practicality of measuring dew point over total moisture content in the system.
