Abstract
A rotating rectifier assembly which can be used in a brushless electrical generator comprises an arrangement for supporting diode semiconductor devices in an axially loaded assembly of components within a housing of the rectifier assembly without compressively loading the diode semiconductor devices themselves. Provision is made for flowing liquid coolant in direct contact with the diode semiconductor devices and for the escape of air which is centrifugally separated from the liquid coolant during high speed rotation of the rectifier assembly. The rectifier assembly is compact, light weight and highly reliable.
