3.1
corrosion environment
environment where one or more corrosive media exist
3.2

4 General Provisions
4.1 Corrosion Environment
4.1.1 Main structures (tower and the structure above) and components of the turbine generator system is located in marine atmosphere, and the relevant corrosion environment is classified into out-housing area, in-housing area and dry-clear area by the annual corrosion rate of low carbon steel in atmospheric environment according to the provisions specified in GB/T 30790.2, see Table 1.
4.1.2 Components in dry-clear area shall be subjected to corrosion protection as specified for that not inferior to Corrosion Grade C3.
4.1.3 For hot and humid coastal areas, mass or thickness loss possibly exceed the limit for C5-M, thus special preventive measures shall be taken when coating protection system is selected for the structures used in such areas.

a) For tower, the closed tubular structure should be adopted, and sealing treatment for flange connection surface such as coating sealant should be carried out during installation; sealing design shall be adopted for tower door, and isolating room should be arranged at inner side of the door to reduce outside air intrusion in door open/close process.
b) For cabin and hub, housing, which shall be designed to be a confined space as possible, made of corrosion resistant material should be adopted.
c) For direct-drive turbine generator system, its generator enclosure separately installed between cabin and wheel hub should be made of corrosion resistant material, and sealing design shall be adopted for generator body and cooling system.
4.2.3 For turbine generator system main structures and components, corrosion protection shall be carried out according to the corrosion grade of the areas they are located in; corrosion protection measures including but not limited to coating protection, thermal spraying metal protection, hot dip galvanizing protection, combined protection of metal coating and paint coating may be adopted.
4.2.4 The following measures shall be taken for structure and component design:
a) Reasonably select corrosion resistant material and painting protection according to the corrosion environment areas they are located in;

c) Arrange drain hole and vent hole for space where water or moisture is possibly collected;
d) Minimize fitting surface and overlap surface, continuous weld shall be adopted for welded members and sealed by painting;
e) When shape and dimension change, arc transition shall be adopted, round angle design shall be adopted for edges and corners; stress corrosion shall be avoided and manufacturability for plating and painting shall be improved.
