Energy | NEC SCHOTT

Be it in our private lives, or commercial and industrial sectors, we are closely dependent on the continuous supply of electrical energy provided by generators in power plants. These power plants can be fueled by water, solar, fossil or nuclear energy. Even special ships require electrically powered engines so that they can be at sea for long periods without refueling.

SCHOTT offers a variety of products that are used in the energy arena, such as

Hermetically-sealed and maintenance-free large-scale feedthroughs
- Flange-type penetrations for control and instrumentation penetrations for electrical generators as well as thermo-couple penetrations or combinations of both
- Glass-to-metal sealed (GTMS) electrical penetration assemblies (EPA) that allow the safe conduction of electricity through the fire-protective, containment-proof and hermetically sealed walls of nuclear power plants
- GTMS cable penetrations for control and instrumentation penetrations of small nuclear reactors on special ships such as submarines, icebreakers and aircraft carriers.
Specially formulated glasses and glass-ceramics, which can withstand the harsh environments and high operating temperatures that Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC), operate in, as sealing materials.
