Generator

Electrical generator

A component for connection between a generator and a prime mover in a power generation system is disclosed. The component may be an adaptor () or a bracket (), and may be arranged to house a fan. The component comprises a rear member (), a front member (), and a plurality of cross members () which connect the front member to the rear member. The cross members are wedge-shaped and/or lie at an angle with respect to a radial direction. The component may be arranged to surround a fan. The component may facilitate airflow and enhance thermal performance while being efficient from a structural and cost perspective.

Component for a power generation system

An adaptor is disclosed for connecting a rotating electrical machineto a prime mover. The adaptor comprises at least one air outlet. The adaptor is arranged to provide an increase in a cross-sectional area of air flow towards the outlet. In this way part of the dynamic pressure can be converted into additional static pressure rise through steady expansion of the air flow cross-section. This in turn may help to improve the overall amount of cooling air passing through the machine for a given fan input power.
