A blocking element for a rotor head winding of a turbogenerator has a form which is adapted to the contour of the adjacent conductor of the rotor head winding. A depression extending in the axial direction is made in the side of the blocking element facing the conductor, which depression forms a serpentine channel for a cooling fluid from an inlet port on the small radius to a discharge port on the highest radius, with the discharge port communicating with a ventilation bore of the rotor cap enclosing the rotor winding head. An improved cooling effect with a reduced flow of cooling fluid and an increase in the efficiency of the turbogenerator as a whole results.

The invention relates to a control system for reducing rotor vibrations, in particular the variability thereof, in shafting, in particular turbine shafting, in which the temperature of the bearing () of the shaft is measured and the oil () supplied to the bearing is adjusted to a temperature as is assigned as the output variable in an allocation for minimised rotor vibrations with the measured temperature of the bearing as the input variable. The allocation can, for example, be provided by an initial measurement of the rotor vibrations or by a self-learning system. According to the invention, the variability of the rotor vibrations is restricted.

In a rotating electrical machine, in particular a generator, different components, such as, for example, rotor, stator rod and end zone, are cooled as required by associated external fans, whereby the cooling power requirement is reduced. The method for cooling includes a plurality of cooling fans arranged for cooling different components of the machine, wherein a cooling fan is individually controlled in its cooling performance in accordance with the temperature of the associated component.

A rotor body for a rotor of a rotating electric machine, in particular a turbogenerator, has at least one pole axis extending perpendicularly to a longitudinal center axis of the rotor body. At least one section of the rotor body has at least two layers produced from different materials, which layers are arranged in alternation, wherein the materials differ from each other with respect to the electrical conductivity thereof. A layer sequence direction of a layer structure formed by the layers extends perpendicularly to the pole axis and to the longitudinal center axis.

An electric machine having a stator and a rotor arranged on an axis of rotation and a first fan, which extends in the radial direction on one section of the axis of rotation and delivers a coolant flow into the electric machine during operation. The electric machine further includes a fan directing element, which interacts with the first fan and deflects at least a proportion of the coolant flow. Variable and demand-based cooling of the electric machine can be achieved by the fan directing element, which can in particular be adjustable.

A cooling device for an electric motor includes at least one closed capillary tube, within which a cooling fluid is located and which is introduced into an opening of a lamination stack of the electric motor such that the capillary tube is connected to the lamination stack to conduct heat and partially projects out of the lamination stack, such that the capillary tube has a cold end disposed outside and a hot end disposed inside the lamination stack. The cooling fluid and the degree of filling of the capillary tube with the cooling fluid is chosen such that an input of heat from the lamination stack into the capillary tube leads to evaporation of the cooling fluid, and the cold end of the capillary tube is cooled such that vapor produced during the evaporation condenses and heat input into the capillary tube is dissipated out of the capillary tube.
