A combined cooling and abrasion particles removal system and method for providing cooling and removing abrasion particles in a contact region between a brush and a slip ring of an electromechanical machine, the system comprising a passage for accommodating the brush and having a front opening adapted to face the slip ring, at least one supply tube with an outlet for blowing a gaseous medium at least partially into a direction towards a free space adjacent to the front opening, and at least one suction tube with an inlet opening for sucking off the gaseous medium and the abrasion particles from the free space. In order to pick up abrasion particles and provide sufficient cooling, the free space merges with a vortex chamber for generating a vortex of the gaseous medium carrying the abrasion particles in operation of the system.

Combined cooling and dust extrusion device and method

The present invention relates to a rotor for a rotating machine and more in particular, to a component of the rotor. The present invention generally relates to an improved cooling configuration of a rotating machine. Unlike generally known arrangements, the solution proposed herein does not guide coolant fluid to parts which require cooling. Instead, the heat generated from the losses in the rotor pole is transferred to parts having favourable characteristics for establishing heat exchange.

Thermally conductive material between rotor coil and core for improved cooling

An electric machine with a closed circuit air cooling provides using only passive elements to realize an efficient and compact heat transfer from inside the electric machine to an ambient heat sink.

Electric machine with closed circuit air cooling

The rotor for an electric machine comprises a shaft, a spider on the shaft, a laminated drum on the spider. The spider has a plurality of apart elements defining ducts between each other. The laminated drum has a plurality of cooling channels connected to the ducts. The rotor also has throttle elements associated to at least one duct and/or cooling channel.

Rotor for an electric machine and method for retrofit

An air-cooled motor-generator () includes a rotor () with a rotor shaft (), which is arranged rotatably about a machine axis () and on which a rotor winding () is arranged, and a stator () with a stator laminate stack () and a stator winding () arranged therein, which concentrically surrounds the rotor winding () A closed cooling circuit operating with cooling air () is provided, with the cooling air in the cooling circuit flowing through the rotor winding () and the stator winding () radially from the inside outwards, the cooling air being cooled in coolers () arranged outside the stator () and being fed back to the rotor (). Cooling which can be changed before or during operation is achieved in a simple manner by virtue of the fact that adjustable throttle devices are provided for adjusting the volume flow of the cooling air in the cooling circuit at the coolers ().

Air-cooled motor-generator and method for operating a motor-generator

A slip-ring arrangement of a rotating electrical machine includes a plurality of slip-rings disposed concentrically about an axis of the electrical machine one behind the other in an axial direction, the plurality of slip-rings configured to be self-supporting.
